We need a new observatory of democracy in the Americas. On 20 October, the US secretary of state, Antony Blinken, traveled to Ecuador to set out a vision for democracy in the Americas. Over the past five years, the hemisphere has suffered an assault on its democratic institutions, as political leaders from Donald Trump to Jair Bolsonaro have adopted a […]

For decades, the people on Navajo Nation have had no drinking water, due to uranium mining. Today, the Eastern Navajo Diné Against Uranium Mining (ENDAUM) submitted the additional documents needed for a petition it filed in 2011 against the United States over the issue, to the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. In a Washington Post Live program on Tuesday, Navajo Nation President Jonathan Nez said […]
A court in Athens has found seven former parliamentarians who were members of the extreme right-wing Neo-Nazi political party Golden Dawn guilty of running a criminal organization after a marathon five year trial. Police fired tear gas amore than 10,000 people gathered outside the courthouse as the panel of judges deliberated the fate of 68 defendants that included 18 former lawmakers of the party that became Greece’s third-largest political party during the height of the country’s economic crisis in the early 2000s. The trial wrapped four cases—including the fatal stabbing of Greek rap singer Pavlos Fyssas, attacks on migrants and left-wing […]

Our latest joint production with Tatuy Televisión Comunistaria looks at five examples of revolutionary organization in Venezuela: El Maizal Commune, Pueblo a Pueblo, the Pobladoras Movement, Tinta Violeta and the Campesino Struggle Platform. Amidst a tough crisis and a muderous blockade, these organizations (and many others) have doubled down in their efforts to resist and deepen the Bolivarian Revolution.

US President Donald Trump said NBA has become “like a political organization,” as the basketball league announced the second straight day of no playoff games due to the ongoing boycott in the name of social justice. “I don’t know much about the NBA protest. I know their ratings have been very bad because I think people are a little tired of the NBA,” Trump said on Thursday. They’ve become like a political organization, and that’s not a good thing. Within minutes, the NBA announced none of the games scheduled for Thursday would be played either. The league was “hopeful to resume […]

On Wednesday, the NBA postponed some playoff games amid protests sparked after Jacob Blake, a 29-year old Black man, was recently paralyzed after being shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The NBA’s move came after the Milwaukee Bucks’ decision to boycott the games. “I don’t know much about the NBA protest. I know their ratings have been […]
Citing health concerns, the president of the National Organization for Women stepped down Sunday, amid a flurry of allegations of racism at the nation’s oldest and largest feminist organization. In an email to the NOW board, state presidents, and staff on Sunday night, President Toni Van Pelt announced she would be stepping down with two weeks’ notice effective Aug. 28. Vice President Christian Nunes will take her place, and the board will begin the process of appointing a new vice president. In her email, Van Pelt said she had been struggling with a “very painful health issue” over the last year […]
St Louis, Missouri attorney Kim Gardner, probably best known for trying to prosecute the McCloskey couple, took trips paid for by a George Soros-backed group and never reported them, a local news outlet claims. The trips, according to an investigative report by KMOV-TV, were funded by Fair and Just Prosecution, an organization Soros has contributed to – he has also donated to Gardner’s political campaigns. Not reporting the funded trips could be a violation of state and city law. According to the report, the attorney’s trips were “problematic” beyond apparently just being kept in the dark from the public. During various […]
I’m not an unorganized person or a messy person. And yet, until recently, I’ve felt like things were fairly out of order, and like my life lacked essential organization. From the kitchen to the bathroom and beyond, there are tons of things I have trouble finding or remembering where they are. Thankfully, I finally made the investment in something I knew I needed, but never thought to purchase to solve this issue: a label maker. The Brother P-Touch Label Maker is like a personal trainer: it’s motivated me to go above and beyond my wildest organization dreams. It’s extremely easy to […]
The Trump campaign’s payments to the Trump Organization for a week-long “donor retreat” at Mar-a -Lago earlier this year look awfully similar to money laundering. Investigative reporter David Fahrenthold tweeted out the receipts earlier this week, showing $380,000 in payments over two days, broken into chunks of $10,000 and less—which happens to be the reporting requirement for receipt of cash payments in a trade or business to FinCEN (the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network)—that he described as “Campaign donations turned into private revenue for POTUS.” The Trump Organization’s record of the payment raises many questions I’m familiar with from my 30-year career […]
As criticism and conspiracy theories swirled around the World Health Organization at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, the global public health body turned to a white-shoe lobbying and PR shop to help navigate a media landscape rife with misinformation. In May, the WHO inked a contract with public relations giant Hill+Knowlton Strategies, an industry leader with offices in more than 40 countries, to develop a blueprint for effective communications in the midst of a modern public health crisis. “It has never been a more critical time to ensure that public health messages are understood and resonate across the world,” declared […]
The US will leave the World Health Organization in almost exactly a year, the UN has confirmed, after President Donald Trump finalized the country’s withdrawal over its “failure” to blame China for the coronavirus pandemic. After issuing a 30-day ultimatum in May demanding the WHO get tough on China, which his administration has blamed for attempting to conceal the deadly Covid-19 outbreak, Trump has begun the process of extricating the US from the global health body. The UN confirmed the move on Tuesday, adding that the US will officially leave the WHO on July 6 of 2021. Also on rt.com Plot […]
Two National Organization for Women board members say the group is retaliating against them and seven others for speaking up about racism within the iconic organization. The nine board members—including all four women of color on the board—previously called for President Toni Van Pelt’s resignation after a Daily Beast investigation revealed widespread allegations of racism in the group’s chapters and national headquarters. Now, according to board members Nina Ahmad and Victoria Steele, the whistleblowers are being subjected to an internal grievance process meant to keep them from speaking out. “We refuse to be silent on this matter because to be silent […]
We reported on May 30th the recent riots in Democrat-led cities around the country were coordinated and related to three main groups: 1) US based Islamist Organizations, 2) Domestic terrorists, and 3) Others related to the Democrat Party. Today we uncover a fourth major contributor, a Clinton pardoned member of the Weather Underground, Susan Rosenberg. There clearly was no reason for the mass riots taking place around the country after the death of the individual at the hands of the police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Everyone who saw the police brutality was appalled and outraged at the sight of the policeman kneeling […]
The corrupt World Health Organization did a complete 180 on Monday. The WHO is now admitting that asymptomatic spread of the Coronavirus is “very rare.” For months, the world was told to stay home and if you dare go out in public, wear a mask and stay 6 feet away from each other. For months, the world was told that the Coronavirus would kill millions in the US alone because the virus would be difficult to contain due to asymptomatic transmission and infections. TRENDING: Wow!

Monica Weeks knew she was taking a risk when she ran for vice president of the National Organization for Women. She was young—29 years old—and campaigning on the first all-women-of-color ticket in the organization’s 50-year history. Her friends thought the group was old-fashioned, and her mother, an immigrant from Cuba, was anxious about her taking on such a high-profile role. But recent family events, coupled with the devastating results of the 2016 election, had convinced her that now was the time to step up. That’s how Weeks found herself in front of a sea of older white women at the Colors […]

This article was published originally by PassBlue, a partner of The Daily Beast which provides independent coverage of the United Nations. It was written by Barbara Crossette. Two weeks after President Trump fired off a characteristically intemperate letter to the director-general of the World Health Organization, accusing him of incompetence in dealing with the COVID-19 crisis, the reputation of the agency has been damaged far less than the image of the United States. That is, to judge by the reaction of global public health specialists. In the days that followed, the four-page, prosecutorial-sounding letter to Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus created shockwaves. The […]

Roddie Bryan of Brunswick, Georgia Trump and Barr are making every effort to contain the investigation into the vicious murder of Ahmaud Arbery who would be 26 years old today. Arbury was gunned down by a semi-official ‘posse’ led by former Chief Investigator for local District Attorney Caroline Small, a Gregory McMichael. The “group” behind this, as is now widely alleged, includes all levels of government and law enforcement in Glenn County, Georgia. However, the current death is only one of many and though the most recent iteration of Klan rule in Brunswick, Georgia is through the local Trump organization, this […]
