In 1996, Brazilian military police opened fire on a peaceful march of landless workers – killing 21 people in what became known as the Eldorado do Carajás Massacre. Thirty years later, justice is still incomplete. Most of those responsible were never held accountable, and the deeper forces behind the violence – political elites, landowners, and corporate interests – remain largely untouched. But the movement they tried to destroy didn’t disappear, it grew. BreakThrough News traveled to the state of Pará in northern Brazil to follow members of the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST) as they marched for four days—retracing the same road where their comrades were killed. This march is more than a memorial. It’s part of a nationwide mobilization known as “Red April,” where thousands organize, occupy land, and demand agrarian reform as a solution to hunger and inequality. Along the way, we hear from survivors, youth organizers, and current members of the movement—who say the same conditions that led to the massacre still exist today:

• Extreme land inequality
• Violence against rural workers
• Expansion of agribusiness and mining into peasant land
• And a justice system that protects the powerful For the MST, memory is not just about the past—it’s a tool for organizing in the present. Musicbed: MB01PRSWG3PNHTA MB015FH8RWRW6JB

Chicago is gearing up for a May 1 International Workers’ Day shutdown, and the Chicago Teachers Union is leading the charge. CTU president Stacy Davis Gates joins Breakthrough’s Amanda Yee to explain why the union is calling for a national day of action under the banner of “no work, no school, no shopping” to protest Trump and ICE “terrorism.” Davis Gates discusses how Trump's cuts to SNAP, Medicaid, and education — while funneling billions into ICE and wars abroad — are already hurting Chicago's students and families. She connects the fight for sanctuary schools, the legacy of enslaved Africans' general strikes, and why unions must go beyond "bread and butter" to defend democracy, reproductive rights, civil rights, and LGBTQ+ communities — and why collective action is the only answer. #breakthroughnews

There are growing signs that the United States may be on the verge of another major financial crisis, one that could start in the private credit market, which is already seeing significant turmoil, before spreading to other sectors. Geopolitical Economy Report editor Ben Norton interviewed economist Michael Hudson to discuss the serious problems on Wall Street. Hudson warned that the US economy is built on a Ponzi scheme that depends on continuing to pour money into a bloated, bubbly financial system based on unsustainable speculation, not industrial production.

Stitch to @/ nodiving on TT answering a question I have to ponder on a lot!  How do you deal with people with a more reactionary analysis of history and geopolitics? I approach this from a more mental and empathetic perspective. There's no magic words to convince someone BUT we can always help other engage their brains and analysis more! THIS IS A LONG ONE!  Pls let me know if you made it to the end! #education #history #politics #empathy

Twenty-four-year-old Jalen Carpenter was shot and killed by Illinois State Police April 15 after leaving his girlfriend’s house. In an interview with BT, his father Stanley Carpenter said he was “devastated” by Jalen’s murder, describing his son as “hardworking” and “a big teddy bear.” Stanley has repeatedly called his son’s killing an “assassination.” The Carpenter family and Chicago community members are demanding immediate release of body cam footage and that the officer be charged with murder. Jalen is survived by a two-year-old son.

BT’s Rania Khalek breaks down Trump’s announcement on April 16 of a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon. The news, which was announced just a week after Israel's “Black Wednesday” massacre in Beirut and in Southern Lebanon, has generated mixed reactions, with debates emerging over who was responsible. Khalek argues that “Iran forced the hand of Trump” and compelled Trump to impose a ceasefire on Israel and Netanyahu which did not want it and was ready to continue its war on Lebanon, no matter what the cost was. Khalek also discusses the details of the ceasefire and the one-sided nature of the terms. #breakthroughnews

As the American empire teeters, China gains dominance, and war spreads across Eastern Europe and West Asia, questions arise as to Europe’s place in this rapidly changing world order. On Downstream this week, Ash Sarkar speaks to Roderick Beaton, former Koraes Professor of History at King's College London, about his latest book ‘Europe: A New History’. How did the boundaries between Europe and Asia come to be drawn in the first place? How were immigration and borders administered by the empires of antiquity? How do the stories we tell about our collective history in Europe shape contemporary political thought? And in an age of mass migration, who gets to be European today – and why? 00:00 Introduction 00:02:41:02 Who Gets to Be European? 00:04:51:21 The Many Historical Attempts to Unite Europe from the Romans to Charles V 00:07:30:10 The Sacking of Rome 00:09:35:20 Roman Military Strategies in Ancient Europe 00:12:37:08 Immigration in the Ancient World 00:15:15:14 The Battle of Marathon & the Invention of Continents 00:20:09:07 Herodotus: Father of History, Father of Lies 00:21:18:06 The Blurry Boundary Between Asia & Europe 00:23:24:01 Alexander the Great’s Europe 00:26:29:02 Genocide in the Ancient World 00:29:48:08 Republics Versus Expansionist Empires 00:33:19:09 Emperor Hadrian: Flamboyant Technocrat 00:36:31:19 America & The Ancient World 00:39:16:16 Why Did the EU Choose Brussels, not Rome or Athens, as its Capital? 00:41:58:13 The Stories That Define Europeans 00:45:48:02 European Leaders As Gods 00:49:45:19 How Has Islam Defined Europe? 00:55:10:02 The Moorish Conquest of the Iberian Peninsula 00:59:57:12 The Reconquest and the Inquisition 01:04:00:17 Russia & the Unstable Boundaries of Europe 01:08:05:22 The Ukraine Question 01:12:15:02 How Can We Define Contemporary European Cultural Identity? 01:15:57:01 European Defence: Does Europe Need a Centralised Army?

Professor Mohammad Marandi, an expert on American studies at the University of Tehran, joins Rania Khalek to break down the 10-day Lebanon-Israel ceasefire that took effect on April 17 — and Iran's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz is now "completely open for the remaining period of the ceasefire." Marandi explains how Iran forced the ceasefire, stating bluntly: "Iran is not going to forsake Lebanon." He also warns that despite the pause, Tehran is actively preparing for a potential second phase of the U.S.-Israel war, one that could drag the global economy "into the abyss." #breakthroughnews
