Saudi Arabia just lost big in Yemen —  Will Trump intervene?

Ansar Allah’s Red Sea wins last week torched Saudi’s decade-long strategy in Yemen – and the tens of billions it poured into trying to hold one of the world’s most vital shipping chokepoints. Shireen Al-Adeimi, Yemeni-born anti-war activist and Michigan State University professor, joins Zoe Alexandra to unpack what the seizure of Mokha and control of the Bab al-Mandeb Strait means for a global economy already brought to its knees by record $6/gallon diesel prices.

With the Strait of Hormuz still slowed to a trickle by the US-Israeli war on Iran and Riyadh’s East-West pipeline offline, Al-Adeimi says it’s in the whole world’s interest to “push the Saudis to just end this war. Admit that you’ve lost, cut your losses, and move on.” She breaks down how Riyadh’s violation of the 2022 ceasefire capped a decade of failed Saudi and UAE intervention, and why it matters that Pakistan just refused, for the second time, to back the Saudis under the Mecca joint defense pact – leading Riyadh to claim Mecca is under attack in a desperate PR stunt to shore up support it’s been cut off from in the West.

“This is hugely significant for Yemen as part of its long fight to end foreign intervention in Yemen… A strong Yemen – an anti-imperialist Yemen, a Yemen that is not going to allow the Gulf countries to treat it any way they wish, or to have a puppet government there in Yemen as we had before — is an inconvenience to these oil-producing countries.”

Robert Kraft: the Zionist billionaire who tried to cancel Macklemore

Robert Kraft tapped friend Jeffrey Epstein for legal advice after he was charged in a Florida police sting targeting suspected human trafficking. Zoe Alexandra traces the legacy of scandals and crimes behind the billionaire Zionist and owner of Gillette Stadium – and ostensible destroyer of Ed Sheeran’s career – after Kraft pushed NFL stadium owners to drop Macklemore from the Loop Tour for speaking out on Gaza at MetLife Stadium.

From an alleged AI surveillance command center at Gillette, to winning Israel’s Genesis Prize, to the Blue Square Alliance/Foundation to Combat Antisemitism and his ties with Friends of the IDF — this is the story of the American billionaire who bankrolled a decades-long “Speak Out for Israel” campaign to silence criticism, and how his latest attempt has backfired spectacularly into a global watershed moment for Palestine solidarity.

“You can’t make this stuff up: billionaires helping billionaires get out of sex crimes, sharing defense strategies — all while they promote ethnic cleansing, genocide, and other horrific crimes against humanity being carried out against the Palestinians by Israel.”

La falta de medios frustra el primer expediente de deportación masiva tras el Pacto Europeo de Migración y Asilo

Falta de medios, de preparación y de previsión. El fracaso del primer expediente masivo de deportación tramitado en Canarias tras la entrada en vigor del Pacto Europeo de Migración y Asilo (PEMA) evidencia que la aplicación de la nueva normativa «necesitaba una preparación» que no se ha llevado a cabo. Así lo explica el doctor en Derecho Lucas Pérez después de que las 82 personas migrantes que llegaron a El Hierro tras la entrada en vigor del PEMA, el pasado 12 de junio, hayan quedado finalmente en libertad al no poder ejecutarse su repatriación a Senegal. Todos eran ciudadanos senegaleses y, tras su llegada a la Isla, fueron trasladados a Centros de Internamiento de Extranjeros (CIE) con el objetivo de gestionar su devolución a Dakar dentro del plazo máximo de 60 días que puede prolongarse el internamiento. Agotado ese periodo sin que la repatriación pudiera llevarse a cabo, el grupo ha quedado en libertad, aunque permanece en situación irregular en España. Los 82 formaban parte del cayuco que llegó a El Hierro el 23 de junio con 119 ocupantes.

Privatizar, acumular, disciplinar

Na tentativa de compreender os tempos turbulentos em que vivemos, certas vozes têm sugerido que teríamos já entrado num momento histórico de superação do neoliberalismo. Para tal apontaria a disponibilidade dos governos de todo o mundo para utilizar a plenitude dos poderes do Estado, designadamente ao serviço de agendas nacionalistas e reacionárias diversas. O regresso em força do protecionismo tarifário pela administração norte-americana ou da política industrial explicitamente assumida por (…)
