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

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

My take on the Mexican Judicial election and some preliminary analysis. The best way to characterize Mexico's democratic backsliding is a chiaroscuro: citizens are still the heroic defenders of democracy, while the democratic temptations lurk in the background

My view is that the challenge for the Sheinbaum administration is the urgent need to rethink the social and economic development of Mexico

but not based on the tired and old ideas of the Marxist left of the 1960s

My favorite coffee house in our overpriced town of Palo Alto is Cafe Venetia www.cafevenetia.com#/

I always order the triestino, a capo scuro, cappuccio with less milk

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
