"If they only knew .. behind every avocado that people in the United States eat, there is a bloodstain, a dead person, a missing person."

Excellent story from @CassLGarrison. To add insult to injury, we paid @VIX for its World Cup package to stream ALL the games, and last night it didn't stream the Colombia-Uzbekistan game. What a racket.

Nos reunimos con autoridades yaquis en Vícam, Sonora, y visitamos la Universidad del Pueblo Yaqui. Cumpliremos todos los compromisos del Plan de Justicia; reconocemos sus tierras, su agua, sus derechos, su cultura. Por primera vez, el próximo año recibirán presupuesto.
Trump's plan to slap a 25% tax on all imports from Mexico and Canada could strike the bottom lines of U.S. automakers with plants in Mexico and raise prices of SUVs and pickup trucks for U.S. consumers.

Mexico must maneuver carefully now that Trump has secured his return to the presidency, but Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum still has room to negotiate and soften the impact on trade, migration and security.
My latest for @Reuters with @diegore22
reuters.com/world/americas/m…
The brazen decapitation of Chilpancingo's mayor has sparked anger and resignation. Many doubt whether Mexico's new President Claudia Sheinbaum will be able to prosecute the murder or tackle the epidemic of cartel-led violence.
reuters.com/world/americas/b…
President Sheinbaum will present her strategy for confronting Mexico's dire security situation amid a backdrop of high-profile violence including the brutal murder of a local mayor that shocked the country.
My latest for @Reuters with @diegore22
reuters.com/world/americas/e…
Mariachi bands and opposition takedowns: Lopez Obrador's mañanera was a daily cornerstone of Mexican politics. Now Claudia Sheinbaum will carry on the tradition as president- but what can we expect from her?
