Brazil: Washington And The Assault On Its Sovereignty

September 9, 2026 Pablo Jofré Leal, Resumen English. Educate! Brazil, Elections, Lula da Silva, US Imperialism, US Interference

A contest that will decisively influence the balance of power in Latin America and play a significant role in the consolidation of the Global South as we look toward the coming decade. On the Brazilian political stage, under intense external pressure—with the United States actively participating by backing the far right represented by Flavio Bolsonaro—as a battering ram against the sovereignty of the South American giant. This is not merely an electoral struggle between two opposing models, but the unfolding of an interventionist script orchestrated from Washington that seeks to undermine the strategic autonomy of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s government by openly promoting the Bolsonaro clan and its far-right operatives around the world.

As US Empire Collapses And Interest In Socialism Surges, What Next?

August 31, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. Featured Campaign, Podcast - Clearing The FOG Capitalism, Debt, Democrats, Elections, Socialism, US Empire

The US Federal debt recently climbed to $40 trillion, double what it was just ten years ago. The United States is borrowing at an unprecedented rate, putting itself and the whole world at risk of financial collapse. Professor Richard Wolff joins Clearing the FOG to discuss why the debt is rising so quickly, how it impacts our daily lives and more signs of a US empire in decline. Wolff explains that the election of Donald Trump and progressive Democrats are "votes of alienation" rather than being based on a political ideology. Wolff expresses optimism in the face of a rising interest in socialism and whether the US can transform away from capitalism or rescue it, as was done under FDR.

Bookchin And The Legacy Of Direct Democracy

August 29, 2026 Yavor Tarinski, Grassroots Economic Organizing. Strategize! Consensus, Democracy, Direct Democracy, Elections, Murray Bookchin

With the fall of the Soviet Union, but also with the continuous inability of left-wing parties to alter the current state of things through reforms from within the system, the traditional political organizations have become largely marginal, with little to no genuine linkage to society. Rudi Dutschke’s strategy of “the long march through the institutions” is repeatedly failing to achieve anything different from the absorption of the Left by the dominant institutions it tries to change. Society at large have lost trust in the parliamentary model and its inability to cope with the crucial crises of our time: climate change, extreme inequality, concentration of power in the hands of few. Proof for that are the rising levels of abstention in elections worldwide.

How USA Uses Criminals To Manipulate Elections In Latin America

August 28, 2026 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Resistance Report Elections, Fernando Cerimendo, Latin America, US Interference

Latin America has been rocked by a major scandal that says everything about how politics works in the 21st century. It demonstrates how some powerful right-wing groups, with wealthy corporate backers and close links to the US government, have created a sophisticated machine of election manipulation. They weaponize social media, with armies of bots that spread nonstop disinformation, deceiving voters to put in power ultra-conservative leaders who will promote the interests of Washington and US corporations.

Commercial Health Insurance PR Scare Spin And Public Option Proposal

August 26, 2026 Kimberly J. Soenen, The Fine Print Magazine. Educate! Democrats, Elections, Health Care, Medicare for all, Public option

This week, as expected and predicted, an intensive campaign is being initiated by Establishment Democrats in support of a “public option” – offering the choice of a public, nonprofit insurance plan which competes with private commercial health insurance investment bank plans. A public option is a non-comprehensive, fragmented program that continues to prop up the commercial health insurance investment bank industry. A co-opted program falsely called “Medicare for All” will continue to prop up the commercial health insurance investment banks.

Ortega, Elections, And The Context Western Media Won’t Print

August 24, 2026 Richard Balzano, The New Hampshire Gazette. Educate! Elections, Nicaragua, Propaganda, Sandinista Revolution

“Crackdown.” “Democratic backsliding.” “Authoritarian grip.” Journalists persecuted, opposition parties crushed—and now, according to the latest eruption from the Western press, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has abolished elections. The peripheral left offers another interpretation: Ortega is preventing U.S.-backed political organizations implicated in subversion from participating in elections, while Nicaragua has restricted media organizations with subversive ties to Washington amid ongoing U.S. hostility. Whether one approves is beside the point. Nicaragua is behaving as though the United States poses a threat to Nicaraguan sovereignty. How could they possibly have gotten that idea?

United States Meddling In Brazilian Elections

August 19, 2026 Alan MacLeod, Mintpress News. Educate! Brazil, Elections, Lula da Silva, US Interference, US Military Intervention

The United States is interfering in the Brazilian presidential elections, pressuring the Brazilian electorate into voting for right-wing candidate Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of disgraced former president, Jair Bolsonaro. If that does not work and President Lula da Silva secures a fourth term in office, the groundwork is already being laid for a potential military intervention. From sanctions and economic warfare, to coaching influencers and journalists on how best to attack the left-wing government, the Trump administration is doing everything it can to overthrow Lula.

The Democrat Party’s Precipitous Slide From De Facto To De Jure Racism

August 13, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic Party, Elections, Psychology, Racism, White Supremacy

In their rejection of classifying “extreme racism” vis a vis white “supremacy” as a mental health condition, administrators of the American Psychiatric Association confirmed that racial animus against non white people is entrenched in society, “The association's officials rejected the recommendation [to classify extreme racism as a mental health condition], arguing that because so many Americans are racist, even extreme racism in this country is normative—a cultural problem rather than an indication of psychopathology.”

Trump’s Man In Bogotá

August 11, 2026 Mina Mosallanejad, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Colombia, Elections, Far Right Politics, Soft Coup

De la Espriella, a 48-year-old lawyer, took the oath of office on Friday after securing a marginal victory over his left-wing opponent, Senator Iván Cepeda, in Colombia’s presidential race. He defeated Cepeda in the June 21 runoff with 49.66% of the vote against Cepeda’s 48.70%. It was the narrowest margin of victory ever recorded in a Colombian presidential election. US President Donald Trump had personally endorsed de la Espriella’s campaign and helped install a man who replaces Gustavo Petro, who was staunchly pro-Palestine and anti-West. In a social media post, Trump gave de la Espriella his “complete and total endorsement,” claiming that “the results of this Election are very important to the future of Colombia and its relationship to the United States.”

A Certain Schizophrenia

August 8, 2026 Patrick Lawrence, Consortium News. Strategize! Democrats, DSA, Elections, History, popular power

The Democratic Socialists of America have been feeling their oats of late, what with Zohran Mamdani’s election to the mayoralty of New York last year and a succession of D.S.A. victories in primaries across the country since then. On Tuesday another Democratic Socialist won a primary, this one in Michigan for a U.S. House seat. What right-thinking person does not wish these people well? But where is all this going? We all want to hear the plan. You have on the one hand reports that all these oats the D.S.A. is sowing have conventional liberals and mainstream Democrats in a state of high anxiety.

What D.C.’s Election Defense Under Occupation Can Teach Us

August 7, 2026 Daniel Hunter, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! Community Defense, Democracy, Elections, Washington DC

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the National Guard’s occupation of Washington, D.C., it’s worth pausing to learn what D.C. resistance has to teach us — especially heading into the midterms. Many of us are carrying real fear about how far Trump might go to interfere with this election. Our fear isn’t unwarranted. But it doesn’t have to be ungrounded, either. Yes, he will say outrageous things. Yes, the heads of the Department of Justice and FBI are trying to keep power for their boss and intimidate voter rights groups. Yes, if Trump could stop elections he would.

US Support Of Israel Is Absolutely An Issue Of Affordability And Economic Populism

July 30, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Democrats, Elections, Israel, Palestine

Many elements of the Democrat Party’s establishment flank are bewildered at how the zionist ethnostate of Israel’s contemptuous pogroms of subjugation, dehumanization, and genocide against the Palestinian people remain a salient issue ahead of the Midterm elections this fall. It seems as if those elements of the Democrat Party who are bankrolled by the zionist lobby believed the issue of Israel’s genocide would fade away after a series of ignominious electoral losses in 2024, including that of former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Letter Carriers Set To Deliver Change In Upcoming Union Election

July 30, 2026 Alexandra Bradbury, Labor Notes. Organize! Elections, Postal Workers, Unions, Worker Rights

A leadership change looks likely in the Letter Carriers (NALC) this fall. Members are mad about low pay and forced overtime, dangerous heat and robberies, the rejected contract imposed last year, the backlog of tens of thousands of grievances, and the president’s secretive approach to bargaining. There’s not just one group pushing for change, but a whole ecosystem of reform groups, slates, and podcasters among the 5,000-plus delegates coming to Los Angeles for the union convention August 3-7. They’ll rub elbows and hopefully build unity at a “Reformers Rum Party” on Sunday night, the eve of the convention.

Nicaragua’s Authentic Democracy Defends The Will Of The People

July 28, 2026 Stephen Sefton, Resumen English. Educate! Elections, Media, Nicaragua, Propaganda, US Imperialism, US Interference

The US-centered Western techno totalitarian ruling elite is greatly intensifying their assault on democracy and freedom around the world seeking to recover and remake the West’s now vanishing monopoly control of international trade, technology and finance. Abandoning international law and destroying free and fair election processes at home and abroad have been central to that global assault. Western style democracies themselves are now more than ever militarized financial and digital shell games under governments progressively less and less responsive to their peoples’ needs.

Running For Local Union Office: Building A Campaign Team

July 25, 2026 Labor Notes. Organize! Elections, Labor Movement, Political Campaigns, Unions

As your union election approaches, you’re going to have a lot of work to do. Texting and phone banking. Campaigning. Getting all the last-minute details right. Do you want to be doing all that work alone? You can’t run a campaign by yourself, any more than you can run a local by yourself. Strong unions involve rank-and-file members. So do strong campaigns. When most people think about their campaign team, they think, “Who can I get to run on my slate?” That’s obviously important. But you should go broader. The more members doing something, the better, even if most only do a little.
