Phillipe and Jorge have lived through plenty of what seemed to be scary moments in our own presidency, […]
A few months ago, a friend of mine was killed by government policy. This may seem an extreme claim, but my friend was attending a house party, like those which happen all the time. Someone offered him cannabis, and he accepted. Laced with fentanyl, it killed him. Fentanyl is a dangerous opioid and the main […]

What happens if the US Supreme Court overturns the half-century of precedent on abortion? I discussed that in some detail three years ago (“News Analysis: What Happens if Roe v.
