Even if we decide to ignore all the people who were here already (big if) I can still stare in Colonial Latin Americanist, from Spanish Florida and New Mexico, and tell you this is trash.

America wasn’t just a Christian nation at its founding—it was a Protestant nation.
May we be thankful for the reformation and all the freedom & prosperity it brought to the western world this thanksgiving. 🦃

This international colloquium on state violence, featuring world-renowned scholars, was just cancelled at the last minute by the sponsoring federal agency because, @sergioaguayo was told, it featured ‘enemies of the government.’ What the hell is this, @SEGOB_mx?

Across Colombia, kidnappings have increased more than 80% under leftwing president Gustavo Petro, extortion is up 27% and the murder rate has barely fallen.
Why is the country’s ‘total peace’ plan unravelling? on.ft.com/47s70w0

Sure, let’s fill Madrid with Napoleonic troops! Because last time they did it they left such a good impression! There is actually a painting in that museum that reflects that moment… Who is in charge of the promotion of this nonsense?

Ha ganado la extrema derecha en Argentina; es la decisión de su sociedad. Triste para América Latina y ya veremos... el neoliberalismo ya no tiene propuesta para la sociedad, no puede responder a los problemas actuales de la humanidad.

Quiero extender mi felicitación a @JMilei quien se convierte hoy en el nuevo presidente de la Argentina. Hoy triunfó la Democracia y se venció el populismo, la demagogia y al Grupo de Puebla.

Remember: every time you go to Spain to do tourism and have fun, you are never further than 100 kilometers from an unmarked mass grave like this one.

Ridley Scott on historians having criticisms about ‘NAPOLEON’.
“When I have issues with historians, I ask: ‘Excuse me, mate, were you there? No? Well, shut the fuck up then.’”
