What Do Authoritarians Fear Most?

April 13, 2026 Sarah van Gelder, Truthout. , , ,
Even before Donald Trump launched a war on Iran, his presidency had heightened the strain on millions of people in the United States struggling with high prices and precarious work. Now, as the U.S. and Israel escalate their violence in the Middle East, pressures at home are intensifying. Higher prices at the gas pump make the war-related surge in energy costs visible to all. Less apparent are disruptions to global fertilizer supplies resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Combined with widespread drought and the impacts of tariffs, the fertilizer shortage could cut food supplies, worsening the affordability crisis and spreading food insecurity.

Judge Affirms Maduro and Flores’ ‘Right To Defend Themselves Is Paramount’

March 26, 2026 Gloria Guillo, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
The pre-trial conference of kidnapped and incarcerated political prisoners Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and first lady Cilia Flores was held on Thursday, March 26 at the Southern District Court in Lower Manhattan, New York. The defendants were taken hostage in an early morning raid on January 3 by the U.S. government’s Delta Force during an illegal assault on a Caracas Venezuela military installation where the couple were resting. Their arraignment was held on January 5 where they both pleaded not guilty to charges including narco-terrorism and drug trafficking.

Cuba, Venezuela And Regime Change

March 22, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Donald Trump is well known for being a liar. His lies are usually very obvious, so much so that proving his statements to be untrue is very easy to do. Yet it must be pointed out that, in his uniquely bombastic and crude way, Trump also tells the truth about his actions. “Taking Cuba in some form … whether I free it, take it, I think I can do anything I want with it, if you want to know the truth. They’re a very weakened nation right now.” While leftists may debate whether or not the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro or the creation of a humanitarian crisis in Cuba constitute regime change, Trump provides an answer himself when he says he can do anything to Cuba that he pleases.

The Caribbean People’s Debt To Cuba

February 27, 2026 Tamanisha J. John and Kevin Edmonds, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
What we are seeing across the Caribbean in 2025-2026 is a total absence of political and moral leadership, specifically in regards to the failure of elected officials and prominent regional organizations like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), to speak out against the criminal blockade and embargo of Cuba, and the imperialist attacks against Venezuela – which includes the violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty that resulted in the kidnapping of the Venezuelan President, Nicolás Maduro, and First Lady, Cilia Flores by the United States (US). 

CODEPINK Delegation Arrives In Venezuela In Solidarity

February 22, 2026 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
A delegation from the US feminist movement Code Pink, led by Medea Benjamin, arrived in Venezuela as part of the Internationalist Mission for Peace. They were received on Saturday, February 21, by Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil, symbolizing unity against external aggression. The aim of the activists is to break the media and political siege imposed by Washington against Venezuela. Foreign Minister Yván Gil thanked the delegation, emphasizing that international support is essential at this crucial moment for the country. He valued the courage of the activists who defy the interventionist policy of their own government and “carry the flags of brotherhood and respect for sovereignty.”

As The US Ramps Up Its Attacks On Cuba, Support For Its Revolution Grows

February 16, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
On January 29, which coincides with the twelfth anniversary of the declaration of Latin America and the Caribbean as a Zone of Peace (at the CELAC meeting in Havana, Cuba), the Trump administration designated Cuba as "an unusual and extraordinary threat... to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.” As a result of this designation, the US is tightening the economic blockade on Cuba, with a particular emphasis on stopping fuel deliveries, and is threatening any nation that provides aid. Clearing the FOG speaks with Netfa Freeman of the Black Alliance for Peace about the impact of the blockade, the significance of Cuba's example of internationalism and defending its sovereignty, as well as assisting other nations in doing the same, and efforts to support the Cuban people.

Mexico City — Mexico-Cuba solidarity shone brightly in the heart of Mexico City on Feb. 14, 2026, as the campaign “De pueblo a pueblo, acabemos con el bloqueo” (From people to people, let’s end the blockade) kicked off at the Zócalo. Organized by the militant solidarity collective Va por Cuba and the Association of Cuban Residents in Mexico “José Martí,” the drive collects food and medicines for the island nation facing severe shortages. From early morning, people streamed in. Young people, families, retirees, workers, office employees and teachers arrived with bags, boxes and sacks. Donations included rice, beans, powdered milk, sardines, canned tuna and essential medicines.

Brazil: Workers, Social Movements Organize ‘Oil For Cuba’ Campaign

February 15, 2026 The Brazilian Federation of Oil Workers, Resumen English. , , , ,
On Friday, February 13, the FUP sent a letter to Petrobras’ Executive Board of Logistics, Marketing, and Markets, requesting a meeting to discuss the possibility of sending emergency fuel to Cuba. Social organizations, popular movements, and oil workers are coordinating the Petróleo para Cuba (Oil for Cuba) campaign to pressure the Brazilian government and Petrobras to send emergency fuel to the Caribbean country, which is being suffocated by additional sanctions imposed by the Trump administration. With the support of the two national oil workers’ federations (FUP and FNP), the initiative brings together the Brazilian Movement of Solidarity with Cuba and Just Causes, the José Martí Cultural Association, popular entities, trade unions, and political parties.

It’s Time To Go To Cuba In Solidarity Against Latest US Aggressions

February 10, 2026 Former U.S. Diplomat Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
I came back from Cuba over last weekend.  I had not been in Cuba since a year ago. Despite the warnings from the U.S. State Department and Marco Rubio, now is the time for U.S. citizens to travel to Cuba in solidarity with the Cuban people against the latest U.S. aggressions in the Caribbean and Latin America. Now of all times, it is important for U.S. citizens to show solidarity with the Cuban people against the threats of the U.S. government by travelling to Cuba. Yet, most U.S. citizens do not realize that they can go to Cuba as an individual or in a group.

February 7: National Day Of Action In Solidarity With Minneapolis

February 4, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
The Legalization for All (L4A) Network is calling on all affiliated cities to act NOW. Community observer Renee Good was killed by ICE on January 7th. This is why L4A is calling for a national day of action on the one month anniversary. As ICE continues their terror — raiding, killing, and disappearing undocumented immigrants and also U.S. citizens, we must stand up and fight back. Together we will protect our Mexicano, Centroamericano, Somali families. As well as anyone under attack by ICE. On January 14th, Nicaraguan immigrant Victor Manuel Díaz (detained in Texas) and Mexican immigrant Heber Sanchaz Domínguez (detained in Georgia) died under ICE custody and under very suspicious circumstances.

Strikes, Student Walkouts, And Demonstrations Against ICE Continue

January 31, 2026 James Dennis Hoff, Left Voice. , , ,
On Friday, thousands of people in cities across the country once again walked out of their workplaces and schools to protest the Trump administration’s draconian immigration policies and the recent murders of pro-immigrant activists Rene Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Since taking office, the Trump administration has overseen the detention and deportation of at least 400,000 immigrants, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have terrorized several U.S. cities, shooting more than 30 people and killing at least eight more.

300 Cities Answer Minneapolis’ General Strike Call Against ICE

January 25, 2026 Struggle La Lucha. , , , ,
On Jan. 23, 2026, Minnesota was locked in a deep freeze. Temperatures dropped to 16 below zero, with wind chills reaching minus 30. Instead of staying home, more than 100,000 people filled the streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul. They were joined by solidarity actions across the country. In the days leading up to Jan. 23, support for the Minneapolis general strike spread rapidly, jumping from plans in “dozens” of cities to confirmed actions in at least 300 cities tied directly to the strike call. Workers, immigrant rights groups, students and community organizations acted together across the country, making clear that what was unfolding in the Twin Cities was not a local dispute.

Cuba Solidarity Visit Shows The Impact Of US Sanctions

January 19, 2026 Mark Ginsburg, Resumen-English. , , ,
Between December 21 and January 3, I traveled to Cuba to participate in events organized to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Cuban Institute for Friendship with the Peoples. I stayed at ICAP’s “Julio Antonio Mella International Camp” in the province of Artemisa along with approximately 120 Cuba solidarity activists from 24 countries (including Australia, Austria, Brazil, Catalan Countries, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Luxembourg, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Russia, Sweden, the United States, and Venezuela.)

Global Vigils For Closure Of Guantánamo On The 24th Anniversary

January 17, 2026 Andy Worthington. , , ,
Between Saturday January 10 and Monday January 12, an impressive 18 vigils for the closure of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay took place across the US and around the world, marking the 24th anniversary of the opening of the prison, with a 19th taking place on January 15. Eleven of these vigils were by campaigners who have been taking part in the monthly coordinated “First Wednesday” global vigils that I initiated three years ago, and that have been taking place every month ever since. Seven of these are at locations in the US — outside the White House in Washington, D.C., in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Cobleskill, NY, and Portland, OR — while the other four are in London, Brussels and Mexico City, with former Guantánamo prisoner Mansoor Adayfi holding a solo vigil in Belgrade.

Why I Am On Hunger Strike In Solidarity With Pal Action Detainees

January 11, 2026 Mansoor Adayfi, Al Jazeera. , , , ,
I know this road. I have its map etched into my bones. I carry scars that won’t heal without justice, without accountability. I learned it in Guantanamo, when the only thing I could control was my own body. We were disappeared. Isolated. Forced into silence. Our words were redacted. Our letters were stamped secret. Lawyers were blocked. Time stretched and rotted. No court dates were given. No real charges were made. I was reduced to a number in an orange uniform, locked in a metal cage. The US government had already named me. “The worst of the worst.” “Terrorist.” “Enemy combatant.” Labels designed to make torture sound necessary.
