Er... You dreamt that you were Frida Kahlo in a thunderstorm?
I like that she’s armed, & with plenty of ammo too. BTW, in Greek Mythology, Zeus is the god of lightning, thunder and rain; so it’s all very Jovian, in a tempestuous sort of way.
Since we’re on a Mexican theme, I’ll report on the Good News in that country, in my Jehovah’s Witness sort of way:

It seems that the Zapatistas down in Chiapas are getting uppity again. They’re backing an indigenous woman as an independent candidate for President of Mexico. The ruling class of the country simply hate that idea, and are doing all they can to stop her short of murder (so far).
Whether she makes a dent or not in electoral politics, this seems like a serious movement that offers a real alternative to neoliberal dog poop, and that probably isn’t going away. And it’s not just for indigenous people; they’re inviting others to join them; if I were Mexican I would do so. In the fullness of time, this might wind up really changing things down there, very likely for the better.
I wish the indigenous people up here would do something like this, but apparently we killed too many of them for that to be feasible. At least it’s happening somewhere. With a little luck, maybe it’ll spread.

Well this is good news. Also no I wasn't Frida in that dream, but it did involve hallucinated storms, and I did have a rifle. Thing is in my dreams I sometimes am armed,...but no ammo. never any ammo ever.
This is a message.
Still glad to hear the original folks are taking matters into their own hands. The ruling families the cartel bosses need to get the Aztec treatment. 'Course this means marching the lot of them up them long steep steps to the top of the pyramids. This for the ceremonial removal of the heads, and or other assorted parts.
However well worth the effort.
Univision will cover it live. The Anglo press will no doubt shy away from people's justice. Final justice is by tradition messy. I can understand the Hippie revolutionaries not especially being into that sort of thing. Then again if they had we might be better off now.
Like cowboys used to say, "...there some that just need shoot'n."

Actually I think they’re quite peaceful so far. They have their communities policed by numerous unarmed locals who make it difficult for narco or corporations to move in & take over like in other regions. One reason I think this might work as a political force in the long term is because their model of operation is apparently based in the way the Indio's run their towns and villages, rather than a crackpot utopian blueprint dreamed up by some grandiose European prophet. Also, it’s anti-capitalist and based on a sane relationship to nature. So it’s probably good.

...sounds good to me.
Especially the part about not buying into some Euro-Crackpot ideo-deity. I think we've had enough of that sort of thing for a while.
People should just eat drink heavily dance fuck, and sleep till noon.
This sounds like a plan.
