Haiti: Solidarity in a World at War

By Robert Roth, Haiti Action Committee [excerpts] As the world reels from the devastating U.S.-Israel war on Iran and Lebanon, and as the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide continues in Gaza and the West Bank, the Trump Administration’s plan to assert its dominance over the Americas is also moving forward at an unprecedented pace.

Imperialism-Induced Fault Lines

The Venezuelan Earthquake By Chris Gilbert and Cira Pascual Marquina [Excerpts] https://mronline.org/2026/06/29/imperialism-induced-fault-lines-the-venezuelan-earthquake/ There is no such thing as a purely natural disaster, especially in a country under siege.
