Sixty-two years ago, on October 14, 1964, Daddy learned that he had been selected to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He was just 35 years old.
The honor recognized his leadership in the nonviolent struggle for civil rights. He accepted it on behalf of a movement whose courage and sacrifice had shown the world the power of nonviolence.
Daddy’s philosophy calls us to confront injustice, transform unjust systems and affirm the dignity of every human being. It requires courage, discipline and love in action.
Sixty-two years later, that work remains urgent. The responsibility to advance it remains ours.
We honor my father’s legacy by practicing nonviolence in our daily lives and continuing the work to create the Beloved Community.

@realDonaldTrump’s “Shield of the Americas” is built on quicksand. @LAPOP_Lab 2026: 8 of 11 presidents members of the “Shield” are under water. And trust in the US govt is lowest since 2012 (even in US “closest” allies). [NB: recent data shows Fujimori already under water too].

Daniel Ortega has forced journalist Carlos Fernando Chamorro into exile twice. But he hasn't been able to silence him.
From abroad, Chamorro and his team at Confidencial continue to investigate Nicaragua’s authoritarian regime, document its abuses, and keep independent journalism alive.
Can journalism from exile help keep the flame of freedom alive in Nicaragua?

When did you all amend the constitution to give a line item veto to the President? If you don’t like “all the waste” don’t appropriate it. #doyourjob

Fact check = True
“The more illegal immigrants we deport, the more the cost of funding government would shift to American citizens and legal residents,” explains Cato’s @David_J_Bier. A much more sensible approach is to fix the legal immigration system.

Nicaragua: Elections, no more.
Dictator Daniel Ortega announced this week that Nicaragua will no longer hold elections, making explicit what has been unfolding for years: the end of any remaining democratic path to political change.
What does this mean for Nicaragua, the region, and the international community?

"Daniel Ortega’s declaration that Nicaragua will hold no more elections does not create a dictatorship. It acknowledges one that already exists."

A lot of weeping and gnashing of teeth on the SCOTUS decision on birthright citizenship. Just as a reminder here is a direct quote from the US Constitution.
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”
Apparently the Supremes can actually read.
If you are in congress and disagree with the decision pass a constitutional amendment to change it. Whining won’t help you much.

What Nicaragua Gains From Russia’s Embrace
Nicaragua is deepening ties with Russia after signing an accord that significantly expands military cooperation through joint training and intelligence exchanges.
The agreement extends Nicaragua a possible lifeline at a time when its ideological allies, Cuba and Venezuela, are under pressure from the United States.
For Moscow and embattled President Vladimir Putin, it signals continued geopolitical reach in the Western Hemisphere. For Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega and Vice President Rosario Murillo, it reinforces a broader authoritarian survival strategy built on external alliances.
This analysis, by Steven Hendrix for Americas Quarterly, explains how Ortega is leveraging Moscow for political survival and security cooperation while reshaping Central America’s geopolitical landscape.

Maduro is gone. Cuba is under pressure. What about Nicaragua?
Well, they’re inking deals with the Russians. Interesting insight from Steve Hendrix for AQ:
