“Latin American reformers know that the way to beat today’s new fascists is the same as it was in the 1930s and 1940s… in a voice simple, clear and sure, to improve the material conditions of people’s lives.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Love fest for @candida_alvarez_studio — this overdue retrospective exhibition at @elmuseo squarely demonstrates the incredible range of this genius artist. So, proud! Don’t miss it — you’ll be awed by her use of color, materials, and themes over the years, as well as her humor and immense humanity.

I wish more people knew about the 1920s Klan because they—perhaps more than European fascists—are the model for Trumpism. This is a good summary and a nice reminder that they do a lot of damage, but in the end, fascists always lose.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

Same in Latin America- people would be stopping traffic in the streets and sounding off their cacerolas.

I was honored to receive the 2025 MLK Humanitarian Award from New York University last night. In my remarks, I noted that to receive an award bearing Dr. King's name is both humbling and challenging for, in this critical moment, his legacy demands of us not mere words, but action and courage. 🧵

RIP Zilia Sánchez: “Ms. Sánchez had spent more than a half-century working in Puerto Rico, far from the art centers of Europe and the United States. It was an era when Latina and lesbian artists — she was both — were largely confined to the shadows” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/17/a...

Artists + scholars = my favorite combo! 👏👏

Prof Franke not pulling her punches: "In a time when assaults on higher ed are the most acute since the McCarthyite assaults of the 1950s, the University's leadership & trustees have abandoned any duty to protect the university's most precious resources: its faculty, students, & academic mission."

One of the things I just know in my guts is that when multiracial solidarity is present, the federal government has intervened to either destroy it or hide it.

Our first review is out : the writer hones in on the work of maestro Lee Quiñones latamrob.substack.com/p/unseen-gen...

Golden globe winner Zoe Saldaña deserves all the flowers and more! So happy her talents are finally being recognized.

Santurce, PR: no nos vamos de aqui!

I think journalists, policymakers and good govt types are struggling to understand DOGE because their mental model is that it is a government reform commission, operating like previous ones. Maybe. But it might be better to start thinking about it as a hostile takeover of the govt by oligarchs.

Were used to gentrification and displacement in the metro area but #DebiTirarMasFotos scenes of Tierra dentro barrios being transformed too, hit the hardest.
