Mexico Independence Day 2025 - On this day in 1810, a priest rang the church bells in the town of Dolores, delivering a powerful speech known as the Grito de Dolores, or the "Cry of Dolores." This historic call to action urged Mexicans to rise against foreign rule. The fight for freedom lasted for over a decade, officially ending in 1821.
Mexicans celebrate their independence throughout the entire month, a period known as Mes Patrio (Month of the Homeland).

The Importance of Mushrooms in Forest Ecosystems. (Desplacese hacia abajo para ver la versión en espanol) Mushrooms are far more than just the toadstools we see growing on the forest floor. They are the visible part of an enormous underground network of fungi that are essential to the health and sustainability of forests.

The rallying Mexican peso is set to slip in the coming months after a temporary freeze on U.S. tariff hikes against other countries expires next week.
This would end a run-up that brought the currency to its strongest in almost a year last quarter following a sharp drop due to trade concerns at the end of 2024.

The year 2025 has ushered in a new era of trade tensions, with the United States imposing significant tariffs on imports from its North American neighbors, Canada and Mexico. These actions have sent ripples of uncertainty throughout the global economy, particularly casting a long shadow over Mexico. As the United States' largest trading partner, Mexico stands to suffer considerably from these protectionist measures.

Another Mango Mussollini's government's brain fart. US will impose 21% tariff on Mexican tomatoes starting in July.
Mexico is the largest source of US farm imports, including tomatoes, berries, and vegetables, with 98% of its tomato exports going to the US last year.

Somewhere at Estato de Mexico at 2700+ meter elevation, the sun is shining and it is f*cking cold! It does not take away from the tranquil surrounding and laid-back lifestyle around the Mazahua people.

The Sinaloa Cartel, once the dominant organized crime group in Mexico, is turning on itself.
This is just another notch along the downward spiral of the Sinaloa Cartel since the arrest of El Chapo years back.

Following its discovery in the 70s, the Cantarell oil field enabled Mexico to become a major oil producer.

Being a woman in Mexico is tough—if not dangerous. Women earn 16% less than men, and the gender gap in labor force participation is one of the highest in Latin America. But perhaps the most shocking statistic is that every hour, at least one woman disappears, and every day, 11 women die violently.

Femicides skyrocketed 137 percent in Mexico from 2015 to 2020.
At least 10 women and girls are killed every day in the country although pretty much all statistics relating to femicides are presumed to be underestimates given that many crimes go unreported or are reported as regular homicides.
Tens of thousands of women are missing.
