Tupamaro Prison Break: Montevideo, 1971 | Stories of Resistance

September 5, 2025 • 5 mins
It’s past midnight on September 6, 1971. 

Across the prison, dozens of men slip out of their beds. Bricks slide out from the walls of their cells. Bodies slip out silently. They move into a tunnel that has been chiseled and dug slowly and silently for eight months, and they creep one by one underneath the prison.

It is the stuff of movies. Or of legends. Or of cartoons. The only sound is the ruffle of their prison uniforms and the oc...

‘We want life': Palestinians in Gaza describe their daily struggle to survive

September 2, 2025 • 32 mins
Right now, Israel's military is invading and obliterating what remains of Gaza City.

September 2, 2025 • 24 mins

September 1, 2025 • 29 mins

The slave revolt that founded a new nation

August 29, 2025 • 5 mins
In August 1791, slaves in the French colony of Saint-Domingue revolted, rising up by the thousands. Within ten days they've taken over the whole northern province. By the following year, they controlled a third of the colony. It was the spark that would ignite the Haitian revolution — a 13-year-long endeavour. Independence would finally come on January 1, 1804. But they would have to defeat three European countries to get there.

Palestine, genocide, and the imperialist lie of the 'rules-based international order'

August 26, 2025 • 44 mins
Israel’s US-backed genocidal destruction of Gaza has exploded the fiction of the “rules-based” international order and exposed the violent, people-destroying, land-grabbing imperialism it was always based on. Over the last two years, the US and Israel have carried out a genocidal war in Gaza, officially killing over 60,000 people, bombing Gaza’s cities to smithereens, and displacing 90% of its 2.1 million people. Their blockade of ...
