The streets of Novi Sad last night:

And MORENA did not quite get the outcome of the election they expected. The most voted candidate teo the Supreme Court was Nuu Savi (Mixtec) attorney Hugo Aguilar Ortiz who will be the next president of the high Court

whether Aguilar will defend indigenous rights vs. megaprojects?

Still to be seen

But many voters did spoil their ballots as a form of protest as in the era of PRI hegemony.

Discontent did not mean citizens shirked from the civic duty

Mexican elections are run by citizens who volunteer in the polling booths, which were all installed

INE oversaw with professionalism.

Turnout was very low, but that does not automatically mean democratic practices were eroded

Citizens did not quite understand what they were voting for

There is no obvious counterfactual for what the "normal" turnout would be.

The complexity of the ballot would perplex any rational voter

The election of judges at all levels including the Supreme Court is not enhancing democracy

The misunderstanding comes from believing democracy = voting. The most important aspect of democratic accountability of power to citizens comes from the institutions that create checks and balances on power

Incredible project and such a public good provision to all of us trying to read and understand our colonial past

Can't wait to unlock Corsair tales like this:

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

Not sure I can find this perfect proportion nearby - maybe Gibraltar served in a glass at www.voyagercraftcoffeeorders.com/page

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

Acabo de hacer mi primer post en la plataforma

Escribiré, como solia hacerlo antes de que me echaran a perder Twitter, sobre México, economía política, cartografía, historia colonial y buen café
