I haven’t heard a single gunshot in Mexico since I moved here in January. I visited my mom in Dallas for three days and heard a gunshot the first night I was there.

I have always loved the Dallas Cowboys. They are America’s Team as well as DEM BOYZ.

Moving to Mexico hasn’t been easy for my family and me. But we are making the most of it. Follow our adventures on Tik Tok: www.tiktok.com/@musingsfrommexico

this dallas cowboys defense is like watching a trash compactor work: it’s a fascinating machine, but ultimately the end result is trash

That touchdown was brought to you by the Giants somehow managing to draw more flags than the Cowboys.

I’ll do everything in my power to make sure my son doesn’t care about Dallas Cowboys results, but he is Mexican and his roots are in Dallas. Poor boy might not have a fighting chance.

I’ve been eating produce (fruits/veggies), meat, eggs and milk — all produced in Mexico and sometimes sold at open-air markets — since January, when I moved to Tamaulipas. Reader, my family and I have not had any kind of food-borne illnesses. IDK what that says about the U.S. food supply chain.

How is “Donald Trump can’t even keep you safe from lettuce” not a standard talking point for Democrats? Especially for those still laser-focused on being anti-Trump instead of pro some kind of economic promise?

Been living in Mexico for just over six months. Haven’t heard a single gunshot. I visited my mom’s in Dallas in April for ONE night and heard three.

NEW: Aurora Police say an ICE detention center employee shot a protester last night. She is expected to survive. 42-year-old Brandon Booth, who works for the ICE contractor GEO Group, is being held on suspicion of attempted second degree murder and other charges.

Let’s just be very clear, of all the times VAR could’ve reviewed Argentinian players diving during this tournament, the one time they get involved is to red card a Swiss player and totally flip the momentum against them when it looked like the Swiss were more likely to get a second goal.

I actually did expect USMNT to have the best World Cup out of any host nation. They’ve spent the past 10-15 years exporting talent to Europe’s top leagues and scouting very good eligible players to improve their odds. This team is very talented. Falling apart here is a massive, MASSIVE failure.

Why should you support independent trans media? Perhaps because we take on the bias of major news organizations with facts and data. Here's the latest from @evanurquhart.bsky.social, who found NYT wrote 5 stories on the trans sports ban decision without quoting a single trans person. 🤯🤯🤯

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

Paraguay didn’t deserve to go through at all because they didn’t chase the game, but damn you gotta give it to them. Their plan to focus on rough physical play almost paid off.

It should terrify everyone that there were Supreme Court justices willing to overturn birthright citizenship. This is not a win. It’s a sign that SCOTUS needs a total transformation.

Just seeing the major news pubs and DC journos giddily posting about how NPR had to retract the Totenberg story on Alito’s retirement. Would have loved this energy every time Donald Trump just made something up. 👀

SCOTUS: *takes a sledge hammer as usual to civil rights, voting rights and campaign finance laws that benefit the wealthy elite* Also SCOTUS: “But you can keep birthright citizenship ✌️☮️🌼”

Only one provider in Mexico that has the rights to show all World Cup games — streaming platform Vix. Not only did it crash during the opening México game, it is currently crashing again for South Korea-Czechia. Its social media pages are full of angry folks sharing that their streams are failing.

Mexico winning the World Cup on U.S. soil is the only thing that can save this tournament. I understand how unlikely this is, given the team’s potential knockout round route and the squad’s not particularly exciting level of talent, but stay with me here…

Hey, have you ever thought that so much in American life these days is based on fear? Here's a story where freedom triumphed, at least for one glorious day. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/06/01/n... @bostonglobe.com

So much of American life today is based on fear. In Milford, one high school graduate, supported by his town, celebrated liberty.
