Even if we decide to ignore all the people who were here already (big if) I can still stare in Colonial Latin Americanist, from Spanish Florida and New Mexico, and tell you this is trash.

This international colloquium on state violence, featuring world-renowned scholars, was just cancelled at the last minute by the sponsoring federal agency because, @sergioaguayo was told, it featured ‘enemies of the government.’ What the hell is this, @SEGOB_mx?

Yes it’s an #OpenAccess publication but nothing quite beats receiving physical author copies. Thanks @WRUniPress!

Across Colombia, kidnappings have increased more than 80% under leftwing president Gustavo Petro, extortion is up 27% and the murder rate has barely fallen.

Sure, let’s fill Madrid with Napoleonic troops! Because last time they did it they left such a good impression! There is actually a painting in that museum that reflects that moment… Who is in charge of the promotion of this nonsense?

Ha ganado la extrema derecha en Argentina; es la decisión de su sociedad. Triste para América Latina y ya veremos... el neoliberalismo ya no tiene propuesta para la sociedad, no puede responder a los problemas actuales de la humanidad.
Quiero extender mi felicitación a @JMilei quien se convierte hoy en el nuevo presidente de la Argentina. Hoy triunfó la Democracia y se venció el populismo, la demagogia y al Grupo de Puebla.

“When I have issues with historians, I ask: ‘Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut the fuck up then.’”
