- I wrote for @Harpers about who might actually be behind the more than 100,000 killings and disappearances in Mexico since 2006 via a review of two books: @oswaldo__zavala "Drug Cartels Do Not Exist" & @benjamintsmith7 "The Dope"

- You may have heard about the Yale student trying to stop his mom’s deportation to Honduras while recovering from from stage IV cancer. Yesterday I sat down with Cristian and talked about his family and why ICE won’t give proper medical accommodations.
