Mexico has elected Claudia Sheinbaum as president. She’s an environmental scientist, a feminist and she’s Jewish.
She’s also anti-Zionist, which has led to a bunch of idiots on twitter saying she isn’t really Jewish. The evidence? She thanked Jesus in her acceptance speech.
…Her husband is called Jesús.
She was thanking her husband.
Edit: An update on this one folks. Reading a lot of what Mexicans have written in the notes, there’s a whole lot to criticise about Claudia Sheinbaum.
While that doesn’t change anything about idiots on twitter invalidating her Jewishness, the top of this post was far too complimentary.

—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico? Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico.
—To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery.
—Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento.
—Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.
