The Trump administration has been blowing up fishing boats in the Caribbean — and now one in the Pacific — claiming without evidence that they’re “drug boats.” These are extrajudicial executions outside any system of law. And there’s a reason we shouldn’t allow drug warriors to act as judge, jury, and executioner: because over the […]| Progreso Weekly
The Donald Trump administration is waging war on Venezuela, but this is part of a larger political war on Latin America. In the first year of Trump’s second term as president, the U.S. government has: killed dozens of people without charges or trial in US military strikes on boats in the Caribbean and the eastern Pacific, […]| Progreso Weekly

Gen Z-led uprisings across the Global South point to long-term socioeconomic and environmental crises caused by neoliberalism. Yet they have often been coopted by entrenched social classes. Can their energy be channelled towards progressive ends?|
To understand and struggle against the current state of contemporary surveillance, as an abolitionist imperative, is to recognize that dismantling the prison is inseparable from disrupting the exchange and proliferation of the tools and mechanisms of a borderless, digitized captivity.

A key element of the philosophy that made Radio Free Dixie important was the understanding of the interconnectedness of global struggle. The show made it clear that the same capitalist forces that killed and brutalized people around the world were the same that made life miserable for Black folks in the U.S. Read more via Scalawag: Radio Free Dixie: A revolutionary cultural institution.| Scalawag

Black music has long been an important tool for soft power, manufacturing consent for the coups, occupations, and drone strikes that reproduce the image of American peace and prosperity. I’m not suggesting that the beef was meant to distract from political issues, or that both artists haven’t made institutional critiques on and off their records. But there’s a reason that this particular beef would attract this level of attention at this particular moment, and it goes beyond their respe...| Scalawag
There is a shifting that should happen within each of us in the belly of an apocalypse—and genocides are apocalyptic. There is nothing a billionaire can serenade to me to assuage me in metabolizing an apocalypse every structural element of this society is accountable for.

Recording of Panel Discussion: Almost two years into a genocide that has sought to devastate all Palestinian life in Gaza, this move to conditionally recognize a Palestinian state comes across as a response essentially out of time. While this attempt at redeeming a liberal international legal order is no doubt far too little, far too late, what might a Palestinian national liberation movement tactically salvage and repurpose from this irredeemable wreck, and what should they approach with cau...| TWAILR
Almost two years into a genocide that has sought to devastate all Palestinian life in Gaza, this move to conditionally recognize a Palestinian state comes across as a response essentially out of time.

Over the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of expanding my open source developer advocacy to include countries in the Global South — Brazil last year, and Nigeria this year. What struck me during these trips is that a country lagging behind wealthier, industrialised economies doesn’t mean being left out of technological progress. Quite the opposite. Cutting-edge technologies are very much present. Yet, a closer look reveals a distinctive pattern: gaps in the usual technology adopti...| Eclipse Foundation Staff Blogs

Mohamed Thahir Sulaiman explores how the Global South has challenged mainstream notions of what it means for a state to be specially affected when it comes to customary international law formation. Sulaiman argues that the doctrine of specially affected states can be used to counteract hegemonic international law and amplify the voices of the Global South in shaping customary international law.| TWAILR

For the last 35 years, Mary Watkins has been re-thinking depth psychology from the vantage point of psychologies of liberation from the “South.” Seeing from these perspectives from the “South” helps us to better understand the Eurocentrism of depth psychology, including its relationships to colonialism, capitalism, and racism. Liberation psychology, rooted in an interdependent paradigm, asks us to mobilize psychology in our struggles for social, economic, racial, and environmental jus...| Liberation Psychology
