While Argentina's Milei and El Salvador's Bukele wear their conservative ideology on their sleeves, Mexico's right-wing opposition is so weak that politicians within it struggle to identify themselves with the term "right-wing".

A tough topic to explore in Mexico is how cartels and organized crime move money around.

This @404media.co story confirms the obvious: millions of cartel dollars are laundered between 🇺🇸, 🇲🇽 and 🇨🇴 using cryptocurrency, specifically Tether.

Interesting to think that it is the US president-elect, rather than the media doomsayers, who seems to understand how important Mexican cooperation is to his country's future. I've written about Mexico's negotiating Trump cards for @time-magazine.bsky.social :

There are many reasons for Mexico to worry about a President Trump. But it has considerable leverage and both countries need good ties.

Mexico has an entrepreneurial army of about 3 million catalog sellers nationwide.

Six out of 10 of these sellers are adding Shein and Temu to their offering —and inadvertently contributing to the slow demise of the catalog industry.
