Ultra-orthodox draft protesters block roads, trains across Israel
Tens of thousands of ultra-Orthodox demonstrated across Israel on Monday, blocking roads and trains and setting cars on fire to protest mandatory enlistment in Israel’s military. Israel’s police said demonstrators blocked major intersections and attacked a soldier who disembarked from a bus near a protest. Police struggled to control the crowds with water cannons and horses.

Iran halts talks with US, says it will close Bab el-Mandeb Strait: Report
Tasnim said that Iran wants an "immediate cessation" of Israel's military operations in Gaza and Lebanon. Tasnim, which is close to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said that Iran and its allies had "set their determination to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and activate other fronts, including the Bab el-Mandeb Strait" at the entrance to the Red Sea. Iran’s threat to blockade the Bab el-Mandeb Strait would mark an escalation in its steps to inflict pain on the global economy in order to force the US into concessions.

‘A shock to all Lebanese’: Israel sends a message as it takes ancient fort
Last week, what was a low-intensity war suddenly accelerated, with Israeli warplanes killing at least a dozen people a day, and Israeli soldiers once again marching forward. Beaufort Castle was the most tangible marker of Israel’s progress, both to Israelis and Lebanese. Netanyahu, facing pressure from his domestic political rivals, happily announced that Israel was deepening its invasion in Lebanon.

Germany’s Council of Economic Experts demands “U-turn” on care, health and pensions
According to their report, contribution rates for social insurance, which are borne half by employees and half by companies, will rise from the current 40 to almost 50 percent by 2040 if nothing changes in the existing legal situation. This is to be prevented at the expense of those in need of care, the sick and pensioners.

Protesters call on Kenyan government to halt femicide crisis
Protesters have accused the government of failing to investigate cases properly, and have called for stronger protections, faster investigations, harsher penalties, and more support for affected families. In response to the pressure, authorities announced late last month the formation of a dedicated investigative unit, combining criminal intelligence analysts, forensic experts, homicide investigators, and other specialists.

Ethiopian election expected to give leader Abiy's party a landslide win
Voting took place in Ethiopia on Monday in parliamentary and regional elections expected to hand Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's ruling ​Prosperity Party an easy victory, despite significant unrest in much of the country. More than 50 million people were registered to vote, but there ‌was no election in the northern Tigray region, where organisers had cited "unfavourable conditions" in the aftermath of a two-year civil war and amid continuing political turmoil.

Schumer Among Top Dems Who Marched at NYC Israel Parade With Accused ‘War Criminal’ Smotrich

Minnesota Republicans rebuked for Derek Chauvin moment of silence
More recently, however, Chauvin has become something of a cause celebre for political rightwingers and conservative influencers, including Ben Shapiro, who has asserted Floyd was not suffocated but died of a pre-existing medical condition. Calls for Trump to pardon Chauvin have been amplified by Elon Musk, the world’s richest man and ally of the US president. Analysts say such a move by Trump would not secure Chauvin’s release from prison but would see him transferred instead to a state facility.

Millions pour into Nevada primary ads. A third of the money is untraceable.
It reflects the increasingly prominent role that so-called “dark money” groups are playing in American elections, especially since a 2010 U.S. Supreme Court ruling gave more leeway to corporate donations to these groups. These entities do not have to disclose their donors because they are registered as a 501(c)(4), a type of nonprofit that can raise unlimited funds and lobby on issues that exclusively “promote social welfare.”

“As Smotrich was joining establishment Democratic figures from New York state in the parade—including New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, US Rep. Dan Goldman, Attorney General Letitia James, and New York City Council Speaker Julie Menin—Ben-Gvir on Sunday was publicly calling for the Israel Defense Forces to “flatten” Beirut’s suburbs in the IDF’s incursion into Lebanon—“a direct incitement to mass civilian destruction,” according to Middle East Eye.”

What a despicable fucking country we live in. If karma were real these pieces of filth would rot in hell with Netanyahu.

Dispatches from Delaney Hall: Confronting ICE and State Police
Following the strikers’ consistent demand to meet with Governor Mikie Sherill — who, four months ago, said ICE agents need to be held accountable for their illegal actions, and who, two months ago, made it illegal for ICE agents to wear masks only after pressure from the movement — we joined their call at the gates for her to show up and meet with them as they invoke their rights for medical care, nourishing food free of worms, and basic accountability for the innumerable human rights abuses inside. Sherrill took four days to show up. She asked to go in. Staff apparently told her no. She got in front of cameras near the sidewalk to say she’d ask again (at some other time in an unspecified future). And then she left. Monday night, after Martín was relocated to the Elizabeth Detention Center, more demonstrators arrived and visitation hours for families were closed, citing the demonstrations as a risk — not, of course, their coerced labor or their shameful provisions. (As of the time of this writing, visitation hours have still not been restored.) Tuesday evening, after teaching all day, a coworker and I went straight to Delaney Hall and joined the line of people who locked arms opposite ICE agents, the majority of whom covered their faces with masks. We chanted and held a line at the south gate to keep vans from leaving with more people. That evening, we were chased across the street — away from Delaney Hall — and attacked. Some of us were singled out.

Authorities in Minnesota Kill 9 People, Shoot 14 in Last Six Months
Law enforcement officers in Minnesota have shot at least 14 people across the state in the past six months, killing 9 of them. With the exception of three shootings by federal officers in January, two of which were fatal, the other 11 shootings were conducted by police, sheriffs, and deputies. No less than 1,201 people were killed by police in the U.S. last year, after 2024 set a record high with American police killing at least 1,271 people. Officers were charged with a crime in 8 of the 1,201 killings in 2025, according to Mapping Police Violence.

The ‘Epstein class’ exposed: how the ruling class rules
The Epstein files give us something unusual. Never before have we had such an insight, albeit partial and uneven, into the inner workings of the capitalist class. The leaked Panama Papers in 2016 and the Paradise Papers a year later gave us a glimpse. We saw how the world’s capitalists secretly slip their money across borders and onto tiny islands, where they can avoid tax and scrutiny. Occasionally, we catch sight of the vast revolving door sweeping people between government jobs and the private sector. So common is this practice that no one even tries to keep it a secret. It’s an accepted connection between capitalists and their political representatives. For a case study, look at Britain. In recent years, the Spycops scandal, the Jimmy Savile case, the ousting of the Liz Truss government, and threats made by serving generals that they would not obey a Corbyn government, have all illuminated the shadowy backrooms inhabited by the ruling class. But these are individual cases. The significance of the Epstein files is that they reveal the process as a continuous, interconnected whole. They show us the social fabric through which wealth and power move.
Marx and Engels explained in The Communist Manifesto how capitalist society is divided into mutually antagonistic classes, based on their relationship to the means of production. The capitalist class is compelled to exploit the working class in order to make profits and stay competitive in the market. The resulting concentration of fabulous wealth at one pole, and misery at the other, is therefore not a mistake but inherent to the system. Contrary to what the utopian socialists believed, the ruling class could not be convinced to give this up for the advancement of all humanity – in fact they would do whatever was necessary to preserve their rule.
