The No Kings mobilization on March 28 was a powerful outcry against the forces of war and reaction. It was the largest single-day outpouring of street protests in U.S. history. The massive flood of people was fueled by widespread opposition to the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran, as well as by the resistance to ICE’s immigrant roundups shown by the people of Minneapolis in the winter.

Far from being a personal whim of Trump's or a trap set by the Mossad, the US-Israel war on Iran is the logical conclusion of decades of imperialist policy, with bipartisan and European approval backing it up.

For the Iranian people to be able to choose their destiny, Trump’s offensive must first be defeated. History demonstrates—from the partisans of Yugoslavia to the revolutionaries of China, and including the lesson of the MEK’s failure when Iraq invaded Iran, and the crimes committed by the recent U.S. occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan—that the working class can only advance if it joins the struggle against the invader.

The struggle by JBS workers in Greeley extends beyond the shop floor. The issues of immigration and human trafficking also play a central role in understanding the relationship between the JBS workers and the managers and owners. Meatpacking workers are a highly immigrant sector of the class, and close to 50 languages are spoken on the floor of the plant. In Greeley, a significant number of the workers are Haitian immigrants, protected by Temporary Protective Status (TPS), a program that is now under attack by the Trump administration.

It has been less than 20 years since the Great Recession. The paltry reforms that Dodd-Frank introduced have failed to stop Wall Street from finding ways to gamble with the wealth of society.

The following article was originally published on the IWL website in 2017: The German news agency DW, citing the Venezuelan Observatory on Social Conflict (OVCS), claims that ‘the colectivos’ are parapolice and paramilitary groups operating in close coordination with other state security forces. DW concludes that: ‘Unarmed civilians in Venezuela are the ones most likely […]

Joseph “Country Joe“ McDonald, a key figure of the psychedelic music scene in San Francisco and the 1960s counterculture, died of complications from Parkinson’s on March 7, 2026. From the start to the end, Country Joe was man of the left. He was born on Jan. 1, 1942, the son of two active members of […]

Upon returning to power, Donald Trump wasted no time in resuming his environmental destruction by the stroke of his felt-tip pen.

Beyond the horror of Epstein and other ruling-class figures' crimes, the Epstein scandal shows how, at the end of the day, the bourgeoisie stands united

On March 13, Palestinian immigrant worker Leqaa Kordia, 33, a U.S. resident, will mark exactly one year since her detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and given a political prison sentence disguised as an immigration status case. She remains incarcerated in a detention center in Texas.

Trump's Board of Peace further subjugates Palestinians, at the same time that it threatens to replace the UN-based imperialist system with something far worse

Despite claims by Trump and his minions, voter fraud in the U.S. is very rare. But his lies still set the basis for meddling with elections, and doing away with the rest of our democratic rights along the way

The modern police apparatus in the United States is based on the principles of intelligence fusion and intelligence-led policing. These are fancy ways of saying that all of the various police agencies are in communication and organization with each other using methods of mass surveillance, informant networks, and community engagement to enforce capitalist social order.  The ways that this communication and organization is organized are concrete and easy to identify, but largely undiscussed by politicians and the mainstream press. They are also more expansive than the police, or even the state, including in their networks large corporations’ and other private surveillance as well as executives and other elites.

The central dividing line in this war is clear. The United States and Israel have launched an imperialist assault on a sovereign country, openly demanding regime change and killing hundreds of civilians in the process. Whatever crimes the Islamic Republic has committed against its own people—and they are many—this does not grant Washington or Tel Aviv the right to bomb Iran, assassinate its leaders, or determine its political future. The right to remove the regime belongs to the Iranian people alone.

US imperialism and Israel are attacking Iran right now. This attack is set to be much larger than the one in June 2025. The bombings have already hit several Iranian cities, including Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Tabriz, and others. Both Trump and Netanyahu openly aim to eliminate Khamenei and Iran’s leadership. They seek not only to […]

With the launch of his Peace Council at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 22, US President Donald Trump is attempting to carry out his long-cherished and shamelessly publicized project to establish a Middle Eastern Riviera in Gaza by February 2025. Amidst the suffering of the Palestinian people in the face of ongoing genocide, he sees an opportunity to establish his luxury resort in full view of the world, while giving carte blanche to Israel, imperialism's military enclave, to carry out the final solution in the ongoing Nakba—the Palestinian catastrophe that has lasted for almost 78 years.
