The Senate vote on the constitutional bill concerning New Caledonia marks a new stage in the erosion of the Kanak people's right to self-determination. Behind an institutional veneer, the government is pursuing a strategy of strong-arming, which must be stopped by mobilization.

President Donald Trump's war on Iran is barbarous, cruel, vicious, undertaken and carried out without a bit of concern for the millions of human beings it is affecting in Iran, in the region, and throughout the world. The nature of the war was revealed on the first day, 28 February , when the United States hit a school in Minab and killed an estimated 175 people, 100 of them children. Attacks on civilians are a war crime, all too common a war crime in all modern wars. Now Trump is threatening an even greater war crime.

The Israeli colonial state did not need a new law to kill Palestinians. Yet, on Monday, 30 March 2026, the Israeli parliament passed a law establishing the death penalty, by hanging, for Palestinians — and only for Palestinians.

The war is fuelling the profits of fossil fuel companies while aggravating the ecological and social crisis. Faced with exploding prices and organized dependence on all oil, it is urgent to impose immediate measures while breaking with fossil capitalism.

Fascism has been, over the last decade, and especially more recently, an object of vigorous debate on the left. But, as a long editorial from the Salvage collective bemoaned about debates over what to make of Russia's war on Ukraine, much of this debate has been stuck in the ditch of historical analogy. Is Trumpism more like Mussolini's or Hitler's fascism? When we stack up all the measures of rights violated and attacked, does the far right today pass the test of comparison with major fascist events of the 20th century?

The Together Alliance march against the far right on Saturday, 28 March, was probably the biggest anti-fascist protest in British history. It was comparable to some of the early Palestine solidarity demonstrations.

Local elections were held in France on 15 March (first round) and 22 (second round). The confusion that has emerged, one year before the presidential election, is a sign of a fragmentation of the central bloc and the right, which is likely to produce a shift towards the far right and, in the face of this, a splintering of the forces of the Nouveau Front populaire (New Popular Front - NFP) which compromises the construction of a unitary alternative.

Never had a military initiative of the Lebanese Hezbollah (literally, Party of God) been so much repudiated in Lebanon as its decision on March 2 to launch rockets across the country's southern border with the Israeli state, in retaliation against the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. This opening salvo was immediately seized upon by the Zionist state as a pretext to launch a long-premeditated invasion of southern Lebanon.

This year, 2026, marks the 20th anniversary of the occupation of Aracruz Celulose by women from the Landless Rural Workers' Movement (MST), Via Campesina and the World March of Women – a milestone in the radicalisation of women's struggles in our country and across Latin America.

A REVOLUTIONARY FEMINIST position on Iran must refuse the false and damaging binary that demands choosing between defending the Islamic Republic and endorsing US-imperialist and Zionist intervention. This is a constructed choice designed to collapse political judgment into campism. It converts solidarity into a competition of moral allegiances and leaves ordinary people, workers, women, youth, and minorities to a reality shaped simultaneously by internal repression as well as external militarized destruction.

Land Day, on 30 March, marks a central moment in Palestinian history: in 1976, a general strike broke out in historic Palestine against the confiscation of land belonging to Arabs by the state of Israel. It was the first mass mobilization of Palestinians in the 1948 territories, where they are supposed to be “equal”. The targeted lands are located in particular in Sakhnin, Arraba and Deir Hanna, as part of the policy of “Judaizing Galilee”. On that day, six unarmed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces during demonstrations. 50 years later, the Palestinians are still there and continue to fight against the confiscation of land and the bloody repression of the Israeli state.

Eight million people in the United States participated in 3,300 No Kings protests against President Donald Trump and his policies, marching in all 50 states on Saturday, 28 March . I marched with my family in Brooklyn, New York.

The people's vote has rejected the right‑wing's government's subversive plan. Now let us mobilise to bring down the government, stop the war and rearmament, and reclaim the civil and social rights taken from the working class!

The arson attack on four ambulances in a North London synagogue car park [1] was an antisemitic hate crime. ACR condemns this unequivocally. We call on others to do the same, regardless of the claimed motives of the attackers or the alleged views of some synagogue members. Israel's genocidal war crimes in Palestine and across the Middle East offer no justification for an attack on a public service provided by the Jewish community in Britain.

There remains a world to win for transgender people, but what kind of socialism is capable of winning it? Echo Fortune gives her answer.

Pronatalism—the ideology that birth rates are too low and must be raised by implementing policies that get people to have children—has been having a cultural moment in the United States.

Anti-gender mobilisation has become a defining feature of far-right movements since around 2015; and is now a tactic widely adopted by authoritarian governments across the political spectrum. From overturning abortion rights in the United States (US) to rescinding protection against domestic violence in Türkiye, institutions that defend women's rights are being systematically dismantled. These patterns align with a global decline in democracy, with over 75% of the world's population now living under restricted freedom. The correlation is not coincidental. As democratic institutions weaken, attacks on gender-based rights accelerate the decline and provide a roadmap for it.

The results of the local elections reflect a confusing picture of the political landscape. On Sunday evening, on the television programmes, everyone from the RN to LFI claimed to have emerged as the winner from this round of elections.

For several months, the French government has been trying to impose on Kanaky an exit from the framework of the Nouméa Accords, by calling into question the decolonization process, even though it is recognized by the UN. The so-called “Bougival Agreement”, imposed in July 2025 against the advice of the Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS), provides for the creation of a “state” of Kanaky-New Caledonia integrated into the French republic. A formula that in no way corresponds to independence.

Cesar Chavez, who in the 1960s led the struggles of Mexican Americans for civil rights and of farmworkers for labor unions, was accused in a carefully researched New York Times article of having raped women and sexually abused girls as young as 13. Among those women was Dolores Huerta, herself a founder and leader of the union, who confirmed that he forced himself on her and fathered two of her children, secretly raised by others. Debra Rojas reported that Chavez had had intercourse with her when she was 15, which is rape under state law because she was too young to give legal consent.
