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 🧵

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

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.

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]:

How sad. Persepolis is a great graphic novel, perhaps the greatest.

[Narges Mohammadi | نرگس محمدی @nargesfnd]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Franco-Iranian artist, filmmaker, and author of the internationally celebrated graphic novel Persepolis who died at the age of 56.

Marjane Satrapi was a fearless voice for feminism, human rights, and freedom. Through her work and public engagement, she consistently advocated for women’s rights, standing in solidarity with the people of Iran and amplifying the message of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement on the global stage.

According to a statement from her family, Marjane Satrapi “died of sadness” a little more than a year after the passing of her husband, Mattias Ripa, a producer, actor, and screenwriter, who died on April 8, 2025.

Marjane Satrapi leaves behind a powerful cultural, artistic, and moral legacy. Her courage will continue to resonate far beyond her lifetime.

En el CIDE, hice mi tesis en un cubículo casi frente a su oficina. Cuando me quedaba hasta tarde escribiendo, se acercaba a mi lugar a darme ánimos, a darme su opinión y a regalarme dulces. No lo aprecié como debí hacerlo en su momento. Generoso y noble siempre, descanse en paz.

[Alma Maldonado @almaldo2]

Me parece que ahora hay que pasar de la tristeza a la exigencia de justicia por el crimen de Raúl Pacheco-Vega, según lo consigna esta nota. No puede ser un asesinato más que queda impune en este miserable país. Ir hasta a las últimas consecuencias.

As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.

[Lost In Film @LostInFilm]

Paolo Sorrentino’s cinema, much like his characters, always navigates between contemplative melancholy and hedonistic joy.

To celebrate his 56th birthday, we’ve put together this visual tribute through the magic of 'The Great Beauty', 'The Hand of God', and ‘Parthenope’ 🇮🇹✨
