In July, I went to a village in Michoacán, Mexico destroyed by combat between cartels the Trump administration categorized as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. What did I find? Bullets produced in a US Army factory and used by those very same FTOs. https://t.co/tuWRLf8kCm

🚨 27,000 KILLED IN SUDAN’S DARFUR IN 3 DAYS Darfur governor Minni Arkou Minnawi says 27,000 people were killed in just three days after the RSF captured El-Fasher late last month — a massive jump from earlier estimates of about 2,500 deaths. In March 2025, Senator Chris Van
The U.S. has the leverage to help stop the RSF's atrocities in Sudan, RIGHT NOW. But to do that we have to use it. Today, Republicans blocked my effort to pass legislation to suspend arms sales to the UAE until we can verify they are no longer arming the genocidal RSF. Shameful.

Es preocupante lo que viene haciendo la Vicefiscalía de Personas Desaparecidas de Jalisco en el Registro Nacional. Desde agosto, comenzó a subir muy pocos casos: 125 hasta ayer. Lo más grave no es el número, sino la lógica que está siguiendo y que es un error. Mañana subo un hilo

*Though there were concrete grievances (violence), there were some narrative inconsistencies to the protest, allegedly "apolitical": *Some called for Sheinbaum to resign *Others chanted about a narco-gobierno *Others alleged nonexistent 2024 Presidential election fraud

I missed the first march but was here at this underwhelming follow-up. Continuing my observations *Minus a small group of young people who raced past the police into the Zócalo, the protesters weren't violent — even the young people didn't seem eager to wage war with the police

Final thoughts on Generación Z March 2.0 *It was small—50 to 300 people *Massive police presence *Mostly middle-aged crowd, with a smaller faction (%20 +/-) of young people *Many people with genuine grievances (insecurity, violence) *Others focusing on the 'communism' of Morena
I'm at the 2nd round of the "Generación Z" protests against insecurity, violence, and Claudia Sheinbaum's Morena government in CDMX. Still early, but there seems to be more journalists than protesters.

The March started up again after the military parade ended; suddenly got bigger (though not that much bigger) towards the centro. Hundreds of police have cornered the protesters on a single intersection a block from the Zócalo, where there are no barricades due to the parade.
