Only @MariaBelen_Fdez can tackle Thomas Friedman's racist genocidal antics with the perfect level of rigor and humour aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/…
I was deeply touched this morning by @MariaBelen_Fdez article. It also reminded me of the movie by the same title starring Tommy Lee Jones. Read it. @tommyleejones00
Honored to be quoted by the great @MariaBelen_Fdez who points out for @AJEnglish how Israel has actively supported genocidal violence before—but now on a greater scale in #Gaza
My latest for Al Jazeera: "Israel is taking scorched earth policy to a new level" aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/… @AJEnglish
A twelve year old girl from the US read the names of just a few of the 12-year olds murdered by Israel in Gaza with US $$$. As long as he doesn’t call for a #CeasefireForGazaNOW, @SenJeffMerkley is complicit in their deaths. #StopArmingIsrael @USCPR_
A day in the life of the American dream aje.io/wfe351 from @MariaBelen_Fdez
my article on passport privilege, border violence, and migrant detention in México. Fernández’s astute new book “Inside Siglo XXI” returns the journalistic gaze to the privileged and mobile, showing how certain foreigners in México are desired while others are marked for death.
“Flaunting her US passport and journalistic privilege … didn’t stop her from getting incarcerated. She was sent to Mexico’s largest immigration detention center.” New at PB: @alex_voisine reviews Belén Fernández's new book, “Inside Siglo XXI.” buff.ly/3RaPaIT
@thetorps @MariaBelen_Fdez @AJEnglish reading everything @MariaBelen_Fdez has ever written is a very good plan! Highly recommend.

"“the whites were free to amass wealth without opposition” while slaves were “personal property and a movable asset” – a state of affairs that had prompted the Surinamese to come up with a proverb: “The cockroach cannot assert its rights in the bird’s beak.”"

"El Salvador: A nation under hypnosis After a year of President Bukele’s state of emergency, a ‘new reality’ is settling into the country." Brilliant reporting from @MariaBelen_Fdez aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/…
“Just the other day in downtown San Salvador, I was accosted by a policeman and threatened with five years in prison for having taken a photograph of an apparently inebriated woman who had just been smacked by a private security guard”.
Today marks the one-year anniversary of Nayib Bukele's beloved state of emergency here in El Salvador. Some 66,000 people have been thrown in jail - and there's no end in sight. My latest for Al Jazeera: "El Salvador: A nation under hypnosis" aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/… @AJEnglish
@MariaBelen_Fdez on a journey that went about as wrong as possible. I reviewed it for @jacobin: read this wonderful book @orbooks!
many thanks to Liza Featherstone for this amazing review of my book INSIDE SIGLO XXI: jacobin.com/2023/03/belen-… @lfeatherz @orbooks @jacobin

According to M. Twain, "travel was an antidote to “self-conceited” attitudes – a cure for 'prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness'. But in this day and age, travel ... would appear to be nothing more than an exercise in self-conceit." -@MariaBelen_Fdez aljazeera.com/opinions/2023/…
"I had heard of Siglo XXI, a facility listed on the website of the Geneva-based GDP as having “inadequate conditions”: access to clean drinking water, showers & toilets, cell space, food provision, hygiene, medical care, overcrowding and protection from physical injury."
Al Jazeera has published an excerpt of my new book INSIDE SIGLO XXI: LOCKED UP IN MEXICO'S LARGEST IMMIGRATION DETENTION CENTER aljazeera.com/features/2023/… @AJEnglish @orbooks
