The U.S. has demonstrated that for all its military technology and infrastructure, it is not able to project power decisively in the Middle East anymore, even against states with minimal military backing from imperialist powers. The international geopolitical calculus that presumed U.S. military superiority around the world has been destroyed, and the U.S. military will be flat-footed in its responses to challenges going forward as it tries to overcome the very public munitions deficit that it just created itself.

During the campaign, we witnessed Abelardo’s sexist and homophobic remarks: crude references to his genitals, derogatory treatment of female journalists, disparagement of gay candidates, and the cultivation of an “alpha male” image as a model of power. This wasn’t just a show. It reflects a deeply entrenched ideology that reduces women to reproductive roles and attacks sexual diversity, making it impossible for him to govern equitably. His statements and campaign promises, as well as the appointment of Vivian Morales to the education portfolio, allow us to anticipate policies that will render our demands—and those of the LGBTQIA+ community—invisible.

We must consider the phenomenon of migration within the context of human history, and particularly within the context of the capitalist system. It is a system of colonization and plunder that makes survival impossible for millions of people in their homelands, especially in Africa. In light of this, defending the right to migrate becomes a moral obligation and an act of remembrance for the entire working class, particularly in Spain. We must also bear in mind that the preservation of the rights and freedoms won in Europe is partly built upon the colonization and exploitation of peoples under imperialism.

Across the country, the movement against new data centers continues to grow. Every day, in the streets and in town halls, people are speaking out against their construction. July 18 saw 142 protests in 42 states opposing data centers, with most being in Texas.

As elections rapidly approach in Israel, the Zionist regime is continuing its unchecked rampage through a significant portion of the Middle East. Israel has killed over 1200 people in Gaza since the supposed “ceasefire” was announced in October 2025. As of late, there has been a renewed offensive by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, setting the Palestinian territory on fire. Then there is Lebanon. Israel has continued to hold on to the southern part of the country with an iron grip, building a Gaza-style “yellow line” and demolishing homes. Israel also has invaded Syria, expanding beyond the part of the country it has illegally occupied since the 1960s and demolishing civilian homes.

During the World Cup, following posts on social media and an article published by The Washington Post that stated there are no Black players in the Argentinian national team, in addition to various instances of racism in soccer stadiums, the idea began to spread that all Argentinians are racist because they "don't have Black people." Firstly, it must be said that racism exists in Argentina and it is quite prevalent. Second, there are in fact Afro-descendant and Indigenous people in the country who have been fighting for many years against racism, invisibility, and government policies that promote the supposed "Europeanization" of Argentina. This article seeks to answer the following question: Does the narrative claiming that Argentinians are all white and racist actually helping combat racism?

India’s youth rebellion 
The following article was written on 24th of July before the education minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced his resignation. As of today, the 25th of July, the education minister has tendered his resignation. However, the protests continue around the remaining demands of the CJP. The protests launched by the so-called Cockroach Janata Party were […]

A peculiar movement arose in India, seemingly out of nowhere.  The presiding Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant, commented that the youth of the country are ‘cockroaches’. Soon after, there was an outpouring of rage on social media, mostly among the youth. The ‘cockroach’ became an unlikely symbol of opposition for the enraged youth of India. The youth’s anger is real, its issues are real, the question remains however, as to how real the CJP is.

On Monday, July 6, the town council of Windsor, Conn., voted against bringing back Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) cameras owned by Flock Group Inc. The vote represents a small but meaningful advance for the movement against surveillance and state repression, which includes similar victories in some 90 towns and cities across the U.S. Community leaders are now organizing to make the most of this advance by continuing and expanding campaigns against surveillance in Windsor and Connecticut.

On April 17, President Trump signed a memorandum of understanding that, among other things, established a ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, and guaranteed that Iran would allow ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz without charging any fees for sixty days. In exchange, U.S. forces suspended the blockade of Iranian ports and the sanctions on Iran’s oil exports. This memorandum favored Iran and reflects the failure of the aggression. However, Trump seeks to reverse that defeat, and the resumption of aggression may deepen it.

In the crosshairs are all of the targets of National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, virtually everyone that is not an unmovable supporter of the Trump regime. Agents of repression in these cases include everyone from private investigators, university administrators, local police, and the “Feds.” Swept up as victims of so-called “lawfare” are students, teachers, and workers from many backgrounds.

Pakistan is shaken by protests in Kashmir. Since the end of 2025, Pakistan Occupied Kashmir has witnessed popular mobilizations under the banner of the Joint Action Awami Committee (JAAC). These protests put the Pakistani state to task against its broken promises of liberating Kashmir from Indian occupation, while intensifying the exploitation of the part of Kashmir it controls. This webinar will help shed light on the issues at the heart of the struggle of the Kashmiri people, how they shape the ongoing struggle in India and in Pakistan. Speakers from Mehnatkash Tehreek, Labour Quami Movement Pakistan, and Mazdoor Inquilab.

Salgado’s family is calling for an independent probe into his killing. The demand has been backed by civil liberties and immigrants’ rights groups. So far, federal authorities have refused to consider the demand. Meanwhile, Houston’s Mayor John Whitmire has declined to seek a city-led investigation. On July 8, over a thousand protesters marched in Houston to protest the killing of Lorenzo Salgado and to demand justice. The march was organized by the civil rights group FIEL Houston and by the Party for Socialism and Liberation. It began at the Canal Street site of Salgado’s killing, where a memorial of flowers and candles had been set up. “This is the exact spot that Lorenzo took his final breath,” Cesar Espinosa, executive director of FIEL Houston, told the protesters. “And in the spirit of solidarity, I don’t know about you, but I say, if they come for one of us, they come for all of us.” Signs held by the demonstrators demanded “ICE out of Houston” and “Abolish ICE!”

7 July 2026 The trends and counter-trends in the global situation are calling into question the analyses (or lack thereof) of the entire global Left regarding its understanding of reality. And the issue of Cuba stands out as a qualitative factor—a new turning point—for the period ahead. Trump, following the agreement that temporarily ended the […]

NATO is an international counter-revolutionary apparatus created to defend the imperialist-capitalist order against the revolutionary struggle of the working class. It is a military-political instrument constructed by the bourgeoisie to suppress working-class organization, socialist movements, and national liberation struggles throughout the world. The fact that NATO neither dissolved nor diminished after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, despite the disappearance of its alleged enemy, but instead expanded continuously, demonstrates that its true function has never been “defense against communism.” Its real purpose has always been the global defense of the capitalist order and imperialist hegemony. Today, the struggle against NATO is not merely a matter of foreign policy. It is an inseparable part of defending the democratic rights of the working class, trade union freedoms, and the struggle for social emancipation. Against imperialist wars, against the clandestine machinery of the state, against capitalist barbarism, the genuine alternative is the independent, united, socialist struggle of the international working class.
