Trump’s machinery is taken apart from several angles — Malik Miah on the revoking of TPS as a "racist assault," Randy Furst on the surveillance state’s "rampage" behind the Minneapolis indictments, Patrick Le Moal tracing the policy back to colonialism, conquest and white supremacy, and Dan La Botz on the primary victories of DSA and progressive candidates.
South Africa marks the fiftieth anniversary of Soweto twice over: Terri Maggott on how the 1976 uprisings led to the people’s education movement of the mid-1980s, and Salim Vally on the uprising’s enduring significance, with Paul Martial asking who is responsible for xenophobia in the country today. MENA is dense — Babak Kia on the resumption of bombing and internal crisis in Iran, a collective statement for Iran’s political prisoners "trapped between two blades of a scissors," Miguel Urbán Crespo on Ceuta as "the boundary of the right to have rights," escalating repression in Morocco, and mobilisations over water and electricity in Tunisia, while Luiza Toscane reads climate events as a source of tension across the Arab world and Kunal Chattopadhyay takes the same thread to the political economy of the Himalayas.
Ukraine appears three times — Fred Leplat on building the convoy, Adam Novak on "the wrong lever" of Europe’s refugee question, Alice Pley from a Kyiv where "the street makes its voice heard." Europe and the Balkans follow, with Gerhard Klaas on three months of mass protest in Albania, Aleksandar Matković on the same enemy driving protests across the region, Dave Kellaway on Italy’s battle for the beaches, and Simon Hannah on what Jason Arday’s death says about British society. Éric Toussaint asks where Venezuela’s oil revenues have gone since Washington’s seizure, Israel Dutra weighs the stakes of Brazil’s October elections, Mónica Baltodano insists the Ortega-Murillo dictatorship "was not born of the revolution," Sushovan Dhar places India as "hinge, not pole" in a fragmenting global order, and Andy Durgan reflects on the Spanish Revolution of 1936.
The Features section is unusually theoretical: Sushovan Dhar on class struggle today and "the crisis of political form," Norbert Holcblat on modern counter-revolution and fascism, Farooq Tariq calling for a global anti-fascist and anti-imperialist front, Diogo Machado and Alexandre Abreu on the capitalist reconfiguration after hyperglobalisation, and Amir Kianpour and Morteza Samanpour on the "many shades of campism."
News from around the world carries four items: Sergio Ramírez’s open letter to President Lula, Anticapitalistas on the forest fires of summer 2026, Inprecor on a World Social Forum banned, suppressed and then reinstated, and Al Mounadil-a on "our ecosocialist and feminist alternative to the crisis of capitalist civilization."
