What mainstream media won’t show you: Thousands across Caracas took the streets today to denounce Saturday’s US attack and to demand the return of President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores.
These programs have been done repeatedly, with the same results. We already know it works, which is why so many people push for UBI. The same thing happened with the covid stimulus money. Poverty is a policy that our government maintains. It’s a political decision.

Sudanese army clashes with UAE-backed RSF as civilians flee Kordofan
——
The Sudanese army is fighting the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on multiple fronts in North and West Kordofan, as tens of thousands of civilians flee the escalating violence. Clashes have been reported west of El-Obeid, Babnousa, and several northern towns, with RSF forces reportedly using drones and artillery against army positions.
Humanitarian sources say over 16,000 people have recently been displaced to White Nile State, which now hosts more than two million displaced civilians. UNICEF officials warn that the needs of fleeing families, especially children who have witnessed atrocities in areas like El-Fasher, far exceed available aid.
Since April 2023, the Sudanese army and RSF have been locked in a destructive conflict that has killed thousands and forced millions to flee, with regional and international mediation efforts failing to halt the fighting.

TUPAC: SISTERS, KEEP YA HEAD UP
The great Tupac Shakur - rapper, actor and activist - was born on this day fifty four years ago - on 16 June 1971. He met his untimely death in 1996 but today we celebrate his music, his legacy and his unwavering love for his people.
There’s no better tribute to the legendary artist than his own music. In this clip, he delivers an ‘unplugged’ rendition of his classic ‘Keep Ya Head Up’ - performed in the intimate setting of a classroom of students.
And what an education the lyrics are. The song’s message - about respect for women and female empowerment - still packs a punch.
Tupac was a master at articulating the struggles of his community, particularly the marginalised Black people in America.
An authentic music revolutionary, he deserves to be remembered and celebrated for his life and the passion of his powerful lyrics.
Rest in power, brother!
