The heroic masses of Bolivia are once again showing the way. For weeks now they have shut down the economy through strikes, blockades and demonstrations aimed at bringing down the hated regime of Rodrigo Paz, and freeing the country from U.S. imperialism.

Thousands of students protested in Santiago on June 3 against President Jose Antonio Kast’s austerity measures and education budget cuts. The national strike, called by student federation Confech, led to violent clashes as police fired water cannons and tear gas to disperse demonstrators. At least one student was injured and dragged away by officers. Metro stations were temporarily closed during the unrest.

Kast's approval rating has fallen from 57% to 38% since taking office in March, according to pollster CADEM, with many analysts and observers calling his administration Chile's most far-right since Augusto Pinochet's military dictatorship. Kast's father was a German-born military officer and Nazi Party member who escaped US custody near the end of WWII and later immigrated to Chile, where his family became highly influential in national politics

A new documentary by Kara David showed that treatment for tuberculosis, despite being curable, remains out of reach for many Filipinos.

In “Kapit-Hininga,” David follows patients navigating the country’s TB crisis, in which access—not medicine—is the problem.

Despite free treatment under the government’s National Tuberculosis Control Program, gaps in supply and hidden costs continue to derail recovery.

In one case, TB patient “Luz” was expected to recover in six to seven months. Instead, his treatment stretched to nine months—marked by inconsistent drug supply, mounting expenses, and declining health. He died on June 2.

The Philippines remains among the countries with the highest TB burden, with over 517,000 cases recorded in 2025. Around 20,000 Filipinos die from the disease each year.

While medication is officially free in public facilities, supply shortages often force patients to buy drugs from private pharmacies—leading to financial burden.

The documentary also traces how the disease thrives beyond clinics.

In densely populated areas like Tondo, cramped and poorly ventilated homes accelerate transmission. In communities such as “Lupang Walang Langit,” multiple families share tight, enclosed spaces with little sunlight and limited sanitation—allowing TB to spread easily.

“Kapit-Hininga” reframes TB in the Philippines as a systemic failure—with poverty, housing, and uneven healthcare to blame.

Yes, Congress should discipline its members. BUT expulsion should be reserved for those who have fully and irretrievably forfeited public trust by committing high crimes or the gravest of offenses-- not merely for being disruptive, offensive, or even for spreading disinformation online. The threshold for expulsion must remain extraordinarily high. The power to expel a fellow member of parliament is a power that should be exercised with most fear and restraint. A congressional seat, after all, does not solely belong to Congress. It belongs first to the people of who elected their representative. https://t.co/aWzA9H8VyN
