Great story by my friend John Washington who interviewed Rosalina Tuyuc, who is one of the greatest advocates for finding the disappeared in Guatemala and a wonderful person.
And funny story, I lived next to the San Juan Comalapa cemetery for two years. My black cat, Paxil, was the cemetery cat.

The Trump administration is celebrating an airstrike that killed 11 people on an alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat, but historian Greg Grandin says the operation amounts to "pure premeditated murder."

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.
In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
