This was the cover of @reforma, one of the main dailies in Mexico, today. It included a huge, uncensored picture of the bodies of the migrants who died in a fire at an immigration detention center in Juarez. I think it speaks to how migrants are dehumanized in this hemisphere.

#Nicaragua es lo que soy y todo lo que tengo, y que nunca voy a dejar de ser, ni dejar de tener, mi memoria y mis recuerdos, mi lengua y mi escritura, mi lucha por su libertad por la que he empeñado mi palabra. Mientras más Nicaragua me quitan, más Nicaragua tengo.
