Professor Tommy J. Curry incisively demonstrates that, despite presenting itself as revolutionary and Marxist, the methods of BLM the org, ultimately undermined its stated intent—revealing the movement to be more reactionary and anti-militant than transformative.

Ultimately, protests such as the #NoKings ones are useless, despite their intentions. To be effective, protests must disrupt the machinery of the state itself, which is why to build true power we need a militant labor movement that will engage in mass striking.

The Democrat Party has JOINED WITH its radical Marxist, ANTI-AMERICAN base. There’s no longer room in their party for moderates or centrists — only extremists who praise Hamas, call to abolish borders, defund the police, and “seize the means of production” which ultimately hurts American workers. This isn’t the Democratic Party of old — it’s a Marxist movement with Mamdani at the helm.

🚨 Inside DSA’s Labor Strategy: Abolish Money, Occupy Workplaces, Run “Cadre Candidates,” Pursue “More Militant Actions” DSA’s electoral work often overshadows its organizing in other arenas, but it would behoove people to pay closer attention to how openly militant parts of its labor strategy can be. Even the bread-and-butter labor work comes with radical qualifiers. Higher wages are “important at least until money is abolished.” Another panelist argues that fights for reforms should be “subordinated” to the “revolutionary struggle” and, ultimately, “to communism.” The goal is to get the working class to a point where workers are willing to “push past things like Taft-Hartley,” “occupy their workplaces,” and pursue “more militant actions.” And when normal union structures cannot deliver a broader strike, “the remaining alternative is wildcatting” — an unauthorized strike undertaken without union leadership’s approval and, as Alex puts it, “illegal by definition.” At the same time, the strategy is to gain more influence inside organized labor itself, through the “rank and file strategy” and even running “cadre candidates” for labor councils and AFL-CIO boards. The stated objective is to keep “building workers towards militant labor action.” The question eventually becomes whether a general strike should win better contracts, force the president to resign, or “bring the system to its knees.”

🚨🇺🇸 🇮🇷 A regime that governs for itself rather than its people will always be standing on a fault line. Professor Kenneth Roth argued that despite potential economic shifts, the majority of Iranians remain desperate for a democratic alternative to their current repression. Prof. Roth predicts that as long as the government prioritizes staying in power over the suffering of its citizens, another popular uprising is inevitable. "A majority of Iranians would love to get rid of the regime." Kenneth Roth

Across the U.S., Indigenous people are gathering to honor loved ones as part of the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples movement. The AP and its partners in the Global Indigenous Reporting Network -- MPR News, KOSU and The Imprint -- spoke to families about the disproportionate violence in their communities and the changes they want. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Native Americans and Alaska Natives are more than twice as likely than the general population to be victims of a violent crime, and Native women are twice as likely to be victims of homicide.

Hamas said it has agreed to a U.S.-backed framework that could ultimately see the militant group give up its weapons and control of Gaza, while Israeli forces withdraw from the territory. The U.S. and the U.S.-sponsored Board of Peace admit that implementing the agreement will take time and could be derailed. But President Trump called it a “great breakthrough.” Nick Schifrin has more.

❗️Ursula von der Leyen stated at the meeting of EU ambassadors in Brussels that Ukraine will receive a €90 billion loan despite all obstacles (in particular, Hungary's blocking). She emphasized: The EU will fulfill its commitments because the trust and security of the Union are at stake. This is a priority, and the loan will be provided. She stated that Europe will always support Ukraine as a future member of the EU and the first line of defense, and peace must be just so as not to generate new conflicts.

🚨 Charlotte Kates Explains the Red-Green Alliance: Hamas Is the Working Class FTO-designated Samidoun’s Charlotte Kates spoke with the Institute for the Critical Study of Society, and it was a master class in shameless propaganda and the red-green alliance. Kates dismissed accounts of Hamas atrocities on October 7 as “completely bogus,” portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a revolutionary figure seeking social justice and political change, and called on the revolutionary left to support the victory of Iran and its regional allies over the United States and Israel. But perhaps the most revealing part was her attempt to collapse the distinction between the working class and armed Islamist movements. In Kates’s telling, “the working class and the resistance are one,” with Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Ansar Allah, and the PFLP presented as revolutionary expressions of oppressed workers. Kates argues that Marxist-Leninists should do more than defend these groups or stand in solidarity with them. They should “join the battle” and become part of the resistance themselves.

#JKagainstNarcoTerror has become a symbol of unity and public responsibility in Jammu & Kashmir. The huge participation in Kulgam shows that the anti-drug movement is now rooted in society itself. Credit to Office of LG J&K for taking this mission beyond administration and into communities.

The anti immigration movement in South Africa was a very bad decision taken without considering the consequences . Any country that singles itself out from its neighbors will always feel the effect of its actions in time to come . Many more rejection from Africans are still expected . The only remedy in my opinion is apology and peace .

Both the US and Cuba were founded upon settler colonialism, genocide of Indigenous peoples, and chattel slavery of abducted Africans. So why is US nationalism reactionary, while Cuban nationalism is revolutionary? ￭ Nationalism itself isn’t inherently reactionary or revolutionary — it depends on the context, whether it is an oppressor nation or an oppressed nation, whether it is in service of liberation or in service of imperialism and its national comprador class. ￭ Just like Israeli nationalism, US nationalism emerged as a settler identity built upon genocide. ￭ Martyred Palestinian revolutionary Basel Al-Araj argued that the Israeli occupation is “almost a carbon copy of America,” and the best approach to win US people over to the Palestinian cause is “to dismantle the idea of America in their minds… It is impossible to win over an American to our side without them opposing the idea of America.” By Calla
