Steven Levitsky has spent his career studying dictatorships. He helped push Harvard to take a stand against Trump. https://t.co/FTjRbJjKlw

Mexico, where maize was born some 9,000 years ago, has amended its constitution to ban the planting of genetically modified (American) corn. https://t.co/vkWnTFYeHx

This quote is wild. The top DEA official in Mexico tells us the U.S. hopes cartels will stop producing fentanyl ... and return to making other drugs: "cocaine and methamphetamines and a little bit of heroin.” https://t.co/v5Yw1QhGRk https://t.co/LtlPBZfPST

Top DEA agent in Mexico says recent drone flights here and the designation of cartels as "terrorist organizations" may be setting the stage for U.S. strikes. w/ @mawilner and @PmcdonnellLAT https://t.co/v5Yw1QhGRk

Six weeks after taking office, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum is contending with a nationwide wave of violence, and is facing increasingly urgent questions about what she plans to do about it. https://t.co/0jxlXlLKVH

A growing number of undocumented migrants are hitting retirement age. Many are struggling. A survey of seniors from Mexico by @NDLON found 70% are still working — compared with 19% of U.S. senior citizens. https://t.co/0HSem4aNC0

RT @markzbarabak: How Trump tariff threats might plunge Mexico into recession and stoke immigration @katelinthicum https://t.co/XdwBwgNc…

I wrote about Trump's tariff threats and what they could mean for Mexico, where imports and exports amount to 90% of the economy. Many believe new taxes would trigger more unemployment, poverty -- and eventually more migration to the United States. https://t.co/VpAFbL6Z2q

This is an incredibly important week for Mexico. The Senate will vote on a radical constitutional change to completely reshape the judiciary. I looked at why AMLO is pushing this now -- and what it means for Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum and AMLO's legacy. https://t.co/aIL06jtVm5

I've long admired @Oswaldo__Zavala, who argues for a bold reframing of how we talk about organized crime in Mexico. For this q&a, we spoke about the failed "kingpin" strategy and how the myth of an all-powerful narco bogeyman helps justify militarization https://t.co/s0cv2wJLtr
