el mero mero @_g_c_m_ will be passing through campus this coming friday 5/22 to discuss venezuela, the history of its democratic process, and the reality of imperialism in latin america today
Thrilled to head to @dartmouthcollege with @omnionn and @infrapolitics on May 20 to talk journalism, Central America, and the United States!
We'll be projecting "ICE is here!", first released at last year's Central American Journalism Forum @forocap_ in Antigua Guatemala.
This photo concert, set to music by @Omnionn , looks at a prolonged new kristallnacht in the United States. Nine photographers reveal how the persecution of immigrants is unfolding during the Trump era.
We also released it in El Faro English @elfaronet last year.
¡Nos vemos!
forgot to share my recent piece on the kilmar saga in the latest issue of the journal of latin american cultural studies focused on 'the new right and latin america.' really happy with this one--and also just learned that the article received an honorable mention for the journal's 2025 article prize! good start to the week! the piece is open access too! link is in my bio.
thank you for the opportunity to reflect on el salvador 1932 in the context of the un permanent forum on indigenous issues alongside esteemed scholars, artists, and legends like acoma elder petuuche gilbert! am so bummed i couldn’t make it down to @clacls_gc@thegraduatecenter in person!
excited to be in community with @_vavaboom , her students, and the good folks at wesleyan to talk about the relevance of romero for anti-authoritarian struggle in el salvador today
While the White House spreads violence, hatred, and white supremacy across the US by shutting borders and escalating detentions and deportations, all while creating humanitarian crises through blockades, wars, and imperial aggression across the world, we gathered in community over good food to talk about how the movements for climate justice and migrant justice are inextricably tied.
Muchísimas gracias to Professor Cuéllar for the inspiring talk and to the terrific community cooks for the delicious foods.
we cooked 💅🏼 @infrapolitics
First academic article, co-written w Prof Jorge Cuéllar, is freshly published on eScholarship!!! We examined the usage of the Salvadoran criminal legal system as a mechanism for executive overreach targeting environmental defenders, specifically, the Santa Marta 5.
Link in bio to read!!!
Check out our website for the statement on the final ruling where the Santa Marta 5 water defenders are found innocent for a second time. Santa Marta community was the massacred by the US backed military dictatorship during El Salvador’s armed conflict and while the perpetrators of those atrocities remain in impunity, the Bukele government has instead insisted on using the courts to politically persecute leaders of the community.
The community celebrates the reaffirmation of innocence and warns that this is not the end of political persecution against land defenders and historic communities.
This conference at Yale in April is gonna be so 🔥!!! Hosted by the OG Greg Grandin & featuring some of the most amazing comrades out there — don’t miss it!
