Mexican activists argue that it isn't #climate "change" but environmental violence, and that stopping it goes hand in hand with challenging imperialism. My latest. truthout.org/articles/mex...

Reading the mainstream English world #news, you would get the impression that the war on Iran, the Amazon plane crash, and migrants in Ceuta is all that is happening, and that there was very little resistance to the dire international situation. excludedheadlines.substack.com/p/excluded-h...

This past week, Mexicans around the country have been donating many tonnes worth of food, medicine and supplies, such as batteries and hygiene products, to Cuba. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1447/wo... @greenleftonline.bsky.social @cubasolidarity.bsky.social

So far, the BBC has not covered the “evaporation” of thousands of Gazans, as reported on by AJ. While they deliberately boycott that horror, six out of seven of their top world news stories are about the Global North (20% of the #world). Reuters, DW, AP, NYT etc also have not covered the #news.

"The U.S. is present everywhere in Mexico, it owns half the country, it is meddling in everything." Many Mexicans stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan people, beyond Trump's threats against Mexicans. US out of Latin America. truthout.org/articles/res...

The US has murdered 43 Latin Americans in the Caribbean. It has sent the world's biggest warship to the Venezuelan coast, along with destroyers, navy ships, submarines, and 6,000 soldiers and sailors.

A global collective hope crisis is simmering, with many people hurting, criminalized, repressed, and doubting that justice is possible. The old fable of a stable job, home, family and retirement is crumbling. But, things are much more hopeful than they initially seem. @greenleftonline.bsky.social

A whole community of Mazatec people in Oaxaca, #Mexico is being attacked as they try to defend their river from aggregate mining. The repression is proportionate to their resistance and they really are an example of the collective #environmental care that is possible. truthout.org/articles/san...

The complete irony of this @nytimes.com piece about a protest against gentrification in #mexico (which they stupidly call "tourism") written by a journalist IN and FROM the US with no knowledge of the country or issue. The piece embodies the mentality & economic power that was being protested 🙄

Big #tech are strangling the Global South. US companies dominate our search results, AI algorithms are full of racial, gender, and pro-West bias, and these companies are dominating whole industries in Mexico. But there is resistance and there are alternatives ... truthout.org/articles/mex...

Today is the International #DayOfTheMidwife It comes as unnecessary c-sections and obstetric violence rates are spiking. This has a lot to do with medical decisions being made in the interests of profit or efficiency, rather than women. znetwork.org/znetarticle/... @officialznet.bsky.social

Tariffs? Cars cars cars...
Image is text, it reads: How will car tariffs affect prices in the US, how will they affect employment in Mexico, how will they affect trade relations? Media blah blah. Trade relations have always been dictated by the US - and that needs to change. Beyond car tariffs though, the bigger, more urgent discussion here is how on earth, here in Mexico, and in the US and elsewhere, we can get over cars and have more and better public transport (and THAT, trust me, would be way more affordable and creates jobs and the productions consumes way less water).
