This is what happens when the Overton Window is drawn toward the right-wing and the unapologetically vulgar.

This has been happening for a long time. (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-immigration-children/waves-of-immigrant-minors-present-crisis-for-obama-congress-idUSKBN0E814T20140528).

Thank you so much for this article, Mr. Ramos.

We could have tied this to Yale’s neocolonialism years ago: https://www.buzzfeed.com/katiejmbaker/yale-ethics-professor but #metoo wasn’t a thing then, I guess.

That system protected Thomas Pogge, my perp, for years. Nothing about these people astounds me anymore: https://www.buzzfeed.com/katiejmbaker/yale-ethics-professor

While I agree with the - don’t blame the messenger (the cops), but the message (the Yale graduate student) - I would remind everyone that there is an ambience fostering severe racial inequity in New Haven, and that Yale University has deliberately fostered the town-and-gown “rivalry” since time immemorial. This is not…

The fact that there is a Yale University police exists, despite and against the prerogative of federal legislation (why is it not the NHPD that is covering this issue...take a guess, just one) is a revealing and terrible aspect of this debacle, but so is various sectors of the world’s refusal to acknowledge the…

I don’t understand the hate. Is this because I’m a LatinX looking at the racial dynamics in ‘Merica as a mestiza (LatinX and Jewish) with an appreciation to the region’s fusion of cultures, or because I’m interested in how this video accurately portrays the US’s obsession with guns as not only an internal, but very…

I know - I guess what I’m getting at is Daniel Ortega as revolutionary darling of the 1980s fighting the Contras had become corrupted by the early aughts, and especially around 2006. My guess is that the deep but transient bitterness that comes when an overthrowal fails became a permanent thing for him. The students…

They did in the ‘80s, but the Ortega of that epoch was nothing like the man elected to serve in 2001.

Mr. Ramos, I appreciate your coverage of the Trump administration vis-a-vis Latin America tremendously and now this article. However, I feel that it is incumbent upon me to ask - why you never thought to write a thinkpiece for the revolt against despotic leader, Juan Orlando Hernandez in November 2017, when he not…

Right - I think because they’re so incapable of self-restraint and seem like they’re constantly on the precipice of an aneurism when challenged, that they think this will make the Left implode. It would be funny if the right weren’t actively hurting so many communities in the process.

A la orden, mi estimada!

To them, Oliver North was just helping Ronald Reagan keep the money flowing the Central American Northern Triangle in an effort to fight the “Commies.” Aiding and abetting Efrain Rios Montt’s genocide in Guatemala, the killing of clergy-men and the fanning of a civil war in El Salvador, and funding Juan Ramon Matta…

If you speak Spanish, there’s a pretty great video about how the US has been doing this pre-Trump for years. It’s Mexico’s version of Jon Stewart, and it made me look at Obama in a new light:

They do - just last week 11 asylum-seekers were detained http://www.ntd.tv/2018/05/01/11-people-in-migrant-caravan-arrested-at-border/.

You shouldn’t apologize for the violent imagery - it is for us Hondurans a daily reality. I’m exhausted of having to sanitize the very real violence that is happening to Honduras in order to not make Americans defensive about the US government’s role in enabling not one, but two coups (first the 2009 coup, and later…
