Happening now: Greece is on fire as a nationwide strike brings the country to a standstill. Hundreds of thousands swarm the streets, paralyzing multiple cities in a showdown with the state.
Riot police deployed tear gas, water cannons, mass arrests, and excessive violence. More than 80 people are detained, and at least five are injured in Athens alone, authorities report.
Masked protesters hurl Molotovs and makeshift explosives at police lines. Clashes erupt as demonstrators repeatedly try to breach barricades and storm the parliament in the capital.
Two years ago today, Greece suffered its deadliest train disaster—a catastrophe many blame on years of austerity, neoliberal policies, and a rotten infrastructure.

Newly released Epstein documents reveal… nothing. Attorney General Pam Bondi framed the release of files about the infamous pedophile and sex trafficker as monumental. In reality they contained redacted sections and information already previously released.
The files were first given to conservative influencers in order to promote the administration before they were released to the public. Amongst the documents released were flight logs and names of people associated with Epstein. A list of 254 names in a document titled “MASSEUSES” was entirely redacted.
Figures like Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew visited Epstein’s island notorious for being a site of sexual abuse. Trump’s name appears seven times in the flight logs, and in 2002 he called Epstein a “terrific guy” who is “a lot of fun to be around.”
In 2019, Epstein was arrested and charged with sex trafficking of minors. He allegedly died by suicide while awaiting trial, though many are skeptical of such a series of events.
At least 11 people were killed and many more injured in explosions at an M23 rally in Bukavu, eastern DR Congo. The attack comes after the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels took hold of the city earlier this month.
The Rwanda-backed M23 rebels blamed the bombing on the Congolese government. Meanwhile, DR Congo President Félix Tshisekedi attributed the attack to unspecified “foreign” forces.
M23 also claimed that attackers were among the dead. However, rebels and officials gave conflicting reports on the number of attackers and victims.

Violent clashes continue during the 24-hour national strike in Athens, Greece. Hundreds of thousands flood the streets across the country, paralysing entire cities.
The strike reflects the mounting public anger after years of austerity. It takes place on the second anniversary of Greece’s deadliest train crash in 2023, when at least 57 people died in a head-on collision between two trains.
The vast majority of Greeks blame austerity measures for the failure of safety systems that led to the deadly crash. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ right-wing government, re-elected after the disaster in 2023, has faced repeated criticism from victims’ relatives for refusing to launch a parliamentary inquiry into political responsibility.

“Jenin refugee camp does not exist right now”—Listen to Palestinian journalist Mariam Barghouti describing the devastating effects of the Israeli military operation on Jenin camp.
As Israel’s Operation Iron Wall enters its sixth week, analysts say that Israel’s long-standing goal to annex the occupied Palestinian territory is now clearer than ever. Recently, Israel deployed tanks in the West Bank for the first time in more than 20 years. Meanwhile, Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the army will remain in some refugee camps “for the next year” to ensure that residents cannot return.
The Israeli military operation has killed about 60 people, including 8 children. Over 40,000 refugees have been displaced, with at least 90% of the Jenin camp completely displaced. The population in the West Bank is experiencing forced displacement that surpasses the levels seen in 1967.
Watch red. media’s full report here for an in-depth look at Israel’s escalating military invasion.

Balkan border crossings dropped by 78%, not because migration has stopped, but because the EU’s escalating border violence has made it more deadly. EU-funded repression and crackdowns combined with the expansion of smuggling networks, often in collusion with authorities, have turned migration routes into war zones.
The EU hails this as a victory, recently rewarding Bulgaria and Romania with Schengen membership in exchange for their roles as border enforcers. But this “success” comes at a brutal cost. Refugees and migrants, forced to flee wars and economic crises fueled by Western policies, face increasing repression, violence, and even death at Europe’s militarized borders.

🟡 HAPPENING NOW: First images of Nael Barghouti, the longest-serving Palestinian political prisoner, being freed after spending 45 years in Israeli jails.
Nael was released in a prisoner exchange in 2011 after serving 34 consecutive years. However, in 2014, he was re-arrested along with 70 other freed prisoners in violation of the agreement. The Israeli government decided to reinstate his original 117-year sentence in military prison.
Today Nael has been forcibly deported to Egypt, along with nearly 100 other Palestinian prisoners released in this batch. The Israeli occupation prevented him from returning to his hometown of Kobar, in occupied Palestine.

Ukraine is now set to agree to the looting of its natural resources. On Friday, President Zelensky will meet Trump in New York to finalize an agreement granting US corporations access to Ukraine’s rare earth minerals, valued in the trillions.
Washington has funneled military aid to Ukraine, presenting itself as Kyiv’s key ally. But now, as the war drags on, the economic reality is setting in—the US wants returns on its investment, reinforcing a long history of US exploitation of weaker nations. With China dominating rare earth production, the US sees Ukraine’s resources as key to maintaining its global influence.
Meanwhile, at the start, Ukraine was full of optimism, believing Western promises of support and partnership. Now, it finds itself trapped entirely dependent on US support. Rejecting the deal would mean losing US backing, leaving Ukraine to fend for itself in a war it cannot sustain.

Nicaragua has introduced a new "voluntary police" force, composed of social movement and union members. The initiative is described as a measure to defend the Sandinista government against potential coup attempts. For years, the country has faced destabilization efforts from the US-backed opposition.
The “voluntary police” was signed into law as part of a set of recent constitutional reforms. Many of the reforms decentralize state institutions and devolve power and government funding to local pro-Sandinista community and social movement organizations.

Did you know that Chiang Kai-Shek, who shaped today’s Taiwan, was responsible for the massacre of over 30,000 people in Taiwan? Just two years before China’s Nationalist government fled to the island of Taiwan after losing to the Communists in mainland China, Nationalist troops brutally massacred up to 30,000 people in Taiwan in the name of anti-communism. These troops acted under the direct orders of Chiang Kai-Shek. He would go on to rule the island with an iron fist for several decades. The February 28 Massacre marked the beginning of decades of White Terror in Taiwan.

Cubans rallied in Guantanamo to call for the removal of the US’ torture camp. Its naval base is located on land that was stolen from Cuba. Local communist party leaders condemned Trump’s plans to deport migrants to the camp in violation of their human rights.
The Guantanamo Bay naval base is seen as a constant threat to Cuba’s sovereignty. Speakers at the rally pointed out that it has been used to plan coups and counter-revolutionary activity ever since 1959. Now that the current US government is taking an even more aggressive stance towards the island, there are fears that such activities at the base could intensify.

“Long live Hind’s Hall!”—Students stormed a building and launched a sit-in at Barnard College to demand amnesty for students expelled for a pro-Palestine action. After six hours, the students secured a meeting between university officials and two to three students that will take place today.
Two students were expelled for disrupting a “history of modern Israel” class on January 21 which students said “dodged questions of Palestinian self-determination and whitewashed the ongoing genocide.” Last spring, Columbia suspended scores of students for participating in the Palestine solidarity student encampment.
Students posed four demands to the administration. These included an immediate reversal of the two Barnard students’ expulsions, amnesty for all students disciplined for pro-Palestine action or thought, a public meeting with Barnard’s President and Dean, and the abolition of the “corrupt Barnard disciplinary process”.

red. media spoke with liberated Palestinian hostages in Gaza who saluted the resistance for securing their freedom while condemning the severe torture they endured in Israeli detention centers.
456 Palestinians were released from Israeli prisons, including 15 medical staff members and patients taken during the Israeli invasion of Kamal Adwan Hospital. Many prisoners arrived in a severely emaciated state, unable to walk due to brutal beatings and torture. They reported severe physical abuse, with beatings focused on the chest that fractured their ribs. One prisoner had an amputated hand and another an amputated foot, both due to untreated health conditions, including diabetes.
Israel keeps delaying the release of dozens of Palestinian hostages, including 24 children. Negotiations for the second phase have not begun, as Israeli violations of the ceasefire continue. In the last 48 hours, Gaza hospitals received 17 bodies and 19 injured Palestinians.

Today marks the start of the 2002 anti-Muslim pogroms in Gujarat, India, which led to the mass murder of almost 2,000 people. This episode of violence was not merely spontaneous or uncontrolled mob action; rather, it was methodically orchestrated and characterized by systematic targeting and violence against the Muslim community. The pogrom and the collaboration between governmental authorities and radical groups continue to serve as one of the foundational elements of violence against Muslims in India today.
