#Electing judges 👩🏽⚖️👨🏽⚖️ will make #Mexico “the most democratic country in the world”? Only if #democracy 🗳️ means turning courts ⚖️ into applause machines👏🏽. #Populism ultimately gags justice. What could go wrong?

‘Publish or perish’ evolutionary pressures shape scientific publishing, for better and worse

Las protestas contra la gentrificación en México se radicalizan al calor del nacionalismo y la memoria histórica

Stephen Colbert’s long road to goodbye has officially begun. The comedian will kick off his final season of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Tuesday, signaling the beginning of the end of his tenure as a CBS late-night host, which began in 2015.

The anti-immigration rallies are more mainstream that we would like to admit. This week, for example, the government signed a $400m deal with Nauru to deport approximately 350 asylum seekers, de facto reopening offshore detention.
