Claudia Sheinbaum made history when she became Mexico’s first woman president — and the first of Jewish heritage. But on the night of September 15, she made history again. Standing on the Palacio Nacional balcony, clad in white, royal purple and gold, flanked by an all-female military honor guard and wearing a sash created for her by female military officers, she gripped the bell rope and, as required of the ritual, shouted. Normally soft-spoken and measured, the tone was a shift for the climate scientist, who visibly trembled under the weight of the task, but not as big a shift as what she shouted:
“¡Mexicanas! ¡Mexicanos!”
The inclusion of the feminine “Mexicanas,” and naming them FIRST matters.

Yea I can’t imagine why anyone thought this dipshit was defending rape…I mean aside from the over half a dozen posts where he defended rape as “not immoral”, literally said “No. In fact, the word "rape"…didn't even exist until the 1800s.” and arguing that being “owned”* wasn’t “horrific”
Complete mystery why people went after him, must be some weird BlueSky thing. 😂

But the bulletproof door,
opened electronically by a hidden push button,
