Unions, Native People Fight Mining “Reforms” and Police Repression in Argentina: Indigenous people and workers are resisting a reform which attacks the right to protest. For weeks now, the people of Jujuy, Argentina, have been in the streets resisting right-wing political attacks on wages and the right to protest. In the past few days the conflict has escalated with severe police repression throughout the largely Indigenous and impoverished province.

The Great Bank Robbery Of 2023: The government pays banks big money while letting them rip off everyone else. The yawning gap between what you are paid on your deposits and what banks are earning from other institutions when they loan out or invest your money. It’s a caper that has quietly become a systemic upward transfer of wealth thrumming beneath the macroeconomy, but as you’ll see below, the theft can be stopped.

A Private Equity-Fueled Oil Disaster In Utah: Private financiers and fossil fuel drillers in Utah are planning to run crude oil trains along the fragile banks of the Colorado River, and get public money to build it. Back in May, Lever reporter Julia Rock investigated the corporate interests pushing the new rail project forward. In this long read, she talks with activists and insiders about why this project could be disastrous for the American West.

Russian Progressives and Antiwar Forces May Find Opening in Wake of Failed Coup: Yevgeny Prigozhin’s attempted coup is over, but it could still have far-reaching consequences for Putin’s government. While the U.S. made it clear that they had nothing to do with the uprising, it did take advantage of the moment to impose a new round of sanctions on the Wagner Group.

Prigozhin Told the Truth About Putin’s War in Ukraine: Yevgeny Prigozhin is a disinformation artist whose failed rebellion was marked by a burst of radical honesty. The truth, he said, was that “there was nothing extraordinary happening on the eve of February 24,” the day last year when Russian invaded. Ukraine was not planning any kind of attack against Russia, he added. Russia’s invasion “was started for a completely different reason,” Prigozhin said.

Biden Admin May Supply Cluster Bombs to Ukraine, Flouting Human Rights Concerns: Dual-purpose improved conventional munitions (DPICMs) are surface-to-surface warheads that burst and disperse deadly multiple, smaller bomblets over a wide area.

H.R. 3099 was Introduced in the House of Representatives on May 5, 2023. This bill, known as the “Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords Act,” is the latest act by the United States in the service of Israel. This bill establishes the position of Special Envoy for the Abraham Accords within the Department of State. The Abraham Accords are agreements to normalize relations between Israel and Arab states that do not recognize Israel. It is an anti-Palestinian accord more than anything.
