#PeoplesHistory | Today is the death anniversary of Mexican revolutionary artist Frida Kahlo. A feminist, communist, and activist, Kahlo lived a life of resistance against capitalist and patriarchal systems.

Today, Frida stands as a revolutionary icon whose legacy continues to inspire countless artists.

#PeoplesHistory | Today marks one of history's most pivotal events: the storming of the Bastille fortress in Paris on July 14, 1789. A crowd of Parisians stormed this notorious prison, a powerful symbol of the absolute monarchy's tyranny, in a dramatic display of public anger and discontent.

This attack marked, for many, the explosive start of the French Revolution. Reflecting on that revolution, the young Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels called it “the most colossal revolution that history has ever known,” noting it “gave rise to ideas which led beyond the ideas of the entire old world order” and ultimately “gave rise to the communist idea, the idea of the new world order.”

Disastrous flash flooding in Central Texas in the beginning of July left at least 121 people dead. The floods now rank among the deadliest natural disasters for children in the US in recent decades.

Organizers in Texas have raised over 14,000 dollars for relief efforts and condemned local officials for failing to implement measures to prepare and warn residents of flooding

Peoples Dispatch spoke to one of these socialist organizers in Texas, Rachel Domond, who described why she is not afraid to attach the label “socialist” to disaster relief efforts. “This is conservative Trump country we’re talking about, but it’s in situations like these in which we have a real opportunity to be on the ground with people across race and political affiliation. We can’t leave these moments to the Charlie Kirks of the world, who want to blame DEI, rather than the whole system, for this devastation.”

In a series of quiet diplomatic overtures, the US has approached governments across the continent with proposals to host deportees, including individuals with alleged criminal convictions.

The Trump administration has opened a new front in its hardline immigration policy, pushing several African countries to accept deported migrants from the United States, many of whom are not nationals of the countries they would be sent to.

🇵🇸 The people of Belgium block weapons shipments to Israel

Human Rights and pro-Palestine activists from Belgium are engaged in a struggle to block an arms shipment from Antwerp to Israel. The shipment includes parts of tanks and vehicles that would have been used to continue perpetrating the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the oppression of Palestinians in the West Bank.

NGOs and activists are taking the Flemish government to court to stop arms exports to Israel. As part of the Genocide Convention, states are obliged to take any actions necessary to prevent genocide, which has been ongoing in Gaza for over 20 months now.

“Al-Awda believes that the silence of the international community and the failure of humanitarian organizations to take decisive action to break the medicine blockade have normalized this blockade as a chronic emergency rather than confronting it as a crime that must be stopped immediately,” the Awda Health and Community Association wrote.

Critics of the Trump administration’s approach say that the consistent objective across all of his engagements is to align Latin American and Caribbean countries behind the geopolitical interests and ambitions of the US. The question is how far the US government is willing to go to achieve that.

For now, despite the abrasiveness of Trump’s approach, it seems that most governments in Latin America favor reaching agreements that will resolve any diplomatic or economic crises quickly.

But, how long can this model of diplomacy last without deeply damaging US-Latin American relations? This is a gamble that Trump is still risking, and it is still uncertain.
