Chango chilango. Had a post liked by my hero once.

Back when I covered soccer, I was supposed to interview some of the American Outlaws. When the outlaws got to the bar, they spotted me and we got blitzed. they gave me a t shirt and a scarf. Turns out, the dudes who drank with me weren't the ones I was supposed to interview. Loved em ever since

Even if the crowds and the vibes are great at the WC now that games are going, there are still plenty of people who do not get to participate in any of this because of the draconian and racist policies of this administration. The pomp and the sport makes it too easy to forget about/overlook them.

From @theathleticfc.bsky.social: Cape Verde’s Vozinha says U.S. visa issues stopped his mother from witnessing his World Cup heroics in person. The 40-year-old goalkeeper was visibly emotional on the pitch after the game. nyti.ms/4vW6UsB

“My mum could not be here either for a visa issue, and the money we had to pay for it.” - Vozinha, player of the match in Cape Verde's stunning World Cup draw with Spain

Colombian President Petro on Epstein’s collaborator Donald Trump: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil." #OpDeathEaters

Trump on Sheinbaum: "The cartels are running Mexico. She's not running Mexico. We could be politically correct & nice and say, 'Oh, yes, she is.' No no. And I've asked her number times, 'Would you like us to take out the cartels?' ... something is gonna have to be done with Mexico."

The thing is though they spent a decade investigating and building evidence against Hernandez before he was indicted. It’s the flimsy and pretextual nature of the accusations here that stands out, since the same could be applied to Sheinbaum or Carney or virtually anyone else next week.

Unfortunately this is less unprecedented than people reacting right now might like. We prosecuted Hernández like a month after his presidency ended and Noriega was captured after we invaded while he was dictator there. That doesn't make it OK but it does make me skeptical there'll be consequences.

So fmr Honduran President Hernandez voluntarily surrendered, and was duly extradited, tried and convicted for drug trafficking, and Trump pardoned him 6w ago. And this morning, Trump illegally attacks Venezuela and abducts its president and his wife purportedly to try them for drug trafficking.

Wow. Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum officially recognizes Palestine as a state. Here she welcomes Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed. Sheinbaum is Jewish, supports Palestinian self-determination, & unapologetically condemns Netanyahu's attacks on Gaza. Historic & inspiring leadership. ❤️✊🏽

The most effective countermeasure is simple: tariffs for oligarchs If Tesla wants to sell cars in Canada and Mexico, Tesla – and its main shareholder, Musk – should be required to pay extra taxes in those countries Concretely, condition market access to Musk paying a wealth tax

Contrary to a widely held view, Mexico, Canada and individual EU countries have leverage America’s Achilles’ heel is its highly internationalized oligarchy: a small group of ultra-wealthy individuals whose fortunes depend on access to global markets.
