Protesters in Mali Demand the Departure of French Troops
In mid-January, as workers in France took to the streets against Macron’s pension reform, French flags burned on the streets of Bamako, Mali to repudiate the presence of French troops.

Puerto Rico is Crumbling. The U.S. is Responsible
Puerto Rico has been ravaged by a series of natural disasters since 2017. Though it is a U.S. “territory,” the U.S. government has failed to provide adequate aid or assistance.

It’s Time To Rebuild the Anti-War Movement
The US’s assassination of Qasem Soleimani last week is a clear demonstration that the US has no intentions of ever pulling out of the Middle East.
