The June 2026 issue spans 43 pieces across five continents, with US politics dominating the main news section. Dan La Botz contributes three articles tracking the Mamdani effect in New York, the Labor Notes conference, and the left’s electoral debate; David Finkel covers both the Iran deal collapse and Trump’s assault on Cuba. Latin America features heavily — Bolivia’s popular insurrection against President Rodrigo Paz, Peru’s disputed election result, Colombia’s presidential run-off, Argentina’s anti-capitalist left surge, and two pieces on Mexican drug cartel violence and pension reform.

Europe is well represented: two articles on Albania’s "Pink Flamingo Revolution" against coastal tourism development, two on Portugal’s general strike against labour law reforms, Belgium’s teachers’ revolt, a piece on Andalusia, and an article on Macron hosting the G7 in Évian. Ukraine, Palestine (the Gaza flotilla interception), Niger’s tightened anti-LGBTI laws, Senegal’s debt crisis, and the 50th anniversary of the Soweto uprising round out the global news coverage.

The Features section leads with three pieces on Ukraine — on anti-militarism, civil society under dual pressure, and Putin’s faltering economy — followed by analysis of West Bengal’s elections, the Kremlin’s role in Africa, global corporate profits, and a republished 1976 pamphlet on the British General Strike of 1926.

News from the FI covers the NPA’s 2027 electoral conference, earthquake solidarity in Mindanao, a new Ukrainian soldiers’ union, a Puerto Rican socialist statement on queer liberation, and the Fourth International’s summer camp in Switzerland.
