Thousands protest in Paris over death of immigrant worker in police custody
Thousands of people marched in Paris on Sunday in protest at the death in police custody of 35-year-old El Hacen Diarra, whose violent arrest on January 14 was caught on camera. Paris police have launched an internal investigation into what happened, but Interior Minister Laurent Nunez has rejected calls for the officers concerned to be suspended.

Irish health workers think patients have been conditioned to accept “unacceptably low standard” of care
The research identifies high rates of understaffing and resulting pressure on workers, top-down communication, and faltering quality of care as some of the key problems. “Stress from understaffing and poor retention in the health and social sector contribute to a vicious circle that is draining the service, particularly of more senior, experienced workers,” the report states. “More than three quarters of survey respondents reported that they often think about leaving their current role.”

The Right to Abortion in Puerto Rico Is Under Threat
Abortion is legal in Puerto Rico … for now. But Governor Jennifer Gonzalez recently signed a law establishing legal personhood of a fetus from the moment of conception. The law gives the fetus similar personhood rights as an unborn child. For example, the mother can claim the child to get financial benefits or name it as her heir. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned in the United States in 2022, several measures to restrict abortion have been introduced in Puerto Rico, though none had previously succeeded. Abortion remains technically protected under the right to privacy in the island’s Constitution. However, feminist groups and activists are mobilizing and are warning that laws like this threaten abortion rights. On December 22, the Coalition Aborto Libre Puerto Rico (Free Abortion Puerto Rico) called for a pañuelazo (a mass demonstration for abortion rights, specifically in Latin America, where activists gather to publicly raise and wear green bandanas) in rejection of this law. Building off the Marea Verde movement in Latin America for abortion rights, protesters called for the protection of women rights and denounced how the state is dismantling immigrant and LGBTQ+ rights.

Mexico weighs stopping oil shipments to Cuba amid concerns of Trump retaliation, sources say
Publicly, Sheinbaum has said Mexico will continue oil shipments to Cuba, saying they are based on longterm contracts and considered international aid. But the senior Mexican government sources said the policy is under internal review as anxiety grows within Sheinbaum's cabinet that the shipments could antagonize Trump. Mexico is trying to negotiate a review of the USMCA North American trade pact, while also persuading Washington it is doing enough to combat drug cartels and that U.S. military action against the groups on Mexican territory is neither welcome nor needed.

The Year of the Billionaire Tax
In 2025 alone, the six richest men in the country (and world) became $476 billion richer. During that year, the Trump regime cut back Medicaid — the federal medical assistance program relied on by over seventy million Americans, including four out of ten children — in order to bankroll lowering taxes for the rich. The bulk of the cuts are expected to hit Medicaid programs following the 2026 midterm elections, and they will hit ordinary Americans hard. Donald Trump’s 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act will raise out-of-pocket costs dramatically and kick millions of people off insurance, many of them children, as well as nearly a third of young people between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four. For California’s state medical assistance program, Medi-Cal, federal cuts are expected to drain $100 million over the next five years, potentially collapsing the state’s health care system. That means millions of people losing coverage and families needing to make hideous choices between food, housing, and medicine, as so many are already forced to. It means hospitals and clinics closing and tens of thousands of health care jobs evaporating. For a state already struggling with vast inequality and a homelessness crisis, it would have a catastrophic impact. Fun fact: there are 214 billionaires residing in California worth a collective $2 trillion. If you carved out just 5 percent of that hoarded wealth for public use, you could fill the Medi-Cal gap and fund the state’s health care system. That’s precisely what a proposed ballot initiative aims to do.

Trump administration weighs naval blockade to halt Cuban oil imports
“Energy is the chokehold to kill the regime,” said one person familiar with the plan who was granted anonymity to describe the private discussions. Deposing the country’s communist government – in power since the Cuban revolution in 1959 – is “100 percent a 2026 event” in the administration’s eyes, this person added. The effort would be justified under the 1994 LIBERTAD Act, better known as the Helms-Burton Act, this person added. That law codifies the U.S. embargo on Cuban trade and financial transactions.

The secession of the kneegrows owner was the best thing to happen in North America. It separated the wheat from he chaff. Our guys should have opposed the war and when it started supported the South to make the war last as long as possible.

Nah.
Lincoln was essentially trying to catch the momentum of a simultaneous real revolution (the revolution of the slaves and abolitionists) up into the US conflict with the secessionists. The Lincoln faction weren't absolute good guys per se, but there would be absolutely no reason to root for the Confederacy, and Lincoln himself was a positive historical actor which is why he was ultimately assassinated by a long-time friend of his close acquaintance Simon Wolf, and replaced by people who made more and more capitulations to the former slave-holding class.

Simon Wolf was actually arrested at one point by Union forces under the suspicion that, through B'Nai B'Rith, Wolf had been engaging in treason and aiding the Confederacy. Simon Wolf's Masonic lodge also pledged loyalty to Albert Pike, a confederate general and Sovereign Grand Commander of the Supreme Council, Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction.

The Confederacy actually could have won militarily, which would have been the worst possible outcome. At multiple times during the war, they had the upper hand. Supporting them would have been an extremely bad idea.

Them winning independence would have been a win for them, which would be bad. Lincoln would still probably get assassinated, and the success of the secession would mean a massive, militarized expansionist chattel slave state to the south of the US whose influence would likely be greater than that of the defeated south. The betrayal of the Union victory after the war ultimately came from capitulations by Lincoln's successors, which would probably still have happened even if the north lost, it would just be in an even worse position.

Slavery was living on borrowed time at that point and was being replaced worldwide by capitalist production. American historians sometimes call the Civil War the Second American Revolution, emphasizing that the First American Revolution had largely skipped over the South in its effects. The Second American Revolution simply concluded unfinished business. Even if the Confederacy had won the war the relentless march of materialist development would have ended slavery eventually. The North's economic system proved superior at industrial warfare and this capacity was only going to improve over time.

NUUK, Jan 24 (Reuters) - Greenland's capital Nuuk experienced a citywide power outage late on Saturday that local utility provider Nukissiorfiit said was due to an accident, adding that it was working to provide backup power.

The blackout occurred simultaneously across the city, according to eyewitness accounts.

Nukissiorfiit and Greenland's police issued statements on Facebook about the outage, but neither provided details on the accident.

The disruption followed an update to Greenlandic authorities' emergency preparedness guidelines earlier in the week, in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's expressed interest in acquiring the Danish territory.

PCV demands answers from the government over the presence of the CIA chief in Venezuela
The Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV) demanded that the government leadership provide clear and transparent explanations regarding the presence in the country of the Director of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), John Ratcliffe, whom it described as “a nefarious figure for the peoples of the world,” and whose visit — the Party denounced — has not been officially communicated to the Venezuelan people. This was stated by Oscar Figuera, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the PCV, when presenting the conclusions of the 19th Plenum of the Central Committee, which met last Saturday, 17 January, to assess the country’s economic, political, and social situation — a situation marked, he said, by the recent U.S. military aggression and the establishment of direct tutelage over the Venezuelan state. “The presence of the highest representative of the CIA in Venezuela is evidence of the changes taking place to guarantee the interests of big capital and U.S. imperialism,” Figuera stated. He added that Ratcliffe is an official who, according to information reported in the media, “is closely linked to the military operation of 3 January, to the aggression against our country, and to the killing of a significant number of Venezuelan and Cuban military personnel.”

What you should know about the Syrian government-SDF truce agreement
A central pillar of the ceasefire deal revolves around the integration of the Syrian Democratic Forces into Syrian state institutions. Under the truce deal, SDF fighters and security personnel are to be individually vetted before being integrated into Syria’s defence and interior ministries. Civilian institutions that were previously administered by branches of the SDF are also stipulated to be absorbed into state structures, per the agreement. Al-Sharaa said that the current ceasefire plan remains in line with the 10 March agreement, which called for the integration of all civil and military institutions to be under the control of Damascus.

DOJ says won’t investigate ICE agent’s fatal shooting of Renee Good
Speaking to Fox News on Sunday night, Blanche said the civil rights unit of the Justice Department would not bow to pressure to investigate the shooting death of Minneapolis resident and mother Good, 37, earlier this month. “We don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody,” said Blanche. “We investigate when it’s appropriate to investigate.” “So, no, we are not investigating. And if there comes a time when we need to, we will, but it’s not now,” Blanche added.

BONUS - I Want My M(amdani)TV (Chapo Trap House)
Over the holiday, Will and Chris caught up with Donald Borenstein, Andrew Epstein and Debbie Saslaw of the Mamdani media team to discuss how their video and online strategy helped win the campaign’s stunning victory. We look at their team’s success as the result of years of NYC organizing, how the candidate’s principles and policy informed the media strategy, the right and wrong lessons on political communication from their campaign, and the bizarre outsider art of Adams & Cuomo’s video output.

Ecuador to impose 30% tariff on Colombian goods from February
Colombian Energy Minister Edwin Palma blasted the tariffs as "economic aggression" in a social media post, saying he had ordered the dismantling of a recent initiative to allow private firms to take part in energy sales between both countries to limit potential scarcity. "Colombia has acted with facts, cooperation, and solidarity," he said, noting Colombia provides 8% to 10% of Ecuador's power consumption. "That is why dialogue between nations is essential, not unilateral measures that only harm our peoples," he added.

Venezuelan Banks Receive 300M from US-Administered Crude Sales, Gov’t Officials Defend Oil Reform
According to Ecoanalítica, Banesco, BBVA Provincial, Banco Mercantil, and Banco Nacional de Crédito offered a combined $150 million to customers on Tuesday via foreign exchange auctions, with the rest of the funds expected to be made available by the end of the week. Unofficial reports suggested that private sector importers in the food and healthcare sectors would be given priority. Analyst Alejandro Grisanti stated that the dollars were purchased slightly below 400 bolívars (BsD) per USD. Unlike in prior exchange tables, the banks were not obliged to use the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank, which stands currently at 347 BsD per USD.

Unions and students seek Columbia University board reforms after Trump deal
The decision comes after more than two years of what they say is disenfranchisement over the way Columbia's board of trustees has handled several issues, including permitting the police to target the student body multiple times while they were protesting against Israel’s war on Gaza and capitulating to the Trump administration’s demands over alleged violations of federal anti-discrimination laws.

House Republicans vote to lift 20-year ban on mining near pristine Boundary Waters Canoe Area
Congressional Republicans moved closer Wednesday to lifting a 20-year ban on mining near Minnesota’s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, pushing a resolution to end the moratorium through the House despite environmentalists’ warnings that it could devastate a premier destination for campers, kayakers and canoeists. The resolution now goes to the Senate, and approval there would send it to President Donald Trump for his signature.

Communist Party of the Philippines: Corruption, injustice, abuses drive Filipino youth to revolution
Over the past week or two, the US-Marcos regime has mounted a frenzied media and social media campaign to intimidate and threaten the Filipino youth, who, more and more are growing disenchanted amid deep and widespread social ills, and are being drawn to question the rotten ruling system and seek radical and revolutionary ways to end corruption, injustice and abuses by those in power. This campaign to intimidate and threaten the Filipino youth is part of Marcos’ arsenal of fascist tactics to maintain his grip on power and preserve the ruling system, by suppressing the youth’s and people’s aspirations for change. This blatant assault against the youth is spearheaded by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), the NTF-Elcac, and their mercenary hacks behind the Marcos government’s propaganda machinery. They have mobilized funds to activate and coordinate their social media troll army to drown out posts critical of the Marcos government in a deluge of spam comments, and throw their weight around to push their narrative in the press and public discourse. The Marcos psyops campaign heightened after a student researcher from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, 22-year old Jerlyn Rose Doydora, died on January 1 in Abra de Ilog, Mindoro Occidental, amid relentless aerial bombing and strafing by the AFP, following an armed encounter. Another youth, 24-year old Chantal Anicoche, was taken into custody by the fascist soldiers, and illegally detained for a week, before being surfaced amid public outcry. Three Mangyan children were reportedly killed in the aerial bombing which was carried out in the proximity of mountain communities.
