La muerte del papa Francisco pone de relieve una vez más la naturaleza de la vida como una paradoja: el último visitante oficial que recibió el papa fue el vicepresidente de Donald Trump, JD Vance, él mismo un converso al catolicismo, pero practicante de una fe católica muy diferente a la del papa.

"What a sad reflection that the Republican Party has moved from Abraham Lincoln, who

"While immigrants by now are accustomed to being the tip of the spear in the GOP’s arsenal of attacks, let's be clear-eyed that the threat now is beyond harming immigrant communities or calling attention to the border. This is about using this issue as a tool to further Trump’s political ambitions, even if that means suppressing the right to vote, undermining our election results, or stoking more political violence".

APTOPIX Election 2024 Trump

How Trump's relentless anti-immigrant focus is tied to his threats to democracy 

"This month comes at a special moment in our nation’s history. For the first time, we have more Latinos serving in Congress than ever before. In the Senate, the Democratic Majority has confirmed a historic number of Latino judicial nominees and recently confirmed the first Latina to serve on the Federal Reserve in the Board’s 109-year history".

Daniel Ortega stole the house where he lives, stole the citizenship of hundreds of political prisoners and stole the democracy that cost Nicaraguans so much work and so many deaths. But don't count Nicaragua out. It's a country that knows how to drive out dictators.

Maximum pressure failed in Venezuela. For as untrustworthy and criminally depraved as the Maduro government may be, absent the use of U.S. military power to effect regime change, continued international pressure to get the government and the opposition to a negotiating table is the only recourse the international community has, if it wants to address the devastating humanitarian crisis Maduro and Co. have wrought.

No matter what way the data is sliced and diced, Latinas working in every sector and in every industry, regardless of education level, are being paid dramatically less than their white male counterparts. 54 cents to the dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic male workers was the average for all Latinas with reported earnings in 2021".
