When the Zapatistas announced the dismantling of their political system in October of 2023, many were quick to declare Mexico’s iconic anti-capitalist movement dead. But it was not an end; it was a new beginning. The series of communiques that followed inaugurated a transformation of the Zapatistas’ self-governance — brought to life with the 1994 uprising — to further decentralize power and communalize land use.

Cuando los zapatistas anunciaron el desmantelamiento de su sistema político en octubre de 2023, muchos se apresuraron a declarar muerto al emblemático movimiento anticapitalista mexicano. Pero no se trataba de un final, sino de un nuevo comienzo. La serie de comunicados que siguieron inauguró una transformación del autogobierno zapatista — que cobró vida con el levantamiento de 1994 — para descentralizar aún más el poder y comunalizar el uso de la tierra.

In the late 2000s, a group of women in their 50’s in a city in northeastern Syria heard a story about a young woman who had been chained up in her home by her father and brother. The women visited the home to intervene, pretending to be interested buyers, and encountered a visibly nervous and irritated man at the door who told them it wasn’t for sale.

As of this week, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie has broken several records and earned a stunning $1 billion in global ticket sales. There is no question that people, women and girls in particular, in many parts of the world, are going to the theater to see a white, blonde, telegenic Barbie muse about death and patriarchy. And why not? The last few pandemic years have been miserable for most people, and again, for women and girls in particular.

U.S.-Russian tensions continued to rise this week as two U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones were damaged by flares released from Russian jets over Syria. The first incident on Sunday damaged the drone’s propeller but did not cause it to crash, but it echoed a similar episode over the Black Sea in March when the drone crashed after a collision with a Russian jet. Another incident occurred Wednesday over northwest Syria and resulted in damage to one of the drone’s wings.
