Aaron Bushnell self-immolated on this day one year ago to call attention to the genocide in Palestine. A member of the US Air Force, Bushnell dressed in his military fatigues to self-immolate in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC. After pouring a flammable liquid on himself, he repeated “Free Palestine” until he couldn’t speak anymore. He died shortly after.
On February 25, 2024, the morning of his self-immolation, Bushnell posted on Facebook: “Many of us like to ask ourselves, ‘What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?’ The answer is you’re doing it. Right now.”
US leaders were silent on Bushnell’s extreme act of protest, and some media outlets labeled him as “mentally ill.” Bushnell’s sacrifice and courage have been honored by people from Yemen to Palestine, where there is now a street named after him in Jericho.

Mexico will ban any unauthorized intelligence gathering from foreign countries in a new constitutional reform. US agents, from the DEA, to the CIA, have long had a large presence in Mexico, and much of their work is under the veil of secrecy.
The move comes as a response to the Trump administration’s designation of cartels as terrorist organizations, which many fear is a prelude to a military attack. US intelligence gathering that claims to surveil cartels could be a cover for other interventionist projects.

Today, for Black History Month, we remember legendary South African socialist Steve Biko.
Born in the Eastern Cape in December 1946, Biko was raised in a township and, in 1966, secured a scholarship to study at the University of Natal Medical School. Initially, Biko became active in the moderate Union of South African Students (NUSAS) before founding the all-Black South African Students’ Organization (SASO).
SASO was based on Black consciousness, encouraging Black people to recognize their dignity and self-worth. As the concept of Black consciousness spread across South African universities, Biko became part of the Black People’s Convention, an umbrella organization for Black consciousness groups, in 1972.
On August 18, 1977, Biko and his friend Peter Jones were seized at a roadblock and jailed in Port Elizabeth. On September 11, he was driven 1,190 km to a prison hospital in Pretoria, where he tragically died the following day, aged only 30

What was Nasrallah's vision for Palestine?

Syrians say they will give their lives to protect their lands from Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed that southern Syria would be “demilitarized” and that they would “not allow HTS forces or the new Syrian army to enter the area south of Damascus.” The statements are seen as a prelude to annexation.
After the collapse of Bashar Al-Assad’s government, Israel swiftly expanded its occupation of Syrian territory to include Mount Hermon. It has since then established military bases and is now asserting it will remain there indefinitely.

Today, 39 years ago, millions of Filipinos took to the streets in a peaceful revolution to end the 20-year-long US-backed dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos.
Marcos ruled the Philippines with an iron fist, using the rise of the Communist Party’s New People’s Army and other militant groups as a pretext to declare martial law, terrorizing the country with counter-insurgency tactics.
Marcos’ attempted election fraud backfired and triggered a mass uprising across the country, known as the People Power Revolution, which eventually forced Marcos to flee the country.
The revolution not only changed the course of Philippine history but also inspired other movements in Asia and beyond.

No ceasefire on the ground. Relentless raids and settler violence are turning the West Bank into a battleground.
Launched on January 21 under the pretext of targeting armed groups, Israel’s “Iron Wall” operation has unleashed a brutal campaign across the occupied West Bank.
The operation has left entire families homeless, with Israeli tanks entering Jenin for the first time since the Second Intifada, and a rising death toll, echoing the horrors seen in Gaza. Far-right settlers, emboldened by the military presence, have targeted homes of recently released prisoners, turning the West Bank into yet another front of Israeli aggression.
Veteran Palestinian journalist Ali Samoudi, who was with Shireen Abu Akleh when she was murdered and was highly active during the Second Intifada, has been documenting the brutal realities unfolding in Jenin. “The situation is a lot more dangerous than during the First and Second Intifada,” Samoudi warns, pointing to the growing number of displaced families and rising deaths.

DPR Korean doctors are “violating” UN sanctions by providing medical services in DR Congo, according to US government-funded Radio Free Asia. What the UN report omits is that ongoing conflicts have left millions in DR Congo without much-needed medical services.
With one of the world’s lowest healthcare coverage rates, DR Congo’s hospitals and clinics lack personnel, equipment, and critical medicine. Decades of conflict—especially in the country’s east—have further restricted access to essential care. However, since 2019, UN Security Council Resolution 2397 has barred DPRK medical staff from working abroad.
Yet, the DPRK doctors in DR Congo wouldn’t be the only ones in Africa; reports indicate DPRK medical workers also operate in war-torn Libya and elsewhere. In the Republic of Congo, locals have even praised their presence: “Actually, this clinic saves a lot of people. Instead of going to big hospitals, we come here for first aid.”
