New Argentine president Javier Milei’s rhetoric may be distinct, but his economic dogma, originally conceived in and spread by the U.S., has a long history of diverting resources from the many to the few. Final chapter of Dark Legacy:

The Argentine puna, home to many indigenous villages and towns who have long lived in harmony with nature. Now, the region’s fragile ecosystem — and those who rely on it — are being upended by the influx of lithium production. My story for @theprogressive coming soon.

After Iris Avellaneda was kidnapped, her 15-yr old son killed by Argentina’s last dictatorship, she spent the rest of her life with 1 goal: send the guilty to prison & keep them there. Her fight has lasted 45 years & counting. My story for @theprogressive
