In recent weeks, Sheinbaum has visited all 31 states of Mexico, outlining her administration’s current projects, plans and results in each state.

Mass mobilizations have been a feature of Claudia Sheinbaum’s first year presiding over Mexico, and to finish her first “accountability” tour of Mexico and mark one year of governance, she had her biggest yet. More than 400,000 people came out to watch her speak for nearly an hour on Sunday, October 5, reflecting on her and the party’s achievements in the first year of her term, and the continued “fourth transformation” of Mexico.

“No one has the right or is permitted to relinquish the weapon of the Palestinian people,” reads a statement issued by an umbrella of Palestinian resistance groups.

On October 7, 2025, two years after Israel began its war on Gaza, Hamas and Israel entered their second day of indirect talks in Egypt amid a plan to potentially implement US President Donald Trump’s 20-point “peace plan” for Gaza.

Hamas has accepted some terms of Trump’s plan, namely to release all remaining Israeli hostages and return bodies of deceased hostages to Israel. However, Hamas leaders have thus far not agreed to other notable parts of the plan, including to disarm.

South African activists on the Freedom Flotilla, including Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Mandla Mandela. Have been released and deported to Jordan after being detained for several days following international pressure.

The flotilla, which was intercepted in international waters, sought to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza and deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged territory. Among the South Africans on board was Nkosi Zwelivelile “Mandla” Mandela, grandson of the late President Nelson Mandela.

#PeoplesHistory | On October 8th, people across the world celebrate the Day of the Heroic Guerrillero to honor Che Guevara.

On a day like today in 1967, the Cuban-Argentine revolutionary leader, Ernesto “Che” Guevara, was captured by the CIA-backed Bolivian army near La Higuera in Bolivia.

Guevara was tortured and killed the very next day, as the Bolivian right-wing government sought to crush the revolutionary wave which threatened to overturn the status quo on the continent.

🇵🇸 "Palestinian journalists, Palestinian medical professionals, Palestinian aid workers, ordinary Palestinians have continued to insist that they will not bow before this genocidal machine."

Indian journalist Prasanth R explains how Israel with its propaganda apparatus and war arsenal has failed to subjugate the Palestinian people. People around the world also continue to rise in defense of Palestine and against imperialism, in defiance of the US and Israeli agenda.

🎧Prasanth was speaking in the latest episode of Give The People What They Want! which airs every Wednesday on our YouTube channel and as a podcast.

Pro-Palestine organizers credit “how the movement for Palestine has intervened” for seismic shift in public opinion.

Although the claims of antisemitism have been levied against the pro-Palestine movement, especially by the US government, Jewish people in the US have vastly shifted their stance against Israeli action in Palestine. According to a poll conducted by the Washington Post, 61% of surveyed Jewish people in the US believe Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, and 39% said Israel is guilty of genocide.

Protesters are demanding an end to the government with the highest disapproval rating on the entire continent. Boluarte, however, says she will not resign.

It has now been three weeks in a row that thousands of Peruvians have taken to the streets to demand an end to the proposed pension reform, corruption, insecurity, and police abuse.

But, as several analysts have pointed out, the protests are no longer focused solely on specific issues, but on raising the demand for an end to the Boluarte government. Boluarte took office after the overthrow of then-President Pedro Castillo, and led to the deaths of more than 60 Peruvians following massive protests between 2022 and 2023.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi cautioned the United States against fresh Israeli attempts to drag them into yet another war with Iran by lying about his country’s defense capabilities, as it did earlier this year in June.

In June, with lies about Iran’s nuclear program, Israel “managed to deceive the US into attacking the Iranian people. With the failure of that action Israel is now trying to make an imaginary threat out of our defense capabilities” Araghchi claimed in a post on X.

The Romania-focused “Elbit Out!” campaign launched on October 5 in Bucharest, with a public discussion on the government’s continued complicity with the genocide in Palestine, followed by a march through the capital.

The campaign seeks to highlight the government’s obligation to uphold international law and stop Israel’s crimes against humanity, joining a wave of worker-led and grassroots actions pushing European governments to act against the genocide and protect the kidnapped volunteers of the Global Sumud Flotilla.

“The Israeli armed forces want to totally annihilate it [Gaza], and they’re accelerating the process,” said Belgian physician Hanne Bosselaers of Medics for the People (MPLP-GVHV), who is also active in the People’s Health Movement (PHM).

In a new act of state terrorism, Israel has assaulted vessels from the Freedom Flotilla Coalition and the Thousand Madleens to Gaza initiative in international waters, abducting more than 140 crew members. The attack comes barely a week after Israeli armed forces targeted the Global Sumud Flotilla, another civilian fleet sailing to break the illegal blockade of Gaza and deliver essential supplies.

🇵🇸 The people of Gaza celebrate the ceasefire announcement.

After two years of Israel's relentless genocidal campaign against the people of Gaza and Palestinians' steadfast resistance, a ceasefire agreement has been reached between Hamas and Israel.

Despite the announcement of a ceasefire, there have been multiple reports of Israeli strikes occurring in Gaza.

🇵🇸 Following the announcement of the ceasefire, Palestinians in Gaza have flooded the streets, singing, chanting and praying in gratitude. However, their celebrations have been bittersweet due to their huge humanitarian losses. Many also fear that Israel may not commit to permanently ending the war, especially as reports indicated that Israel launched a number of attacks on some areas of Gaza after the agreement was announced by Trump.

Trump hailed the long awaited agreement, though many pointed out that reaching an agreement had been a central promise of his election campaign, so this outcome was much delayed. On the contrary, since he returned to office, Israel resumed its genocidal aggression on Gaza with even more fervor in March 2025 – two months after he was re-elected as a president. Since then, the death toll of Palestinians in Gaza multiplied month after month.

The official death toll has jumped from about 47,000, when the first ceasefire came into effect in January 2025, to over 67,200 since the genocide resumed. Beginning on March 18, 2025, the US essentially gave Israel a green light to do what it wanted until this Wednesday, when Trump appeared on his Truth Social account, boasting about his alleged “Peace Plan” achievement.
