If anything, the new Latin American right is modeling itself on Trump and his culture war mobilization significantly more then Trump is imitating the region’s old-right strongmen.

The irony is that Israel spent the better part of the past 5 decades arming the most murderous & genocidal regimes throughout Latin America. https://t.co/7COW1O6fhu

American Landmark owns roughly 34,000 housing units across the US. Rent increases and tenant displacement are key to its business model. Its parent company is one of Israel's biggest employers, and has touted its ties to the IDF even during the genocide.

I used to live directly across the street from this - and this is the second giant commercial fire in this part of Baltimore this week (as well as down the block from a set of rowhomes destroyed by fire & then re-burned by an arsonist last year). So scary.

apropos of nothing, here’s a photo of a young chuck schumer attending trump lawyer & confidante (& joe mccarthy associate) roy cohn’s birthday party at studio 54, in 1979

Fully fund CUNY, carajo!

“Just two Republicans broke ranks to oppose Trump. The 49-51 vote is the second failed bid in a month to rein in the U.S. military campaign against suspected drug-trafficking vessels in Latin America that has led to the deaths of nearly 70 people.”

Postdoc alert at the Warren Ctr at Harvard: "We are interested in applications in Global American Studies which relate to the nation’s life during or as a consequence of war, and/or concern the history & promotion of ideas and practices of social justice."

Actually if you want to play this game it was built by Dutch fur traders. Sustainable and mass settlement did not really start in earnest until the English took over, which coincided with an explosion in slave ownership… so… you’re probably not gonna like where this is going…

After all was said and done, Zohran’s best racial group ended up being…Black voters

“War on drugs”

I told @bradlander on the train last week that if Zohran won we should all get this shirt - you love to see it!

More than $8 million from Mike Bloomberg. $3 million from Airbnb's co-founder. $3 million from the Estée Lauder family. $2 million from @BillAckman. $1 million from DoorDash. $200K from Walmart's heiress. Zohran didn't just beat Andrew Cuomo. He beat the elite.
