smalldog club ☑️Black Agenda Report, or BAR.
One of my favorite sites packed with news, analysis, opinion, and high-level thinking. Plenty there about Cuba, Iran, Russia, USA, and that other one.
#sosueme for these, but I still find Twitter/X and Telegram useful for breaking news with the usual caveats. X is usually the first I check each morning to make sure the other side of the world is still there, or did they shoot that shit off already, and it's just not here yet.
