Women In Power Or Power-Hungry Women?

September 23, 2026 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. Educate! Claudia Sheinbaum, Delcy Rodriguez, Latin America, Media, Rosario Murillo, Women

Women who attain political power are often judged by the US-aligned corporate press not simply by what they do but by how politically acceptable they are. This is evident in the strikingly different media treatment of three Latin American leaders, all lifelong leftists, raising the question of how relations with the US shape media judgments of political legitimacy. The Guardian’s profile of Venezuela’s Acting President Delcy Rodríguez acknowledges that she is a “pragmatic, witty and intelligent workaholic” who worked her way up the ranks. But the take-home message of the hatchet-job by author Tom Phillips is that she is a “belligerent, power-hungry chameleon…responsible for Venezuela’s slide into poverty and dictatorship.”

Western Activism And The Axis Of Resistance

September 23, 2026 Roberta Rivolta, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Axis of Resistance, Genocide, International Solidarity, Palestine, Yemen

When, on 13 October 2025, Hamas was dragged into signing an agreement that neither "Israel" nor the United States intended to respect, a large portion of the Western pro-Palestinian movement registered it as a victory of its own, given that in the previous month millions of citizens had taken to the streets waving Palestinian flags. Soon, however, it became evident that the treaty, predictably, was not at all aimed at ending the conflict. Rather, it was essentially designed to remove it from the global public eye and, even more significantly, to delegitimize the support Palestine was receiving from its regional allies.

The Urgency Of Recognizing The Ansar Allah Government In Yemen

September 23, 2026 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, World Beyond War. Educate! Ansarallah, Saudi Arabia, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

The Trump administration came perilously close to launching another bombing campaign against Yemen this weekend. According to a September 20 New York Times report, US commanders had approved their targets, American troops were loading bombs onto warplanes, and an attack on Yemen’s Ansar Allah forces was about to begin when President Trump abruptly reversed course. For two weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had been pleading with Trump to intervene as Ansar Allah (Houthi) forces swept through Saudi-backed forces’ positions along Yemen’s Red Sea coast. Trump initially resisted, but after another urgent call from the Saudi crown prince, he instructed the Pentagon to prepare for airstrikes.

The Strategic Decline Of The US Armed Forces (Parts I And II)

September 23, 2026 Sergio Rodriguez Gelfenstein, Workers World. Educate! Fascism, Pentagon, Pete Hegseth, US military

In October of last year, I wrote an article in which I highlighted the internal problems plaguing the U.S. Armed Forces. At that time, I emphasized those doctrinal elements where disagreements were evident among the Pentagon’s political and military leaders — particularly regarding the new defense strategy drafted by the Trump administration. In that article, I noted that the viewpoint of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth — who has asserted that the focus of U.S. military concerns should be on confronting and defeating internal threats — is met with resistance from the Armed Forces’ high command, as a significant number of generals and admirals believed the secretary was downplaying U.S. competition with China and diminishing the country’s role in Europe and other regions of the world.

Trump’s Unconscionable United Nations Rant

September 23, 2026 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. Educate! Artificial Intelligence (AI), Donald Trump, United Nations, Wars and Militarism

Donald Trump just delivered probably the most bombastic, ignorant, aggressive and outrageous speech to the rest of the world from the podium of the U.N. General Assembly in the 81-year history of the United Nations. I covered 25 U.N. general debates from inside U.N. headquarters in New York as a correspondent based there and I have never seen anything like it, including Trump’s previous six U.N. addresses. He began on Tuesday by beating his chest proclaiming himself king of the world: “Our economy is the envy of the world. Our military is the most powerful on earth. Our technology is second to none and we are leading in virtually everything. Our energy is fueling the planet. America is rising.

20 Years Since Hugo Chávez’s Speech At The United Nations

September 23, 2026 Carlos Ron, BreakThrough News. Educate! Bolivarian Revolution, Hugo Chavez, United Nations, US Imperialism

On September 20, 2006, Hugo Chávez stepped up to the granite podium of the United Nations General Assembly. A day earlier, from that exact same spot, the President of the United States, George W. Bush, had spoken. Chávez crossed himself, said that the room still smelled of sulphur, and the hall burst into laughter and applause. It was not the speech Chávez had originally intended to give, but rather the direct result of the deep indignation caused by hearing Bush speak as if he owned the world. The major media of the North latched onto the sulphur phrase and have tried to caricature it.

The Far Right Is Waging A ‘Holy War’ In Latin America

September 23, 2026 Álvaro García Linera, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Far Right, Fascism, Latin America, Neoliberalism

A reactionary wave is sweeping across the Latin American continent. With the exception of Mexico and Brazil—the region’s two powers—as well as Uruguay and Guatemala, the remaining countries have seen authoritarian far-right governments claim electoral victories. They have done so by narrow margins, yet they hold power and give voice to a mood of resentment and anti-egalitarian political aggression among a segment of the population. We are not dealing with the traditional liberal right that characterized the triumphant neoliberalism of the 1980s.

Trump’s Colonial Ultimatum To Canada

September 23, 2026 C. J. Atkins, People's World. Educate! Canada, Sovereignty, Trade, Trump Administration

When Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney walked away from the negotiating table with Donald Trump on the night of Aug. 21, it was because U.S. negotiators had slapped down a list of demands that read less like a trade agreement proposal and more like a colonial surrender treaty. Read individually, each item comes off as one more entry in the typical corporate wish list that accompanies any U.S. trade negotiation. Added together, though, they amount to something bigger: a demand that Canada hand over its economic sovereignty—control of its own resources, its own culture, its own foreign policy, and its own industrial base—to a foreign power.

Trump Administration Boots 760K Individuals From ACA Exchanges

September 23, 2026 Chris Walker, Truthout. Educate! Affordable Care Act, Exchanges, Health Insurance, Trump Administration

Vice President J.D. Vance and Mehmet Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, jointly announced on Tuesday a plan by the Trump administration to cancel coverage for hundreds of thousands of individuals and families currently enrolled in insurance exchanges within the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The administration will cancel around 315,000 ACA health plans, which provide health insurance coverage for approximately 760,000 people in the U.S. Both Vance and Oz allege that the plan targets people whose applications neglected to include required information on their applications. Some enrollees may have been added to the ACA — sometimes known as Obamacare — without their knowledge, the pair also alleged.

Other Countries Are Not To Blame For High Drug Prices

September 23, 2026 Brandon Novick, Center for Economic and Policy Research. Educate! Big Pharma, Drug Prices, Pfizer, Trump Administration

The Trump administration is colluding with drug companies to blame other countries for high drug prices rather than the undeniable cause: corporate greed and patent monopolies. Public Citizen recently published redacted versions of the deals the Trump administration struck with Pfizer and Eli Lilly to lower certain drug prices for Americans. However, these deals are incredibly limited and unlikely to affect what most Americans pay for their medicines. One unredacted provision of the deal with Pfizer provided a notable revelation: “Pfizer agrees to share with HHS … [a] portion of the net increased net revenue that Pfizer realizes from sales of the ex-U.S. version of Covered Products resulting from increased net prices of such ex-U.S. version of Covered Products.”

Video Game Workers Win First Contract At Microsoft-Owned Blizzard

September 23, 2026 Dan DiMaggio, Labor Notes. Resist! Blizzard, California, Unions, Worker Rights

Workers who make some of the world’s most popular video games, including World of Warcraft and Diablo, won their first union contracts in early September, in an important step forward for organizing in the tech industry. The 1,900 workers are employed by Blizzard, which was acquired by Microsoft in 2023 in the largest deal ever in the video game industry. Their new Communications Workers (CWA) contracts include recall rights and guaranteed severance packages for laid-off workers—significant wins, since tech and video game workers have seen waves of layoffs in the last few years.

How To Combat Fear At The Polls This November

September 23, 2026 Eileen Flanagan, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! Elections, Nonviolence Training, Violence, Voting Rights

The forces of authoritarianism want us to feel knocked off center by the many ways they are trying to keep people from voting. Trump administration officials continue to suggest that ICE, FBI or other federal agents could be sent to polling places. It’s important that election volunteers and voters stay grounded to avoid playing into their hands. One danger is that fearful voters will just stay home, whether or not the administration carries out their threats. Another danger is that we resist any government interference in ways that increase the chaos, which Trump would use to bolster his narrative that the left is the real threat.

Global Network Response To Trump’s ‘Weapons In Space’ Declaration

September 22, 2026 Bruce Gagnon, Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. Educate! Pentagon Budget, Space, Trump Administration, weapons

The disclosure by US Secretary of the Air Force Troy Meink that the US has deployed space weapons in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) confirmed what many had always thought and is a consequence of the competition between the USA and Russia-China over access to LEO. Whoever controls the increasingly limited parking spaces in LEO will be at a considerable advantage and will be able to see and direct weapons not only to targets in space but also on the Earth. Elon Musk is being paid to fill up LEO with military satellites as fast as possible for the US.

Weapons In Space

September 22, 2026 Karl Grossman, Counter Punch. Educate! International Law, Militarization, Space, United States, weapons

“U.S. says for 1st time it now has weapons in space” was the headline last week in USA Today. The subhead: “Air Force Secretary Troy Meink became the first U.S. official to publicly announce that the military has deployed weapons to space.” The article Tuesday began: “The U.S. has confirmed in a landmark revelation that the nation has deployed operational weapons in space.” It was news that swept the world. The headline in the British newspaper, The Guardian: “U.S. confirms for first time it has deployed weapons in space.” The subhead: “Analysts warn of an acceleration in high-risk arms race with Russia and China in Earth’s orbit.”

Collaboration, Not Confrontation: Xi Jinping’s Visit To The United States

September 22, 2026 Vijay Prashad, BreakThrough News. Strategize! China, Cooperation, Foreign Relations, Peaace, United States, Xi Jinping

President Xi Jinping is set to visit to the United States from September 23-25. His visit must be understood as more than an encounter between two heads of state, but it must be seen as an encounter between two possible futures. In one future, the United States imposes a spiral of confrontation against China. Trade disputes harden into economic warfare, then economic warfare intensifies into technological blockades, technological blockades produce military encirclement, and finally military encirclement creates incidents, and incidents the danger of becoming an unimaginable war.
