Colombia’s former president Alvaro Uribe found guilty of bribing witnesses
In a historic verdict, judge Sandra Liliana Herrera confirmed that Uribe bribed witnesses in order to press fabricated criminal charges against Senator Ivan Cepeda. Uribe’s witnesses additionally fabricated claims that Justice Minister Eduardo Montealegre illegally opened investigations into the former president and his brother Santiago when Montealegre was Prosecutor General.

After taking back land in Colombia, Indigenous prepare their youth to safeguard it
The children’s “semillero” — a weekend school where Indigenous youth are nurtured like seeds — prepares the next generation to protect their ancestral land. More than a classroom, it’s a space for learning resistance, environmental care and cultural pride. Their work echoes a broader community effort to restore damaged territory and preserve identity in a region still marked by conflict.

Plot to Kill Lula, Alckmin, and Justice Moraes Traced to Top General
In July 2025, official court records revealed that General Mário Fernandes—once a senior figure in former president Jair Bolsonaro’s government—admitted to writing a plan. The plan called for the kidnapping and murder of Brazil’s President-elect Lula da Silva, Vice President-elect Geraldo Alckmin, and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. He said he created and printed the document—known as “Punhal Verde e Amarelo”—inside the presidential palace after Lula’s election win in late 2022. Fernandes claimed that this was only his “risk analysis,” not something he meant to share, and he said he shredded the printout.

Italian city says no to warships and weapons for Israel
José Nivoi from the Autonomous Collective of Port Workers (Collettivo Autonomo dei Lavoratori Portuali, CALP) and the local union chapter of Unione Sindacale di Base (USB), emphasized that the morning rally was directed specifically at the new city authorities, with dockworkers demanding a clear stance of solidarity with Palestine – an assurance they say was given. “The evening assembly was also very lively,” Nivoi told Peoples Dispatch. “Around 150 people took part – mostly members of the general public, not just activists – and joined a discussion on the plans to transform the port into dual-use military infrastructure.”

Workers protest against Electricity Board restructuring in Sri Lanka
The action was organised by the All CEB Trade Unions Alliance, comprising 28 trade unions, including the CEB Sri Lanka Freedom Employees Union, CEB Technical Officers Union (CEBTOU), Client Coordinators Union, Technological Engineers and Superintendents Union, and Engineers Union. Members of the ruling Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP)-controlled All Ceylon Electricity Workers Union (ACEWU) defied their union leadership to join the protest. According to the proposed bill, the CEB will be broken up into five separate companies under government control. These entities will be overseen by boards of directors appointed by the minister of power and energy. The bill stipulates that these five companies will be demerged into 12 additional entities after six months.

Progressive upstarts shake up 2025 mayoral races
Katie Wilson, the co-founder and general secretary of a transit advocacy group, is seeking to unseat Mayor Bruce Harrell in a nonpartisan race. Wilson says Harrell — a lawyer who previously served three terms on the city council — has been too focused on removing homeless encampments around the city while failing to provide adequate services and shelter beds. Records show Wilson has been outpacing other challengers in fundraising. In Albuquerque, N.M., Alex Uballez, a former U.S. attorney under President Biden, is challenging fellow Democratic Mayor Tim Keller, who has faced criticism over crime, development mishaps and the police chief's behavior.

Ghislaine Maxwell asks US supreme court to overturn conviction
Maxwell’s supreme court filing argues that Epstein’s 2007 plea deal with federal prosecutors in Florida should have barred her prosecution. The controversial 2007 plea agreement between Epstein and the justice department said that if Epstein followed the terms of the plea agreement, the US government would not charge “any potential co-conspirators of Epstein”, including “but not limited to” four co-conspirators. Maxwell is not one of the four co-conspirators named in the agreement, but her attorneys say she did not need to be named to receive the protection from that deal.

RFK Jr. targets vaccine makers' federal liability protections
Kennedy is proposing an overhaul to the VICP, which was established by law in 1986 in response to the threat of vaccine lawsuits leading to shortages. It's essentially an alternative legal system for resolving vaccine injury cases. Successful plaintiffs win money from the U.S. government, not vaccine manufacturers. Kennedy argued in a lengthy post on X Monday that the VICP "routinely dismisses meritorious cases" or drags them out.

Federal judge blocks Arkansas law barring pharmacy benefit managers from owning pharmacies in state
Supporters of the Arkansas law have said it’s needed because pharmacy benefit managers are forcing independent pharmacies, especially those in rural areas, to close. CVS and Express Scripts in their lawsuits said the restriction would have devastating effects on consumers if it was allowed to take effect.

Ohio ex-police officer sentenced to 15 years to life in 2020 killing of Andre Hill
Former Columbus officer Adam Coy shot Hill four times in a garage in December 2020, as the country reckoned with a series of police killings of Black men, women and children. He told jurors that he feared for his life because he thought Hill was holding a silver revolver. Coy, who is being treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, told the court on Monday he planned to appeal against the verdict.

Jeremy Corbyn’s new party: what does it mean, and what attitude should communists take towards it?
The announcement by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana of a new party on Thursday has provoked a strong wave of support and enthusiasm. In itself, this was not surprising. The reactionary policies pursued by the Starmer government had been a slap in the face for millions of people who voted for the Labour Party, hoping for a change. In a remarkably short space of time, having won a landslide electoral victory, Starmer has become the most unpopular prime minister of all time. He is particularly detested by people on the left, who rightly regard him as a traitor who is virtually indistinguishable from the Tories and Liberals. To the left of Labour a yawning gulf has opened up, a huge political vacuum, which, sooner or later, had to be filled. Given the weakness of the forces of genuine Marxism at the present time, that vacuum could only be filled by some kind of left reformist alternative. It was therefore quite natural that it should be filled by former Labour leader and left reformist, Jeremy Corbyn. To anyone with the slightest knowledge of British politics at the present time, such an outcome could not be a surprise. It was, in fact, entirely predictable. Within hours, thousands of people were signing up to join the new party. Given the total lack of any viable alternative, this again was hardly surprising, For a long time, the so-called lefts in Britain and internationally have been paralysed by a mood of dejection and pessimism They only saw reaction on all sides. Lacking any knowledge of dialectics, they could only see the surface of events, but were blind to the real processes of radicalisation that are taking place. This applies to Jeremy Corbyn as much as anyone else. While we salute his decision finally to launch a new party, we must also add that this development was held up for a long time by his constant vacillations and hesitation to take this decisive step.

Internal Documents Detail Hamas Proposals That Preceded Trump’s Belligerent Rant
Last Wednesday, after consulting with a range of Palestinian political leaders and groups as well as regional mediators from Qatar and Egypt, negotiators from Hamas submitted a handful of precisely-crafted amendments to the latest Gaza ceasefire framework. Hamas had already agreed to the vast majority of the thirteen-point framework and had been informed by mediators that Israel had done the same. Drop Site News obtained a series of documents from the negotiations in Doha showing the terms Hamas proposed to amend, as well as the maps for Israeli troop redeployments presented to Hamas by regional mediators alongside the maps counter-proposed by Hamas. “We were faced with two options: either agree to a weak, rushed agreement—where Israel could control the aid, impose wide buffer zones covering 40–50% of Gaza, ensure the possibility of resuming war, and add many other unjust conditions—or hold out for a good agreement,” said Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas leader and a member of its negotiating team, in a TV interview Saturday with Al Araby. “We chose to be patient and stand firm so we could reach a good deal.” Hamas officials said they were bewildered at the public response from the Trump administration. On Friday, Trump launched into a belligerent tirade on the White House lawn as he prepared to embark on a trip to Europe. “Hamas didn’t really want to make a deal. I think they want to die, and it’s very, very bad. It got to be to a point where you’re going to have to finish the job,” Trump declared. “Now we’re down to the final hostages and they know what happens after you get the final hostages and basically because of that they really didn’t want to make a deal. I saw that. They’re gonna have to fight, and they’re gonna have to clean it up. You’re gonna have to get rid of ‘em.” Addressing Hamas’s leadership, Trump said, "I think they will be hunted down." Hamas officials said they were surprised by Trump’s comments and those of Special Envoy Steve Witkoff. “What Hamas presented—both in word and deed—represented a positive, realistic, and flexible position. We offered a vision for all the issues on the table, whether related to maps, prisoner exchange mechanisms, aid, or guarantees for continuing negotiations beyond the 60-day period,” said Hamad. “That’s why the American position was surprising; it was tense and rigid, offering no explanations. Instead, it relied on the language of threats and intimidation.”

Voice of TKP: Turkey-Iran Relations on the Neo-Ottoman Axis
The war triggered by Israel’s attacks on Iran and intensified by Iran’s retaliation lasted for 12 days. Although short-lived, this war marked a significant turning point in world politics. It is essential to analyze this conflict from various angles, including what it means for the relationship between Turkey and Iran. Turkey and Iran are two of the most powerful countries in the Middle East. A look at history reveals that the relationship between these two countries has experienced many ups and downs. Even during the most cooperative periods, underlying tensions have always been present. It would not be an exaggeration to say that such tensions also surfaced during the 12-day Iran-Israel war. The AKP government in Turkey has, for quite some time, preferred to maintain a balanced relationship with the countries in the region — including Iran. A similar approach, at least on the surface, was displayed during the recent war as well. In fact, toward the end of the conflict, on June 21, Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani made a statement expressing appreciation for the clear and determined stance of four countries. The countries she named were Russia, China, Pakistan, and Turkey. However, the situation is far from that simple. The AKP government had played a significant role in the regime changes in Iraq and Libya. In the subsequent civil war in Libya, it openly supported one of the warring factions and helped prevent that side’s defeat. Later, Turkey also developed relations with the opposing side, and to this day, its influence over the country remains. More recently, the AKP government played a major role in efforts to remove the Ba’ath regime from power in Syria. For years, Turkey openly supported many of the Islamist groups fightingagainst the Assad government. All of these initiatives were products of a foreign policy approach commonly referred to as Neo-Ottomanism. Claiming to inherit the legacy of the Ottoman Empire, the AKP government developed a reflex of ownership over all the lands once ruled by the Ottomans, referring to them as the “Ottoman legacy.” This Neo-Ottoman policy, of course, did not stem merely from a nostalgic longing for the pre-Republican past or for previous centuries — it was driven by very contemporary needs. Turkey’s advanced capitalist economy was seeking to expand beyond its borders and create new spheres of influence. Turkey aspired to climb higher within the imperialist hierarchy, and this policy aligned closely with that ambition. It was clear that a regime change in Syria would have far-reaching consequences. So far, the greatest blow has been dealt to the Palestinian resistance, as Assad’s Syria had served as a vital gateway for that struggle. After Syria, it was evident that Iran would be next. The Neo-Ottoman policy played a significant role in reaching this point. Neo-Ottomanism seeks to use imperialism’s attempts to reshape the Middle East, seeing them as major opportunities. In this new Middle East — where borders, balances, and alliances are beginning to shift — Turkey aims to carve out new spheres of influence for itself.
