Sheinbaum Reaffirms Mexico’s Sovereignty Amid US Threats

On January 25, 2026, President Sheinbaum declared Mexico’s unwavering independence while delivering housing units in Reynosa, just miles from the U.S. border. Sheinbaum reaffirms Mexico’s sovereignty in a powerful statement from the northern border, where geopolitical tensions simmer and U.S. rhetoric grows increasingly aggressive. During a working visit to Reynosa, Tamaulipas, on Sunday, President Claudia Sheinbaum delivered a clear message to Washington: “Mexico will always be a free, independent, and sovereign country. And here, on this border, it is even more symbolic to say so.”

Resisting The Empire Next Door, Protests In Mexico Grow

An anti-imperialist movement is building in Mexico, where the U.S. invasion of Venezuela has been seen as an act of intimidation for all of Latin America. Protests are swelling in response to this latest blow after decades of political and economic subjugation by its neighbor to the north. Across the country, larger-than-usual marches on January 3 and 10 condemned the U.S. attacks on Venezuela. The marches included some pro-Morena groups (the governing party) as well as students, workers, farmers, and Indigenous groups that are critical of Morena.

Trump Threatens Colombia’s Petro, Says Cuba Looks ‘Ready To Fall’

United States President Donald Trump has threatened military action against his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, following Washington’s abduction of Venezuela’s leader, and said he believed the government in Cuba, too, was likely to fall soon. Trump’s comments on Sunday came amid a growing outcry over the brazen abduction of Nicolas Maduro, with Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay and Spain condemning the US action as a “dangerous precedent for peace and regional security”. Trump told reporters on board Air Force One that Venezuela and Colombia were “very sick” and that the government in Bogota was run by “a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States”.

Venezuela Strongly Condemns US Threat Of Blockade

In an escalation of the US empire’s ongoing illegal sanctions on Venezuela, US President Donald Trump has announced a “full blockade” of the sovereign nation and its oil tanker fleet. He claimed the measure would remain in place until Venezuela “returns all the oil, land, and other assets” he alleged were previously stolen from the US. The announcement ignited an immediate response from the Venezuelan government, followed by all state institutions and international allies. “Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump wrote on social media this Tuesday, December 16, adding that “it will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before.”

Inside Coca-Cola’s Multi-Billion Dollar Theft Of Trade Secrets

Since 2004, as part of the Campaign to Stop Killer Coke, I have attended Coca-Cola’s annual meetings of shareholders to confront The Coca-Cola Company’s chief executives and board members over the company's involvement in horrific human rights abuses and other criminal behavior. These meetings often became confrontational and tense. I was violently attacked from behind while standing at the microphone raising issues of Coca-Cola’s complicity in deadly human rights abuses perpetrated against union leaders in Colombia. The assailants turned out to be Wilmington, Delaware police dressed in plain clothes moonlighting as Coca-Cola security.

The Truth About The ‘Gen Z’ March In Mexico

A youth march with the notable absence of youth. A march against violence that ended with deliberately provoked violence. A nonpartisan march with one of its key proponents in the pay of the nation’s conservative party. A march inspired by imagery from the hit left-wing comic One Piece descending into a maelstrom of far-right hate. The contradictions surrounding Mexico’s so-called “Generation Z” march on November 15 — also known as the “15N protests and riots” — are abundant. Moreover, they provide an object lesson in the “franchise model” of international demonstration symbolism in which a domestic event is appropriated to suit the agenda of the franchisees.

Anti-Government Protests In Mexico Exposed As Destabilization Plot

A right-wing, billionaire-backed and violent demonstration was held in Mexico City on November 15 against President Claudia Sheinbaum. Corporate media in the United States portrayed the protests as Gen Z taking a stand against corruption, but the march had all the makings of a US-backed destabilization effort. Clearing the FOG speaks with Jose Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth, co-hosts of the public TV program Sin Muros and the podcast Soberania, about the protests, who is behind them, the achievements of the Fourth Transformation and the risks of US aggression in the region.

Mexico’s ‘Gen Z Rebellion’ Exposed As Viral Right-Wing Plot

Violent demonstrations which erupted in over 50 cities across Mexico on November 15 were secretly financed and coordinated by an international right-wing network and amplified by bot networks, a new report by public fact-checking platform Infodemia has concluded. Those findings were amplified by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who has questioned what role Mexico’s cartel-linked opposition parties and foreign meddling may have played in inflaming so-called “Gen Z” protests on November 15. The demonstrations left around 120 people injured – over 100 of them police officers, according to a statement from authorities.

Sheinbaum Rebuffs Trump After He Threatens To Bomb Mexico, Colombia

US President Donald Trump lashed out Monday at Mexico and Colombia, threatening to bomb their territories as part of the US “fight” against drug trafficking. “Would I launch attacks against Mexico to stop drug trafficking? I have no problem with that,” he said during a press conference from the Oval Office of the White House. “Whatever it takes to stop drug trafficking,” he added in reference to the illegal US missile strikes, conducted under the auspices of an alleged “war on drugs,” that have killed 83 civilians from various countries in the region. During his statements, the US ruler reiterated his alleged willingness to conduct diplomatic talks with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

Manufactured ‘Hat Movement’ Rage Distracts Mexico’s Working Youth

The clashes in Mexico City’s Zócalo were dramatic, a spectacle of generational fury broadcast around the world. Thousands of young Mexicans, many sporting the wide-brimmed straw hats that have become a defiant symbol, marched under the banner of the so-called 15N “Hat Movement.” Triggered by the assassination of opposition mayor Carlos Manzo, the demonstration quickly became a furious call for President Claudia Sheinbaum’s resignation, complete with skirmishes against police and the unexpected sight of the One Piece pirate flag flying high above the turmoil. For many observers outside of Mexico, this looked like a spontaneous, organic youth rebellion against insecurity and corruption. But the political reality is far more complex.

The New US-Russia Clash In Latin America

Pushback from Latin American leaders are putting a wrench in the works of Donald Trump’s imperial ambitions. The Summit of the Americas– the U.S.-backed conference of regional leaders– has had to be cancelled (or, officially, postponed until 2026) due to threats of a mass boycott of the event. Leading this revolt are Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, who both declared they would skip the event in protest of the U.S. treatment of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. With the summit promising to be a public relations disaster, the U.S. ordered it cancelled.

Sheinbaum To Trump: Mexico Will Not Accept Military Intervention

At a press conference Tuesday, Sheinbaum dismissed reports of a proposed US military operation against drug trafficking on Mexican soil and asserted her government would not permit it under any circumstances. “That’s not going to happen. We have no reports that that’s going to happen, and we disagree with it, and we’ve made that clear to President Trump,” the head of state said in response to a report published the previous day by NBC News. Sheinbaum recalled that both countries signed a bilateral agreement Sept. 3 following a meeting at the National Palace with Secretary of State Marco Rubio. She emphasized the deal is based on non-negotiable principles.

US Extrajudicial Strikes Kill 14 In Pacific Off The Coast Of Mexico

A total of 14 people were killed and one survived after the US government conducted three strikes against four small boats in the waters of the Eastern Pacific near Mexico, in what is being described as another extrajudicial killing. The information was released Tuesday morning by US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who claimed on social media that “three lethal kinetic attacks were carried out against four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations … A total of 14 narcoterrorists died during the three attacks.” Hegseth claimed that the first attack killed eight people on board two boats, the second killed four men, and the third killed two people. He also claimed that there is one survivor. While writing that “there were no casualties among the US forces,” Hegseth confirmed that the US government had ordered further extrajudicial executions, in flagrant violation of international and US laws.

What Can We Learn From Mexico’s Nonviolent Revolution Of Consciences?

Quietly, Martin Luther King Jr.’s commitment to Gandhian nonviolence, his effort to end poverty, and his push for a “radical revolution of values…from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society” crossed the U.S. border despite the walls. While the U.S. is mired in deep democratic decay, division and chaos, the Mexican people have given King’s ideas and actions new life south of the border. What can we learn from this grassroots democratization movement that from 2018-2024 lifted 13.4 million people out of poverty and significantly reduced inequality despite the challenging pandemic years? Dr. King’s last book asked, “Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?”

People Across Asia And Latin America Mobilize In Support Of Gaza Flotilla

Protests broke out in various countries in Asia on Thursday, October 2, following the Israeli attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) on Wednesday and the abduction of hundreds of activists. The GSF, consisting of over 40 ships with hundreds of activists onboard, was heading towards the besieged Palestinian territory of Gaza in order to break the Israeli siege and deliver crucial humanitarian aid to its people forced to starve by Israel. The ships were attacked by the Israeli forces on the night of October 1, an attack which continued until October 3, when they were scores of miles away from the Gaza coast. Israeli forces abducted the activists and seized the aid the ships were carrying for the people of Gaza.
