France: Farmers’ Protests Against Mercosur Expand Across Country, Motorway Blockages Continue

Thousands of European farmers are gathering in Brussels today, December 18, to protest the EU-Mercosur trade deal during a high-stakes European Council summit. In France, the unrest has escalated with motorways being blocked and protests expanding toward major ski resort access routes just ahead of tomorrow's scheduled vote on the agreement. This surge in mobilization follows a massive day of action yesterday, which saw over 3,600 farmers participate in at least 80 separate demonstrations across the country.

LA Mayor Oversees Homeless Camp Sweep - Los Angeles

City workers dismantle tents and remove personal belongings during a sweep of a large homeless encampment in Los Angeles on July 31, 2025. The operation takes place under increased media scrutiny and in the presence of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, who observes the process and speaks briefly with displaced residents and officials. The sweep is part of a broader initiative aimed at clearing public spaces and connecting unhoused individuals with shelter services, though critics argue it disrupts fragile community networks and fails to address root causes. Dozens of people are forced to move, many uncertain about their next steps. The presence of city leadership highlights the growing urgency and political stakes surrounding homelessness in the city.
