🔴 ÚLTIMA HORA | Paloma Valencia competirá en la primera vuelta de las elecciones presidenciales. La senadora del Centro Democrático ha ganado la Gran Consulta, el mecanismo interpartidista en el que compitieron nueve aspirantes #EleccionesColombia2026 dozz.es/q0brsb

Como era de esperar, el nuevo "Escudo de las Américas" domina muchas de las portadas de la #prensa #latinoamericana hoy. Cabe destacar que #Brasil, #Colombia, #Cuba, #México y #Venezuela no fueron invitados a la cumbre. ¿Será porque #EE.UU planea una #intervenciónmilitar en algunos de esos países?

@thejerusalempost.bsky.social says that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has dropped ~6500 bombs on #Iran, and that Israel "has #killed thousands of Iranian regime forces". Is IDF being hyperbolic, or has @aljazeera.com not a complete count of casualties? (Forget here about innocent #civilians!)..

Several (world) #newspapers put this image on the front page in their Sunday edition. Almost absent from U.S. front pages, though. A U.S. #president in a baseball cap - from his own store ! - at a ceremony for fallen U.S. #soldiers? @leahmcelrath.bsky.social @shashj.bsky.social @numb.comfortab.ly

30 years ago, the movie "Wag the Dog" told the story of a US President that started a fake war to distract the country from the fact that he SA'd a child. www.youtube.com/watch?v=steA...

We are lucky to have @johnbuss.bsky.social to comment on politics. Thanks for your great work, John!

WH "has billed the summit as the founding of the "Americas Counter Cartel Coalition" which they described as a new #military partnership with leaders in the region... the " #ShieldOfTheAmericas" will have Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem as its special envoy", says @news.dw.com #LatinAmerica

Any answer the Pentagon might have given to this question would have spoken volumes😞 Answer 1: Yes, we used AI to select the school as a bombing target = WE IRRESPONSIBLY USED AN IMMATURE TECHNOLOGY Answer 2: No, we did not use AI = WE MADE MISTAKES Answer 3: We don't know = WE ARE INCOMPETENT

"A la cumbre asistieron...Javier Milei, ...Daniel Noboa...Nayib Bukele...También acudieron los presidentes de Bolivia, Costa Rica, República Dominicana, Honduras, Panamá, Paraguay, Guyana y Trinidad y Tobago, así como al presidente electo de Chile, José Antonio Kast."

" #Iran is run by #lunatics – #religious #fanatic lunatics." - Marco Rubio, 3 March 2026. Strange that not more of MSM (also worldwide) has picked up on this issue - on their front pages. Sadly, @dailystar.co.uk blew a huge opportunity here! @julieroys.bsky.social @clittlefield.bsky.social

Now on @aljazeera.com: 'Chaos', 3rd and final ep of the 2025 French documentary series "Latin America: So Far From God, So Close To The United States". Ep looks at "How the US reacted to the rise of Latin America’s left". Series is more relevant than ever. @artefr.bsky.social @artepro.bsky.social

"We call on all #Christians to join us in greater acts of courage to resist the #injustices and #anti-democratic danger sweeping across the nation. In moments like this, silence is not #neutrality—it is an active choice to permit harm." @sigridrg.bsky.social @kristeligt-dagblad.dk @dagen.se

This is very cool indeed. Thanks for posting this, Dean! Perhaps a bit unexpected. The Adventists have historically not been very enthusiastic about #LiberationTheology, or am I wrong? @spectrumadventist.bsky.social @orbisbooks.bsky.social @ncronline.bsky.social @thomasreesesj.bsky.social

Since the start of 2025, Democrats have racked up wins in special elections for state legislative seats, giving the party hope for the midterm elections.

According to @frontlinedefenders.bsky.social: "On 2 March 2026, woman human rights defender and feminist Yanar Mohammed was killed in an armed attack at her residence in northern Baghdad." In 2016, she received the Rafto Prize for Human Rights. www.rafto.no/en/news/the-...

I mean...😬😬😬

Immigration is not a problem that can be fixed, because *it is not a problem*! Immigration is a desirable process that can be managed well or badly— not “solved.” As long as people don’t see this…

Rutte has absolutely no right to set himself up as spokesperson for "Europe". He may feel a bizarre need to keep his "Daddy" happy. But he most certainly does NOT speak for me!

"it is vital that #universities are aware of their responsibility to contribute to cultural #change, with interculturality being a central issue for the country’s comprehensive development", writes the former rector of PUC #Chile for @uniworldnews.bsky.social @coimbragroup.bsky.social @eua.eu

Sounds familiar..

While other papers take a distinct, different approach to the attack on Iran. The front page of Jerusalem Post is telling - on so many levels...

World press is reacting to the U.S-Israel bombing of Iran. The Argentinean @pagina12ok.bsky.social says one is "knocking on the gates of hell". @politiken.dk warns that the "consequences are unpredictable". @elperiodico.com says "and now...Iran". @tagesspiegel.de writes "New war in the Middle East".

"Political soldiers don’t think for themselves. They follow their leader, obedient to his every word. The leader is not bound by laws. As Hermann Goering put it: “Hitler is the law.” Any attempt to question the leader or the new order is ruthlessly crushed, for there is only one truth [social]"...

"Reporting from Tehran, Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi said there has so far been no official confirmation of Khamenei’s killing from Tehran." The reports of Khamenei’s killing might well be true, but did @npr.org have any other sources but Trump and Netanyahu when they decided to publish this???

"There is no flag large enough to cover the shame [nor the crime] of killing innocent people." -- Howard Zinn, @zinndigital.bsky.social

"The Paramount offer includes financing from three Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds -- those of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi -- which could also attract extra scrutiny on national security concerns", writes @en.france24.com.

"Trump's old post contradicts his actions. Earlier in 2013, Trump had predicted that then-President Barack Obama would attack Iran over failed negotiations."

U.S.-Israeli strikes have killed more than 200 people in Iran, a spokesman for the Iranian Red Crescent said Saturday night local time. Another 747 have been injured. apnews.com/live/live-up...

"Impunity has become the standard. In #Ukraine, #Russia targets journalists. #Sudan is nearly impossible for professional reporters...In #Mexico – the second-most deadly country for journalists after #Palestine – reporters are hunted down by criminal organisations", writes @janinedigi.bsky.social.

Absolutely superb, as usual, by @johnbuss.bsky.social.

"Presidents demonstrate their highest effectiveness when they employ moral persuasion instead of coercion to persuade the nation of their objectives and aspirations", wrote Joshua Longmire in a timely piece for the #FordLeadershipForum in January. #MoralAuthority #EthicsInPolitics

Of my 43 years, I spent 18 in Mexico. Soon it will be the country where I have lived most of my life. I love it here; I love the people, the culture, life in general. Seeing Mexico, my friends and colleagues, going through a crisis like yesterday - it hurts and it worries me.
