For @thebafflermag, I wrote about the Failed war on drugs, which seems destined to continue failing forever, in ways that are both amply documented historically and that dependably serve the material and ideological interests of broad segments of society https://t.co/I9Aw2qfGfz

@kaibosworth Not a history but Andy Clarno’s ‘Neoliberal Apartheid’ is good on post

[Javier Corrales @jcorrales2011]

Gangs' armed networks are distributed across urban centers, including low-income neighborhoods, ports, and the underground world, including prisons. To my knowledge, no landed-elite-supported paramilitary in Latin America ever matched this reach.

Ecuador adopting police state aesthetics, but will it build out a police state architecture?

[Will Freeman @WillGFreeman]

Ecuador’s government tries Bukele’s optics.

But will it push for extradition and special high risk courts, investigate ties between congress, local governments and mafias, secure an independent prison’s authority… ?

[Steven Cohen @SD_Cohen]

Getting definite Bukele aesthetic here, which would just be so incredibly twisted

[Dima Khatib @Dima_Khatib]

Amongst these Palestinians we recognise journalist Diaa Al Kahlout. He could not move down south because he has an elderly mother and a child with disability. Of course Israel will tell you they are all terrorists

Kissinger: “If it were not for the accident of my birth, I would be antisemitic…. Any people who has been persecuted for two thousand years must be doing something wrong.”

#VERIFICO El pasado 3 de octubre, la periodista @ZuluagaCamila no sólo desinformó sobre la situación del predio Las Franciscas, sino que calificó como invasores a víctimas del conflicto armado, cuyos derechos han sido amparados por la justicia. Análisis: https://t.co/OXozG2CwLr.

When will @zackbeauchamp apologize for Literally Celebrating the North African slave trade???

[Steven Cohen @SD_Cohen]

How’d those Principles pan out in Libya?

[Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp]

See, the nice thing about having principles is that I can point to the many, many articles and interviews where I've called out about Israel's disgraceful and indefensible conduct. Like this one yesterday: https://t.co/6r2MP6ZDu7

If I had made my bones writing about how undertaking regime change is “morally required for rich, powerful states,” I would be less quick to Police moral standing https://t.co/MlTtVxSxXq

[Andre Pagliarini @apagliar]

Lula reportedly furious Israel slow-walking release of Brazilians in Gaza and has signaled Brazil will vigorously oppose Israeli occupation of Gaza in international fora. Brazil increasingly likely to join Colombia, Chile, and Bolivia in strong denunciations of Israel. See: …

Carlos Castaño insistía en un discurso que repitieron los medios sin cuestionarlo suficientemente. Dijo una y otra vez que no eran paramilitares, sino 'autodefensa'. Un mensaje que negó el rol del Estado en la creación y evolución de todo eso. Y gran parte del país le creyó

[jayson m porter @RogueChieftan]

Grateful for the opportunity to write about one of my favorite topics—the palm tree family—and its black environmental histories in Colombia, Brazil, & Ecuador. Thanks for the space & care @BlkPerspectives! I’m so thankful to Manoel Rendeiro Neto for the Portuguese translation.

[Steven Cohen @SD_Cohen]

@arash_tehran the exact same thing? forced regime change and the withdrawal of military support seem like...the exact opposite?

[Cuestión Pública @cuestion_p]

Tras una filtración sin precedentes de la Fiscalía General🇨🇴, un equipo global de periodistas armó el rompecabezas del nuevo orden criminal.

Así nace #NarcoFiles🗂️. Una investigación de @OCCRP, @CLIP_AmericaLat, @cuestion_p y más de 40 medios💥. https://t.co/MM9j4Exw4C

[patrick "inverted vibe curve" blanchfield @PatBlanchfield]

there's a defense mechanism at work in the focus on slogans over actual carnage, since the implicit proposition is "if these people get to say things that discomfort me, then they might even be human enough to deserve not to be murdered, and boy that'd be even more upsetting"

@Geraldbermudez_ @BluRadioCo Que asco

¿"La investigación" es que Santiago Ángel leyó un informe de la Comisión de la Verdad?
