Murder Most Foul

BIRDCAGE has been out for 6 months!

"What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" was released on 3 June 1966 on Motown's "Soul" label.

James Dean, Paul Riser, and William Witherspoon, wrote the song for The Spinners, but Jimmy Ruffin (whose 3 previous singles had struggled to find an audience) persuaded them to let him record it instead.

June 3, 1931: Birthday of Comrade Raúl Castro.

Congratulations, Army General. Your dedication to #Cuba, to the Party, and to the Revolution is an example for our people who admire, respect, and appreciate you. #95DeRaúl #RaúlEsRaúl

Baltimore: No War on Cuba - Film Screening, Speakers & Discussion

Saturday, May 6 - 6 pm to 8 pm

Baltimore Teachers Union Hall, 5800 Metro Dr. #200, Baltimore, MD 21215

Don’t miss this urgent conversation. Hear from:

— Joyce Butler (Baltimore teacher, BTU union member, long-time activist with Peoples Power Assembly)

— Natalie Baeva (Baltimore teacher, BTU union member, fighting to get ICE out of the city)

We will screen MAESTRA – the powerful documentary on Cuba’s 1961 literacy campaign, told by the young women who eradicated illiteracy in rural communities. Their story is a testament to what Cuba has achieved—and what is now under direct threat.

We are facing a critical moment. With rising war threats against Cuba—including a U.S. aircraft carrier stalking the island and new indictments targeting Raúl Castro—we cannot afford to stay on the sidelines. Time is short, and action is needed NOW.
