A really cool story on Chile and the power of fungi in the fight against climate change. Also notable: the Chilean ecologist involved is the daughter of anti-Pinochet activists (including one who wrote a great book on the UP & Chilean Communist Party). nytimes.com/interactive/20…

#OnThisDay in 1976, agents of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet detonated a car bomb that killed our IPS colleagues Orlando Letelier and Ronni Karpen Moffitt in Sheridan Circle in Washington, D.C. Today and every day, we honor their memories and the legacies they left behind. 🕊️

As the 50th anniversary of the 1973 #Chile coup approaches, Evgeny Morozov (evgenymorozov.bsky.social) reconstructs a fascinating and little known history in “The Santiago Boys.” It was a pleasure to offer a few comments throughout on Allende’s vision for change.
