Este viernes voy a rodar desde la Ciudad de México hasta Acapulco- un día, 400 km, 5000 metros de subida y temperaturas de 40 grados. Necesito todas las porras y música inspiradora posible. Me regalan links a playlist y canción en este hilo por favor!
A 16 year old boy, Alexander Martinez, was murdered by municipal police in Oaxaca, Mexico. This is how his soccer teammates bid farewell to him.

The Mexican Government erected an enormous wall in front of its national palace to prevent feminists from protesting on International Women’s Day. Within one day the wall was painted with the names of 1000’s of women who have been victims of gender motivated murder in Mexico.
Twenty five chefs came together to prepare Christmas paella 🥘 for the migrant exodus in Tijuana. 1600 pounds of meat, 800 pounds of rice, 400 pounds of olive oil, and a whole lot of love and solidarity.

Thousands of women in the main plaza of Mexico City joined an international call to perform "A rapist in your path" created by Las Tesis in protest of soldiers who raped protestors in Chile and the patriarchy in general. Similar actions took place in Bolivia, Colombia & Spain.
Disenchanted by the political system, activists, artists, ordinary citizens and even journalists voted for the 100,000+ disappeared people in Mexico by writing their names on the ballots. This ballot is by the artist Grabiel Gráfica.

Here’s today’s edition of Mexican feminists are badass. This is a wall the government erected to keep them away from the National Palace m. They asked why does the government protect their property and monuments more than the lives of women, of whom 10 are killed everyday.
The collapse of Mexico City's metro that took 23 lives is infuriating. This subway line(12) was inaugurated in 2012 to provide service to 1/2 million working class people. It closed 2014-2015 for structural problems & in 2017 was damaged in earthquake but unclear if was repaired.

My heads still spinning from 7.1 earthquake felt across Mexico - epicenter in Oaxaca. One of our main fears during earthquakes in Mexico City are the power lines exploding - fortunately these didn’t fall down but they surely looked like they might.

The protest also went to the México City District Attorneys office where they broke windows & entered closed offices. They painted graffiti demanding

Escamilla. In Mexico City her boyfriend murdered her, skinned her body, removed her organs and a newspaper published a leaked photo of her corpse on cover. Yet another clear example of how society, the state & the press perpetuate these brutal femicides of women.

This is Mexico City's busiest subway station on March 30, 2020. It shows the level of effectiveness of a government telling people "Stay at Home", where an estimated 50 million live at poverty level , 60% work in informal sector & there are no immediate economic measures to help.

If you had any doubt that some lives are worth more than others, 10 nahuatl indigenous musicians were just ambushed & incinerated near Chilapa, Guerrero. When same thing happened to the Lebaron family in Sonora it was int'l news. The massacre has barely made headlines in Mexico
Women in Mexico are fed the fuck up with being murdered and disappeared and are taking over Human Rights commissions all over the country, in protest of inaction. This has occured in Mexico City, Mexico State, Michoacán, Puebla, Veracruz and other states. Photo

They were film students and went to film a short in Jalisco and were kidnapped when they were on the outskirts of the large metropolitan city of Guadalajara. The government did not respond swiftly to search for them and has now declared that they were killed by criminals.

If I am ever disappeared, and the same government that didn't search for me in first place says I was dissolved in acid w/out genetic proof, please don't pay tribute to me on twitter. Keep searching for me and thousands of others that were taken from us.
#NoSomosTresSomosTodxs
These are the covers of today's newspapers in Mexico. Only two have top headlines about the film students, both reaffirming the government's declarations, even though there is still no scientific proof that Javier, Marco and Daniel were really dissolved in acid.
In 3.5 years, the Mexican government has not found these 43 missing students. They have tried to close case saying there bodies were reduced to ashes which cannot be identified. Surely they will try to do the same with Jalisco students based on genetic profiles found in acid.
Journalism should be a way of life but for many in Mexico it’s a way of death. In 2018 alone, six of our colleagues have been assassinated. How much longer will these murders keep happening? When will we stop receiving death threats? When will censorship be a thing of the past?
43 estudiantes fueron desaparecidos hace 5 años. Desde entonces sus padres iniciaron una búsqueda incansable. Yo les acompañé como periodista y ahora les presento el resultado de años de entrevistas, dibujados en mi novela gráfica:

A horrible tragedy just occurred in Chiapas, Mexico. A trailer carrying a group of migrants flipped over and at least 49 people have died and 34 are injured. Dozens of graphic photos are circulating which I will not share here out of respect for their lives.
In Mexico people are using the

to remind us of the wrongly named "war on drugs" that has been waged in Mexico on the general population and how enforced disappearances, murders, femicides and corruption have ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
Mexico’s Supreme Court just decriminalized abortion on a federal level. This is a huge victory thanks to all those who have struggled for decades for our right to control our own bodies.
