  • Taxpayers File Legal Charges Over Gaza Genocide Against U.S. Government

    “The groups assert that the United States government — through the actions of both the Biden and Trump administrations, as well as Congress — has been “complicit in Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and has violated its binding obligations under the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man. This is the only legal complaint in the world that directly takes on the U.S. government as a whole for its leading role in the genocide. The complaint is born of grief, outrage, and a refusal to accept that human life can be erased with impunity.”


  • Working-Class Voters on “Key Issues”

    A new study from the Center for Working-Class Politics and Jacobin analyzed three comprehensive surveys in U.S. political science, revealing where “working-class voters stand on key issues.” The study found that “the message is clear: economic populism must be the core of progressive appeals to workers.” The data spans from 1960 to 2022, tracking long-term shifts in working-class attitudes across six issue domains: immigration, civil rights, social norms, environmental policy, and two categories of economic policy. 


  • Israel’s Slaughter Continues

    On Friday, Trump called for Israel to “immediately stop the bombing of Gaza” and on Saturday said he appreciated “Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing.” Mosab Abu Toha noted then: “President Trump just claimed that Israel has temporarily stopped bombing Gaza.

Please, take a few minutes to check reliable news sources, not just the information provided by those actively committing war crimes, the same ones you are funding and defending.” He provided the number of the dead at various hospitals. And he showed a video of a baby killed after Trump’s order. He then learned that on Saturday, Israel killed a second cousin of his, Abdallah Talal…

  • Disruption at Port Elizabeth: “The Nonviolent Way to Stop a Genocide Is to Stop the Shipment of Weapons”

    “This site exports weapons used by Israel to kill Palestinians in Gaza, shipped by Maersk and ZIM. In addition, it is one of the largest weapons exporters on the East coast. Supplying these weapons for Israel’s genocide is a blatant violation of the U.S. War Crimes Act, the Leahy law, The Foreign Assistance Act, Arms Export Control Act, and The Genocide Convention Implementation Act. To uphold these laws and prevent unlawful weapons shipments, protestors peacefully came to uphold all U.S. and international laws pertaining to genocide.”


  • * Israel Illegally Attacks Flotilla * Italy: Mass Strike

Vox populi vox dei as the ancient Romans used to say (the voice of the people is the voice of God). … Will Italian popular masses start enacting a people’s embargo and drag their political class to institutionalize it? The answer is a resounding yes, at least for the People’s Embargo.”


  • * Palestinian Push for Colombia Initiative * Pope Asked to Atone for His Stance on Gaza on Yom Kippur

  • The DNC Platform on Israel “Reads as if AIPAC Wrote it”

    Prem Thakker reports that as Biden was speaking: “Audience members at the DNC in Chicago unfurl banner that says ‘Stop arming Israel.’ After audience sees the banner, they begin chanting ‘We love Joe.’ Man tries to rip banner away.
