Incumbent US President Joe Biden has had to modify his entire campaign strategy in order to avoid frequent disruptions of campaign events by pro-Palestinian protesters.
The movement for Palestine is holding US politicians accountable in ways only seen in the mass anti-war movements of the past.

#PeoplesHistory | On this day, we honor Gabriel García Márquez - the revolutionary Colombian writer whose captivating magical realism exposed the harsh realities of Latin American life under US imperialism and capitalist exploitation.
As a bold voice for the oppressed, Gabo's spellbinding stories like One Hundred Years of Solitude transported readers into his birthplace's magical yet brutalized world - shining a light on the violence, inequality, and interventionism inflicted by Yankee hegemony.
A committed socialist, García Márquez defied the imperialist narrative, giving literary life to the spirits and struggles of the wretched of the earth. His gifts revealed unvarnished truths about oligarchic repression, US neo-colonial plunder, and the indomitable resistance of the Global South.

On Wednesday, Yemen’s Ansar Allah group claimed it targeted another commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden. The news reports later confirmed that at least three crew members of the Liberia-owned and Barbados-flagged bulk carrier True Confidence were killed and four others were wounded in the strike.
These are the first casualties reported since Ansar Allah launched strikes on the ships heading to Israel in the region in support of Palestinians in Gaza on November 19 last year.

#BREAKING | In a stunning verdict, Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras backed by the US, has been convicted of drug trafficking charges in New York City.
This guilty ruling exposes the rot of US imperialism, enabling narco-regimes like Hernández's while hypocritically waging a militarized "war on drugs" to impose hegemony over Latin America.
Hernández stands accused of turning Honduras into a narco-state. He came to power in #Honduras in 2013 in the aftermath of the 2009 US-backed coup against democratically-elected President Manuel Zelaya.
