Raúl Hernández Romero from the butterfly sanctuary in Michoacán was murdered. He's the 2nd butterfly defender killed in MX. FYI: defending butterflies involved combatting illegal logging & deforestation which is common in this area of Michoacán. sinembargo.mx/01-02-2020/372…

Unfortunately ending the war on drugs via decriminalization is not going to be sufficient. Cartels diversified.

Anytime fascists in USA have a PR/optics problem, like for example a parade of them marching and spouting fascist slogans or when one of their fans commits a mass murder, this counter messaging inevitably emerges to explain no it’s Actually Leftists who are violent terrorists.
It’s an old tactic. In Condor propaganda from the 70’s in Argentina, the strategy was the same. Leftists were labeled as violent terrorists and targeted for extermination and right wing death squads were called “counter terrorist forces” or “hardliners” (see: a few bad apples).
It was coordinated psychological warfare against leftists by the military dictatorships who controlled the Southern Cone, there are receipts in CIA docs & NSA archives. cia.gov/library/readin… it's too bad this document is still redacted decades later but there's enough info...

Not sure how I missed this article in January but it proves what Mexican researchers have said for years. Disinformation is a global industry and PR firms and “marketing agencies” provide these services. buzzfeednews.com/article/craigs…
This is @TanyaOCarroll from IGF2016 in Guadalajara on a panel called When Death Threats Go Viral with @AlbertoEscorcia. I wrote about it January 1, 2017, the video is here and it’s good. You should watch it: link.medium.com/4oMnpg4pS3

I've been playing w/ @media_cloud and still have not figured it all out yet but I did a search for "caucus" stories from Feb 1 to Feb 5. The seed query matched 2,446 stories and spidered to collect a total ~4500. It's public if you want to play with it: topics.mediacloud.org/#/topics/3773/…
Under "influence" at the bottom you can generate a link map and download a gexf file that can be imported to gephi. So here are news stories that mentioned "caucus" in the past 5 days. Labels are scaled according to number of inlinks. I *think the Twitter node = tweet embeds.
Here's the same dataset with labels scaled by number of facebook shares. There are 615 "media sources" and I'm still trying to figure out why YouTube is so big. Maybe because the caucus was live-streamed on YouTube?

Second monarch butterfly sanctuary worker found dead in Mexico😔😢😪🖤
The body of Raúl Hernández Romero, a part-time tour guide, was found on Saturday, showing injuries possibly inflicted by a sharp object, according to prosecutors in the western state of Michoacán.
His death came just days after the body of Homero Gómez González, who managed the El Rosario monarch butterfly reserve, was discovered floating in a well with a head wound. Gómez Gonzalez had been reported missing two weeks earlier.

Vamos con un hilo de tíos extraños, duritos o simplemente peculiares que han pasado por La Liga a lo largo de los tiempos... Algunos inexplicables.
Aldo Duscher. Su comida favorita eran las tibias con peroné. Carnicero frustrado de profesión. De los que dentro del campo cortocircuitaban. Enemigo del balón.
Gonzalo Colsa. Un obrero del fútbol. Un tío que corriendo parecía que se iba a desmontar. Dentro del top 3 de futbolistas menos estéticos ever seen. Clasicazo de nuestro fútbol. Un majete con cara campechana.

¿Como se convirtió un futbolista de 16 años recién llegado de La Masía en uno de los mejores centrocampistas extranjeros que ha visto el Reino Unido desde que se creó la Premier League? La historia de @cesc4official. Dentro hilo.
1. Tras criarse en el Barça y ser el mejor jugador del Mundial sub17, Cesc aterriza en 2003 en el Arsenal de ‘Los Invencibles’. Wenger mediante, se convierte en el futbolista más joven en debutar en la historia del Arsenal y en marcar (en Copa) hasta ese momento.
2. Fàbregas llega a un equipo imbatible durante toda una competición con ídolos del calibre de Vieira, Henry, Bergkamp, Pirès, Ljunberg. Un conjunto de referentes que marcarán a toda una generación no sólo ‘gunner’, sino global. El equipo que nos hizo engancharnos a la Premier.

#94dePasión / ¡LOS 94 MÁS IMPORTANTES!

Este es un recuento de las figuras más importantes (para nosotros) que pasaron por el Club Universitario de Deportes a lo largo de sus ahora 94 años de historia.

*No es un ránking.
#94dePasión / ÁNGEL CAPPA

Campeón con Universitario en el 2002 en un torneo corto ante el clásico rival. Similar situación a la que vivimos ahora, pero con un detonante, un título.

Ángel, perteneces a nuestra historia. Contra todo y contra todos.

#94dePasión / RAÚL RUIDIAZ

10mo máximo goleador histórico del club y es de nuestra generación. 2 títulos nacionales y un torneo corto. Mundialista y con varios goles en el extranjero.

Acá, aún se te recuerda @RaulRuidiazM, el chico de las canteras, ya se hizo gigante.
