On August 20, Guatemalans voted decisively in favor of Bernardo Arévalo in their runoff presidential election, ushering in what will likely be the country’s most progressive president in decades. In just two months, Arévalo’s Movimiento Semilla party used its low-budget, social media-fueled campaign to propel him from obscure underdog candidate to a 20-point landslide victory. While detailed demographic statistics from the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) have not yet been released, it’s clear that youth participation — both on the campaign trail and at the polls — was a critical component to President-elect Arévalo’s victory and Semilla’s legislative success, with the party winning 24…

Executive summary Too often, consideration of point-to-point messaging platforms in the United States is focused on either diaspora or second-language usage, given the global popularity of these platforms. Another common focus is on extremist or unlawful usage. In reality, a broad swath of Americans use point-to-point platforms, the popularity of which is increasing, but that usage remains at a lower rate when compared to that in other regions of the world. An estimated 69 percent of the United States population currently uses at least one point-to-point messaging app, though the use and dynamics of this part of the information ecosystem…

As the United States men’s national rugby team adjusts to a lot of new in its ranks, there are going to be plenty of growing pains. While a lopsided loss at Portugal isn’t ideal from a U.S. perspective, of course, the Eagles — forced to re-enter a sort of development stage after failing to earn a berth to the 2023 Rugby World Cup — are in a different state than they usually are at the moment, so outlooks have to be realistic. Still, there were a lot of things in Algarve that could’ve been a lot better. Following a solid…
