Leon Trotsky 1918:

Novelist Philip Roth (1933) – “Some periods are more favorable to genius than others. Roth grew up during the Cold War and the limitations of American intellectual life during that epoch also helped shape him, as much as he may have cursed and even kicked against its confines.”

Organize the working class to support the JBS meatpacking strike! wsws.org/en/articles/20… [Tom Hall] While the war in Iran and attacks on democratic rights at home show an American ruling class plumbing the depths of barbarism, a different and progressive movement is emerging within the working class. -At Greeley, UFCW Local 7 responded to spontaneous walkouts by instructing workers to remain on the job -The nationalist poison of “America First” and its equivalents in other countries must be rejected in favor of the principle that has animated working class struggles since the 19th century: “Workers of the World, Unite!” The path forward is international solidarity and rank-and-file control—building an organized counteroffensive of the working class against JBS, the financial oligarchy behind it, and the political forces that will be mobilized to break this strike.

Breaking: A Mexican teenager has died while in ICE custody in South Florida. He appears to be the youngest person to die in ICE custody since Trump took office last year. miaminewtimes.com/news/mexican-t…

Trump killed Zohreh in Iran. She was not a threat. She was an elementary school teacher in Minab. She was pregnant. Trump’s Tomahawk missile killed her and her unborn baby.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

19-year-old Royer Perez-Jimenez died in ICE custody Tues. He was detained for merging lanes on his scooter. Per @AlexLDeLuca of @miaminewtimes.

Students & workers must completely reject the fake opposition of the NDP to the OSAP cuts. The NDP is committed to do zero beyond vague promises of “fighting” Ford through the dead end of parliament instead of mobilizing the working class for a strike #onted #onpoli

Gus Van Sant has often demonstrated a kind of “passive resistance,” an Andy Warhol-like accommodation to the culture and society. 'Dead Man’s Wire' is an angrier work. Events appear to be moving him - Gus Van Sant’s Dead Man’s Wire: Rage at a rigged system wsws.org/en/articles/20…

"Objective conditions impart to correct policies enormous power. But what is possible must be achieved through our efforts...We are in a revolutionary period; we are in a counter-revolutionary period. Which of these two tendencies will predominate? Struggle will decide."

So, so glad that Leqaa Kordia has finally been released. But the corporate media is erasing Yaakub Vijandre when it repeats the lie that she was the "last pro-Palestinian protester detained by Trump." Yaakub was arrested at gun pt on Oct 7, detained since. Don't forget Yaakub!

@JuicyJason6 She worked with the Democrats in the Seattle City Council. And Socialist Alternative, when she was a leader, were the most fanatical and uncritical promoters of the Sanders campaign. Then she joined the DSA. She is solidly in the orbit of this capitalist party.

This is the fucking problem with the socialist movement. Endless sectarianism when we have a chance to replace a genocidal Dem with an independent socialist. There is a historic opportunity for independent politics right now, and this is what you're writing about?

@JuicyJason6 Of whom is Sawant independent? She has supported AOC, Sanders, and Mamdani, all of whom seek to trap the growing radicalization of workers and youth within the graveyard of the Democratic Party. If she is independent of anything, it is the Marxist movement and the working class.

3,800 meatpacking workers are on strike against JBS in Greeley, Colorado. It's the largest meatpacking strike since the 1950s. 80-90 percent of the workers at JBS in Greeley are immigrants, and over 50 languages are spoken there.

Stéphane Mallarmé (1842)–French poet, reader of anarchist La Révolte, pointed in 1876 to the working class as “a hitherto ignored people in France’s political life,” whose participation in that process “is a social fact that will honor the whole of the close of the 19th century”
