Activists Mobilize Across The Americas To Demand ‘Hands Off Venezuela’

The US military has extrajudicially killed 80 people in 20 strikes that have destroyed 21 boats, in aerial strikes off the coast of Venezuela. With outrage in response to these murders and significant U.S. military buildup near Venezuela, an urgent and coordinated week of action for Venezuela from November 15-23 started yesterday, with over 50 actions across the US and a growing international response. The demonstrations, organized by over 35 organizations forming a rapid response network, are demanding no war on Venezuela, the withdrawal of the U.S. military from the Caribbean, and the establishment of a "Zone of Peace" across the hemisphere.

‘Peace Is / Peace is Not’ Campaign

In 2025, “peace” has been reduced to a political buzzword. President Trump aspires to be seen as a peacemaker—boasting about ending wars—yet his administration continues enabling and waging aggressive military campaigns in Gaza, Iran, and beyond, while repressing dissent at home. Despite this, countries such as Israel and Pakistan have stated their intentions to nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize. This dangerous framing narrows peace to mean a pause in fighting or a shift in military power, ignoring the deeper truth that peace requires justice, dignity, and human security.

If Trump Sells Student Loan Portfolio, Paths To Debt Cancellation Could Close

Trump administration officials are once again exploring the possibility of selling portions of the federal government’s $1.6 trillion student loan portfolio, held by about 45 million borrowers, according to recent reporting by Politico. Federal law dictates that such a sale cannot cost taxpayers any money. But, as Eileen Connor, executive director of the Project on Predatory Student Lending, told Politico, executing a deal that benefits both taxpayers and borrowers is nearly impossible. The federal government enjoys extraordinary powers of collection that private lenders do not — such as garnishing tax refunds, disability benefits, and Social Security payments. Absent those collection methods, private lenders make money through higher interest rates and longer repayment plans.

This Veterans Day, The VA Faces Multiple Threats

When veterans and their families gather at commemorative events on Nov. 11, many who use the benefits and services of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will be wondering whether they can still rely on that federal agency. Among those worried about the agency’s future — and their own — are the 100,000 former service members who comprise one-third of the workforce in the largest public health care system in the country. These veterans work at nearly 1,400 VA-run hospitals and clinics nationwide. Every day, they help the nine million men and women who have service-related medical conditions or qualify for VA coverage because of financial need or recent deployment in combat zones.

The US Continues Its Attempt To Overthrow The Bolivarian Revolution

Since early September, the United States has given every indication that it could be preparing for a military assault on Venezuela. Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research partnered with ALBA Movimientos, the International Peoples’ Assembly, No Cold War, and the Simón Bolívar Institute to produce red alert no. 20, ‘The Empire’s Dogs Are Barking at Venezuela’, on the potential scenarios and implications of US intervention. In February 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez travelled to Havana to receive the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s José Martí Prize from Fidel Castro. In his speech, he likened Washington’s threats against Venezuela to dogs barking, saying, ‘Let the dogs bark, because it is a sign that we are on the move’.

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.

China Surprised The US: Round One Goes To Beijing

In this episode, KJ Noh joins India & Global Left to break down the real meaning of the recent Xi–Trump talks — beyond the headlines. We explore why China surprised the United States, why “Round One goes to Beijing,” and what leverage each side truly holds in this evolving geopolitical contest. We also look at the deeper strategic competition shaping U.S.–China relations, the power shifts happening underneath the diplomacy, and what this moment means for the future of the Global South as more countries seek autonomy, multipolarity, and alternatives to the Western-led order.

Summit Of The Americas Derailed Due To Tensions Caused By US

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic announced on Monday that the 10th Summit of the Americas, scheduled for early December, has been postponed due to deep regional differences that are hindering discussions. A new date was not provided. According to a statement, the decision followed a “detailed analysis of the political and social situation in the region” and was “reached in consensus with key partners, including the United States, the forum’s main driving force,” along with the secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), who supported the postponement.

It’s Open Season On Public Sector Workers

First Trump and Musk take a chainsaw to their ranks, then the Democrats, in effect, lock out those who still have jobs. Approximately 100,000 government employees have lost their jobs since Trump took over. If that wasn’t bad enough, now the Democrats, trying to show that they really aren’t wimps, have shut down the government. Seven hundred and thirty thousand public sector employees are working without pay while another 670,000 have been furloughed. Working people of all shades, shapes, and sizes are suffering collateral damage.

Workers Could Lose Out On Disability Benefits

It’s never been easy to qualify for Social Security disability benefits. Christopher Tincher knows this firsthand. Tincher began his working life in a coal mine in Aflex, Kentucky, as a teenager in the 1980s. As mines across the region shuttered, he turned to scraping grills at a Hardee’s, then cleaning office buildings at night, then stocking shelves and changing tires at a Walmart in Arkansas. Later, he was hired by a nearby town’s wastewater department. Often, he had to wade into sewage to fix equipment and clean out feces, needles and tampons entering the treatment facility. In 2017, some of that liquid got into his work boots, which didn’t fit properly and had caused blisters to form. It soaked into his flesh, infecting his right foot all the way to the bone. Doctors cut his leg off below the knee so the infection wouldn’t spread.

Trump Is Clearly Losing The Trade War With China, Which He Started

Donald Trump is losing the trade war against China, which he himself started. Trump held an important meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in the South Korean city of Busan on 30 October. There, they came to a new agreement, which amounted to a one-year truce. The US government agreed to lift most of the punitive measures that it had imposed on China since April 2025, essentially bringing the situation back to what it was in January, when Trump entered office for his second term. Although this is not the end of the trade war, China clearly won this battle. The Financial Times (FT) noted that, “Unlike nearly 10 years ago, when Trump’s first trade offensive caught Beijing by surprise, this time a better prepared and economically more powerful China has been able to fight its once far mightier opponent to a standstill”.

Civil Society Should Be Resisting Trump’s Authoritarianism

This November, I’ll be standing outside the American Public Health Association’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., holding a sign that reads: “Ask me why I’m not allowed inside the APHA meeting.” After more than two decades as a member — serving as editorial board chair of the American Journal of Public Health, as an elected section chair, and as a governing councilor — APHA revoked my membership in September, stripped me of my elected leadership position, and banned me from attending meetings for two years. My offense? In November 2024, I participated in a protest at APHA’s Minneapolis meeting. Three dozen of us donned red latex gloves — signifying “blood on our hands” — and walked through the exhibit hall.

Trump Is Moving Relentlessly Toward Illegal War In Venezuela

As the Trump administration continues to murder people in small boats on the high seas and mounts the largest U.S. military buildup in decades in the Caribbean, it is moving inexorably toward an all-out, illegal attack and forcible regime change in Venezuela. Despite Team Trump’s feeble attempts to legally justify its ocean strikes, which have now killed 57 people since early September, those extrajudicial killings are also unlawful. Donald Trump’s murderous campaign came into focus on February 20, when the State Department designated eight drug trafficking organizations, including Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations.

How Libertarian Javier Milei Is Selling Argentina To Wall Street

The United States is propping up Argentina’s failing libertarian President Javier Milei and his ultra-neoliberal “anarcho-capitalist” experiment with $82 billion in debt. In fact, Trump basically bought Milei a victory in the October 2025 legislative midterm elections with this money. It was a successful US form of election meddling. People in Argentina now say openly that Milei is turning their country into a “colony of the US”. The US empire has clearly ensnared Argentina in a devastating debt trap. Milei has gleefully overseen the abrogation of his nation’s sovereignty, while cynically portraying himself as a “rebel”.
