Trump's Iran War Has No Plan, No Exit, and No Victory in Sight w/ @BrianBeckerDC & @layansima LISTEN: linktr.ee/TheSocialistPr…

Trump’s War Is a Disaster for the Economy and Humanity, w/ @profwolff LISTEN: linktr.ee/TheSocialistPr…

In 1953 the CIA secretly organized a coup to overthrow the democratically elected leader of Iran. This was the CIA's first regime change operation — code-named “Operation Ajax” — becoming the playbook for later CIA operations. Under U.S.-backed rule, SAVAK, the Shah’s secret police, heavily surveilled and imprisoned political opponents. SAVAK operated their own detention centers, and their methods of torture were systematic and extreme.

Across the country, people are rejecting the Trump administration’s brutal, warmongering, and anti-people policies. We’ve seen historic fights in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and beyond—protests erupting because we refuse to accept a reality where the billionaires profit and the rest of us suffer. The same is happening with Trump's new and extremely unpopular war on Iran. The fight against war is connected with the fight against ICE, the fight against the war on Black America, the fight against genocide, and the fight against the oppression of women and the LGBTQ community. It’s all connected. And it’s up to us to create the world we deserve! Join us in the streets this Saturday. Stop the War on Iran. Hands off the Middle East. Fund what we need at home—not war! 📍 Union Square 🗓️ Sat, March 7 • 2pm

Today, people in over 60 cities across the country gathered to rally against war in Iran, less than 24h after the US and Israel launched numerous attacks on Iranian soil, spreading havoc and killing civilians. In Los Angeles, Brian Becker (@BrianBeckerDC), the National Coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition, spoke against the war to a crowd of hundreds. It is clear that the American people don’t want another war on the Middle East!

‘I Can Destroy The Country’ Trump Lashes Out After Tariffs Rebuked w/ @BrianBeckerDC & @profwolff LISTEN: linktr.ee/TheSocialistPr…

70,000 manufacturing jobs in the US were lost under Trump’s tariff regime. Beyond the political “catastrophe” of today’s Supreme Court ruling for Trump, we should remember the tariffs had already failed at their central economic premise, says @profwolff.

Why The Ruling Class Fears A General Strike w/ @BrianBeckerDC & @layansima LISTEN: linktr.ee/TheSocialistPr…

Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino held a press conference portraying CBP shooting victim Alex Pretti as a dangerous assassin who was intending to “massacre” law enforcement. For every one of Bovino’s assertions, there’s a growing amount of first-hand video and eyewitness accounts that point to the total opposite. Bovino claims that Pretti approached law enforcement with a weapon. In fact, Pretti appears to be filming on his phone and then steps in front of an agent after he pepper sprays and pushes another bystander to shield her. MPD has confirmed Alex Pretti was licensed to own and carry a gun. There is no footage showing him pulling it on law enforcement during the encounter. On the contrary, multiple videos, including a freeze-frame analysis of the one BT first posted this morning, show an agent appearing to remove the firearm from Alex Pretti’s holster before the first shot from CBP. With more information still coming out, BT journalists remain in Minnesota and will continue to ensure the facts of this story are not distorted.
