Raúl Irán Villarreal Belmont was killed yesterday in San Luis de la Paz, Guanajuato, becoming the fifth journalist killed in Mexico so far this year.

"The director of the media 'Observatorio Ciudadano' was kidnapped and found dead with signs of violence. His work denouncing corruption and local government had made him an uncomfortable figure in San Luis de la Paz."

Today in Labor History March 15, 1916: President Woodrow Wilson sent 4,800 U.S. troops across the U.S.–Mexico border to hunt down Pancho Villa. He launched expedition in retaliation for Villa’s attack on the U.S. border town of Columbus, New Mexico. The expedition lasted nearly a year and they still failed to capture him. 65 U.S. soldiers and over 250 Mexican troops died in the fighting associated with the expedition.

Trump is currently threatening the same in his witch hunt for drug cartels, by declaring them terrorists. Already sending spy drones, in violation of law.

#Canada and #Mexico can talk all day about tariffs and fight fire with fire, but if you REALLY want to get their attention? Cancel a few military contracts. Start with the #F35. Dump it. It's an incredibly expensive plane and it locks us into the American military universe. Be brave, #MarkCarney and #BillBlair, and dump it. Buy the Saab. I think we can actually trust the Swedes.

Yeah, NATO is over, when their meeting doesn't invite #mairikkka but does invite #japan and #australia, and then a French nuclear attack sub shows up in our base in #halifax.

Yup. New era. Let go of 20c, and even the 911 world order.

(Also, I didn't know anyone thought #dougford is who should be leading our #mairikkkan counterattack? He's all about him.)

#amazon and the other #broligarchs are so vile

I don't actually believe this report because I suspect all the smart speakers have been smart mic's all along, constantly recording people despite whatever agreements the company asserted.

Like, #tesla's surveillance tech has meant the company has been doing its own constant societal surveillance for years. Data says with the car, sure, but duhhhh I suspect corporate takes it too.

Canada, Europe, Mexico. Elon Musk is working hard to exempt Tesla from being harmed by President Nero's war on Canada Europe and democracy tariffs. The Invasion Tariffs.

Aim hard at President Musk's Tesla, twitter, starlink and spacex companies.
