The Afro-Venezuelan Organizations Network (ROA) and the Regional Articulation of Afrodescendants of Latin America and the Caribbean (ARAAC), Afrodescendant organizations born from anti-imperialist social change processes and anti-neocolonial struggles at the dawn of the twenty-first century, carry the dignity and sovereignty that our African Ancestors entrusted to us as a living imprint of the self-determination of peoples. Latin America and the Caribbean have suffered, throughout the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, invasions, territorial dispossession, and targeted assassinations of Latin American and Afrodescendant leaders.

Puerto Rico, US Imperialism And Venezuela’s Defiant Sovereignty

December 14, 2025 Cira Pascual Marquina, Venezuelanalysis. Resist! Puerto Rico, Sovereignty, US Imperialism, Venezuela

As the United States reasserts its hemispheric priorities in its recent National Security Strategy document, Latin America and the Caribbean are once again cast as a zone of interest, with Venezuela squarely in Washington’s sights. Puerto Rico—still a US colony more than a century after the 1898 invasion—plays a central role in this imperial architecture, serving as both a military platform and a living example of colonial rule in the region. Cira Pascual Marquina spoke with Puerto Rican geographer, author, and longtime activist Déborah Berman Santana about the continuity of US imperialism, the island’s strategic function in projecting imperialist military power in the region, and why Venezuela’s insistence on sovereignty represents such a profound threat to US interests.

When a group of renters at New Haven, Connecticut’s Sunset Ridge apartments gathered last month to announce they had formed a tenants union, they were interrupted by some uninvited guests. Since September, Sunset Ridge tenant organizers had been going door-to-door speaking with neighbors about their living conditions, including persistent mold that’s the likely culprit behind a spate of respiratory illnesses in the 312-unit building. With the help of the Connecticut Tenants Union (CTTU), a statewide union of renters, the group collected signatures from more than 160 residents — enough to file for certification with the city

At the very Southeastern tip of New Mexico bordering Texas and Mexico, a new artificial intelligence (AI) data center is gearing up to be a greenhouse gas and air pollution behemoth, an additional water user in a drought-afflicted region, and a sower of community discontent. Project Jupiter is one of five sites in the $500 billion Stargate Project, a national pipeline of massive AI systems linked with OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank. “Health is my biggest concern. I’m worried about the air pollution, the ozone, and the buzzing noise,” local resident José Saldaña Jr., 45, told Truthout.

Tens of thousands of Portuguese workers walked off the job this week, dressed in workers’ red, in the country’s first general strike in 12 years. This massive show of force is a direct challenge to the right-wing government’s aggressive assault on labor rights, wages, and collective bargaining. The nationwide strike action halted ports, grounded flights, shuttered schools, and stalled public transport. Workers from every sector said they will no longer accept a return to deeper exploitation and austerity. The General Confederation of the Portuguese Workers (CGTP-IN) underscored that the attack on workers’ living standards comes not during an economic crisis but amidst growth and steep rises in corporate profits.

Venezuela has accused the US government of “blatant theft” and “piracy,” following Washington’s seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker off the Latin American country’s coast on 10 December. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry strongly condemned what it said was a “blatant theft and an act of international piracy, publicly announced by the President of the US, who confessed to the assault on an oil tanker in the Caribbean Sea.” “Already in his 2024 campaign, [US President Donald Trump] openly stated that his objective has always been to keep Venezuelan oil without paying any consideration in return, making it clear that the policy of aggression against our country responds to a deliberate plan to plunder our energy wealth,” the Venezuelan Foreign Ministry added.

Embattled Australian journalist Mary Kostakidis has filed her formal defense against the charge by the Zionist Federation of Australia that she is an anti-semite, telling a federal judge the allegation of racial vilification is really intended to smear legitimate criticism of Israel and stifle free speech. In her 29-page filing, Kostakidis argues that her reporting on Israel’s actions in Gaza did not target Jewish people but the Israeli government. Her posts on X had nothing to do with the “race or national or ethnic origin of Jewish Australians and/or Israeli Australians,” she says.
