Belgian political leader Peter Mertens writes on how in the US, security forces move into working-class neighborhoods – not into the villas and golf clubs of Epstein or Trump.

🇨🇺Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel held a press conference to detail the urgent measures being implemented by the Cuban government as the island faces one of its most challenging periods yet.
The US government has openly threatened Cuba and tightened the stranglehold on the Cuban economy with the naval blockade of Venezuela and an executive order calling Cuba a threat to US national security. Key to Cuba's resilience in this moment, detailed the president, is international cooperation, especially in the efforts to make the island energy independent.

In a major victory for the Palestine solidarity movement, six Palestine Action activists who faced charges over a break-in at an Elbit Systems plant in Filton, near Bristol, were either acquitted or not convicted of all offenses.
“Despite government efforts to prejudice this trial, citing allegations of violence to justify treating Palestine Action as ‘terrorists,’ as if they were already proved, the jury which heard the evidence has refused to find the defendants guilty of anything, not even criminal damage,” a spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said following the verdict. “It shows how out of step this government is with public opinion, which is revulsed by the Government’s and Elbit’s complicity in genocide.”

Unlike social democratic projects in the West, Venezuela’s Bolivarian Revolution has set out to fundamentally transform society and build a socialist project rooted in class struggle and run by its people.
That means that the social advances are also tied to a process of raising consciousness among the population, whereby people become the protagonists of their own struggle in a process that ultimately seeks to give them the power and tools to run the country, replacing the bourgeois state with a communal one.

On February 6, dockworkers in more than 20 Mediterranean ports went on strike against war, militarization, and port privatization.
Unionists involved in preparing the action described it as the result of a long and complex process, built on dockworkers’ solidarity with Palestine and their struggles for dignified working conditions at home.
The impact of the strike was felt even before it fully unfolded on February 6, as reports emerged of ships – vessels that regularly transport military cargo to Israel – disrupting their itineraries due to the actions.

Speakers at the 2026 Igman March stressed that resistance to the far right must be unified and universal, conducted on all fronts and confronting the repressive agendas pursued by many governments in the region.
“Today, we take away the lesson of how to recognize fascism, how to identify the threat it poses – so that we can act against it,” said Mirsad Ćatić, president of SABNOR Sarajevo. “As we honor those who fought with weapons in hand against fascism, we also seek inspiration from their spirit of freedom. The Proletarians, the Partisans of that time, understood that the word ‘freedom’ remains just a word unless it is made real – unless it is liberated.”
“We are here not only to learn from the evils of the past, but also to draw inspiration from the freedom-loving spirit of our wise ancestors, and to confront this growing fascism with our own wisdom today,” he added.
