Today marks 74 years since the official beginning of the Korean War. Despite its devastating scope and crucial role in shaping today’s Korea, it remains largely forgotten in the West, overshadowed by WWII and the Vietnam War. Marked by immense destruction and countless massacres, the war cost the lives of up to five million people. Over 70 years later, rising tensions on the Korean peninsula beg the question: will there be another Korean War?

Protesters in Kenya have seized the parliament’s ceremonial Mace after hundreds stormed the parliament buildings as protests over the Finance Bill have shaken the country.
The Kenyan governmental website describes the ceremonial Mace as “a highly ornamented staff of metal, wood or other materials, carried by a Mace-bearer or placed before a sovereign or other high officials; in civic ceremonies or before a revered gathering to symbolize authority.”
According to Kenyan parliamentary tradition, the Mace is an essential part of parliamentary regalia, giving credence and legality to the assembly of national and local politicians. No formal business can be transacted in the absence of the Mace. As such, the protester’s seizure of the Mace represents another act of rebellion against the ruling order.

Hundreds of anti-tax protesters have stormed the Kenyan parliament, where lawmakers approved the controversial finance bill. The protesters stormed Parliament hours after police shot a number of protesters outside parliament buildings, overwhelming police and setting fire to a section of the parliament. So far, at least 10 protesters were shot dead as the compound was stormed.
Video footage from inside the parliament showed tables, chairs, and windows overturned and smashed up, while footage from outside showed fires, tear gas smoke, and dozens of armed police.
Meanwhile, MPs are said to have started escaping parliament through underground tunnels, as the protesters have taken over the compound.
The bill is yet to go through a third reading by lawmakers. The next step is for the legislation to be sent to President William Ruto for signing, who still has the possibility to send it back to parliament if he has any objections.

On this day in 1975, 49 years ago, Mozambique’s Maxist-Leninist liberation movement, the Mozambique Liberation Front, better known as FRELIMO, defeated Portugal’s colonial rule over the country.
In 1970, the Portuguese army launched “Operation Gordian Knot” to put down the liberation war, using napalm and scorched earth tactics, wiping out entire villages, as in the case of the “Wiriyamu Massacre.”
One of the leaders of FRELIMO was revolutionary socialist and independence leader Samora Machel, who became the first President of Mozambique on June 25, 1975, declaring “the total and complete independence of Mozambique and its constitution into the People’s Republic of Mozambique.”
Machel quickly nationalized land, healthcare, education, and other essential sectors to redistribute and provide for the people. In 1981, the CIA plotted to assassinate Machel and others and was accused by the Mozambican government of preparing to back a coup.

Clashes broke out between Zionists and pro-Palestine protesters in front of a Los Angeles synagogue hosting a real estate event for stolen Palestinian land.
Police assisted the Zionists by pushing, shoving, and assaulting the protest. Videos online show several brawls breaking out on the streets, with the police failing to intervene. As pro-Palestine protesters attempted to leave the area, Zionist mobs have been seen chasing down and assaulting them.
Mainstream media outlets and politicians were quick to label the protest as “anti-Semitic.” At similar protests against real estate auctions of Palestinian land, protesters have maintained that they are opposed to the promotion of settler colonialism, not Judaism.

Brazil’s unions and social movements mobilized against a new “rape law” that’s being pushed by right-wing parties in Congress. The law would deem any abortion after 22 weeks as homicide. Protesters say that many of those who have an abortion after 22 weeks are usually underage girls.
The law is being rushed through Congress by the President of the Lower House of Congress, Arthur Lira. Lira is a member of the Progressive Party, the organizational successor to the former military dictatorship. President Lula rejected the bill and called it “madness.”

Kenya’s current protests are also against US imperialism, says Vice-Chairperson Communist Party of Kenya Booker Ngesa Omole.
Mass protests have been rocking the country this past week as Kenyans reject a new finance bill that would raise regressive taxes, particularly VAT. The bill would significantly increase the prices of everyday goods that working-class Kenyans buy.
Kenya’s government, led by President Willliam Ruot, is a close ally of the US government. He has demonstrated his subservience by preparing Kenya’s security forces to lead a US-funded intervention in Haiti while applying neoliberal austerity measures at home.

A total shutdown is gripping Kenya. Protests against crippling tax hikes have intensified with police resuming their crackdown this morning. A nationwide strike is underway to pressure President William Ruto’s government to abandon the reforms.
Before noon, police forces were already firing tear gas, water cannons, and rubber bullets at protesters. Videos are circulating on social media showing the first severe injuries of the day. Last week, police killed a 29-year-old protester in Nairobi during anti-austerity protests.
Organizers have designated today a “Total Shutdown” to kickoff the “7 Days of Rage” movement, which will include occupying parliament in response to the murder of the protester.
The proposed tax comes amid an already dire economic situation in Kenya. According to a recent Infotrak report, 73% of Kenyans are either in severe financial distress or failing to make ends meet.

Who is to blame for the overturning of Roe vs. Wade? Two years ago today, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade, a ruling that previously gave women the right to have an abortion. Democrats will have you thinking that they had nothing to do with this shameful attack on women.
In actuality, Democrats purposefully avoided codifying this right for their political gain. In 2007, then-Presidential candidate Barack Obama said his first legislative priority was guaranteeing the right to abortion (spoiler alert: he bailed on that promise too). Furthermore, when Joe Biden was elected as president in 2020, Democrats held the majority in the House and the Senate.
As calls to abandon Genocide Joe for his annihilation of Palestine mount, Democrats are shaming voters by masquerading as the only party that protects women’s rights.

One year ago today, Russia's Wagner Group began its mutiny against Moscow, thrusting private military companies (PMC) into the global spotlight like never before. Despite the media attention, the bigger phenomenon of “guns for hire” used by governments worldwide has largely remained under the radar. Let's take a closer look.

Israeli forces tied an injured Palestinian to the hood of a jeep, using him as a human shield as they raided the occupied West Bank city of Jenin. Mujahed Azmi, the young man tied to the vehicle, is currently receiving treatment for his wounds.
“They drove me back and forth for 20 minutes. I had hoped to be dead before the Israeli soldiers arrived. I had expected them to attend to my wounds, not beat and batter me while I already had two critical injuries,” Mujahed said in an interview.
While supporters of Israel’s war of extermination against the Palestinian people are quick to accuse the Palestinian resistance of using “human shields,” the latest incident in Jenin leaves one asking the question of which side is really using human shields.
