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.

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.

Within the polemics of the different left currents, they tend to discuss the policies towards Maduro’s administration, the Constituent Assembly, and/or imperialism. But, unfortunately, little is […]
San Francisco educators and school workers have won our first strike in nearly 50 years. The strike galvanized our entire union, garnered support from the City’s working-class, and forced a long-intransigent district to concede on our key demands for better working and living conditions.
During the 2024 presidential debates between Biden and Trump, Trump pushed the lurid accusation that Haitian immigrants were “eating cats and dogs.” This claim had percolated up through social media for a while before being picked up by professional agitator Christopher Rufo, well-known for popularizing right-ring panics like the one over “critical race theory.” Rufo […]
Despite their union leadership’s betrayal, rank-and-file nurses refused to back down. Led by their executive committee, NYP strikers called an emergency rally at 11 a.m. on Feb. 11 by Herald Square.

It’s no coincidence that Trump and Colombia’s far-right Uribismo agree on anti-drug policies of military repression and forced eradication of illicit crops, as well as the defense of “cooperation” between the United States and Colombia. They are united by their undeclared defense of the drug trade’s illegality, considering its profits represent 7% of the global […]

This logic has led to U.S. imperialist domination of Colombia, a country that […]
No emancipatory transformation can come from external coercion. Those in power do not act in the name of people's rights, but rather in their own strategic interests.
