Until recently, the accepted wisdom in Mexico was that Mexico’s economy is simply too integrated with the US and Canada’s and too dependent on the US for it to be able to join the BRICS.

Fast forward to today, and President Sheinbaum has just announced that her government will be participating as an observer in the 17th annual meeting of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro on July 6-7.

Things picked-up a little yesterday with two donations totaling $45, bringing our daily average up a little to $42.50. Still far below the the $81 per day we need to reach our goal of raising $2,500 this month. All we need is two donations a day for roughly $40 each to reach and maintain that average.

This brings our total, through the first four days of the month, up to $170

Progress Summary:
Total Raised: $170
Daily Average: $42.50

So we can look forward to that soon, both farm animals and humans will be controlled in the same way.

"American contractors guarding aid distribution sites in Gaza are using live ammunition and stun grenades as hungry Palestinians scramble for food, according to accounts and videos obtained by The Associated Press.

Two U.S. contractors, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because they were revealing their employers’ internal operations, said they were coming forward because they were disturbed by what they considered dangerous and irresponsible practices. They said the security staff hired were often unqualified, unvetted, heavily armed and seemed to have an open license to do whatever they wished.

They said their colleagues regularly lobbed stun grenades and pepper spray in the direction of the Palestinians. One contractor said bullets were fired in all directions — in the air, into the ground and at times toward the Palestinians, recalling at least one instance where he thought someone had been hit.

“There are innocent people being hurt. Badly. Needlessly,” the contractor said."

There’s roughly 565 billionaires in the United States, the most anywhere in the world. Their $ value is somewhere in the $6 trillion range.

If Uncle Sam taxed them just one penny on the dollar, the annual tax would be about $60 billion dollars.

They wouldn’t miss it.

Once a person earns $1B, then they are automatically taxed a billionaire tax $0.01.
No loopholes! They can pay other taxes too. The $0.01 tax stays.

It’s the least they can do for society. $60B a year can help so many people!

wasn't expecting to have an ActivityPub UI dream but just woke up from a sequence in which I was able to generate a new blog post (not a note) in response to a note -- like a longform reply that automatically posted to the blog itself. thought this was neat.

so for each note, you'd have the option to reply as a note or reply as a new post.

I guess this is what happens when your platform doesn't give you a lot of room to write your posts, you're forced to come up with weird solutions.

A new UN report exposes the global infrastructure behind Israel’s genocide. UN expert Francesca Albanese names over 60 corporations—including Amazon, Microsoft, Caterpillar, Booking.com, and Maersk—as profiting from and enabling the extermination of Palestinians.

Cartoon by Carlos Latuff.

Theft is the restitution, the regaining of possession. Instead of being cloistered in a factory, like in a penal colony; instead of begging for what I had a right to, I preferred to rebel and fight my enemy face to face by making war on the rich, by attacking their goods.

Man I had the most craziest dream last night that came out of the blue from nowhere. Dreamt I was in the hospital for some reason.

In Japan.

And I only speak and understand maybe 5-10 words of Japanese.

It was every bit as crazy as you'd think.

I just like woke up. And I was in a hospital room. In Japan.

And there was a vending machine in the room too. (Not one of those kinky or beer vending machines, but a normal one.)

Very strange.
