To the north of Pyongyang is a 32 sq. km. district that's kept separate and secure from the rest of the capital. The latest for #AccessDPRK examines this secret city within a city mynorthkorea.blogspot.com/2026/10/pyon...

The administration said this to the people in Iran and 40,000 were killed in the streets. While I doubt the Cuban government would do such a thing, the present US government is utterly faithless and will forget the Cuban people even exist in short order.
"To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA." - US Secretary of State Marco Rubio

BREAKING: SCOTUS rejects Trump admin's request to allow it to end gender-affirming medical care in prisons — a significant, if tentative, rejection of one of the admin's most extreme anti-trans arguments. Only Thomas and Alito noted they would have granted the stay. More to come: www.lawdork.com

Seems like my hunch was right. 30 years to build "something" underground only for it to get turned into a giant museum
North Korea’s new National Defense Revolution Museum features over 25 missile launch vehicles and 15 types of drones and naval weapons, NK Pro analysis has found, while it may be located at a suspected nuclear site in the mountains.

A Korean king ordered a bunch of linguists to come up with a written language to increase literacy due to the difficulty of chinese and they came up with one of the easiest to read languages in existence.
Happy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!
You can express power by commanding armies or by getting people to wear your shitty shoes and change their vocabulary to fit your whims. Trump is demonstrating how much power he has and just how emasculated those who comply are. It's very Louis XIV at Versailles
a sure sign that something is "highly accepted" is if you have to threaten to impose the power of the state against those who don't accept it
My latest with Radio Free Asia, a month after opening, the new Tumen River bridge connecting Russia & North Korea remains a symbolic victory rather than an economic one as traffic stays to almost zero and Russia struggles to complete facilities on its side of the river www.rfa.org/korean/in-fo...

A quick update on what's been happening with #AccessDPRK lately and a progress report on one of the most involved projects to (soon) come out from it. A Patreon exclusive: www.patreon.com/accessdprk/p...
This needs to apply to all of the "yes men" who enable blatant lawlessness. (They're the only reason any of Trump's BS happens) From the janitors, painters, social media managers to agency heads, their ability to serve in office or to ever get tax dollars/contracts again should be over.
Anyone associated with trying to tear down the Center—workers included—should be held legally liable. Whether or not he’s immune—no one else is. Make it hard to “play along.” Make it hard for “yes men.” Add a price.

There were NO major financial problems facing the Kennedy Center prior to 2025 that would require them to close. The only thing that changed, Trump. They're closing out of spite
BREAKING: The Kennedy Center board votes to close over financial woes and branding dispute with President Trump, AP sources say.
Elected officials blatantly lying to the public really should be a crime. Even the Trump propaganda rag CBS is willing to post this Pentagon IG report on the substantial munitions shortage caused by the illegal Iran war www.cbsnews.com/news/us-iran...
Trump really doesn't care that Americans die
Reporter: "Chinese entities may have provided the Iranians with satellite imagery at the air base in Jordan [where 3 soldier were killed]." Trump: "They do what we do. They basically do what we do." Reporter: "Are you going to raise that with Xi?" Trump: "I think he's behaved reasonably well."
