Dozens have been killed in U.S. airstrikes on boats off the Venezuelan and Colombian coasts.
The Trump administration claims it’s targeting drug traffickers — but there’s no evidence. And now they’re threatening airstrikes inside Venezuela.
U.S. warships now encircle Venezuela, joined by 10,000 troops and the Navy’s largest aircraft carrier.
This is a war in slow motion, justified by recycled lies, CIA covert ops, and billionaire-backed propaganda.
Rania Khalek speaks with Zoe Alexandra, editor-in-chief of Peoples Dispatch and editor of the new book “Why Venezuela? How the US tries to undermine democracy and sovereignty in Latin America.” Alexandra unpacks the truth behind Washington’s latest regime-change operation and what it means for Latin America and the Global South.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
