"America, América" by @GregGrandin already was one of the best history books about the region. Now it is also an urgent one. I wrote about that and discussed the idea of Latin America and its "immanent critique" to the U.S. "Thirty Yards from Revolution" www.theideasletter.org/essay/thirty...

The US has already killed more people in their military strikes against civilian boats in Latin America during the last two months (83, almost all civilians) than during the entire Grenada Invasion of 1983 (69 Grenadian and Cuban fighters).

On Tuesday, Norway “paused” the work of the ethics council of its sovereign wealth fund, so it can keep its cozy relationship w/ Israel & big tech. For those interested, Ecozon@ just published what I wrote on Norwegian identity and it’s entanglement with oil&extractivism. ecozona.eu/article/view...

Scott Bessent (and Summers before him) sees that the battle for the U.S. soul is in Latin America, between their liberal allies and even the most modesta ttempts for empathy and social reform. Banks and carriers, or welfare and joy. He got the song wrong, but the clash right.

Capybaras roamed free until the 1980s. Developers built gated communities and expelled them. They came back. An Argentine billionaire, also developer, promotes their sterilization--with a drug designed for male pigs before they're slaughter, so they taste better. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/w...
