More big news from Bolivia. Luis Arce, the current president who's been polling awfully, has withdrawn his candidacy for August's election
That leaves the MAS candidacy open. Note that Andrónico Rodríguez is still a member of the MAS and is yet to say who he will run for

Still lots of uncertainty. It's unclear which party/alliance Rodríguez and Morales will run for, or if Morales will even be allowed to run.
Meanwhile the opposition is much divided too.

Andrónico mueve el tablero electoral, acepta ser candidato
"Desde acá, queridos hermanos y hermanas, quiero expresar en respuesta a este pedido: acepto", dijo el senador Andrónico Rodríguez en Oruro.
Big news in Bolivia, where Andrónico Rodríguez, president of the senate and VP of the six tropics coca growers federation, says he will be a candidate in August's election.
That means three will be going for the MAS vote: Arce, Morales and now Rodríguez.

FPV anuncia que ‘ya no va’ el acuerdo con Evo Morales para las elecciones generales
Evo Morales's deal with Frente Para la Victoria to run in Bolivia's forthcoming elections seems to have broken down.
Morales already left the MAS, having lost control of it. There are not many siglas left that he could make a deal to run for.

In search of the ancient Amazonians who left only eerie forest islands
In Llanos de Moxos, an expanse of floodplains fringing the Bolivian rainforest, strange clumps of trees offer clues about a lost civilisation
In the middle of Bolivia’s worst fire season, I went with @umbamoxos.bsky.social to the scorched plains on edge of the Amazon, where archaeologists are drilling into the deep history of the mysterious forest islands.

A sophisticated civilisation once flourished in the Amazon basin
How the Casarabe died out remains a mystery
How many people lived in the Amazon before 1492?
It’s one of the great questions of pre-Columbian archaeology. And it turns out some pretty intensive maize farming was happening in the Amazon basin

Chief Patrol Agent - Tucson Sector @USBPChiefTCA on Twitter:
5 illegal aliens from Bangladesh, recently featured in the media, surrendered to Tucson Station agents, and have since been removed to Mexico. Whether you surrender or not, you will not be released into the United States.
This is the first time I've seen the US government return citizens of a country outside the Americas into #Mexico. That didn't even happen during Title 42. President Sheinbaum appears to have agreed to a lot.

Mexicans make Emilia Pérez parody poking fun at French stereotypes
Spoof fires back at supposed inauthenticity of Oscar-tipped screen musical with a song-and-dance tale of boulangeries at war
Mexican film-makers have put out Johanne Sacreblu, a parody of "trans gangster musical" Emilia Pérez, which is poised to win a hatful of Oscars despite going down... pretty badly in Mexico itself

Falla la encuesta de salud mental y adicciones; se rehará: Ssa
Conahcyt y Conasama la realizaron entre octubre de 2023 y mayo de 2024;
por primera vez, incluyó a personas de 12 a 75 años.
The Mexican govt has not published national data on drug use since 2016/17.
It finally did a survey in 2024, but now says it was botched and needs to be redone.
By the time it finally appears, data on drug use in Mexico might be 10 years out of date.
