Thank you for this. On top of the lax reporting in favor of a laugh (at the expense of Mexico), it is reductive colonizer behavior to assume that the president of a country is cute and silly, as opposed to calculated and manipulative, as AMLO is. 

I’m not one to question why an American supposedly feminist website isn’t covering Mexican politics, but in light of *waves hands frantically* everything going on there, this piece seems tone-deaf, especially the description of AMLO as “an advocate for the indigenous people of Mexico.”

Thanks for this.

As usual, you’re wrong.

No mention of why he posted the elf? Like maybe he wanted folks to talk about elves and not why tens of thousands were protesting?
Instead you make this about Biden? Holy crap with the myopic world view.

This might be the dumbest article this site has had. You could have done the minimum research about all the controversies of Lopez Obrador and the terrible things he has done up to the protests last Sundays and how if anything it’s Mexico who would be lucky to have a Biden or not a guy closer to Trump than him.

Nope. Nope. Nope. I am writing from Mexico, and you guys are getting the story all wrong. The president (who I am certain does not actually do his own tweeting) sent this out hoping to deflect a series of grave political and ecological controversies surrounding the construction of the Tren Maya, which is opposed by…

Sure, Biden might not talk about cryptids and Mayan spirits, but I guess I’ll take comfort that Biden isn’t cutting funding for local polling stations and poll workers?

Snubbed, rejected! The shame! More like she didn’t noticed. It can embarrassing when you offer a hand or a high five or whatever and the other person doesn’t notice, but I wouldn’t say she snubbed him. lol, the drama!

I wouldn’t criticize Crawford for her choice overextend herself for her job.

The “best” part of the tirade was his conclusion that he will no longer be helping black Americans. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Yeah, but she was liked fired over the blue rollout and i’d bet a ton the failure was due much more to interference from above than her work on the project. But elon won’t fire himself, so gotta have a scapegoat.

You don’t get to be a billionaire by being a decent or reasonable person. Paraphrasing the beginning of a bit I heard a comedian do on, IIRC, Warren Buffett: “I mean, we can all agree billionaires are pyschopaths. Because a billionaire is someone who at some point had $750 million, and was just sitting there like…

She’s not going to jail. Basically every Spanish entertainer/ athlete runs afoul of the Spanish tax laws. The laws are arcane and impossible to understand. It’s basically a legal shakedown. 

Yeah I assume if your dad is a known donor to Trump and other right wing loonies it probably required confirmation. Especially if daddy was paying the bills.

If the Peltz are mega-rich why is the matriarch afraid of the cost? I again ask why the rich are so stingy that they need this 159k deposit back and its’ worth it to them to have all of their texts in the public record? All while the elder Peltz was trying to get on Disney’s board.

“... no one who is endangering the lives of queer kids and working to actively dismantle Black history education in schools should get even an iota of pleasure dancing to “Y.M.C.A.” I don’t want DeSantis tapping even his pinky toe to Earth Wind and Fire.”

Don Lemon is “prime” enough to know that he can’t do what they do & that they will not keep the same energy for him that they do for melanots when they say/do ‘insensitive’ things.

This is the most Oregon thing I’ve ever heard.

“Sorry.  We hoped nobody would notice and this wouldn’t make the papers.  But now that it has, please accept our hollow apology that does nothing to address the actual issue”
