n May 21, activists with the Philadelphia chapter of the youth-led environmental justice group Sunrise Movement began a protracted hunger strike, vowing to starve themselves until Mayor Cherelle Parker committed to spending an extraordinary $1.19 billion municipal budget surplus on community programs.

Nate Bear examines the 2026 FIFA World Cup through the lens of visa denials, travel restrictions and security practices affecting teams, officials, journalists and supporters from several countries. The article argues that these measures, along with what the author sees as inconsistent international scrutiny of host nations, expose deeper patterns of racism, double standards and imperial power. It also criticises FIFA’s response and contrasts its stance toward the United States with the demands it imposed on previous World Cup hosts. The piece situates the tournament within broader debates over human rights, global inequality and accountability.

Former Bolivian President Evo Morales Ayma declared that the protests shaking Bolivia for the past month represent a popular rebellion against neoliberalism and a government that subordinates itself to the United States.
To any reasonable person, a ceasefire is exactly what it sounds like: It is the total cessation of military attacks to end a war. But to the mainstream American media outlets covering the U.S.–Israel war with Iran, what constitutes a “ceasefire” is a rhetorical exercise.
Israeli soldiers went door to door in the border village of Ain Arab, forcing residents from their homes at gunpoint as part of a systematic campaign to empty large swathes of southern Lebanon.
