We write about the autocratic police regime Bukele has created in El Salvador, and the prison conditions -nnot in the performative cruelty of CECOT, but the OTHER prisons, the ones nobody visits and where the human horror of the regime is unspeakable www.foreignaffairs.com/salvador/doe...

El Salvador’s police state will soon face a reckoning.

We wrote about prison conditions and the total breakdown of the rule of law in in El Salvador Bukele is sacrificing thousands of innocents incarcerating one in ten young men in inhuman prison conditions, similar to Auschwitz’s, while the world applauds a cruel dictator elpais.com/america/2025...
Democracia extinguida y juventud encarcelada con Bukele
El Salvador es un país pequeño, pero su experiencia encierra una advertencia global: no hay seguridad que justifique la anulación del Estado de derecho

I think the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico was no accident: Rather than an indigenous macehual happening to walk by a hill, surprised by the apparition of the virgin, I think there was deep intentionality
I write on the most important religious devotion in Mexico, the Virgin of Guadalupe celebrated on Dec 12 My reflections are not meant to touch on issues of faith, which seem to me to be deeply personal I rather reflect on the text and its indigenous origins adiazcayeros.medium.com/notes-on-gua...
