A chat with Stacy Torres about her Chilean father's fear of tyranny and working as an academic in a world under attack from Trump, with me and @mariarepnikova.bsky.social
"Don’t open the door to nobody!” Life in Pinochet's Chile and Trump's America.
Stacy Torres' Chilean father advised her to be extremely suspicious about anyone who wanted information from her. She now knows why he seemed so paranoid.
