Trump is hosting a summit with a select group of Caribbean and Latin American leaders — entitled “Shield of the Americas” — who are fans of his aggressive interventionism, his so-called “war on narcoterror,” and his administration’s attacks on left-wing governments and movements in the region.
They killed 180 children and their teachers in a double-tap strike on a school. The girls were 7 to 12 years old.
Oil and Gas markets are still very slow to react.
At some point the market is going to have to change its current assessment that this is a short sharp 10 day war.
The war is Lengthening. And Widening.

Where do oil prices go now that Iran counterattacks w missiles all across the Gulf.
A literal trillion dollar question

Gig workers in Africa helped train AI systems for a company that performed work for a secretive U.S. military unit. Many were never told their work could be used for military purposes https://restofworld.org/2026/gig-workers-us-military-appen/?utm_campaign=row-social&utm_source=bluesky
It seems like in this piece the young women are actually grappling with what having kids means, and the men like the idea of flattering themselves with the concept
like, "do you want them enough to actually co-parent with me"?

Fossil fuel stocks are exploding in response to the war on Iran.

Hard to overstate how bad things have gotten in French politics. A far-right party founded by Holocaust deniers is using the death of a young militant to dress themselves up as anti-extreme, while the far-left makes their job easier by deploying repeated anti-semitic dog whistles.
I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change
I can’t help but remember that an attempted regime change in Tehran was like the fantasy position of the fringiest group in Dick Cheney’s Circle 20 years ago

Even Mexicans can benefit from reading Dawn and Alexander.

A good roundup of English language analysis on Mexico, CJNG and El Mencho.
I recommend it if you want something that isn’t just not yellow journalism but that goes beyond both state propaganda, natsec truisms and even the standard “did you know the Cartel’s guns come from the US?” 101 stuff.
