There are so many contenders, but here are a few of my favorites.
1. I’m all in favor of human rights marches in Mexico, on pressuring the government for answers to the murdered students, but this march needs to look a little harder for role models:

2. I recognize that the US has a terrible track record in unsolicited Latin American political interventions, but I think it’s necessary to recognize that governments can screw up their economics (and politics) all on their own. Not everything is driven by the US. Evo Morales disagrees. He blames the recent death of the crusading prosecutor in Argentina on the US, saying it was an ambush against comrade Cristina. Here are his exact words:
“Cuando fracasan con una agresión económica a la Argentina, ahora preparan una agresión política, como una emboscada a la compañera Cristina con la muerte del fiscal”, dijo el mandatario tras repasar lo que consideró “un triunfo” de nuestro país contra los fondos buitre. Ya no pueden hacer golpes de Estado, ya no pueden dominarnos militarmente, entonces buscan otras formas de golpe, de escarmiento, de amedrentamiento, especialmente a los presidentes antiimperialistas”.
(rough translation: “After they have failed with their economic agresión against Argentina, they now are preparing political aggression with an ambush. They can no longer orchestrate coups d’etat, they can no longer dominate us militarily, so they look for other kinds of blows, such as scarcity, of fright, especially against anti-imperialist presidents.” Note to readers: simply replace the word “they” with “the United States” and you will get the gist). @viaSimonRomero
