It has the feeling of a ghastly ending, one pushed along by desperation and eagerness.

Homo Sapiens have been migrating for at least 70,000 years. We are a migratory species.

We are adept at moving. Nearly every 
"Love it or leave it" was a slogan used by those in favor of the Vietnam War challenging those protesting.

In the wake of Donald Trump's anti-environmental "Drill baby, drill" stance, now may not seem the time to champion a greener future, but we have no choice if we want the earth to remain habitable. Across the globe, the politics of oil continues causing conflict, millions of people die each year from pollution, while rising global temperatures devastate more and more communities. Perhaps we can look to Trump himself for the solution after he noted in his January 20 inaugural speech, "Sunlight is pouring over the entire world." Yes, it is — 170 petajoules every second. More than enough to power the future. 
Anyone who wants to put America first needs to start by putting the Constitution first. This should be non-negotiable. Winning an election does not give President Trump—or any politician—the authority to sidestep the Constitution and remake the government at will. That's not how a constitutional republic works, even in pursuit of the so-called greater good. 
In a little more than one month, President Trump has taken a series of economic actions that could have a huge impact on the global South.Tariffs have commanded the most attention, but his activism has taken other forms as well — a deepening of export and investment control regimes, cutbacks in aid, and measures that could hit global financial stability. Beyond these, policy shifts in Washington also influence other countries through two key variables in global financial markets. These are the levels of the dollar and of U.S. interest rates, arguably the most important prices in the world.The headlines…

Deporting immigrants may deliver electoral wins to politicians if voters have been sufficiently cultivated by years of demonizing and scapegoating them. For its victims, the cruelties involved are horrific. Yet such deportation makes little sense economically. It represents a nationally self-destructive program based on a faulty grasp of immigration economics. What once "made America great" (at least for the majority white population) were its successive waves of immigrants. What underscored the American economy's strength was its ability to absorb and integrate those waves despite frictions among them: a genuine…

Or perhaps it was because she represented hope; at least that's what her father, José, told me a week ago during my interview with him at the Casa de la Misericordia y de Todas las Naciones, located in Nogales, Sonora. Since 2020, the Casa has housed asylum s…
