Everything to do with the USA's own Imperial Backyard. From hispanics to the originary peoples of the americas to the diasporas, South America to Central America, to the Caribbean to North America (yes, we're also there).

Post memes, art, articles, questions, anything you'd like as long as it's about Latin America. Try to tag your posts with the language used, check the tags used above for reference (and don't forget to put some lime and salt to it).

Here's a handy resource to understand some of the many, many colloquialisms we like to use across the region.

Bill Weinberg is definitely someone who constantly rags about "tankies", but the coverage from countervortex is interesting enough to keep up with especially for pieces like this

He has a podcast with the same name countervortex you can get the vibe pretty quickly, he probably has a wildly different perspective on Ukraine and the white helmets than most people on this instance, but he's also very much so pro Palestine and does some reporting you won't find in most other places and for what it's worth he's a 65 year old so he's been at this for a while.
