As the United States staggers toward the 2026 mid-term elections, desperation has overwhelmed the White House with the prospect of losing Republican majorities in Congress. As multiple crises spin out of control—exacerbated by the administration’s own doing—support for the party is falling.Voter suppression is not an alien concept in the United States. Trump’s version is just its latest iteration. Invariably, Black political participation is threatened in every election.

The mass movement in Brazil took a discredited PT electoral campaign—which focused on selling an idealized image of the country, at odds with the reality of a Brazil facing enormous social and economic problems such as inflation, underemployment, and a lack of prospects—and transformed it into a direct repudiation of the far right.

Rosa Pepper-Macias, a socialist and Workers’ Voice member running for a state senate seat in Connecticut, starts with a simple question: If workers would never let the boss run their union, why let the bosses run their politics? We spoke about workplace retaliation, the Democratic Party, the limits of electoral reform, and what it would take to build a workers’ party with real muscle.

All over the United States, grassroots opposition is growing against expanding mass surveillance, data center construction, and the ongoing crackdowns on immigrants and democratic rights. Technologies like Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) face opposition in town and city halls around the country. Community members from all walks of life are organizing networks to raise awareness about ICE activities in their neighborhoods. After a year of ICE and CBP violently occupying and terrorizing working-class communities from coast to coast, the call to “abolish ICE” is being raised by even some mainstream Democratic Party politicians.

Outrage has swept across the United States and around the world in response to the emergence of the details of a horrific gang rape in a frat house at Cornell, one of the country’s most prestigious academic institutions. A short week later, almost on the other side of the country in Arizona, the story broke […]

Puerto Rico is of financial and military importance as a colony to the U.S. imperial core. There is an immensely tight grip around the archipelago because it is an outpost for the Caribbean, giving the U.S. greater ability to pursue its imperialist domination in the rest of Latin America and the globe. Just as reformist policies will do nothing for Boricuas against Esencia, the U.S. will not grant or negotiate the freedom of its subjects unless a counterforce is mobilized to seize what is needed and break Borikén’s colonial chains.

Unlike Flávio Bolsonaro, who seeks to fully subordinate Brazil to Trump’s interests, and unlike Lula—whose vision of sovereignty is limited to selling off Brazil’s natural wealth to the highest bidder (whether to Chinese or U.S. imperialism)—the PSTU advocates for sovereignty rooted in the interests of the working class.

From the 16th to the 18th of September, Iquitos is on strike, demanding a resolution to the gas price crisis, an end to destructive mining, and better internet connectivity.

Stunning electoral news has come from a district that has been served by the same Democratic state senator since the early 1990s. An independent socialist candidate is not just in the running for Connecticut’s District 11 seat; they have made the ballot.

The SOCIALIST WORKERS’ LEAGUE is a Trotskyist political current aspiring to become the Peruvian section of the IWL-FI. A handful of men and women from various regions of the country are organizing, determined to build the liberation tool that the workers and oppressed of Peru and the world need to free ourselves from the capitalist-imperialist yoke. With this supreme objective, we are giving birth to a new internationalist national organization, rooted in the need to contribute to resolving the crisis of global revolutionary leadership faced by workers and revolutionaries in Peru and around the world.

Parts of the metropolitan area of Puerto Rico have experienced interruptions in drinking water service to their homes and businesses since the month of June. The threat of rationing has loomed over residents of the towns of Loíza and Canóvanas, while previous breakdowns in various areas were pushed to the back burner. Before the Superaqueduct broke, residents of Miraflores and Santurce had been without water for months, relying on water tankers and draining their personal finances.

An earthquake is a sudden, abrupt natural movement caused by the release of energy accumulated in tectonic plates. The Earth’s movement is natural and, to a certain extent, unpredictable. But it is not natural for buildings to collapse as a result of that movement. If they collapse, it is because they are poorly constructed or have not been properly maintained. Nor is it natural for people to die under the rubble because fire and rescue departments are insufficient and poorly equipped, because they live in regions without roads such as Chocó, or because the collapsed building is a hospital.

The growing number of democratic socialists in office is one small expression of the broader discontent and desire for major reform; but can the Democratic Party really be a vehicle for radical change?
