    Originally published: Dissident Voice on April 7, 2022 by Rick Sterling (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Apr 09, 2022)

    Massachusetts Peace Action, a venerable part of the U.S. Peace Movement, has been around since the 1980s and its predecessors date back to the 1950s. Its voice is heeded and it represents most of the shared opinions of the liberal and progressive U.S. peace movement.

    Business as usual: Facebook, Russia, and hate speech

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on March 12, 2022 by Binoy Kampmark (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Mar 14, 2022)

    The gains of Nicaraguan women during the second Sandinista Government

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on February 15, 2022 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    Women in the Third World (and increasingly in the imperial First World) face problems of violence at home and in public, problems of food and water for the family, of proper shelter, and lack of health care for the family, and their own lack of access to education and thus work opportunities.

    Solidarity forged from slave chains

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on February 1, 2022 by Alan Johnstone (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Feb 03, 2022)

    When the American Civil War ended, Lincoln and his successor Andrew Johnson gave the defeated Confederacy generous peace terms. Vengeance upon the slaveocracy was to be no part of the reconciliation process. It was to be amnesty for Southern slave-owners but new chains for the former slaves.

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on January 11, 2022 by Shawgi Tell (more by Dissident Voice)  | (Posted Jan 13, 2022)

    Economic and social conditions have been worsening for decades at home and abroad, especially in the context of the neoliberal antisocial offensive which was launched more than 40 years ago by the international financial oligarchy. But they have been getting even worse in recent years and over the past two years in particular.

    21st Century U.S. coups and attempted coups in Latin America

    Originally published: Dissident Voice on January 6, 2022 (more by Dissident Voice)  |

    During the 21st century, the U.S., working with corporate elites, traditional oligarchies, military, and corporate media, has continually attempted coups against Latin American governments which place the needs of their people over U.S. corporate interests. U.S. organized coups in Latin American countries is hardly a 20th century phenomenon.
