Is it a human rights violation to deport #HaitianTPS holders to a cauldron of gang violence? Our @WLRN report.wlrn.org/immigration/20…

@MJ_Busta Smart observaitions, Michael, thanks.

2 takeaways in this piece: 1. Prominent Cuban-American aligned w WH downplays military intervention. Make of that what you will. 2. Also suggests US goal is "elevating" Cuban govt leaders to "bring about regime change." Suggesting change from within state used to be kryptonite.

Trump's anti-immigrant crusade is morphing America into Mexico. And that's the whole point. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

Did a Mexican tourist run to his death in Florida this month because he feared U.S. immigration enforcement has become - by design - as predatory as law enforcement back in Mexico? My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

Filthy rich fútbol: Why #Argentina represents what we love (Messi) and hate about soccer today. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

Argentina used Messi marketing to make its soccer association perhaps the world's richest today - but in the process it's become an FBI-targeted poster child for what's wrong with the sport. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

The Donrownership Doctrine: Trump shares Venezuela's earthquake failure with its regime. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

Because President Trump insists he "runs" #Venezuela today, he shares in its regime's abysmal response to last month's earthquakes - and bears the onus for the country's reconstruction. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

Venezuelans apply the social media savvy that pushed democracy in 2024 to a disaster in 2026. Our @WLRN report.wlrn.org/americas/2026-…

Pay to play: U.S. youth soccer has an access problem. Can the World Cup help? Our @WLRN report.wlrn.org/sports/2026-06…

From soccer to Saab, Cape Verde's grannies raise heroic goalkeepers - and a 'model' government. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

Cape Verde's stunning draw with Spain in the World Cup is a reminder of how the country stood firm five years ago in the extradition of alleged Venezuelan corruption mastermind Alex Saab. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

Is Trump still mulling military action in Cuba? Maybe a 'humanitarian invasion'? Only he knows. Our @WLRN report.wlrn.org/americas/2026-…

The World Cup can save soccer's soul by exalting Josué St. Vilus - not five-figure ticket prices. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…

The World Cup should dedicate #Haiti's opening game to a Port-au-Prince boy who embraced soccer - the game, not the greed - as sanctuary from the gangs that killed him last month. My @WLRN commentary.wlrn.org/commentary/202…
