Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

Javier Milei Withdraws Argentina from World Health Organization, Blasts Social Justice Groups

HeadlineFeb 06, 2025

Argentina’s far-right populist President Javier Milei says he is withdrawing Argentina from the World Health Organization, following in the footsteps of Donald Trump. Like Trump, Milei cited the U.N. agency’s response to the COVID pandemic, namely its backing of lifesaving lockdowns. Last month, Milei gave a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos blasting feminism, LGBTQ communities, the fight against climate change, social welfare and so-called wokeism. Mass demonstrations took place in Argentina following what protesters called Milei’s hate speech.
