Justin Trudeau reduces sentences for serious gun crimes
The Toronto Sun is reporting that "The mandatory minimum for both gun smuggling and selling illegal guns is three years but the PM thinks there should be none." It doesn't take a rocket science to do the math and see where Justin Trudeau is trying to take us. When Justin Trudeau put a freeze on people without criminal records buying or selling registered handguns, we all know that had nothing to do with mass shootings or reducing gang violence. Absolutely nothing. Just like how decriminalization of hard drugs had absolutely nothing to do with reducing the number of overdoses. Abso... read more

Even if that is right, any error was harmless.” Reznicek’s supporters worry that If the decision stands, the judicial branch will continue applying terrorism enhancements to activists, while claiming that a ... read more

US Government’s Summit Of The Americas Fails
The US government’s Summit of the Americas started on June 6 in Los Angeles, California. And the event proved to be a major diplomatic failure for the Joe Biden administration. Washington refused to invite the socialist governments of Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. So to protest this exclusion, the presidents of Mexico, Bolivia, and Honduras boycotted the summit. Guatemala’s president also chose to skip the conference. This means heads of state representing Latin American countries with a total population of more than 200 million people – a significant percentage of the America... read more
America’s Gun Fetish
Guns were a ubiquitous part of my childhood. My grandfather, who had been a master sergeant in the army, had a small arsenal in his house in Mechanic Falls, Maine. He gave me a 2020 bolt action Springfield rifle when I was 7. By the time I was 10, I had graduated to a Winchester lever action 30-30. I moved my way up the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) Marksmanship Qualification Program, helped along by a summer camp where riflery was mandatory. Like many boys in rural America, I was fascinated by guns, although I disliked hunting. Two decades as a reporter in war zones, however... read more
ALBA And Nicaragua – Defending Solidarity In A Divided World

The horrific results are self-evident: economic impoverishment, political instability, extreme inequality, appalling public health outcomes, chronic citizen insecurity and similar outcomes in terms of practically any other social and economic i... read more

Inspiration From Argentina For The Trans Rights Movement
This Pride month is a one of great fear and grief for many. After decades of (slowly) advancing queer rights, we are in the midst of the worst backlash we’ve seen in years.

These policies being put forward by far-right politicians would (in effect) forcibly detransition and socially isolate trans children, and in many cases they are already being used to attack the lives of trans people.
