This is the share of Americans who: 1. Believe in God without a doubt AND 2. Attend religious services nearly every week or more AND 3. Report that they are affiliated with a religious tradition (aka not nones). It was never that high (~30%). Today, it's 19%.

Tim Walz, not a foreign policy guy, didn't have a deep record on Latin America as a member of Congress. But he voted against the #Colombia and #Peru free trade agreements, and co-sponsored a 2009 resolution condemning the coup in #Honduras.

"Migdonia Ayestas: '2024 será el año con menos muertes violentas en 20 años'. El Observatorio de la Violencia de la UNAH presentó un informe que destaca la continua disminución de homicidios en el país, proyectando un descenso significativo para 2024."

The US sent 126 deportation planes to #Colombia in 2024, according to data compiled by Thcartwright. Pres. Gustavo Petro accepts flights. He's rejecting _military_ flights—and deportees being "treated like criminals." Unclear, but the latter may refer to abusive new protocols.
