El texto de Shabot no contribuye nada que no se haya dicho desde (casi) el principio. Al contrario, no dialoga con ninguno de los argumentos más importantes del otro lado. Y, más bien, enfocándose en lo semántico evita confrontar lo verdaderamente incómodo. hilo... 1/n
Preciso, documentado, valiente, este texto revela la verdad incómoda sobre la guerra de Gaza: con toda lo dolorosa que fue, no fue un genocidio. Mi reconocimiento al autor y a la revista @nexosmexico

El genocidio es un tipo penal. Como cualquier otro tiene elementos que se tienen que comprobar, en este caso que la *intención* de Israel fue "destruir, total o parcialmente" a los palestinos. La diferencia de opinión fundamentalmente radica en si esta fue la intención. 2/n

After years living in the US being frustrated by the use of farenheit/imperial system, I’ve reached a point of synthesis where we use the system that best fits the circumstance: Cold temps: C Hot temps: F Weight gain: kg Weight loss: lbs Speed/distance: km Song lyrics: miles

I wouldn't call myself prominent if the main reason people knew me was because I can't stop writing about something in which I am wrong.

I thought I'd never write a constitutional law paper but here we are. New paper coming out in 2027 in the Denver Law Review arguing that at least some third country removals are unconstitutional.

While this piece is useful it also evinces a fundamental misunderstanding of the CJNG and the changing nature of organized crime in Mexico that makes it a much harder challenge than even this article (which already paints a complicated picture) recognizes
Check out my piece on the death of El Mencho, what it means for Mexico's broader campaign against the cartels and why the kingpin's demise will have a short shelf-life for Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.

The article still talks about the cartels as "narcotrafficking" organizations, the implication being that the main problem is US and european drug demand. Now this is obviously true, but it's no longer the case that this is what the cartels are or how they're growing...

The “no corruption” part is the tell. Not even the president herself would say this.
I’m in Mexico City right now and everyone loves the government. 3 separate taxi drivers have told me it’s the best government in the world. No corruption and takes care of the people and the infrastructure. Never seen anything like this.

Three things: A) this has got to be one of the dumbest things I’ve heard in my life. B) even if true, it’s irrelevant. You can’t say policy outcome your way around the constitution. C) it really is the dumbest thing in a case that has attracted very dumb things.
.@JoshuaSteinman has submitted a national security-related amicus brief in the pending birthright citizenship case before SCOTUS. This is a critical angle that has gone largely ignored in discussion of the case. He writes in part: "With a round-trip plane ticket, a malign actor can send an expecting mother to the United States, receive mother and baby on return, indoctrinate and train the child, and then send the individual back to the United States to engage in espionage activity. That mechanism, for instance, stymies major advances in digital surveillance and biometric technologies that make it harder for undercover agents to remain anonymous and operate in the target country under a false identity." "...Thus, with an extremely modest financial investment and the passage of time, a foreign adversary can use geographically derived birthright citizenship to create a nearly undetectable human intelligence asset with no bonds of affection for his country of birth and carte blanche access to the United States. And as the example of Russia’s 'Illegals Program' shows, malign foreign actors are perfectly willing to make such long-term plays."

The question you gotta ask about the guys who always bring novel interpretations of the constitution to the table to support some insane policy is whether they ever admit the constitution just isn’t on their side.
