Our government is systematically torturing the people of Cuba.

Born 25 March 1942 - singer and songwriter Aretha Franklin, the Queen of Soul, who had the 1967 US No.1 single 'Respect', and the 1968 UK No.4 single 'I Say A Little Prayer'. A cut above the rest, Aretha had the voice of an angel. She died in 2018, aged 76. #ArethaFranklin

Dogs will save us all.

Oh, this is a delight, filled with those quintessential Hitchockian verbal flourishes, observations, and anecdotes.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

A construction contract was awarded March 18, using money from the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” to build wall through the National Butterfly Center and the Santa Ana refuge, among other once-protected sites. New from Michael Gonzalez, copublished with @theborderchronicle.bsky.social:

"Thanks to opposition from inside his own party, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., was forced to delay a vote on President Donald Trump’s request to extend a major domestic spying law — but Democrats could ride to the rescue." Matt Sledge writes in @theintercept.com:

Experts say the outcome of the Prairieland "Antifa" case will give the Trump administration the green light to take a more aggressive stance against left-wing activity and further politicize the use of domestic terrorism laws. www.texasobserver.org/prairieland-...

This is what we’re paying for. America is an accomplice to genocide.

I just clued into the Afroman defamation lawsuit. Amazing. Absolutely amazing content. Actually, it surpasses mere content. It is art.

On March 13, ICE agents surrounded Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal in front of his home in Texas as he prepared to drive his children to school. The 41-year-old father, who had served alongside the 3rd Battalion of the U.S. Army Special Forces in Afghanistan, died in ICE custody the next day.

Serious question. Doesn’t our government already know who’s a citizen? The Social Security Administration, the State Department, DHS, the DMV they all have this data. In fact, the SAVE Act itself uses federal databases to verify citizenship for other parts of the bill.

Trump’s team of Epstein class advisors says it out loud more often than you’d think: “consumers are the last of our concern right now”

Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black They don't want you to be anonymous, surveillance state

How deeply ingrained is anti-Arab sentiment within western media? Israel massacred people on a beach in Beirut, and it didn't garner a shred of coverage, much less a mention. The IDF is carrying out double-tap strikes on hotels, hospitals, and residential areas with impunity. It's ethnic cleansing.

Nabatiyeh is being completely razed to the ground by the Israelis. It was one of the largest cities in South Lebanon, around 100,000 people. Now around 150 families left there. Video: www.instagram.com/p/DV0q4AbCBLB/

After killing his parents and two siblings, IDF soldiers, who ⁠pulled him out of the vehicle before beating him, shouted: “We killed dogs.” "We killed dogs."

"The Trump Administration invoked emergency powers to allow a company to restart an oil pipeline off the California coast that state officials have kept offline since it ruptured in 2015 and caused one of the worst spills in the state’s history..." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/14/c...

Anti-ICE Protesters Convicted on Terrorism Charges for Wearing All Black The war on "antifa" has begun

I read the “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Most of the media apparently *hasn’t* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

Did you see what a jury in the southern Magatonian province of Texas did recently? Seems anyone protesting anything conservative, Republican fascists do in Texas can now be charged with "supporting terrorism" for belonging to "Antifa" on that account. No freedom of speech, no protesting for them.

Breaking news: A jury convicted people who protested outside an ICE facility in Texas of providing material support to terrorists, and other charges in a closely watched case in which the gov't argued the protesters were "Antifa". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

ethnic cleanser says what?

Al Jazeera has a very good tracker of the deaths and injuries in the Iran war. It would be striking, however, if they ran a separate tally for guest workers, bc by far the most frequent victims in the Gulf states are guest workers, often from S Asia. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

In 2015 a pipeline ruptured along California's shore, spilling 450K gallons of crude oil that killed hundreds of marine animals. Now Sable Offshore Corp. wants to restart that same old, defective #pipeline — without making repairs that state regulators say it needs. Take action ➡️ bit.ly/4uryv4M

In Simi Valley, California, masked goons have once again detained a U.S. citizen, this time pulling out an assault rifle and ramming vehicle.

Fossil fuel companies paying militarized, public police departments to crack down on protesters is very grim.
