Posted By: Larry Felton Johnson March 29, 2026 On a clear sunny Saturday in downtown Smyrna, a crowd of hundreds of protestors gathered at one of four Cobb County No Kings events held in Cobb County. Protests where held in Cumberland, East Cobb, Marietta and Smyrna. As far as the Courier observed, there were no counter-protestors or hecklers at the event, and little police presence. The event was organized by Indivisible Cobb, which announced during the rally that a new group within the organization is forming in South Cobb. While there were no official crowd estimates, we would estimate the crowd reached the hundreds at its peak. The events were held nationwide to protest the policies of President Donald Trump, particularly the brutal immigration crackdown and the launch of war on Iran. In front of the Smyrna Public Library, the crowd heard brief speeches by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jason Esteves, Democratic Public Service Commission candidate Angelia Pressley, District 2 Commissioner Erick Allen, Cobb Solicitor General Makia Metzger, and District 2 school board member Becky Sayler. Afterwards the crowd lined up along South Atlanta road, forming a long line that stretched from Fuller Street on the north, to some point past

Executive Summary The Syrian Civil War remains one of the most protracted conflicts in the Middle East, with ramifications extending across regional and international theatres. Crucially, state and non-state actors have exploited prevailing instabilities to advance specific political agendas. Notable among these are Uighur militants. The de facto Syrian regime is allegedly aiming to incorporate these individuals into its developing military structure. This report assesses how the institutionalisation of Uighur fighters within the new Syrian political framework affects Chinese strategic interests in both the Levant and Central Asia. Key Points The Uighur insurgency undermines Chinese domestic security and international strategic objectives. Central Asian militant movements are incrementally expanding their operational reach beyond traditional borders. The regularisation of transnational insurgents within the Syrian state apparatus raises significant concerns regarding the reliability of the Al-Sharaa administration. Background Information The Syrian conflict represents a significant theatre within the broader Middle East that adopted a pronounced jihadist character at specific operational phases. Beyond the period of the self-styled Islamic State caliphate, which projected influence globally, various Islamic factions engaged in hostilities to secure political primacy. Ahmad al-Sharaa, formerly of al-Nusra and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), effectively neutralised the degraded army forces of the Assad

When you think of Slayyyter, a very specific image and attitude come to mind: a bratty pop diva who sings about getting “gay off that tequila.” You’re probably imagining her with a set of black shades on even while inside, a chestnut brown fur of some sort, and a standoffish, cool-girl attitude. But as her PR rep guided me into a meeting room in a random Brooklyn office building where she and her team set themselves up for a packed day of interviews, the singer was anything but that. The pop star was disarmingly kind and genuinely excited to talk about her new album, Wor$t Girl in America, which was released today. Sans sunglasses and fur, she seemed to have left the Slayyyter persona at home and arrived for the interview as Catherine Grace Garner — her real name. We met at a random office building in Brooklyn Heights and sat under harsh fluorescent lighting while we talked about her new project. Since releasing her last album Starfucker in 2023, Slayyyter went on a headlining tour of her own in addition to supporting acts like Tove Lo, Fletcher, and Kesha’s joint tour with Scissor Sisters. Even though she was touring

Executive Summary This report scrutinises the results of Tashkent Water Week 2026, during which representatives from Central Asia deliberated on the region’s water resource management challenges. Additionally, it underscores how Russia’s role in Central Asian water resource management equips Moscow with leverage to augment its influence on indigenous administrations, setting this against the backdrop of Western and Chinese competition. Key Takeaways Regional stakeholders met at Tashkent Water Week 2026 to discuss the rapid melting of glaciers, as Tajikistan announced the disappearance of over 1,000 of them. Regional stability is contingent upon the reconciliation of the “energy-agriculture” nexus, balancing the upstream hydroelectric demands of Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan against the downstream irrigation needs of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. The Russian Federation is positioning itself as a pivotal mediator and technological provider, utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital water management as geopolitical leverage to maintain regional influence. A capital-intensive investment strategy is being deployed, with Uzbekistan alone mobilising over 29 trillion sum and 1.5 billion USD in foreign investment to modernise failing hydraulic infrastructure. Information Context Evidence from Tashkent Water Week 2026 demonstrates that the regional hydrologic landscape is presently facing intense stress from human actions and climate shifts. The Tajik Minister of

Trending on Billboard Jesse Coren and Andrew Spelman, two of the co-founders of popular digital marketing company Chaotic Good, joined Billboard at South by Southwest (SXSW) on March 14 to talk about how songs go viral in 2026, and how online discourse around artists can be manipulated in their favor by companies like theirs. The conversation, hosted by Kristin Robinson, was released on Wednesday (March 25) as one of two live episodes of On the Record, Billboard’s music business podcast. The other episode, featuring Mark Cuban, can be found here. Related Coren and Spelman first decided to start Chaotic Good in February 2025 after years of working as artist managers through their company Mutual Friends (Chelsea Cutler, Alexander 23, Quinn XCII). “There’s so much pressure on the artist,” Coren says. “How much are they posting? Have they posted today? Why haven’t they posted? As managers, our job is to support the artist. For a while, we were used to throwing our hands up and thinking, ‘Well, if they’re not driving it from their page, what can we do?'” Then, after meeting digital marketing gurus Tim Weber and Adam Tarsia, the four decided to team up to create an agency that would take some of

"The executors recognize that they are, by definition, the 'grown-ups' here," reads a fiery new filing in the lengthy probate case. Paris Jackson at Vanity Fair's The 2026 Vanities Party - A Night for Young Hollywood held at Bar Marmont on March 11, 2026, in Los Angeles. Gilbert Flores/Variety Trending on Billboard The executors of Michael Jackson’s estate say Paris Jackson doesn’t have any reason to complain about their spending on the long-anticipated biopic Michael, arguing that objections lodged by the late King of Pop’s daughter “betray a complete lack of understanding about how the motion picture industry works.” Paris is fighting over finances with lawyer John Branca and A&R executive John McClain, co-executors who’ve overseen Michael’s fortune since his death in 2009. The estate is still in Los Angeles probate court, where a retired judge has been appointed to referee disputes like this one with the star’s 27-year-old daughter. Related After losing an earlier challenge to the executors’ spending, Paris’ attorneys filed an objection this fall focused on the estate’s 2021 account statements. This objection accused Branca and McClain of aiming to “enrich and aggrandize” themselves and criticized their roles as producers on the upcoming Michael biopic, including Branca’s
