Drowning In The Cesspool Of Racism

August 8, 2026 Phebe Eckfeldt, Workers World. Educate! Deaths, Racial disparities, Racism, The Right to Swim

August 2 is an anniversary that no one wants to celebrate but one that needs to be remembered. On that day in 2010, six Black teenagers from two families drowned in the Red River in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was a day that would break your heart. The children and their families went on an outing to barbecue and cool off on a hot summer’s day. One of the children, Dekendrix Warner, stepped from a shallow sandbar into water 28 feet deep and started thrashing around. The teenagers responded to Dekendrix’s yells for help and jumped in to try to save him. But they could not swim. All began to drown.

When Children Are The Target

The United Nations Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel has releasedone of the most devastating reports ever produced by a U.N. investigative body on the Israeli genocide in Gaza. Its title is almost unbearable to read: “The Essence of Childhood Has Been Destroyed.” Behind the title lies an accusation of extraordinary gravity. The Commission concludes that Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children and that these actions amount to genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in the Gaza Strip, alongside war crimes in the occupied West Bank.

ICE Says 51 People Died In Custody Under Trump

Mamuka Artmeladze, a 43-year-old Georgian national, was found dead on June 4, 2026, in federal immigration custody. Though his name did not appear in Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE’s) online death records by the time this article was published, Artmeladze was reported as the 50th person to die in ICE custody since President Donald Trump returned to office. One of two recent deaths at a notorious immigration prison in Louisiana, Artmeladze’s death is one of the latest signs that the president’s mass deportation campaign has predictably created a human rights crisis inside a sprawling system of immigration jails and camps.

Growing Calls To End Unilateral Coercive Measures

This spring constituents and grassroots organizations have been raising awareness in Congress and in public forums of the harms caused by Unilateral Coercive Measures (UCMs or “sanctions”). Sanctions have become the “go-to” foreign policy tool of the United States government, now impacting a quarter of the global economy and one-third of the world’s population. These measures cause an average of 564,000 deaths around the world annually—comparable to the toll from armed conflict—mostly among children under 5 years old. On April 22, Congresswoman Delia Ramírez (D-IL) hosted a Congressional briefing on “Humanitarian Impacts of Economic Sanctions, Cuba as a Case Study.”

Every 104 Minutes Corporate Neglect Kills Another Worker

April 24, 2026 Mark Gruenberg, People's World. Educate! Corporatism, Deaths, Worker Rights, Workplace Safety

A worker dies from corporate negligence every 104 minutes. The suppliers of auto parts for Hyundai and Kia cars. The Subway restaurant chain. The nation’s biggest homebuilder, which let Donald Trump’s vicious and violent ICE agents raid its job sites. A snack food company that puts migrants’ children into hazardous factory jobs. “Workers are still being poisoned, injured, exploited and killed on the job,” says Jessica Martinez, executive director of the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (NACOSH), which released its annual “Dirty Dozen” report on the worst job safety and health violators nominated by its local councils and allies, and why those corporate bad actors made the list–though they’re not alone.

Nearly 750 US soldiers have been injured or killed since October 2023, The Intercept revealed in a new investigation released on 1 April – citing a defense official as saying that Washington is engaged in a “casualty coverup.” At least 15 soldiers were injured last week in an Iranian attack on an air base in Saudi Arabia, two officials confirmed to the outlet, adding that “Hundreds of US personnel have been killed or injured in the region since the US launched a war on Iran just over a month ago.” The report adds that CENTCOM’s updates have been outdated.

People Die While Companies Profit

The March 4, 2026, edition of the Arizona Daily Star put the facts succinctly: “A Haitian asylum seeker held for four months at Florence Correctional Center died Monday at a Scottsdale hospital due to complications from an infected tooth.” It seems the infection spread from his tooth to his lungs, and he developed the pneumonia that killed him. In other words, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) allowed a prisoner to die of a toothache. His name was Emmanuel Damas. He was 56 years old and the father of two.

Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello has announced that the death toll from the US empire’s military attack against Venezuela on Saturday has risen to 100 people, including civilians and military personnel. Cabello explained during a special broadcast of his program Con el Mazo Dando this Wednesday, January 7, that although it was not scheduled to start his program this week, “the current circumstances force it,” following the illegal attack perpetrated by the US targeting four states in the country that concluded with the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.

First International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures

In June of 2025, the United Nations General Assembly designated December 4 as the annual International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures, urging States to stop using such measures (commonly called “sanctions”) because they violate international law and impose collective punishment. Last night, the SanctionsKill campaign and partners honored the day by inviting speakers to discuss the impact of these measures on children in four countries during a webinar called “Blockades and Coercive Measures: Stop the War on Children!”

New Report: US Economic Wars Kill Over 560,000 People Every Year

The Lancet, a renowned medical journal, recently published a groundbreaking report on the number of people who die each year as a result of economic sanctions primarily imposed by the United States. US economic wars have killed more than 560,000 people each year for the past ten years, over half of those killed are children five years of age and younger. This number is higher than the number of people who die in military conflicts. Clearing the FOG speaks with Sara Flounders, a co-founder of the Sanctions Kill campaign, about what sanctions are, how they kill, and why the United States wages economic warfare.

Unilateral And Illegal Sanctions Kill Half A Million Civilians Per Year

Those who do not live in war zones or in suffocated countries are forced to live life as if there is nothing strange about what is happening around us. When we read about war, it is disconnected from our lives, and many of us want to stop listening to anything about the human misery caused by weapons or by sanctions. The scholasticism of the academic and the hushed tones of the diplomat are silenced as the bomb and the bank wage war against the planet. After authorising the atom bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima (Japan) on 6 August 1945, US President Harry S. Truman announced on the radio: ‘If [the Japanese] do not now accept our terms, they may expect a rain of ruin from the air, the like of which has never been seen on this earth’.

If We Respond To The Genocide In Palestine The Same Way We’re Responding To The Climate Crisis…

In 2018, Seattle-based journalist - Charles Mudede - wrote a piece entitled, “The Fact is Nothing is Going to be Done About Climate Change Until it Kills A Lot of White People .” Therein he remarks, “What is between climate change and meaningful human action is simply white American lives. As long as they are not directly threatened, we can continue business as usual.” This may very well have been true seven years ago, but since then we have witnessed the deaths of plenty of white folk from Europe to the United States due to climate-exacerbated events including, but not limited to, wildfires, hurricanes, and extreme flooding.

Rethink Sanctions: They’re Killing As Many People As War Does

July 25, 2025 Mark Weisbrot, CEPR. Educate! Deaths, Hybrid War, International Law, Sanctions, United States

Broad economic sanctions, most of which are imposed by the U.S. government, kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people each year — disproportionately children. This week the Lancet Global Health journal published an article that estimated that number at about 564,000 annually over a decade. This is comparable to the annual deaths around the world from armed conflict. Sanctions are becoming the preferred weapon of the United States and some allies — not because they are less destructive than military action, but more likely because the toll is less visible.

Study Finds Israel ‘Disappeared’ Nearly 400,000 Palestinians In Gaza

June 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Children, Deaths, Gaza, Genocide, Harvard University, Israel, Palestine, Report

A new report published by the Harvard database reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023. Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children. The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the Israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population. The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to Israel’s genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.

CEO Shooting Exposes Injustices That Get Too Little Attention

February 27, 2025 Peter Greenhill, Popular Resistance. Educate! Deaths, Health Care, Health Insurance, United Healthcare

“In a fairer world, Brian Thompson wouldn’t have been murdered. He would already have been put behind bars,” writes foreign policy analyst Sunjeev Bery. And Bery is right. Others have made this point over the last few years, that companies like UnitedHealth are deep cesspools of irredeemable, psychopathic corruption, which in UnitedHealth’s specific case prevents doctors from relieving suffering and saving lives. The shooting of Thompson, their CEO, calls attention to many serious flaws in our society besides the corruption of the profit-obsessed health insurance industry, but let’s focus on just two.
