A US military buildup in the Caribbean after weeks of naval strikes is both the latest case of intervention in Latin America and uniquely aggressive in key ways A massive military buildup in the Caribbean has sparked speculation that the U.S. is now engaged in its latest chapter of direct intervention in Latin America. For now, at least, President Donald Trump has walked back suggestions that Washington is eyeing strikes inside Venezuela, seemingly content with attacking numerous naval (…)

L'Ukraine a voté à l'ONU en faveur du maintien des sanctions contre Cuba, aux côtés des seuls USA accompagnés de quelques États aussi peu ragoutants que l'Argentine, la Hongrie ou Israël. Ce vote est fondamentalement une mauvaise nouvelle pour celles et ceux qui luttent pour l'émancipation humaine. Tout comme l'étaient d'ailleurs les abstentions répétées de Cuba sur les motions condamnant la guerre d'agression russe en mars et 2022 puis encore en avril 2025. Le maintien voulu par Trump de (…)

In early October 2025, Taiwan's LGBTQ+ community was rocked by controversy when Belle Chiu, Administrative and Public Relations Director of Taiwan Pride, posted anti-transgender and anti-sexual rights statements on social media. Chiu declared opposition to legal gender change without surgery, psychological gender identity, and dismissed decades of sexual rights advocacy as “rubbish left behind by predecessors.” The comments exposed deep tensions within Taiwan's queer movement at a critical (…)

Political crises wherever we look. Following decades of Tory rule, we have the most appalling excuse of a government, led by a Prime Minister and Labour leader who must rank as one of the worst, (…)

I understand that I shall now receive criticism for discrediting Ukrainian patriots. But I am convinced that truth makes us stronger. Recently, the well-known researcher of anarchist history Anatoly Dubovik published a biographical entry about Anastasia Galayeva (1885-1925), an activist in anarcho-communist groups and organisations in Katerynoslav (now the city of Dnipro) and Kyiv. She passed through the prisons of both the tsarist and Bolshevik regimes and died at the age of forty from (…)
