The shaky ceasefire in Gaza is in danger of collapsing, but the genocide of the Palestinian people has not been paused. On Feb. 25, Israeli tanks stormed Jenin, the heart of the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank, for the first time since the Second Intifada. From Donald Trump’s declarations that the US should “own” Gaza to promises to deport pro-Palestine student activists, the new administration’s intentions to accelerate the ethnic cleansing of Palestine and criminalize solidarity with P...

The average transgender man or woman in Uruguay lives to just 35 years of age. They are often ridiculed and rejected. Forced from school at far too young an age. Forced into prostitution and other dangerous jobs. But one woman has been standing up. Collette Spinetti Nuñez helped to push the passage of Latin America’s first trans law in 2018. This week, she became the first trans woman, ever, to hold a cabinet-level position in the Uruguayan government. The new leftist Frente Amplio administratio...

Three years after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, roughly 20% of the Ukrainian territory remains occupied by Russian troops.

The war has severely damaged the Ukrainian economy and the living conditions for people in Ukraine. Like everywhere else ...

As we cross the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, Russia has launched its largest drone attack in Ukraine to date, and Israeli tanks are rolling into the Occupied West Bank for the first time in decades.

Solidarity groups. It’s all free. A...
