In the first week of July 2026, a heat dome settled over the central and eastern United States. Heat indexes reached 115 degrees. More than 185 million people were under heat alerts, and more than 30 people died before the heat broke. The real count will rise, because heat often kills through the heart, kidneys and lungs and is recorded as something else.

Every year, unsafe food causes 866 million illnesses and 1.5 million deaths, with young children suffering nearly a third of all cases of foodborne disease. This is the predictable outcome of a food economy organised around profit rather than the right to food.

The Patriot Front’s bold incursions into U.S. cities are a sign of their burgeoning strength and of the weakness of Black movement politics.

TIME framed Trump’s trade threat against Spain as another diplomatic feud, but the article’s own facts reveal U.S. coercion dressed up as alliance management. Beneath the spectacle sit the real mechanisms of power: NATO’s 5 percent military levy, the U.S. bases at Rota and Morón, Spain’s refusal to assist the Iran war, and the Franco-era military relationship that still shadows Spanish sovereignty. The deeper story is that NATO is not merely an alliance but a command system, and when a member state interrupts the chain of bases, budgets, airspace, and trade obedience, the empire shows its teeth. The task now is to defend every refusal of U.S. war access, amplify anti-base movements, reject the militarized robbery of public wealth, and turn the whole imperial logistics chain into a political target.

PragerU is trying to take over American schools. The right-wing, pseudo-educational group is now an official educational partner in at least ten states, and blitzes children with highly questionable messaging on race, history, and politics. Even more concerning, PragerU is led by former Israeli spy, Marissa Streit, who has stated she uses the tactics and techniques honed by IDF military intelligence on the American people.

The NATO summit taking place in Turkey this week was already looking fraught with simmering tensions between Trump and Europe. Now the jamboree in Ankara and the facade of unity are shattered by the dramatic liberation of Konstantinovka by Russian forces.

A new Prime Minister is coming.
He will have views on what he wants to do. Good intentions always meet unforeseeable events, and some events entirely foreseen from the decisions made by his predecessor’s health secretary.

Artificial intelligence is no longer only a technological race. It has become a contest over how economies create value, how societies organise work, and ultimately who exercises power. As the United States and China pursue sharply different AI strategies, they are also advancing competing answers to one of the defining questions of the twenty-first century: what—or who—creates value in an age of intelligent machines?

On June 27th, a plane ferrying a “specialized” team of “highly trained search and rescue specialists” flew into Venezuela from Damascus. Dispatched at putative Syrian leader Ahmad al-Sharaa’s direct order, the 15-strong group is assisting disaster efforts launched by Caracas in response to devastating twin earthquakes. Among them are members of the notorious White Helmets. A bogus humanitarian group constructed by MI6, they played a central role in Britain’s protracted coup of Bashar Assad. Are the White Helmets similarly in Venezuela to assist regime change?

Foreign Affairs calls China, Russia, Iran, and the DPRK “worse than an axis” because the empire has no honest language for sovereign coordination outside its command. The facts show not a secret plan to conquer humanity, but a growing architecture of multipolar development, sanctions resistance, national sovereignty, security cooperation, and global-governance reform. The real fear is that the Western capitalist-imperialist world system may no longer be able to keep the Global South fragmented, dependent, and obedient. Our task is to refuse the war script before the ruling class turns its panic into policy.
