Kanye and Candice Owens wear WLM shirts. Robert Reagan tells his daughters to lay back and enjoy rape. Yesli Vega says women can't get pregnant during rape because the sex isn't organic.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Nancy Pelosi's January 6 committee failed miserably. It found not a shred of evidence tying Donald Trump to any kind of "insurrection" or violent attack on the Capitol Building, despite all the emails, texts, witnesses, and, most of all, the complete control of the entire apparatus and narrative without any opposition. The show-trial hearings proved nothing. Then, Muslim parents continue to be enraged by the hyper-sexualization of school children. America's children are on the ballot and the pornography industry is taking over their classrooms. Later, critics are calling for the Ben Shapiro of the Daily Wire to fire Candace Owens because of her friendship with Kanye West in response to his grotesque comments about Jews. Conservatives must be secure in their views and don't need to hitch themselves to figures in popular culture. Afterward, Congressional candidate Yesli Vega joins the show to discuss why Rep. Abigail Spanberger must be defeated for her tax and spend policies and support for radical gender teaching in public schools and laws that allow the prosecution of parents who disagree with a school's woke agenda. Finally, US Senate candidate from Alaska, Kelly Tshibaka, calls in with an update on her race against Sen. Lisa Murkowski who is oftentimes the deciding vote for the Democrats even though she claims to be a Republican. Tshibaka says that shared American values are on the ballot and Alaskans must rally against Sen. Mitch McConnell's choice in this election.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Elections are less than a month away and races across the region are heating up. Tune in for this week's Politics Hour as we welcome: Congressman Anthony Brown (D-MD) currently represents Maryland's 4th congressional district, but last year announced he would not seek another term. Instead, he's running for Maryland Attorney General. Brown is widely seen as the favorite to win the post, as he's up against far-right attorney Michael Peroutka in deep-blue Maryland. Peroutka --- who joined us on The Politics Hour late last month --- is anti-abortion, pro-gun rights and says he "doesn't know" if the 2020 presidential election was stolen. But Brown ran against another Republican for statewide office before and lost --- in 2014 against current Governor Larry Hogan. Congresswoman Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) is up for re-election in Virginia's 7th congressional district, but it isn't the same district she ran for previously. After redistricting, her district may include more of blue Northern Virginia, but many of her constituents have now never been represented by her before. Her district now includes a good chunk of Prince William County, where her opponent Yesli Vega is the first Latina Board of Supervisors member ever elected in the county. Spanberger has made opposition to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision on abortion, along with a host of other national issues, a centerpiece of her campaign. But although a recent poll shows most Virginians agree with her views on abortion, she still has to contend with reintroducing herself to her own district and her opponent's powerful personal story. It's election season! WAMU and DCist have put together voter guides and election stories for D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. Find them here.

In the third hour of the morning show, Larry O'Connor and Julie Gunlock talked to Yesli Vega and Billboard Chris.

It’s the final Friday of June, unless something can be done to add another day to the month. I am unaware of any campaign to do so, but perhaps there need to be changes. So, welcome to this 24th day of the fifth interval of what we’ve come to call the two thousand and twenty-second year. This is Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast about the built environment that celebrates 400 editions with this installment that arrives 711 days later. I’m your host, Sean Tubbs. Sign up for a free subscription, but if you opt to pay, Ting will match your initial payment! On today’s edition of the program:Charlottesville’s budget surplus is increasing with revenues higher than originally budgetedCharlottesville City Council will make appointments to the Planning Commission in July You can count on one hand the number of Albemarle residents who voted in the Republican Primary for the 7th Congressional District Changes to Charlottesville Area Transit routes could soon occur as soon as more drivers can be hired First shout-out: The Plant Northern Piedmont Natives Campaign Since the very beginning of this newsletter, one long-time Patreon supporter has used his shout-out to draw your attention to the work of the Plant Northern Piedmont Natives Campaign but today let’s talk about National Pollinator Week, which runs through June 26! There will be many events designed to draw your attention to the crucial role that bees and other creatures play in making sure plants reproduce. On Saturday at 10 a.m., Scottsville’s Center for the Arts and Natural Environment will host Allison Wickham from Siller Pollinator Company will lead an introduction to bees and beekeeping. If you're thinking about starting a backyard beehive or are just curious about what's involved with keeping bees, then this is a great introductory class for you. There will even be a honey competition judged by Allison Wickham! For the tuition rate and to register, visit svilleartsandnature.org for a list of all of the upcoming classes. Charlottesville’s FY22 surplus likely to increaseThere’s less than a week until the fiscal new year for Virginia and its local governments. On Tuesday, Charlottesville City Council got an update from interim City Manager Michael C. Rogers on what can be expected in terms of “one-time money” in the form of a financial report. (read the report)“And we see that there’s a projected $14 million surplus for revenue,” Rogers said. That’s higher than the $13 million projected in April. However, Rogers said that number could change as the city’s expenditures have also been down due to various reasons including COVID. “We have a lot of vacancies in our budget, the market has had an impact on our ability to hire as rapidly as we need to,” Rogers said. “While 92 percent of the budget year has passed, we’ve only spent about 85 percent of our budget expenditures. That’s going to release in a surplus.”However, Rogers said the actual surplus will not be known until later in the year after the city’s books are closed and reconciled. One of the reasons why there will be a surplus is due to tax rates increases and assessment rises for personal property and real estate. Earlier this year, Council voted to increase the real estate tax rate to $0.96 per $100 of assessed value. That penny increase applied to the entire calendar year of 2022. Council also opted to keep the personal property rate at $4.20 per $100 of assessed value, also contributing to the surplus. That was over the recommendation of Commissioner of Revenue Todd Divers who suggested reducing it due to a sharp increase in the value of used vehicles. The city also will not bring in as much revenue from Parks and Recreation as originally believed. “During the budget process we budgeted for the idea that we thought we would be fully operational but as you know we’re not and so therefore we are not going to make those marks,” said Krisy Hammill, the city’s senior budget performance analyst. The city has also closed on its latest sale of municipal bonds which are used to finance capital projects. The cost of doing so will increase as interest rates go up. “We closed with about $28 million at a rate at about 3.07 percent, which is about double of what we got last year but it is indicative of the market and still a very good rate,” Hammill said. Council makes appointments, but not yet to Planning CommissionOn Tuesday, City Council appointed Laura Knott and Sally Duncan to the city’s Historic Resources Committee and Dashad Cooper to the Police Civilian Oversight Board. Other appointments included members of the Sister Cities Commission, the Region 10 Board, and the Retirement Commission. However, they did not fill all the open positions.“Appointments to the Planning Commission have been postponed until the July 18 Council meeting,” said Charlottesville Mayor Lloyd Snook. “There were a few people we needed to interview and didn’t have time to do it today and at least one person was not available.”Council will not meet the first week of July. The window to apply for the Planning Commission has closed. There were at least 28 applications for the five seats, including those of sitting Commissioners Karim Habbab, Hosea Mitchell, and Rory Stolzenberg. There will be at least two newcomers because Commissioners Taneia Dowell and Jody Lahendro are not eligible for another term.  There are three at-large vacancies on the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority. Applications for those positions are due on August 5, 2022. That entity’s next public meeting is June 27, 2022 and there’s no information yet available on their website. In fact, there’s not been a meeting listed on the CRHA website since January 2021. (apply here)City still seeking to fill key vacancies crucial to approval of new buildings Earlier this month, interim Charlottesville City Manager Michael C. Rogers told Council of a shortage of building inspectors. On Tuesday, he said positions are being readvertised and other solutions are being explored. “I have executed an agreement with the University of Virginia’s building official to provide staff capacity to assist us in the permitting and inspections process and they began last week,” Rogers said.Rogers said the agreement will carry into the fall. Albemarle Republicans choose Anderson in 7th Congressional District Voters in Albemarle’s “Small Sliver” within Virginia’s new 7th Congressional District went to the polls Tuesday in the Republican primary. Eight people in all voted in the six way race and half selected Derrick Anderson, the candidate who came in second-place overall. There were two votes for State Senator Bryce Reeves who came in third and two votes for the winner. Yesli Vega received 10,878 votes and will face incumbent Democrat Abigail Spanberger in November. Albemarle County is otherwise entirely within the new Fifth District. I’ve begun reporting on the Fifth District with a new newsletter if you want to join my journey in learning more about the localities within.

Go learn about this place today!Next steps for Charlottesville Area Transit route changes outlined at partnership meeting Before the pandemic, Charlottesville Area Transit hired the firm Nelson Nygaard to take a look at its routes to suggest changes to optimize service. The study was done but nothing has been implemented so far. The Jefferson Area Regional Transit Partnership got an update at their meeting yesterday.“CAT planned on implementing that system optimization plan last year but they’ve been dealing with driver shortages like every other transit agency in the country so that’s been postponed,” said Jim Baker of Nelson Nygaard. CAT director Garland Williams directed Nelson Nygaard to revisit the route changes to identify how it might be phased into service over time rather than be done all at once. This would include restoring service to pre-COVID levels, expanding service areas in both Charlottesville and Albemarle, and expanding Saturday and Sunday service. Since the pandemic, CAT has run no service on Sundays. “We felt like that’s a pressing need to get some level of Sunday service back on the streets,” Baker said. “So we’re proposing to get the trolley back online, the Route 12 which ran pre-pandemic up the U.S. 29 corridor, and to get service down into Avon Street past the CAT garage for Sunday service. Baker said three routes would see changes as part of the first phase.The Center at Belvedere would finally be served by the northbound journey of Route 11. To make up for the time, there will no longer be service on a loop that runs through the Locust Grove neighborhood.  Route 2 would be split into two services with 2A serving Fifth Street Station and the Willoughby Shopping Center and 2B serving Mill Creek in Albemarle County for the first time on its way to Piedmont Virginia Community College. This would also serve Monticello High School. 2A would run for some of Sunday A second bus would be added to the current Route 6 to improve frequency to 30 minutesThe second phase would make changes to services along the U.S. 29 corridor.Route 7 would be expanded to the Wal-Mart and would travel bi-directionally along Hillsdale Drive and through Seminole Square Shopping Center. Baker said the goal here is to link downtown Charlottesville with Wal-Mart, which is a major shopping destination. Route 5 would no longer travel to the Wal-Mart but would instead have a northern terminus at Fashion Square Mall. Its new southern terminus would be the UVA Hospital. The Sunday-only Route 12 would be eliminated in favor of Route 7 going seven days a week The third phase will implement the rest of the changes. Here are some of them:Saturday service would be introduced to Route 1 Route 3 would be broken into two routes with one traveling solely between downtown and Willoughby Shopping Center A new route, tentatively known as Route 3E, would travel around Belmont and downtownRoute 6 would no longer serve the University of Virginia Hospital via Prospect Avenue. It would also be routed along South First Street as it travels between downtown and the Willoughby Shopping Center. This would add additional service to Crescent Hall.Route 8 serves Stonefield and would be altered to travel south to the University of Virginia Hospital and down to Willoughby Shopping Center via Prospect Avenue. This service would no longer travel downtown. Route 9 would also no longer serve the UVA Hospital and would instead travel to Fashion Square Mall Route 10 would be altered to no longer travel on Stony Point Road and instead would travel bidirectionally through the Pantops Shopping Center on its way between Downtown Charlottesville and Sentara Martha JeffersonWhen will the phases be implemented? According to the presentation, that’s all going to depend on drivers. Six more drivers are needed for phase one, a total of 12 are needed for phase two, and a total of 27 are needed for phase 3. There’s an additional “phase three plus” that’s perhaps not worth detailing because it would need a total of 46 additional drivers. That’s a much higher number than six. “Assuming we can get the pay scale to be comparable to Jaunt and [University Transit System], and we can get six more drivers, that should not be [beyond the reach] and then we can begin phase 1,” Williams said. “The jump, though, is getting authorization from the city and the county to fund us to make the additional resources.” The Regional Transit Partnership meeting was held a couple of hours before a public meeting on the Regional Transit Vision Plan. which is $350,000 in the making. The following illustrates confusion that can come from having planning processes not tied to actual logistics. City Councilor Brian Pinkston asked what the proposed CAT changes had to do with that study.“Is this sort of like a first step towards that larger vision?”Williams said these changes have nothing to do with the Regional Transit Vision Plan. “They didn’t even copy these routes,” Williams said. “They took a whole new approach and said the slate was clean.” I’ll have more from the Regional Transit Partnership and more on the Regional Transit Vision plan in future installments of Charlottesville Community Engagement.

Por primera vez en su historia, el país latinoamericano tendrá un gobierno de izquierda.La fórmula de la coalición Pacto Histórico venció en segunda vuelta al candidato independiente Rodolfo Hernández con una diferencia de apenas tres puntos porcentuales.En esta otra edición, hablé sobre las diferencias entre los proyectos de país que tenía cada candidato, por lo que el estrecho margen de diferencia entre ambos candidatos abre la puerta a pensar en dos Colombias.El objetivo de esta newsletter es explorar lo que estas elecciones significaron para la ciudadanía colombiana y hablar tanto de aquello que los une como aquello que los divide.🗺 Victoria de periferiaUna expresión que se leyó bastante en redes sociales tras la victoria de Petro contiene la clave de una de las categorías de análisis a la que puede someterse estos comicios: el factor geográfico y productivo.Desde su independencia, Colombia se ha debatido entre un modelo centralizado y uno federal. Las zonas del país que se vieron más beneficiadas económicamente, sea por las plantaciones de azúcar y café o por el proceso de industrialización, configuraron un eje cuatripartito entre las ciudades de Bogotá, Medellín, Cali y Barranquilla.La periferia se construyó por oposición como una suma de todas las regiones que quedaron excluidas del eje urbano, más desarrollado. Las agrociudades protagonizaron esta exclusión en los 90, cuando la liberalización de la economía provocó una crisis de materias primas.En este artículo, nuestros colegas de El Orden Mundial exploran el reflejo de esta regionalización en la red urbana de Colombia y su déficit en materia de transporte.En la Colombia rural, la distribución de la riqueza es menos equitativa. Según el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD):Del 90,9 por ciento de la población que vive en las áreas rurales de Colombia, el 42,9 por ciento era pobre en 2020. El 48 por ciento se encontraba en condición de vulnerabilidad.Además, el PNUD señala que estas cifras son contextuales: mientras que en las ciudades el porcentaje de pobreza se ha ido reduciendo, en las zonas rurales ha aumentado.La élite económica se tradujo en una élite política que gobernó el país durante décadas haciendo oídos sordos a las necesidades del electorado que no representaba: pobres, pueblos originarios, ambientalistas, trabajadores, y así."Una de las nadies, de los históricamente excluidos, se pone de pie para ocupar la política porque la élite que nos gobernó nunca nos permitió vivir en dignidad, en paz y con justicia social", dijo en su momento Francia Márquez, ahora vicepresidenta electa, para defender su candidatura.La fórmula de Gustavo Petro y Francia Márquez es la consolidación de décadas de militancia desde la periferia para conquistar una participación política real que atienda a sus demandas.Por esto, una de las propuestas de la fórmula presidencial electa es mudar la economía colombiana del actual modelo extractivista a uno más sostenible basado en la agricultura y la industria.“Es hora de dejar la estupidez del extractivismo, de pensarnos como un país petrolero y carbonero, tal cual Venezuela, y pasar a construir la compleja tarea histórica de industrializarnos desde la equidad”, dijo Petro.Esta evolución hacia un sistema productivo más eficiente podría, por ejemplo, incluir un aumento impositivo para los terrenos cultivables que no estén produciendo.La propuesta, aunque sin duda ha causado rechazos entre terratenientes del país, va alineada con el objetivo general de lograr una mejor redistribución de la riqueza a través del pleno aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales.“Los poseedores que ven la tierra como poder y no como instrumento productivo tienen que retroceder y deben liberar la tierra. Yo propongo comprárselas, no para que quede en propiedad del Estado sino para aquellos que la ven como un instrumento de producción”, explicó el entonces candidato.🕊 Proceso de pazPor primera vez en varios años, el debate político en torno a estas elecciones ha podido separarse del contexto de guerra y del presupuesto del Ministerio de Defensa, dando oportunidad a que se hable de otras necesidades como la educación, el medioambiente y la economía del cuidado.Aunque está lejos de ser pasado sepultado, el capítulo de violencia que en 2016 cerraron los acuerdos de paz firmados con las FARC-EP (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia – Ejército del Pueblo) permitió a la ciudadanía colombiana poder empezar a mirar al futuro.¿Cómo se relacionan con las elecciones presidenciales de este año? Para hablar de eso, primero es necesario recapitular brevemente la historia de las FARC y su relación con la tercera fuerza política de estos últimos comicios: el uribismo.A mediados del siglo XX, en Colombia se vivía una época conocida como “La Violencia” que enfrentó a liberales y conservadores. Era una lucha por la tierra; los campesinos se rebelaron contra el dominio de los terratenientes y los altos precios en la tenencia de propiedades.Los conservadores contaban con el apoyo del Estado, mientras que los liberales se agruparon como autodefensas campesinas en varias regiones del país. En ese contexto, en el año 1964, nació en las montañas del centro de Colombia un sentimiento de resistencia que duraría más de 50 años; el germen de las FARC.Álvaro Uribe llegó a la presidencia de Colombia tras las elecciones de 2002 con un discurso abiertamente intolerante con las FARC. Su política de seguridad democrática buscó intensificar el combate a las guerrillas, aumentando el financiamiento a las Fuerzas Armadas con ayuda del capital extranjero: el Plan Colombia.Estados Unidos invirtió entre 2001 y 2016 más de 10.000 millones de dólares en ayuda militar, el segundo mayor presupuesto estadounidense para un aliado después del concedido a Israel.💥 Fin de FARCEl Plan Colombia comenzó a dar resultados en unos años y las FARC vieron reducidas sus fuerzas. Después de contar con un promedio de 20.000 integrantes en el año 2000, pasaron a tener poco menos de 9.000 en 2010. Sin embargo, el coste humano de la estrategia fue devastador.Cerca de 4 millones de personas fueron desplazadas durante el Plan Colombia, un promedio de 300.000 al año, según la Consultoría para los Derechos Humanos y Desplazamiento (CODHES).Más de 7.000 sindicalistas fueron amenazados, torturados o violentados, y por lo menos 1.000 fueron asesinados entre enero de 2000 y enero de 2016, según datos de la Escuela Nacional Sindical.Alrededor de 400 defensores de derechos humanos fueron asesinados entre 2010 y 2015. Según Frontline Defenders, Colombia tuvo el mayor número de asesinatos selectivos de defensores de derechos humanos en 2015.Durante la presidencia de Juan Manuel Santos, exministro de defensa del expresidente Uribe, se puso sobre la mesa la posibilidad de negociar un acuerdo de paz con las FARC. Para la guerrilla era una oportunidad de transformar la lucha armada en una lucha política, mientras que para el gobierno era una oportunidad de lograr un control efectivo en materia de seguridad.El pacto con la guerrilla fue sometido a un referendo. Con un 60 por ciento de abstención, la opción del “No” se impuso por una diferencia mínima de menos de un punto porcentual.Tras la derrota en pleibiscito, Santos decidió aprobar los acuerdos por vía de decreto presidencial y el proceso de paz se refrendó en el Congreso.Finalmente, las FARC y el gobierno de Colombia firmaron la paz en el año 2016. Además del cese del enfrentamiento armado, la guerrilla se incorporó institucionalmente al sistema político al convertirse en un partido.La Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común actualmente tiene aseguradas diez curules en el Congreso que les asegura representatividad en el proceso democrático de construcción de la paz.👻 Una guerrilla fantasmaCinco décadas de conflicto armado en el país han dejado su marca en el pueblo colombiano. Ahora, existe un profundo rechazo a una clandestinidad armada que todavía no se ha visto del todo erradicada pese al acuerdo de paz.A Colombia le llevó mucho tiempo conseguir la paz y esa tranquilidad conquistada proyecta sombra sobre el pasado de guerrillas: existe un miedo arraigado a que el país vuelva a estar doblegado al poder de los grupos armados y las redes de narcotráfico.Ese miedo social a volver a épocas más oscuras de su historia fue el combustible que alentó a los grupos de derecha a intentar construir discursivamente a Petro como un candidato “peligroso” por su activismo como guerrillero en su juventud.En 1978, Gustavo Petro entró en la guerrilla a los 18 años cuando todavía cursaba segundo grado de Economía en la universidad. Se unió al M-19, un grupo que nació tras el fraude electoral denunciado por los seguidores de Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, un candidato que perdió las elecciones presidenciales de 1970 contra el conservador Misael Pastrana.Petro asegura que nunca tomó parte activa en las acciones armadas, sino que participaba en tareas de distribución de propaganda ideológica y otras iniciativas pacíficas como el reparto de alimentos en comunidades desfavorecidas.En 1990, el M-19 y el gobierno colombiano firmaron un acuerdo de paz, el primero de América Latina entre un Estado y una guerrilla. El grupo se incorporó a la vida política del país bajo el nombre ‘Alianza Democrática M-19’ de la que Gustavo Petro fue uno de sus cofundadores."Esta era una concepción completamente diferente a la del ELN, las FARC, el Partido Comunista o los diversos grupos de izquierda universitaria que entablaban un diálogo con modelos como el soviético, el cubano o el chino, mientras que nosotros pensábamos en un proyecto propio nacionalista y democrático", dijo Petro sobre las motivaciones que en aquel momento lo llevaron a unirse al M-19.Tras conocerse los resultados de primera vuelta, el candidato Federico “Fico” Gutiérrez, representante del uribismo y tercera fuerza política en estas elecciones, anunció su apoyo a Rodolfo Hernández con un discurso petrofóbico.“Gustavo Petro, por todo lo que ha dicho y por todo lo que ha hecho, no le conviene a Colombia. [...] Consideramos que esa opción sería un peligro para el país”, dijo Gutiérrez.Sin embargo, Fico Gutiérrez quedó fuera de la contienda en primera vuelta. Pese a décadas de gobiernos de derecha, se vio superado en porcentaje de votos por un candidato con una propuesta apartidaria y un discurso básico de valores anticorrupción. Es decir, el voto de la gente fue bastante en contra de lo que él representa. “¿Exguerrillero o ingeniero?” Así presentaba a los dos candidatos del balotaje del domingo la Revista Semana, uno de los medios más importantes del país, en su portada del día anterior a los comicios.“Le comunico que soy economista” respondió Petro en una cita al tweet de Vicky Dávila, directora de Semana, con la portada en cuestión.Resumiendo, el voto a Hernández y el estrecho margen de diferencia con Petro no necesariamente deben leerse como un voto en contra de la propuesta de país que ofrece la fórmula de Pacto Histórico.También puede leerse como un voto de miedo por lo que pudiera pasar si…, un miedo infundado por esta conceptualización de Petro como un candidato potencialmente peligroso en un país donde la paz se ha convertido en el bien más preciado.🔥 Gobernar la fragmentaciónIván Duque, actual presidente y miembro del partido del expresidente Uribe, está cerrando su gestión con uno de los peores porcentajes de apoyo a la gestión en la historia del país. En junio de 2021, una encuesta de la consultora Datexco reveló que un 79 por ciento de los habitantes desaprobaba su mandato.En 2021, tuvo lugar el Paro Nacional, una estallido social desencadenado por el anuncio del proyecto de reforma tributaria propuesto por el gobierno de Duque.Las manifestaciones terminaron condensando todos los reclamos de la ciudadanía por condiciones de vida más dignas y fueron violentamente reprimidas por miembros de la Fuerza Pública.Con su victoria, Petro asume el desafío de estar a la altura de las grandes expectativas de su electorado: reformar una economía perjudicada por la pandemia de coronavirus y la guerra en Ucrania, controlar las disidencias delictivas armadas y garantizar el acceso a la educación en todas las regiones del país están entre los tópicos más apremiantes.Además, es el último período presidencial con la representación congresual de las FARC garantizada por la Constitución. ¿Aguantará este grupo de presión la transición de una representación política garantizada por el acuerdo a una que dependa exclusivamente de la legitimación del pueblo?“Queremos una, no dos Colombias. Y para que sea una Colombia, en medio de esa enorme diversidad multicolor que somos, necesitamos del amor. Entendida la política del amor como una política del entendimiento, como una política del diálogo. [...] No tendría sentido un gobierno de la vida si no llevamos a la sociedad colombiana a la paz, objetivo central. ¿Qué significa poder hacer la paz? Significa que los 10 millones y pico de electores de Rodolfo Hernández son bienvenidos en este gobierno”, explicaba Petro a la multitud tras la noticia de su victoria.Con este mensaje, Petro no solo acepta formalmente el compromiso de ser una gestión reparadora en un país donde el daño es grande y duele mucho.También abre la puerta a una verdadera reconciliación nacional, una donde los ciudadanos puedan votar según sus convicciones y no por miedo a que el pasado se vuelva presente.Una Colombia unida en la victoria compartida de gozar de instituciones democráticas firmes, que logre recuperarse del sufrimiento histórico a través de una política pública nacional empática y compasiva.Más información en esta entrevista que Emilio hizo este lunes a la periodista colombiana Andrea Aldana, y en este podcast de La Gaitana.🗳 Dos carreras intensasLo importante: dos congresistas demócratas de Virginia ya conocen a los rivales republicanos que intentarán arrebatarles el escaño el próximo noviembre. Ambas carreras congresuales se anticipan como dos de las más duras e intensas del país.Contexto: Abigail Spanberger y Elaine Luria representan distritos bisagra en Virginia, un estado en el que el redibujo de distritos las ha dejado en una situación peliaguda.En el distrito 7, Spanberger pierde a sus constituyentes a las afueras de Richmond, ciudad cerca de la que se crió. A cambio, tendrá que lograr nuevos votantes en el norte del estado, cerca de Washington D.C. y en un condado donde su rival Yesli Vega tiene raíces familiares y políticas y donde podría lograr el apoyo de la comunidad hispana a la que pertenece.En el distrito 2, Luria deberá enfrentarse a su rival republicana en un mapa más difícil que en 2020 con muchos votantes que bien sirven o han servido en las Fuerzas Armadas (hay varias bases de la Marina en el distrito). Ella es excomandante de la Marina. Su rival, Jen Kiggans, expiloto de helicópteros.Explícamelo: Luria y Spanberger tendrán muy complicado revalidar sus victorias tras dos elecciones en 2018 y 2020 en las que ya ganaron por poco. Si consiguen superar las expectativas en un momento económico difícil y de popularidad demócrata baja, sus historias recibirán merecida atención mediática.¿Y ahora? A diferencia de otros estados, sus rivales no han destacado por ser excesivamente pro-Trump, sino por abrazar la estrategia electoral del gobernador republicano de Virginia, Glenn Youngkin, cuya carrera en 2021 fue un reflejo de lo que otros candidatos de su partido podían explotar en otros comicios.Más información en The Washington Post.🔥 Sin pruebasLo importante: al comité congresual especial que investiga el Asalto al Capitolio reveló este martes que Donald Trump y sus aliados lideraron una campaña de presión para lograr que distintos funcionarios estatales les ayudaran a revertir los resultados de las elecciones presidenciales de 2020.En concreto, la sesión se centró en los estados de Georgia y Arizona.Contexto: el comité celebró este martes la cuarta jornada de audiencias públicas con las que pretenden demostrar que Trump estuvo directamente implicado en esas estrategias antidemocráticas que culminaron con la insurrección del 6 de enero de 2021.Explícamelo: trabajadores electorales, legisladores y líderes ejecutivos de Georgia y Arizona testificaron sobre las presiones que recibieron por parte del expresidente y de algunos de sus consejeros más cercanos, incluidos el congresista Andy Biggs y los abogados Rudy Giuliani y John Eastman.Lo más grave lo reveló el presidente republicano de la cámara baja de Arizona. Dijo que cuando le pidió a Giuliani pruebas sobre el fraude electoral a gran escala, el abogado de Trump le dijo: “Tenemos muchas teorías, solo que no tenemos las pruebas [para demostrarlas]”.El senador republicano Ron Johnson también tuvo protagonismo porque intentó entregar al vicepresidente Mike Pence documentos con una serie de electores falsos de Wisconsin y Michigan.La intención era usar esos electores falsos pro-Trump como votos alternativos a los que había logrado Joe Biden por ganar los dos estados del Midwest.Pence rechazó seguir la estrategia de rechazar los votos de Biden y certificar los de Trump durante el 6 de enero. Al final, ideró la ceremonia que acabaría confirmando la victoria de Biden.¿Y ahora? Las siguientes citas del comité prometen revelar cómo las palabras de Trump posibilitaron que tuviera lugar el Asalto al Capitolio.Más información en The Washington Post.🗳 Monitor electoral🇺🇸 Un dúo poco probable: los demócratas de Pennsylvania aspiran a un frente únicoAssociated Press (en inglés; 8 minutos)🇨🇴 Con Petro en Colombia, ¿se consolida un nuevo giro a la izquierda en América Latina?France 24 (en español; 7 minutos)🇮🇹 El ministro de Exteriores italiano abandona el M5S que lideró y provoca su escisiónEl Confidencial (en español; 4 minutos)👾 En el DiscordUn retazo de Maricopa Land@fedefer comparte un hilo sobre la industria del periodismo en España:En otro orden de cosas, este miércoles vuelve Miércoles Gringo para hablar sobre el buscador de Google a raíz de un ensayo que cuestiona su utilidad, la llegada de los drones de Amazon a un barrio near you y la mayor preocupación actual en el mundo cripto.Y sobre mí, ayer fue mi día favorito del año.
