Gulf states refuse to be launching pad for any US attacks against Iran
In response to the Gulf states' ban, the US has amassed B-2 bombers at Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean, the official said. This is not the first time American war planners leaned on Diego Garcia’s strategic position as an alternative to Gulf air bases. During the late 1990s, when the US was bombing Saddam Hussein’s Iraq and Saudi Arabia imposed a freeze, the US used the Chagos Islands base as a launchpad.

Panama in Turmoil: Nationwide Protests Erupt Against President Mulino’s Policies
The protest, taking place in an environment of growing social tension, was called by various unions that have initiated a 48-hour strike in opposition to controversial Law 462, related to the Social Security Fund (CSS). The mobilization not only focuses on the mentioned law but also rejects the reopening of a Canadian-owned mine, whose operations were suspended by courts in 2023, as well as the construction of a reservoir in the Indio River area.

Trump administration celebrates rise in self-deportations: ‘We’re seeing sky-high levels of reverse migration’
By losing their legal status, many migrants will find themselves without work, and some may want to return to their home countries. However, the majority will likely remain in the United States despite their fears. Lawyers caution that the decision to leave voluntarily should be carefully weighed, as the official narrative surrounding a potential return may be misleading.

Musk and his affiliated groups sunk $21 million into flipping the Wisconsin Supreme Court to conservative control, only to see his candidate defeated by 10 percentage points on Tuesday. The losing margin was four points larger than that of the only other Republican on the same statewide ballot, who was not tied to Musk’s money.

California just blew a deadline for voter-approved health care measure

Celebrate the New People’s Army on its 56th Anniversary!
The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) greets the New People’s Army (NPA) on its 56th Anniversary on March 29, 2025. For almost six decades, the NPA has fought eight bureaucrat-capitalist, pro-imperialist and landlord-controlled regimes, exemplifying the Filipino people’s spirit of courage and determination for democracy and independence. In the tradition of the Katipunan, the NPA started as a small, poorly-armed force in 1969. But with the support of the oppressed and exploited Filipino people, it grew into a force so formidable that the semi-colonial and semi-feudal ruling state considered it the number one threat to its power.

With Section 230 Repeal, Dems and Media Offer Trump New Censorship Tools
In a move that threatens to constrain online communication, congressional Democrats are partnering with their Republican counterparts to repeal a niche but crucial internet law. According to tech trade publication the Information (3/21/25), Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.) has allied with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) to reintroduce a bill that would repeal Section 230, a provision of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. Section 230 dictates that when unlawful speech occurs online, the only party responsible is the speaker, not the hosting website or app or any party that shared the content in question. Section 230 grants platforms the ability to moderate without shouldering legal liability, a power that has historically had the effect of encouraging judicious content management (Techdirt, 6/23/20). Additionally, it indemnifies ordinary internet users against most civil suits for actions like forwarding email, sharing photos or videos, or hosting online reviews. Dissolving the provision would reassign legal responsibility to websites and third parties, empowering a Trump-helmed federal government to force online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech. While the ostensible purpose of the repeal, according to Durbin, is to “protect kids online,” it’s far more likely to give the Trump White House carte blanche to advance its ultra-reactionary political agenda.

Statement of the Central Committee of the RCF(B) for the third anniversary of the “special military operation”
The third anniversary of the "special military operation" finds Russian society in the conditions of an ongoing imperialist confrontation, which not only has not weakened the position of big capital, but has also contributed to its strengthening. Despite the declared "clash of civilizations", trade relations between Russia and the EU countries are maintained, and the fortune of Russian billionaires is demonstrating record growth. At the same time, workers are facing unprecedented pressure: a growing debt burden, worsening working conditions and a decline in living standards. The RCYL (b) notes the natural nature of the processes from the point of view of the development of the imperialist system. As world experience shows, military conflicts and armistices are only different forms of inter-imperialist competition, while temporary alliances and "armistices" between imperialists are extremely unstable and are often dictated by the economic interests of the ruling elites.

People were furious with the Zionist for enabling a genocide, attacking democratic rights and journalism.
>With Section 230 Repeal, Dems and Media Offer Trump New Censorship Tools
Now People will get even angrier because the Zionists are also fucking with the internet.
Even people who previously didn't care about what happens in far away lands will now be given reason to oppose Zionism.

The political lesson we are learning is that freedom of speech has been violated unless there's proof that censorship is not possible.
