From Cuba’s dissidents to the global communists who’ve suddenly descended on the island: “We’re not a theme park. Go do your ideological tourism elsewhere. Here we are suffering.”

Apparently, the Persian Gulf is providing a real-time test of the notion that the A-10 is so imprecise that it couldn't hit the broad side of Utah.
They're hunting and killing speedboats in the Gulf, which means they most certainly can hunt and kill tanks.
This loitering, monitoring, and prosecuting mission is something the F-35 certainly can't do, while the Warthog can.
The death of the A-10 has not only been exaggerated, trying to kill it seems to have been a massive mistake.

The assault against Mexican civil society organizations -and democracy itself- that started with Lopez Obrador in 2018 continues apace. Now Mexico's tax authority has revoked the tax deductible status of scores of NGOs and watchdogs which coincidentally happen to question or criticize the government's public policies.

Reverse Butterfield effect:
In spite of raising the hotel taxes tourism keeps dropping in Chicago

Why are all these LW influencers in Cuba? If you read @thestustustudio @CityJournal you already know.

Old Montréal and Old Québec City are deadlocked after two days of head-to-head voting in the Canada bracket to crown North America’s best walkable neighborhood.

Aldi runs profitable grocery stores with fresh produce, meat, and dairy sections in some of the poorest neighborhoods of Kansas City, including one where a nonprofit grocer subsidized by the city to fight food deserts recently failed. Aldi is the best solution to food deserts we have, poor cities should be making puppy eyes at Aldi.
@Cuauhtemoc_1521 Todavía en los 70s me tocó ver una persona en el mercado de Mixcoac leyendo y mecanografiando cartas para gente que no podía leer y escribir
Español
Sabías que aquellos que escribían y leían cartas, correspondencia de personas que no sabían leer o escribir, se les llamaba evangelistas? Ellos fueron un eslabón básico en las comunicaciones de siglos pasados, pues leían las cartas de amor, las que compartían malas noticias así como el desamor; las que avisaban de temas legales. También fueron los responsables de escribir las respuestas, usando machotes o trasladando al papel los sentimientos y “el decir” de las personas. Estos evangelistas se establecieron en los portales de Santo Domingo, en la CDMX desde al menos el siglo XVIII. Fue común verlos en locales cercanos a plazas y plazuelas de las ciudades. Magnífica fotografía de finales del siglo XIX.

Excellent piece (in Spanish) on the rage Cubans feel at foreign, usually leftish political and journalistic "tourists" battening off the misery of the ordinary Cuban people.

Ahora resulta que, en medio de la crisis histórica que el régimen enfrenta, son los cubanos los únicos que podrían salvar Cuba, a modo de justicia histórica. revistaelestornudo.com/cuba-tanto-de-…

Some things are true even when said by AOC
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC
This is sad. I know as a politician these companies are going to spend a billion dollars against me for saying it but 🤷🏽♀️ Pervasive gambling is not good for society. It turns life into a casino, traps people in addiction & debt, surges domestic violence, and fosters manipulation.

One of the enduring problems with Iran - apart from its status as the 'resurrection ship' for jihadis - is its longstanding missile & nuclear tech relationship with North Korea. Even if you are intervention sceptical, these threats cannot be wished away.
Max Abrahms@MaxAbrahms
Iran’s leaders are too dumb to realize they just reinforced the case for war against them.

@robertwrighter @brett_mcgurk So then intervention justified?

Speaks for itself:
Feb. 25, 2026: “We are not developing long-range missiles… we have limited the range below 2,000 kilometers” — Iran’s FM Araghchi (IRNA).
March 20, 2026: Iran fires missiles at Diego Garcia—ranging 4,000 kilometers (WSJ). ⬇️
English
No way they thought this would actually succeed, so I suspect the point of it was to scare Europe into staying out it.
OSINTtechnical@Osinttechnical
Iran fired a pair of intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK base in the Indian Ocean. One missile failed in flight, and another was engaged by a US Navy destroyer using an SM-3 missile.
