  • After Step Aside Joe — Now What?

    “We’re glad to see that Joe Biden has finally ended his presidential run. When we launched our ‘Step Aside Joe’ campaign 20 months ago, we’d hoped he would withdraw early enough for there to be an open primary process like in 2020, allowing the Democratic Party to consolidate behind a candidate strong enough to repel Donald Trump’s neofascism. While time is now short, we still hope that the Democrats will find a candidate who will animate the same kind of multigenerational, multiracial coalition of working people and grassroots activists that defeated Trump in 2020.”

  • World Court Rules Overwhelmingly Against Israel’s Occupation

  • “Greater Israel” and “Mirage” of “Two State Solution”

    “On the one hand, we have Netanyahu with his ‘Greater Israel,’ which is an old Zionist romantic idea of expanding Israel ‘from the Nile to the Euphrates,’ which has a false biblical claim to it and will draw support from Christian Zionist politicians like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and Mike Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador to…

  • UN General Assembly: Deploy International Protection Force to Gaza
