Ben NortonJamil ChadeCira Pascual MarquinaKim IvesBruno Sgarzini

A small opposition rally in Caracas and Maracaibo contrasted with a mass PSUV women's march, while a reporter was branded an infiltrator and removed from the opposition platform.

US tech giants are accused of manipulating Brazil's election by censoring President Lula's accounts while boosting far-right candidate Flávio Bolsonaro, part of a broader pattern of digital imperialism.

UN special rapporteurs accuse Meta of disproportionately restricting one side of Brazil's election debate, demanding transparency and remedies for unequal moderation and algorithmic reach.

Venezuela's acting president announced that government and opposition delegations reached a dialogue agreement, including a push to recover Venezuelan gold seized by the United Kingdom.

Venezuela's second National Popular Consultation of 2026 shows how communal assemblies let communities decide and manage local projects, building popular sovereignty and socialist social relations.

Venezuela's National Assembly swore in 23 members of the Judicial Nominations Committee, launching the constitutional process to select new Supreme Court justices.

Five Salvadoran mercenaries in the US-backed Gang Suppression Force were reportedly killed in a Port-au-Prince ambush, but Washington and San Salvador insist the men merely remain unaccounted.

Lobbying payments routed through a firm close to Marco Rubio secured oil, gold and aluminium deals for foreign companies in Venezuela, revealing a bribery structure tied to US control over sanctions permits.

Franco VielmaCraig MurrayRamzy BaroudPedro Labayen Herrera

Venezuela's ruling PSUV party condemned a US arrest warrant for Cuban leader Raúl Castro as imperialist intimidation, urging Latin American and Caribbean nations to defend Cuba's sovereignty.

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele threatens Haitian gangs after four members of a UN-backed security mission were kidnapped near Port-au-Prince, as rescue operations continue amid Haiti's gang violence crisis.

Venezuela's government and the far-right opposition concluded a third round of dialogue, agreeing on political guarantees, judicial and electoral disqualification reviews, and recovery of gold reserves held in England.

Venezuela's National Assembly president insists Caracas controls oil-sale revenues and rejects foreign management, while US officials describe funds routed through Qatar and Treasury accounts.

Venezuela's government has narrowed the gap between the official BCV dollar and the parallel USDT rate through heavy dollar injections, controlled devaluation and tight liquidity, at the cost of scarce credit.

Rioting across Western countries stems from extreme wealth concentration, not local grievance: France and the UK have never been richer, yet ordinary living standards decline as billionaires hoard wealth.

The UN Human Rights Office expanded its database of companies tied to illegal Israeli settlements to 214, and twelve Western states moved toward restricting settlement trade, but enforcement remains the real test.

Luisa González, former presidential candidate of Ecuador's left-wing Citizen Revolution, was arrested in Manabí over alleged money laundering, prompting her party to denounce political persecution by the Noboa government.

Noboa's government escalates repression of opposition candidates, deploys the military domestically, deepens unprecedented joint operations with US SOUTHCOM forces, and faces mounting energy and financial crises.

Iran Destroys US Strike Plan as Yemen Acquires Khaibar Shekan Missiles to Strike 'Israel'

Ben NortonRobert Inlakesh

Bolivian legislators demand an impartial investigation into leaked audio recordings allegedly detailing a plot to abduct former President Evo Morales, involving foreign agents and a cabinet minister.

A new Quaest poll shows Flavio Bolsonaro at 45% and Lula at 44% ahead of Brazil's October 25 runoff, leaving the candidates statistically tied within the margin of error.

Venezuela's central bank cut reserve requirements on bolívar term deposits from 73% to 50% while keeping demand and savings deposits at 73% and raising penalties for shortfalls.

A leaked 18-page agreement gives Washington discounted Venezuelan crude, a 35% stake in a private oil venture and a 50-year purchase priority, with no guaranteed benefits for Caracas.

Global surveys including the Democracy Perception Index and Pew Research find Israel the least popular country worldwide, with 67% of respondents across 36 countries holding negative views after the Gaza genocide.

Iran's IRGC drills and missile tests in the Strait of Hormuz reshape its conflict with the US, while Yemen's Ansarallah forces down a Saudi helicopter and repel PLC advances.
