BREAKING: Iran’s negotiating delegation is now walking out of the Switzerland talks in protest of Trump’s new threat to “hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week, only harder,” with talks now fully suspended, per Tasnim.
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf, who heads the Iranian negotiating team, has also personally responded saying “we don’t take American threats seriously” and warns “our armed forces are ready to give them an answer in a different way.”
“When the moment comes to choose between comfort and conscience, choose conscience.”
Pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil delivered a speech to Stanford graduates at a "People's Commencement" Sunday after their mass walkout during graduation.
The graduates' walkout occurred during Google CEO Sundar Pichai's commencement speech, as a protest against the tech company's contracts with the IDF, CBP, and ICE.
Khalil, who was detained last year by ICE for over three months for his role as lead negotiator at Columbia University's Gaza Solidarity Encampments, urged the students to keep building the movement for Palestine, assuring them, "History remembers those who speak up."
This year marked the third People’s Commencement at Stanford, organized by students and activist groups.
This’s Cuba and there’s no electricity. This's a hospital running on bare minimum power in Cuba.
The U.S is starving millions of people in Cuba. The U.S. is laying siege cruelly cut off all fuel and humanitarian aid, power is out, leaving hospitals without electricity. Dialysis patients, babies in NICU, and others will die.
Food is rotting. Water pumps stopped working. Systems are breaking down, strangled by the US fuel chokehold.
This's a criminal act of collective punishment, it's a blatant violation of international law, This’s a crime against humanity.
We should be speaking out loudly in the international community: U.S. military action against Cuba is illegal and unacceptable.
Put an end to U.S. impunity before it takes another sovereign country into chaos.
For days, Bolivia has been in a state of full-on revolt. Broad social discontent has brought the country to a halt and stoked mass resistance to the larger project of U.S-aligned, right-wing attacks on workers and social movements in Latin America. https://t.co/z6mmcYwT1M
A massive crowd assembled in La Paz’s working class twin city, El Alto, to demand Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz resign
Indigenous-led demonstrations come as the Bolivian regime was caught preparing to launch a US-backed operation to kidnap Evo Morales with 2,000+ troops & cops
EEUU ordenó al gobierno de Rodrigo Paz ejecutar una operación militar, con el apoyo de la DEA y el Comando Sur norteamericano, para detenerme o matarme.
Entre los impulsores de esa acción están el exministro de Gobierno de Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada -que fugó a Miami luego de la Masacre de Octubre Negro (2003)- Carlos “Zorro” Sánchez Berzaín; y el Viceministro de Defensa Social, Ernesto Justiniano, que se encuentra en Washington.
Previo a eso, el gobierno aplica una intensa campaña de difamación, insultos y acusaciones sin pruebas, con el asesoramiento de extranjeros expertos en guerra sucia y fake news (noticias falsas), como el argentino Fernando Cerimedo enviado a Bolivia por el derechista Javier Milei y cuyas operaciones sucias ya fueron reveladas por periodistas bolivianos honestos.
Se encuentran en el Trópico:
Novena División de Ejército: Comandante Cnl. Franz Andrade Loza. El gobierno le prometió ascenderlo a general y nombrarle comandante de las FFAA si acaba con Evo.
El F-10 dependiente del Comandante en Jefe de las FFAA (Gral. Víctor Hugo Balderrama), al mando del Tte. Cnel. Carlos Giménez Ortuño, ex ayudante del ministro de Defensa de Jeanine Añez, Fernando López.
El CITE (unidad militar de paracaidistas) comandado por el Tte. Cnel. Santiestevan, que estuvo encarcelado por las masacres del régimen de Añez en Sacaba y Senkata.
El CIE 298 (Compañía de Inteligencia del Ejercito) cuyos miembros entrenaron en Cotapachi para ejecutar la operación en el Trópico.
Francotiradores de F-10 del Regimiento Ranger de Challapata.
Desde el Batallón Ingavi VII Sajama, fueron enviados decenas de militares, entre coroneles mayores, capitanes, tenientes y suboficiales.
Los militares bolivianos estarán bajo el mando de marines norteamericanos y agentes de la DEA paraguayos, a quienes no les importa masacrar a hermanos y hermanas que residen en el Trópico.
African Liberation Day is a product of African people’s struggle for true liberation from all forms of domination through political, military, and economic means. ALD is a reminder and marker of our struggle against all forms of imperialism, from colonialism to neocolonialism.
Here is the complete architecture of how you keep a poor country poor while convincing its educated class that this is their own fault:
Step one: During colonialism, extract capital, destroy domestic industry, structure the economy around export of raw materials.
Step two: Grant formal independence while maintaining the economic structure, the debt obligations, the currency arrangements, and the trade relationships established under colonialism.
Step three: When the economy underperforms, as it must, being structurally designed for extraction, not development, offer loans conditional on policies that deepen the existing structure.
Step four: Train the country's economists in Western universities where the theories taught do not acknowledge steps one through three as economically relevant.
Step five: Staff international institutions and domestic finance ministries with these economists.
Step six: When the policies fail, attribute failure to cultural factors, corruption, and weak institutions.
Step seven: Publish a report with recommendations.
Step eight: Return to step three.
The machine runs on its own now.
The colonial administrator retired.
The indebted finance minister presenting his structural adjustment plan to the IMF board doesn't think of himself as administering colonialism.
He has a PhD from LSE.
He genuinely believes the model.
This is not a conspiracy.
It is an education system.
IN MEMORIAM |
Thousands gathered to lay to rest Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer, 38, whose tragic killing has shaken South FL & the Haitian community.
An endowment has been launched to honor her legacy & support her family. She’ll be remembered for her service & impact •
🇨🇺 They call it “sanctions.” Cubans in their own words call it what it is.
Hospitals running on fumes. Fuel lines stretching for blocks in 30-degree heat. Families sleeping in the dark — not because Cuba can’t pay, but because Washington has made sure no one will sell (beyond Russian emergency shipments).
RTVI’s cameras just showed the world what an energy blockade looks like from the inside. The real version — dark streets, empty fridges, and ordinary people on camera telling you exactly what life under American “democracy promotion” feels like.
Simple and brutal collective punishment.
Washington doesn’t cut off a regime. It cuts off a people and then wonders why they’re angry.
The embargo is attempting to work as designed — not to free Cubans, but to break them until they beg for a different government. Not liberation but siege warfare.
But as always, the miscalculation is the unifying effect of anger. Siege warfare hardens the besieged. You don’t break a people into submission by making them suffer together... you temper them. Rome knew this. Washington apparently doesn’t.
In 1910, Black Americans owned approximately 16 million acres of farmland.
By the end of the 20th century, nearly 90% of that land was gone.
This was not a coincidence. It was not laziness. It was not market failure.
It was policy.
Black farmers were denied bank loans, crop insurance, and federal assistance routinely given to white farmers.
Land was seized through tax manipulation, fraudulent contracts, forced partition sales, racial terror, and USDA discrimination.
When crops failed, white farmers received federal relief. Black farmers were often told to wait until foreclosure came first.
Between 1920 and 1997 alone, Black farmers lost more than 12 million acres.
This was one of the largest land dispossessions in American history, and it happened without headlines.
Land builds wealth. Land builds inheritance. Land builds power.
Take the land, you take the future.
This is not ancient history. Its economic effects are still visible today.
"....we focus on defeating this war against our people. This requires not merely exposing the contradictions of U.S.-led imperialism, but turning imperialist wars on our people into peoples’ war against imperialism..."

Nancy Metayer Bowen (1987–2026) was a prominent Haitian-American politician and environmental scientist who served as the Vice Mayor of Coral Springs, Florida. At the time of her death on April 1, 2026, she was regarded as a rising star in Florida politics and was reportedly preparing to announce a run for the U.S. House of Representatives.
On April 1, 2026, Nancy Metayer Bowen was found dead in her home in Coral Springs following what authorities described as a domestic violence incident. Her husband, Stephen Bowen, was arrested and charged with premeditated murder and tampering with evidence. Her death occurred just months after the suicide of her brother, Donovan, for whom she had recently launched a mental health awareness fund.
This is one of the many reasons why we advocate.: https://t.co/26BkxScNCb

38 yr old Haitian-American Vice Mayor of Coral Springs, FL Nancy Metayer Bowen was tragically murdered.
Bowen was the 1st Black woman elected to her city’s commission focusing on community health and environmental equity into local governance.
She was shot by her husband.
This is not just a tragic loss, but the devastating reality of gendered violence, one that took a Black woman leader, a Haitian daughter of the diaspora, and public servant whose presence was deeply meaningful.
Holding her family, loved ones, and the Haitian community of Broward in my thoughts🕊️ RIP💔 https://t.co/783GId7ULU

WEEK OF ACTION IN DEFENSE OF CUBA BEGINS MARCH 13!
For 60+ years, the U.S. blockade of Cuba has been a weapon of war—designed to strangle a revolution and punish a people who dared to defy empire.
From Brooklyn to Harlem: Hands off Cuba! End the Blockade!
Drone strikes operated by Vectus Global, the private military company led by Blackwater founder and major Trump donor Eric Prince, in coordination with Haitian security forces, have killed at least 1,243 people and injured 738 in the year since Vectus contracted with Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council (CPT) to fight criminal gangs and help reform the country’s tax collection system.
Quadcopters strapped with explosives targeting densely populated parts of Port-au-Prince between March 1, 2025 and January 21 of this year killed 17 children and 43 adults not believed to be affiliated with criminal groups, Tuesday’s report from Human Rights Watch stated, noting that the frequency of drone strikes in and around the capital has “significantly increased” in recent months.
“Dozens of ordinary people, including many children, have been killed and injured in these lethal drone operations,” HRW’s Americas director Juanita Goebertus said in a statement. “Haitian authorities should urgently rein in the security forces and private contractors working for them before more children die.”
The details of Vectus Global’s 10-year contract with Haiti’s CPT, revealed in August, remain murky. Haitian authorities only publicly acknowledged the involvement of Vectus mercenaries in anti-gang operations in the country in January, though their mercenaries have been on the ground in the capital since as early as March 2025.
Prince founded Vectus Global following the 2010 sale of his private military company Blackwater Worldwide, which gained global notoriety after its contractors perpetrated the Nisour Square massacre of 17 Iraqi civilians in Baghdad in 2007.
