Tucson, AZ – Una vez, alguien dijo que, no hay más que dos perspectivas que existen: el lado del capitalismo y el lado del socialismo. Esas palabras profundas reverberan cuando uno vea los titulares sobre de la situación en Nicaragua. En los días siguiendo el aniversario de la Revolución Sandinista en 19 de Julio, la mayoría de la prensa controlado por las corporaciones están enfocados todavía alrededor las metas del golpe suave. Esa es la perspectiva que apoya el lado del capitalismo, de imperialismo. La prensa en los EEUU están tratando a resucitar algo muerto: los planes a sacar el gobierno del Presidente Daniel Ortega. Pero, no lo han permitido a ocurrir las masas leales Sandinistas. A decir que el golpe suave intentado por los EEUU y los compradores Nicaragüense no ha logrado es a apoyar el lado de socialismo.

Tucson, AZ – On July 16, Colombian paramilitaries with possible connections to the government murdered six social movement leaders. Two of those murdered were union leaders affiliated with the country’s largest union, FENSUAGRO, which organizes agricultural workers. They were brutally beaten to death with rocks. One of them was nearly decapitated and barely recognizable to family. These murders mark an escalation of violence against the left in Colombia since the election of Ivan Duque on June 17, as the political killings have averaged more than one a day. Ivan Duque is the protege of ex-Colombian President Uribe, who oversaw some of the worst state human rights abuses in the war against the FARC.

The people of Korea and the peace-loving peoples of the world are celebrating the four-point peace pledge between President Trump of the U.S. and the Chairman Kim Jong Un of the socialist Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK). It is a big victory for the people of Korea, who want an official end to the U.S. war in Korea, denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, and the return home of U.S. troops. Koreans hope for the unity of their historic homeland, much like the Irish and Palestinian peoples do.

Chicago, IL – To me, Ora Schub is a Palestinian. Her parents, who practiced Judaism, were born in Palestine before the founding of the settler-colonial state of Israel, so in essence, they were Palestinian Jews. And Ora took her nationality from her parents, so in my book, that makes her a Palestinian. But even if she didn't identify as one, Ora made a decision long ago to be an anti-Zionist and an anti-racist, and to join the movement in support of Palestinian self-determination, in support of the Right of Return for all Palestinian refugees and their descendants, and in support of ending Israeli colonization and occupation of all Arab lands.
