From @TheAthletic: For the first time in the 20-year history of the World Baseball Classic, Venezuela can call itself the champions of the baseball world. They beat the greatest collection of American baseball players ever assembled. nyti.ms/40DrjoK

How can Venezuela's opposition regain its relevance, at a time when President Trump is lavishing Delcy Rodriguez with praise and advising MCM against returning to Caracas? Interesting piece on the internal debate via @omarlugo americasquarterly.org/article/how-ca…

@Tra80986067 “Violence can never be justified by economic inequality or deficiencies in education, healthcare or access to justice. Life must always be defended in the face of death and terror.”

While in Lima last week I visited its oceanfront museum revisiting Peru's political violence from 1980-2000. This history gets vastly less international attention than Argentina, Brazil or Chile, even though estimated death toll was 34,000+ people -- roughly 10X that of Pinochet era. Maybe because the narratives are complex; the hard-left Shining Path was responsible for at least half the deaths, while state security forces also killed many. The so-called "Place of Memory, Tolerance and Social Inclusion" -- a notably vague name that reflects today's enduring sensitivities -- seemed balanced where appropriate while correctly laying most blame for atrocities at feet of the guerrillas. A hallway symbolizing the migration of millions who fled violence, with Quechua and Spanish phrases ("Huimos solo llevando nuestras vidas") was universally affecting at a time when record numbers in Latin America are on the move. Worth a visit.

In my latest piece in Americas Quarterly, co-authored with @jcpueblita, we argue that as U.S.–China geoeconomic competition intensifies, Mexico needs a clearer strategy: alignment with Washington without losing policy autonomy. Read more 👇🏻 americasquarterly.org/article/mexico…

On March 16, COA was honored to host a private-virtual event with @AlvaroUribeVel, former president of Colombia. He spoke with AS/COA's @BrazilBrian about the upcoming electoral cycle and the state of Colombia's bilateral relationship with the United States.

Before Oscars begin, a word about THE SECRET AGENT. I’m not sure foreign audiences realize how incredibly and gloriously BRAZILIAN it is: The yellow Fusca (VW Beetle), Maria Aparecida dos Santos, the capybaras, “Gente pobre o gente fina?” and the omnipresent class divide throughout, the bureaucratic obsession with mother and father’s names (The latter always easier!), the beautiful role of Carnaval and - finally - what for me was the film’s final takeaway: How life in such a beautiful, funny and *human* country is so often interrupted by banal violence. Often at the hands of the state, often just dumb awful Anyway I am happy other gringos are connecting with the film even if they don’t understand every nuance — and of course I hope it sweeps the whole thing. Viva!
