Visiting Buenos Aires, Argentina and learning what a culture of resistance looks like. From Int. Women’s Day, to protesting cuts to senior citizens, to the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo’s weekly mourning over the military dictatorship of the 70s and 80s— this is a population that remembers and resists.

Joe Biden’s pardon of Hunter tarnishes his legacy and undermines the Democratic Party’s credibility—no matter how understandable it is in the context of fatherhood. Some things are bigger than your immediate family, and this was one of them. History will not treat this kindly.
