Happy to share that my book Mexican Watchdogs: The Rise of a Critical Press since the 1980s, is soon to be published by @UNC_Press Based on interviews with 180 current & former journalists and 6 years of research, it’s the first narrative history of Mexico’s contemporary press 🧵

🇲🇽📰From 1968 though 2012 or so... @APaxman makes the argument on my podcast that the golden age of journalism in Mexico is over and the new reality is worse and worrisome soundcloud.com/modern_mexico…

We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

The Senegalese 🇸🇳 delegation gets this treatment on arrival in the USA. Full tarmac searches, shoes off, bags turned inside out like criminals. This is straight up humiliation and a disgrace. They’d never put white boys through the same.

A disgrace to world football

What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

The biggest story in America is a president who has completely lost touch with reality. Who thinks the FBI let all the January 6 rioters into the Capitol, that he really won the 2020 election, that the Iran War is going well. Who, when occasionally confronted w reality, panics.

Farewell to the author of Distant Neighbours, the classic journalistic take on Mexico in the 1980s, unequalled since.

Bari Weiss built her entire public identity on the proposition that cancel culture was destroying American discourse. She wrote about it. She founded a publication around it. She championed the Intellectual Dark Web as brave thinkers being silenced for saying forbidden things. Scott Pelley said factually true things, without yelling, without cursing, without threatening anyone, in a staff meeting. He said Bilton had slender qualifications. He said Weiss was murdering 60 Minutes. He said these things because they are true and because saying true things in rooms where powerful people prefer comfortable silence is - per Weiss's own stated philosophy - exactly what journalists are supposed to do. She fired him. JVL names what this exposes precisely. They never wanted to end cancel culture. They wanted to control it. Some forbidden ideas - the ones MAGA likes - must be protected and platformed. Other ideas - the ones Bari Weiss dislikes - are genuinely verboten. Say them out loud and you lose your job. The Pentagon press office is now classified. Tim Miller was threatened with FARA for sharing a public news report. Comey is being prosecuted for seashells on a beach. The federal workforce faces proposed NDAs. Pelley was fired for refusing instructions to broadcast unverified assertions and then saying so in a meeting. The through line is not chaos. It is a consistent, documented project to determine who gets to speak, about what, to whom, and under whose authority. Cancel culture was never the target. It was always the tactic. Weiss just proved it by doing the thing she built her career opposing, the moment she had the power to do it.

Me dio mucho gusto acompañar a @Rox_Gtz y @angelicadelap en Radio BI, para hablar de AMLO, Sheinbaum y las amenazas de Trump @CIDE_MX @CIDE_RC

La presión de Washington es coercitiva y peligrosa. Pero Sheinbaum podría convertirla en una oportunidad y usarla para hacer, por fin, una limpieza dentro de su partido y más allá. Escribí este ensayo invitado para el @nytimes [en inglés]: nytimes.com/2026/06/05/opini…
