Ocean Breeze

This serene beach scene captures Holly Beach, Louisiana, nestled along the Gulf of Mexico. I last visited a couple of years ago, and the thought of returning has been on my mind ever since. Scattered along the shore are various gulls and terns, accompanied by lively sanderlings darting between the waves. While these birds add movement and charm to the scene, my true focus was the vast, rolling expanse of the gulf—an ever-changing, mesmerizing backdrop.

Maybe Claudia Sheinbaum has better political instincts than I do. My first impulse was that addressing orange man's idiotic "renaming" of the Gulf of Mexico at all made her look stupid. I hear voices however that say bullying by the U.S., even silly bullying over purely symbolic stuff, can rally nationalist fervor to her side. I guess we'll see.

"Mexico is suing Google for ignoring repeated requests not to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America for US users on its maps service, Claudia Sheinbaum has said.

The Mexican president did not say where the lawsuit had been filed. Google did not respond to the BBC's request for comment.

On Thursday, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to officially rename the Gulf for federal agencies.

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order on his first day in office in January calling for the body of water to be renamed, arguing the change was justified because the US "do most of the work there, and it's ours".

However, Sheinbaum's government contends that Trump's order applies only to the US portion of the continental shelf.

"All we want is for the decree issued by the US government to be complied with," she said, asserting that the US lacks the authority to rename the entire gulf."
