The United States finds itself in a human rights crisis

It is indeed strange and unexpected. Moreover, the 'fact' that @kajakallas.bsky.social was on a list of invited people only confirms that, nothing else. More quality journalism is needed here to verify what is going on before conclusions are made. IF she is tied to Dialog, that would be really bad!

Coimbra Group Annual Conference & General Assembly 2026 starts today at the University of Granada, bringing together 300 representatives from leading European universities to discuss how #research & #innovation can transform society and strengthen local communities. #CoimbraUGR2026 #CoimbraGroup2026

"The report, titled “Education Under Attack 2026,” documents at least 8,566 attacks on education and cases of military forces using educational facilities from the beginning of 2024 to the end of last year, a more than 40% increase from the previous two-year period."

It’s not a peace deal and it won’t be signed today. How do newsroom leaders feel about publishing all those “Trump says he’ll sign peace deal on Sunday” headlines?

No, it is difficult to make this stuff up! Then again, people in the current WH administration...

#HoyEnAnimal | Mexicanos residentes en Alemania se concentraron en la Potsdamer Platz de Berlín para manifestarse en contra de la construcción de una planta de amoniaco en la Bahía de Ohuira, Sinaloa. Señalan que la obra es financiada por el Banco de Crédito para la Reconstrucción de Alemania.

Interesting, but uneven essay by historian Nolan @bostonu.bsky.social. Quite good on some of the various challenges that #Sheinbaum faces; weak on the political context of the ongoing grip by old PRI now reborn in Morena. Miss the attacks on free press and NGOs. Guardian, 13. jun26, p.8-11. #Mexico

How do governments quietly shape asylum outcomes? Not by rejecting claims outright, but by choosing which kind of protection to grant New evidence published in Political Research Quarterly: doi.org/10.1177/1065... #AsylumPolicy #EUPolitics @NORCE @sampol.bsky.social @hakangs.bsky.social

It’s rather heartwarming when a couple of aged oligarchs check in on each other.

"nearly a third of the U.S. population now lives in a county with local law enforcement deputized by ICE—making traffic stops and ordinary interactions potential sites of immigration enforcement", writes @heidischlumpf.bsky.social for @commonwealmagazine.org. Think of Europe in the early 1930s...

La prensa mexicana celebra la victoria de #México sobre Sudáfrica en la inauguración del mundial 2026. 18 de junio le toca contra Corea del Sur. The mexican press celebrates the victory of Mexico against South-Africa in the opening of the World Cup 2026! 18 June its Mexico vs. South Korea. #Tri

The internet is convinced Shakira was replaced by a double at the 2026 World Cup. We examine the footage to find out what’s really behind the rumour.

Men ikke i Norge. TV2 bestemte seg for at man heller trengte flere minutter med Jesper Mathisens analyser enn å se åpningsshowet. For mye sånn"latino greier" på en torsdag,det var da ikke tacofredag, vettu . Tenk å bruke sendetid på latinamerikansk kultur under et VM som åpner i 🇲🇽Mexico

Update: if Norwegian thought they would see Maná, Lila Downs, Los Ángeles Azules, Belinda, Shakira and Burna Boy, they were dead wrong. TV2 "made an editorial decision" not to show it... Of course, one now has the option to pay TV2 extra $ to see a recording of the show. @mediablikk.bsky.social

En tan solo tres horas, #México y #Sudáfrica se enfrentan en el primer partido del Mundial de 2026. #M26 La prensa mexicana celebra, y algunos (con razón) temen que México pierda. Ojalá México logre la victoria, pero no será fácil. Mexicooooooooooo⚽⚽⚽

In #Norway you can only watch 50% of the World Cup 2026 for free on terrestrial television, via public broadcaster #NRK. If you want to see the remaining 50% of the games, you have to pay for access to the commercial tv channel TV2. Explanation: in Norway you must pay to watch ad-supported TV🤣

Professor Mata #UNAM brought his work to the CDN Lounge, UiB. A poet and translator, Mata has spent years with José Juan Tablada, the Mexican avant-garde writer whose 1919 collection "Un día...Poemas sintéticos" packed text and image into single haikus." @srettberg.bsky.social @jilltxt.bsky.social

👇 el video. ¡Qué calidad humana la de estos jugadores, de clase #mundial! #Sudáfrica #Mexico #M26

El 95% de este documental sobre #México está en español (aunque está producido por la Televisión Sueca, con subtítulos en sueco). Más que una mirada a los drones y los cárteles, el cortometraje es un importante testimonio de "las madres buscadoras" en México. Gran trabajo de @tigranf.bsky.social

This is an unacceptable attempt by the Trump administration to dodge accountability for the inhumane conditions that they subject detained people to while in ICE custody.

If you understand Scandinavian, this short documentary about drones and drug cartels in #Sinaloa, #Mexico is very interesting. Good work by @tigranf.bsky.social in Sweden's Television Ltd.! @svtnyheter.bsky.social

"Lift the discriminatory travel bans to the USA, including for teams qualified for the tournament, and drop proposals to vet social media accounts." Sign the petition of @amnesty.org 👇 #NoExcuses #DefendHumanDignity #HumanRights #Democracy #FighFascism

I was sort of pushing the limits of Premiere Pro with this one but I managed to get the captions of both Trump and Welker as accurately as possible from “Meet the Press” when the president stormed off the set.

Y hoy #Perú, veamos si los encuestadores están al tanto hoy🤔 www.rtve.es/noticias/202...

"No hay #democracia real si el partido en el poder puede perder una elección y luego decir que la derrota fue producto de una opinión extranjera". Debería hacer reflexionar a todas las personas, tanto de izquierda como de derecha, sobre lo que está sucediendo en el mundo. #Mexico #4T

Young folks, 👇 the "Latin American canon" of British author Graham Greene: The Power and the Glory (1940), #Mexico. Our Man in Havana (1958), #Cuba. The Comedians (1965), #Haiti. Travels with My Aunt (1969), #Paraguay. The Honorary Consul, (1973), #Argentina. Get them from your (used) bookseller!

And, if you have missed this: "the Iranian team will have to fly in from Mexico, clear customs, play a match and then fly back to Mexico the same day for each U.S.-based match." How many of the other teams in the tournament is are subject to such a treatment? Kudos to #Mexico that stepped up here!

As expected, Trump's MAGA 🤡🇺🇸 America is treating the worldcup less as a sporting event and more as an opportunity to bully visiting nations. 🇮🇶 Iraq World Cup striker Hussein questioned for hours at Chicago airport, source says - www.reuters.com/sports/socce...

Esperemos que ninguna de las construcciones de última hora en la Ciudad de #México se derrumbe. 🙁 Además, ¿serán correctos los cálculos sobre el número de visitantes de los analistas, o los del gobierno? La diferencia es de 4,5 millones de visitantes. #CDMX #4T #M26

Mundial 86 en #México "sirvió de bálsamo para atemperar la angustia social de la crisis económica...y de paso para darle una breve tregua al duelo nacional —con montañas de muertos—, que dejaron los terremotos de septiembre de 1985. Entonces emergió la llamada insurgencia social, la sociedad civil."

History will be made when the 2026 World Cup is kicking off at Estadio #Azteca in #Mexico City on Thursday! On 31 May 1970 Mexico played the Soviet Union, and on the same date in 1986, Azteca hosted the opening game between Italy and Bulgaria. Remember, Shakira also had the World Cup song in 2010.

"The history of the #Mexico jersey has always been one bursting with vibrant green colors of life, energy and Mexican heritage." Mexico hosted the FIFA world cup in 1970 and 1986. Finals (Brazil-Italy), (Argentina-FRG) played at Estadio #Azteca both times. www.worldsoccershop.com/guide/histor...

Just when you think that the current U.S. administration had reached rock bottom of the moral scale long time ago, they keep on feeding the beast...

I am filled with rage whenever someone frames the "immigration debate" with "you gotta hand it to Trump: he got the border under control." He did that by disregarding federal and internation law and approving widespread human-rights abuses! It's not an accomplishment, it's a national shame!

Información y contexto interesantes sobre la primera vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales en #Colombia. Gracias a @angelicatp.bsky.social por compartir.

Weiss "was brought in to kill it [60 Minutes] and is doing exactly that.”

That's why academics who now write mainly or even exclusively for those think tanks should be exclusively considered as pundits, given their rejection of the most basic norms of academic inquiry

Remember that former Fox News journalist, Greg Burke, was named as director of the Holy See Press Office by Pope Francis. Anyway, might be a good idea to take a closer look into the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty? @ncronline.bsky.social @pajaropolitico.bsky.social @christiancentury.bsky.social

Bill Pulte, who has no intelligence experience and is under investigation for manufacturing fake fraud allegations against Trump's perceived enemies, is now Acting Director of National Intelligence, overseeing the government’s vast network of spy agencies, including the CIA and NSA.

"The annual clergy conference...has just come to a close. Some 160 clergy gathered for three days to pray, socialize and explore the theme of Liberation Theology and ecojustice with Dr. Paulo Ueti of the Diocese of Brasilia", writes Bishop Andrew. Great stuff happening in @anglicandioto.bsky.social

"to understand Ernesto Cardenal merely as a revolutionary priest or political dissident would be to misunderstand him entirely. He was, before all else, a spiritual figure", writes Peter McLaren in a highly interesting piece on Ernesto Cardenal for @laprogressive.bsky.social
