Joe Kent’s resignation from Trump’s national security apparatus signals more than a personal break—it exposes deep fractures within the war consensus itself. A loyal insider, not an outsider critic, Kent denounces the Iran war as built on deception, alleging manufactured threats and external pressure. His blunt language and timing suggest that dissent is surfacing unusually early, even within core security institutions. As protests grow and unease spreads, this moment points to a weakening political foundation beneath the war. Kent’s exit raises a stark question: how long can a war narrative survive once those inside it begin to openly call it a lie?
A new generation of Cuban-Americans is challenging the narrative long dominated by hardline politicians like Marco Rubio. In this personal and political reflection, Justine Medina highlights the diversity of opinions within Cuban-American families and the growing movement demanding an end to the U.S. embargo and hostile policies toward Cuba. Through the newly launched Cuban Americans for Cuba initiative and solidarity efforts like the Nuestra América convoy, activists are calling for engagement, humanitarian cooperation, and respect for Cuba’s sovereignty. Their message is clear: U.S. politicians do not speak for all Cuban-Americans—many want dialogue, dignity, and peace instead ofescalation.
Billionaire investors are intent on selling Artificial Intelligence into public schools. This is a bad idea that will add to the environmental degradation associated with water and energy hogging data centers.
Veterans For Peace issues a scathing condemnation of the U.S.–Israeli attack on Iran, calling it an illegal war of aggression built on deception and double standards. Drawing parallels with past catastrophic wars, the statement challenges official narratives, highlights violations of international and constitutional law, and warns of escalating global instability. It urges military personnel to refuse unlawful orders and calls on citizens to resist through protest and political action. Framing this moment as a turning point, the appeal links war abroad with repression at home, demanding accountability, disarmament, and a renewed commitment to peace, justice, and international solidarity.
Almost Everywhere, I notice Artificial Intelligence.
After A.I.s from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google kept recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations, Anthropic’s CEO Dario Amodei said his company would not help the U.S. surveil unwitting civilians or deploy killer drones. In response, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said contractors don’t get to tell the government how to do its job. Dario Amodei stands by his belief that the decision to kill people must remain a human one.
So in plain language, here is the actual claim: “We have no choice but to meet all electricity demands and doing so via renewable energy increases greenhouse gas emissions by a lesser amount than fossil fuels.”
Now that we have clarity on the actual claim, we can break it down. The reality is this: 1) We absolutely do have a choice because demand is politically, economically, and socially constructed, and 2) The choice between renewables and fossil fuels is a false binary, like telling a healthy person they must chose between losing an arm or a leg.
The Guatemalan government announced the termination of the medical collaboration agreement with Cuba under which Cuban health professionals worked in remote and impoverished areas of the country since 1998.
The world trembled as Bad Bunny marched onto the field at the Super Bowl, in front of millions of spectators, with flags from every country in the Americas, in a performance that, while a kick to imperialism, will only find dry dust in liberal enthusiasm. While the Puerto Rican singer fired off in Spanish, across the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba was announcing that it has run out of jet fuel.
