People with disabilities are not marginal to society but central to it – and the injustices they face reveal the failures of a world that treats human dignity as subordinate to profit.

The US is at a juncture faced with two choices. It can either manage a transition from global hegemon to a prosperous, peaceful nation working together as equals with all other nations, or it can double down on its continuation as a bankrupt, violent empire seeking continued control over all other nations.

The 2026 U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran was meant to restore imperial supremacy across Western Asia, but instead exposed the growing erosion of Atlantic monopoly over trade, finance, diplomacy, and regional security. As Gaza, Yemen, Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, and the Eurasian corridor system became fused into a single geopolitical crisis, states across the region accelerated efforts to build alternative infrastructures of circulation beyond total Western control. From the rise of the Pakistan-Iran-Central Asia corridor and INSTC integration to Gulf recalibration, anti-sanctions financial systems, and the fragmentation of the old U.S.-managed security order, a contradictory and uneven multipolar transition is increasingly reshaping the material organization of the region itself. The empire still possesses enormous destructive power, but beneath the smoke of war, Western Asia is gradually learning how to move, trade, negotiate, and survive beyond the old imperial command structure.

Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist
From the 1870 15th Amendment to the Voting Rights Act of 1965, voting rights for Black people have proven to be ephemeral. Laws can be unenforced or gutted altogether. Black people’s rights must be defended by mass popular action.

An assault on Cuba needs excuses for hating it. But given that any exchanges between the US and Cuba has been blocked out of the news for decades, it’s a bit difficult for a lot of folks to figure out why they are supposed to hate it and starve the people there.

A stunning investigative report by Hebrew-language outlet Ynet has laid bare the embarrassing cataclysm not only of the US-Israeli war on Iran, but the Zionist entity’s effort throughout to end the Islamic Republic via covert and overt military and intelligence operations. Violent Mossad-orchestrated protests, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s murder, and a Kurdish invasion were intended to produce regime change and “total victory” over Tehran. Yet, as Ynet concludes: “what started as a far-reaching Israeli move, rich in imagination, final in its solution, ends in heartache.”

In an interview for Al Mayadeen, Professor Mohammad Marandi discusses how the extreme heat of the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula will be difficult for American forces to handle.
He explains that it is currently May, a transition month, and that temperatures will become extremely high by the end of it, adding that the American armed forces are not prepared for such conditions.
“Their bases are destroyed, and they have brought so many troops and equipment into the region that’s not well protected. So this is not a good time to be an American soldier,”
Professor Marandi said. He also noted that Donald Trump faces a deadline tied to his upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping in China. He explained that if Trump initiates a war now, he would not be able to conclude it before the trip, adding that the visit would likely not go well.
