An analysis of ship movements shows that the Trump administration is isolating the island at one of its most vulnerable moments.

Getting rid of the need for oil is actually possible at this point. Cuba is going to need to if they want to remain independent

The US is by every indication headed straight toward war with Iran, and Trump’s ostensible opposition has conspicuously little to say about it. We’re seeing some pushback from House Democrats like Ro Khanna, but party leaders like Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer are completely missing from the scene on this issue of unparalleled urgency.

Democratic Party leaders are doing nothing to oppose Trump’s war plans for Iran because they support those plans. They just don’t want to be the ones pulling the trigger.

When the attack begins they’ll do the same thing they did with Venezuela: publicly finger-wag about rules and protocol while providing no meaningful resistance and privately being glad the empire took out another unauthorized leader.

Democratic Party empire managers love Trump. They love having a bad cop who’s willing to get his hands dirty and slit the throats that need slitting while they sit back looking pretty and fundraise off his depravity.

To distinguish between a violent mob and an entire community. To insist on responsibility without erasing belonging. To say: I am furious. I am hurt. I feel betrayed.

But I will not walk away from the Jewish people – and I will not send away a part of the Jewish people.

Hmmmmm... what if we like... applied that principle to people outside of your religion too...? Now THEN we could start getting somewhere productive! Wait never mind why we would do that, after all the Leopards Won't Eat Our Face! We have the US military to blow up all the Leopards!

Can you imagine how happy the children will be in Gaza when they are introduced to soccer? Next we should do football! I will talk to the NFL! - DJT (no not actually, /s for the record)

Damn we live in a biting satire, sometimes it just feels a little... too on the nose too soon you know? Honestly though who needs the woke, gay UN when we have Strong FIFA? They are specialists in rebuilding war torn nations and preventing armed conflict.

The disarmament of Hamas terrorists and accompanying withdrawal of Israeli troops, the size of the reconstruction fund, and the flow of humanitarian aid to the war-torn population are expected to pose significant challenges to the board's effectiveness in the coming months.

The FIFA collaboration plan includes building 50 mini-pitches near schools and residential areas in Gaza, five full-size pitches across multiple districts, a state-of-the-art FIFA academy, and a new 20,000-seat national stadium, FIFA said.

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law when he unilaterally imposed sweeping tariffs across the globe, a striking loss for the White House on an issue that has been central to the president’s foreign policy and economic agenda.

In January, a post I saw on Twitter/X shocked me.

“URGENT: As of now, I have ZERO access to any money,” Hüseyin Dogru wrote. “I can’t provide food for my family, including two newborns, due to EU sanctions.”

Dogru is a journalist, a German citizen living in Berlin.

After reading his post, I sent him a private message offering to order groceries and have them sent to his home.

The reply shocked me even more. “Unfortunately, I’m not allowed to accept any financial or material support,” Dogru wrote.

Dogru is the first European Union citizen known to be living inside the EU to face extrajudicial sanctions imposed by Brussels – robbing him of fundamental civil and humanitarian rights.

He’s also the first person to be sanctioned specifically for his reporting related to Palestine.

“I’m not allowed to exist anymore, I’m not allowed to provide my children with the basic necessities,” he explained on The Electronic Intifada Podcast this week.

“I can’t pay my rent, I can’t pay my lawyers and yes – I’m not even allowed to accept any kind of food, water or medicine whatsoever from third parties.”

Acclaimed First Nations dance company, Bangarra Dance Theatre, has made history after becoming the first Australian recipients of the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance at the Venice Biennale.
