This was the cover of @reforma, one of the main dailies in Mexico, today. It included a huge, uncensored picture of the bodies of the migrants who died in a fire at an immigration detention center in Juarez. I think it speaks to how migrants are dehumanized in this hemisphere.

This has been a hard week at @npr not least because it is losing legendary international reporters. @spoggioli1 and @deborahamos who paved the way for those of us who followed in their intrepid and knowledgeable footsteps. 🫡 I will miss your voices on air.

The longest-serving correspondent on @npr's international desk hangs up her headphones. Sylvia Poggioli represents everything great in broadcast journalism. What a career, what an inspiration. @npr will not be the same without her

Hard to know where to start to say how much Sylvia Poggioli will be missed @npr. Thank you for 41 years bringing us the news from Italy & the world beyond! npr.org/sections/npr-extra/2…

#Nicaragua es lo que soy y todo lo que tengo, y que nunca voy a dejar de ser, ni dejar de tener, mi memoria y mis recuerdos, mi lengua y mi escritura, mi lucha por su libertad por la que he empeñado mi palabra. Mientras más Nicaragua me quitan, más Nicaragua tengo.

y te amo patria de mis sueños y mis penas
y te llevo conmigo para lavarte las manchas en secreto
susurrarte esperanzas
y prometerte curas y encantos que te salven.
