- We await you. We’ve got wine and stuff over here.
- Lovely post about a human rights hero, a democracy hero, a man who made public service - even in the realm of politics - noble instead of toxic and power-grabbing. Model for us all, Q.E.P.D. Pepe #Mujica
- Pepe Mújica has died, not unexpectedly, at age 89. A couple of years ago I had the chance to visit his famous little farm and listen to him reflect on life for a couple of hours www.bbc.com/news/article...
- Also a chingón, working-class hero!
- I finally managed to write up my thoughts on the CECOT, and other, disappearances. I put a lot into this, please read and share. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/how-...
- Another version of the same story… nsarchive.gwu.edu/news/2025-05...
- Everything you want to know about authoritarian immigration actions but were afraid to ask…

- Obviously
- On April 30, @nsarchive.bsky.social and @wola-org.bsky.social co-hosted a seminar with 3 Latin American experts to learn from their experiences with #EnforcedDisappearance. A fantastic convo ensued - archived here. 👇 nsarchive.gwu.edu/news/2025-05...
- Archives. The gift that keeps on giving. www.reuters.com/world/americ...
- This is obviously thinly-veiled racism. But it’s also a bullshit premise. Haitian refugees were thriving in Springfield. Bhutanese, Congolese, other refugees from Africa & Asia have reinvigorated Rust Belt towns and cities. Trump wants to send them all back.
- Just straight-up racism. No veils involved.

- They disappeared another mother today.

- Cowards
- This is nuts. What’s next, immigrants shipped to Sudan? North Korea? Kashmir? www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
- Welcome to Trump’s black sites: hundreds of migrants forcibly sent to El Salvador, Panama, Costa Rica - now Libya? Next Rwanda? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...
- Message from the kid's daycarein DC. I don't think I can ever forgive the people who support this. cc: @dcmigrantmutualaid.org @marisakabas.bsky.social
- Heartbreaking. They were crawling all over DC today. 🪳
- University = 0 Students = 1,000,000,000,000
- If you all haven’t yet heard the *Pulitzer Prize winning!!* audio investigation of the US military’s massacre of civilians in Haditha, Iraq, you have an incredible podcast experience ahead of you. Trigger warnings all round… but this is utterly brilliant reporting. www.newyorker.com/season-3
- “It’s a death realm. The realm of the devil.” Powerful reporting and photos on the hidden world of El Salvador’s prisons. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/w...
- Bukele is a dangerous clown who has ruined his country’s hope for democracy. Nevertheless, the US State Dept certifies that his government is strengthening the rule of law, improving transparency and protecting human rights defenders and journalists. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/04/o...
- This is terrible, horrible, no good, very bad news. The State Department’s Foreign Relations of the United States declassified documents series is a treasure and HAC was its heart and soul.
- Unhappy to confirm that the entire Historical Advisory Committee at the State Department received termination notices this afternoon (myself included). The HAC, set up by Congress, oversees the office that produces the FRUS series. history.state.gov/about/hac/in... 1/
- Fierce words from Becca Balint! “Due process is not some pie in the sky idea, it’s literally what holds our country together. Without due process, we are not Americans!”
- This is an amazing and important resource. Disappearing people is not “immigration policy.” It’s government repression.
- 🚨 NEW: We just launched Disappeared in America — a living archive of the people swept up in Trump’s mass deportation dragnet in just 100 days. From cancer patients to U.S. citizens, no one is safe. 📲 Share the site + stories: disappearedinamerica.com
- How does Bukele win (rightwing) friends and influence people? Typically deep, thoughtful of Trump’s bestie by the indomitable @carlosdada.bsky.social
- “We want to play well in the sandbox,” explained the fascist collaborators. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
- People are hungry for tools to fight the kidnapping, rendition and disappearance of immigrants in the US. So far, *720* people have registered for our online teach-in. Join us. @nsarchive.bsky.social @wola-org.bsky.social nsarchive.gwu.edu/news/2025-04...

- Yep. It will archived on YouTube afterwards. If you can’t find, go the National Security Archive’s home page, we’ll have the link there.
- Trump’s assault on immigrants is looking more and more like a homegrown dirty war. Alarmed? Scared? Searching for strategies to fight back? Join us live Wednesday April 30 at 2-3:30pm EDT for a discussion with these amazing LatAm experts, who’ve got stuff to teach us.
- Co-sponsored by @nsarchive.bsky.social and @wola-org.bsky.social
- The Archive will be moderating a teach-in on April 30 with 3 Latin American experts who have deep experience working on forced disappearance. They have a lot to tell US citizens who are seeing this happen here at home for the first time. Details soon. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...
- With four Democrats following @vanhollen.senate.gov’s visit to demand the release of Abrego, this excellent reflection on the state of things deserves a repost. www.thehandbasket.co/p/selfies-ce...
- “Photos like this are only possible when you’ve become so divorced from the humanity of others that they become nothing more than props in your political ploy.”
- Clarity
- “I write this letter as the sun rises, hoping that the suspension of my rights will raise alarm bells that yours are already in jeopardy. [...] I hope it will shake you into acting before it is too late.”
- Gotta post my honey’s first review for The Mission!! Pub Weekly calls @tim-weiner.bsky.social‘s forthcoming book “a crucial document of these times.” If you’re intrigued, pre-order now and see for yourself! www.publishersweekly.com/9780063270183
- Honored to translate this poem by @giocondabelli.bsky.social —someone who knows a thing or two about dictators and how to treat them—on the seventh anniversary of the April 18 uprising in Nicaragua.
- Do not accept committing acts of cruelty in the name of the Fatherland El Faro English publishes this poem by Gioconda Belli on the seventh anniversary of the start of the mass uprising in Nicaragua. elfaro.net/en/202505/op...
- Gorgeous Max! Thank you for posting
- No longer deemed human rights by Rubio’s State Dept: -Violence against LGBT+ community -Violence against people w disabilities -Female genital mutilation -Freedom of expression -Attacks on privacy -Restrictions on internet access www.npr.org/2025/04/18/n...
- A draft version of the document deletes the section "Corruption in Government" from the Hungary report and a section on prison conditions from El Salvador. "It sends the message to the perpetrators that this is not important for [the US] anymore," said an expert from Hungary Helsinki Committee.
- Shocking and shameful. H/t @colombiadocs.bsky.social

- Forced disappearance. "Human Rights Watch said there is no official list of those detained, and relatives have not received responses to requests for information on their location from Salvadoran and U.S. authorities."

- Forced disappearance
- This is happening everywhere all at once - but yesterday it happened in New Bedford, MA. We need to hear from @keating.house.gov, @warren.senate.gov, and @markey.senate.gov - say his name! Juan Francisco Méndez has been abducted. newbedfordlight.org/lawyer-feder...
- I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.
- This is excellent. Other members of Congress whose residents have been detained should join and make this a delegation. Make it impossible to ignore!

- Repeat after us, unions: no Cuomo, no Adams
- At @nsarchive.bsky.social, we’ve documented forced disappearance in Guatemala in the 1980s. Argentina during the Dirty War. Chile under Pinochet. In those days, the US was complicit thru decades of military and intelligence doctrine and aid. Today US security forces are the perpetrators.
