    Trump Increases Repression Against Political Enemies and the Left

    29 September, by Dan La Botz

    President Donald Trump, breaking with U.S. norms, is using the Justice Department to pursue his political enemies, going after liberal and progressive foundations and NGOs, and sending more troops to another American city to intimidate protestors. He has fired Justice Department attorneys who are unwilling to put his orders above the law and replaced them with flunkeys who will carry out his demands. He has promised “retribution” to his high-level political opponents and is now meting it out.

    28 January 2024, by Charles-André Udry

    A belated tribute to Ernesto Herrera, who died on 10 January 2024. The shock had to be absorbed. A comrade-friend, with a hyphen of fraternity and not of union, in order to respect his personal trajectory.
    Born on 22 May 1949, Antonio Maria Nuñez Guglielmi was part of the Spanish and Italian emigration that settled in Uruguay, a country that experienced exceptional growth from 1910 until the early 1950s. An activist, he chose as his pseudonym the name of a writer who, among other things, (…)

    21 December 2023, by Paul Le Blanc

    A momentous development has drawn my attention away from the unfolding climate catastrophe on which I have been riveted.
