They Have No Solutions for Us
Download pdf Since Trump became President, the reality of this so-called democracy has been on display for all to see. The Republicans in Congress have bowed to every demand. And the Democrats have barely expressed any opposition. Some judges have issued rulings opposing the most blatant disregard for laws. But the final word is left […]
We Must Resist Their Attempts to Silence Us!
On March 18th, Israel launched another massive assault and bombardment of Gaza, killing over 400 people in one day. This was one of the deadliest single days in Gaza since Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine began in October 2023. Israel’s bombing broke the ceasefire with Hamas that was agreed in January. But in reality, this […]
An Injury to One is an Injury to All!
Since Trump took office, he, his cabinet of billionaires, and Elon Musk have created an overwhelming sense of chaos. Each day, announcements of a new attack on a new group of people or a new agency have crashed over us like relentless storm surges. It has created an atmosphere filled with fear, anger, or sometimes […]
Trump, Musk, and the Billionaire Pigs at the Trough
Trump’s speech to Congress put on full display both the administration’s massive attacks on working people, as well as the Democrats’ absolutely useless response. The Trump administration is doing everything they can to cut spending on workers and the poor in order to make room for a tax cut for the wealthiest people on the […]
We Are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For
Week after week, more federal workers are being fired and more federal funding is stripped away from public services by the Trump/Musk regime. And now the “Trump budget” has begun to take shape. Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) cut funds and fired hundreds of workers at the Federal Aviation Administration. Soon after, Musk’s company, […]
Trump’s Presidency: An Open Attack on Working People
Trump’s strategy since taking office has been clear: to grab as much power for the presidency as possible, while he and Elon Musk — the wealthiest person in the world, who was unelected — systematically try to dismantle public services, while pushing through massive tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations. This is what we’ve […]
They Can’t Erase Reality
In a matter of weeks Trump, Musk and his DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) force, and the new heads of government agencies have been tearing things up in Washington. Who could believe that this band of billionaires is rooting out wasteful spending for our benefit? It’s clear that their goal is to enrich themselves from […]
Trump Has Ripped the Mask Off Their Brutal System
The Trump administration has continued its slew of executive orders and coordinated attacks on various sections of the population. This is a strategy of shock and awe, designed to overwhelm and disorient people, and to go after the most marginalized in order to shift attention and blame for society’s problems away from the wealthy. And […]
These Attacks are Meant to Stop Us. We Can’t Let Them!
Announcement after announcement about planned executive orders have been filling up our news feeds in the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second presidential term. From education to healthcare to food access to queer, trans, and immigrant rights, Trump’s administration has asserted plans to cut federal support for programs that many of us rely on. […]
Their Whole System is the Problem — Not Migrants
Trump has now been in power for a week. Since taking office, he has shown very clearly whose interests he intends to represent. Trump’s inauguration was attended by some of the wealthiest and most powerful CEOs in our society, including the three richest men in the world — Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and Elon Musk […]
Don’t Let Trump’s Chaos Divide Us!
Donald Trump will be inaugurated as president of the United States for the second time on January 20, 2025. In the last few months, since he won the presidential election, his promises and off-handed threats are confusing and unsettling. Annex Canada and Greenland? Seize the Panama Canal? Trump’s rants have also been scary. He has […]
Los Angeles Fires: Their System Cannot Protect Us
The massive fires ripping across Los Angeles have brought unprecedented levels of destruction. At least 24 people are dead, and more than 12,000 structures have been destroyed, from homes, and businesses, to schools, apartment buildings, and vehicles.

This reaction shouldn’t come as […]
Trump Cabinet Picks: Bad for Our Health
Trump’s latest Cabinet appointments reveal an administration even more determined to prioritize the wealthy and powerful at the expense of working people.

Trump’s Cabinet: Attacks on Workers Are Coming
Trump has announced many of his Cabinet picks, revealing a circus of unqualified loyalists, including corporate executives, wealthy elites, and far-right reactionaries, all intent on giving handouts to the rich, while attacking workers and the poor. He has selected people ready to shred the Environmental Protection Agency to benefit the fossil fuel companies. He has […]
An Attack on Immigrant Workers is an Attack on All Workers
During the recent U.S. presidential elections, both Harris and Trump focused on immigration as a central issue. Now that Trump has been elected president, he is threatening serious measures: mass deportations, ending automatic citizenship for children of immigrants born in the U.S., and rolling back temporary protected status for certain migrants who are escaping unsafe […]
Their Elections Can’t Decide Our Future — We Can
Donald Trump has been reelected, winning both the popular vote and every swing state, with the Republicans likely gaining control of both houses of Congress. But despite what the media says, this is not some mandate from the population. Instead, the election results show this was a rejection of the Democrats and the status quo, […]
Their Election is Over, Our Future is Up to Us!
As of November 4, 2024, people are still casting their votes, and we might not know who officially won the presidential election for weeks. With so much uncertainty, it’s important to look beyond just who wins or loses. The months leading up to this election have been filled with many promises from candidates. But how […]
Elections 2024: Either Way the Rich Will Win
We’re now just a week away from the presidential election.

This election has already been the most expensive election in history, with an estimated $16 […]
Words Won’t Save Lives, No More Aid to Israel!
The situation in Gaza and the Middle East is rapidly deteriorating. Israeli forces are carrying out a relentless military campaign with no signs of stopping.

[…]
Hurricanes Show Their System Offers No Solutions

Solidarity with Palestinians and the Oppressed
The fight against U.S.-backed Israeli aggression is part of our fight for justice and dignity at home. We must stand firmly on the side of the oppressed, here and in the Middle East.
We Must Act to End the U.S./Israeli War in the Middle East

Labor Day – Our Struggle Continues!
Labor Day is a long weekend with barbecues and family gatherings, at least for those of us who actually get the day off. It will be accompanied by election-year speeches with promises to improve the economy so that working people’s lives are improved. But no matter whether the promises come from Republicans or Democrats, they […]
Israel Threatens Wider War with U.S. Support
Israel’s brutality has again threatened to spark a wider regional war in the Middle East. Recently, Israel assassinated one of Hamas’s main political leaders, Ismail Haniyeh, who had been their lead negotiator in ceasefire talks. This happened in Iran hours after they also assassinated a top Hezbollah military commander in Lebanon. Iran has promised a […]
Kamala Harris: Business as Usual
A lot has changed in the past few weeks. Right after Biden was finally forced to drop out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris as his successor, the Democratic Party received a jolt in the arm. They have been able to create some new buzz around Harris. The media is less critical of […]
The 2024 Election: The Problem isn’t Who is on the Ballot
In recent weeks, there have been growing calls for President Biden to drop out of the presidential election. His performance at the debate, as well as in recent press conferences, have shown noticeable decline in his mental and physical capacities.

Beyond Rainbows: Pride’s Radical Roots
The history of LGBTQ+ rights is as diverse as the community itself. Like other marginalized groups, the LGBTQ+ community’s journey towards liberation has been marked by struggle. With the rise in anti-trans and homophobic laws, opposition groups, and increased violence, it’s crucial to remember queer history and how any progress has been achieved. Let this […]
No to the Massacre in Rafah Carried Out in Our Name!
We can build on what has started, and begin to spread our movement, to stand in support of the Palestinian people, in any way we can. The bombs that destroy their hospitals, the tanks that fire on their homes and crush their tents, the artillery and bullets that rip through people’s bodies indiscriminately, leaving thousands dead, — all are paid for by our tax dollars. This genocidal assault is being carried out in our name. It must be stopped, and it’s our responsibility, living in the U.S., Israel’s chief ally and weapons dealer, to end this war. #FreePalestine #StopGenocide
We Must Oppose This War on the Palestinian People

Every Day is Tax Day for the Working Class
People think of April 15 as Tax Day because that’s when federal and state income taxes are generally due. If you get a refund, it’s only because you have been paying into the system all year. Working-class people pay all year long, not just income taxes, but sales taxes on all kinds of things we […]
The Federal Budget – Costs of the Empire
Tax day is coming up soon, which along with every time we look at our paychecks, is a reminder of how much we pay each year – and for what? Despite how much we pay in taxes, everything around us seems to be falling apart, not just roads but bridges and other infrastructure and social […]
Airline Industry: Their Profits Over Our Lives
The airline industry in the United States has been in the news recently after a series of alarming safety incidents.

Gaza: US Hypocrisy on Full Display
As election season kicks into gear, the Democratic Party seems desperate due to their blatant support for the genocide in Gaza. Biden has a very low approval rating, losing more and more voters each day as the genocide intensifies. If the presidential election took place today, it is unlikely he would win. In response, the […]
Genocide in Gaza: by Israel AND the U.S.

We Don’t Have A Border Problem. We Have A Capitalism Problem!
The U.S.-Mexico border is once again in the spotlight. Over the recent period, right-wing politicians have escalated a political campaign, particularly on the Texas border. Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently formed what he called the Texas Tactical Border Force to stop refugees from coming into the U.S. This is after his forces strung deadly razor […]
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice”
The words above were the words of MLK Jr. in March, 1967, at the height of the social movements that fought for racial justice, economic equality and an end to U.S. imperialist policy in Viet Nam. As we enter February, with its focus on Black history, those words are certainly quite relevant today. We are […]
