Voting is not an act of hope

Voting is not an act of hope. That is the first lie to dismantle. Hope is an emotion, and emotions are manipulable, exhaustible, reversible. Those who want you not to vote are counting on your exhaustion. They are counting on…

ELN and M-19, Two Guerrillas, Two Readings

Every guerrilla is born of the same refusal, that of resolving by law what the countryside has demanded for generations. But the refusal produces different grammars. The ELN inherited from the priest its discipline of armed catechism. The M-19 inherited from electoral fraud its vocation for spectacle. Two answers to the same unanswered question, two …

The abuses of the continental far right’s favorite villain: Beto Coral, Honduras and the Trump corollary no one wants to name

In early December 2025, the Trump administration published its new National Security Strategy, described by its own authors as a corollary to the 1823 Monroe Doctrine. The text demands access to strategic locations across the hemisphere and cooperation from regional governments, while renouncing, at least on paper, any contest with China and Russia over other …

The 2026 World Cup distributes the costs to the south and the benefits to FIFA

Torniquete monumental de barrotes metálicos en concreto brutalista, con luz dorada y turquesa

FIFA has repeated, for a decade now, the same promise before every World Cup. This time it would be the most inclusive tournament in history, with more national teams than ever and a message of unity repeated at every press conference given by Gianni Infantino.

WHAT IS ACIDREPORT?

EDITORIAL DECLARATION — ACIDREPORT

« The world is not chaotic. It is administered. By identifiable interests, with documentable methods, for the benefit of actors who would prefer not to be named. Journalism that pretends not to see this does not practise neutrality: it practises complicity. »

EL LARGO FUEGO

Colombia has been producing guerrilla for a century for the same reason it produces misery, because its structures are designed not to distribute but to conserve. This series reconstructs, in nine episodes, the chain that turned peasant grievance into armed insurgency, insurgency into criminal economy, and criminal economy into a permanent argument for militarising everything that moves. From the banana massacre of 1928 to the fractured peace of 2026.

The missing story

The journalistic agenda is not built in a vacuum. Behind every published article, dozens never came to be. Stories without witnesses, phenomena without names, silences that no one had the time or resources to break.

If there is a story that deserves to be told, write to the newsroom. A company operating outside public scrutiny, a policy that crushes what it claims to protect, a pattern that repeats without anyone having documented it. We do not promise to publish. We promise to read.

We do not store personal data. Your email is used only if the newsroom needs to contact you.
