Tudeh Party of Iran, Long live the dynamic, encompassing, and heroic uprising of the Iranian people against the dictatorship of Ali Khamenei
The popular protest uprising, which began with protests and strikes in Tehran's bazaar, has rapidly spread over the past 13 days to dozens of cities and towns across the country and now poses a major challenge to the ruling dictatorship. Contrary to the claims of the ruling dictator, this popular protest movement is not a creation of US imperialism or the genocidal Israeli regime, but rather the direct result of the disastrous economic policies of the ruling grand-capitalist system, and the widespread corruption, insecurity, and sweeping oppression imposed upon the nation by the leaders of the regime and their collaborators. Throughout Iran's contemporary history - including during the more than half-century rule of the Pahlavi monarchy [1925 - 1979] - we have borne witness to countless other examples of such oppression, corruption, plunder, as well as the eventual fate of the regimes responsible.

Under Imperialism, there is no “International Law”
The widespread claim that recent imperialist bluntness, epitomized by the Trump doctrine, has “destroyed international law” rests on a false premise: that such a law ever existed as a binding, neutral framework above imperialism. From a Marxist-Leninist standpoint, this belief is not an error of detail but a fundamental ideological illusion. Imperialism has never been restrained by international law. On the contrary, what is called “international law” has always been a secondary product of imperialist relations, tolerated only insofar as it served monopoly interests and discarded whenever it ceased to do so. The present moment, marked by open treaty violations, contempt for institutions, and unapologetic coercion, does not signal a descent into barbarism. It signals the collapse of the ideological form through which barbarism was previously administered. Any serious discussion must begin with the MarxistPost too long.

Thousands of nurses go on strike in New York City
Almost 15,000 nurses walked off the job in New York City, demanding better working conditions, marking the largest nurses’ strike in the city’s history as contract negotiations failed to gain traction. Workers walked off the job early on Monday morning across three private hospital systems in the largest city in the US, Mount Sinai, Montefiore and NewYork-Presbyterian.

Minnesota and the Twin Cities sue the federal government to stop the immigration crackdown
Minnesota and its two largest cities sued the Trump administration Monday to try to stop an immigration enforcement surge that led to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal officer and evoked outrage and protests across the country. The state, joined by Minneapolis and St. Paul, said the Department of Homeland Security is violating the First Amendment and other constitutional protections. The lawsuit seeks a temporary restraining order to halt the enforcement action or limit the operation.

Peter Thiel makes $3m donation to fight California’s proposed billionaire tax
The ballot proposal, called 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, is still in the beginning stages of gathering the 900,000 signatures needed for it to go to voters in November. If voted into law, it would levy a one-time, 5% tax on anyone in the state worth more than $1bn and grant a five-year period for payment. Thiel would owe the state roughly $1.3bn based on his current net worth.

The Communist Party of Turkey on the bloodbath in Syria's Aleppo: "This is what you created, it's yours!"
"The imperialist program implemented in Syria through the interventions of the United States first and foremost, along with the United Kingdom, Israel, and Turkey, has brought the country to the brink of a new phase of destruction and catastrophe. The advance of jihadist forces, particularly HTS, has targeted Kurdish neighborhoods and civilian settlements in Aleppo, further deepening the humanitarian crisis unfolding across the country. We have repeatedly stated that it is neither possible nor intended that the jihadist HTS regime — utterly devoid of legitimacy — should establish real sovereignty over the country. Al Jolani, who was installed by imperialist powers in the aftermath of the counter-revolution, has no right to decide how any community living in Syria should live, nor to intervene in their lives or speak on their behalf. For this reason, HTS’s intervention in Kurdish neighborhoods in Aleppo is illegitimate and unacceptable. Nevertheless, those who hypocritically beat the drums of war while deliberately ignoring Jolani’s identity and the jihadist–collaborationist line he represents are also, indirectly, lending support to the imperialist trap into which Turkey is being gradually drawn.

The Iranian uprising is at a very crucial stage
According to informed sources, demonstrations have spread to 150 cities and 600 towns across all 31 provinces of Iran during the past twelve days, including the western provinces of Ilam, Kermanshah and Lorestan. Several towns, along with the city of Abadan, are reported to be no longer under government control and are now in the hands of the people. The protest that began on 27 December was triggered by the sharp decline in the national currency. This development made it harder for the government to address the concerns raised by citizens and protesters. In addition, the government announced the end of a subsidised exchange rate for importers, a decision that has already caused grocery prices to rise sharply. LPost too long.

America’s neglect of Puerto Rico’s education system is at a breaking point
Imagine teaching in a classroom where rain pours through the ceiling, books are outdated and you have to buy your own supplies because you’d have to wait at least two months to get it from the central office. This is not a dystopian movie, but instead the reality for communities in the United States’ seventh-largest public education system: Puerto Rico. What would normally be considered unfathomable in any of the 50 states is the reality for over 240,000 public school students throughout the archipelago. I worked for the U.S. Department of Education, and after four years working in Puerto Rico, visiting dozens of schools and meeting with hundreds of students and teachers, I sadly realized what many of the island’s educational leaders long told me — that the federal government doesn’t care about Puerto Rico’s education system. For too long, the conversation about the Puerto Rico education system’s struggles has ignored a fundamental truth: U.S. government policies have systematically discriminated against Puerto Rican students. This reality is not incidental — it is a result of deliberate choices that Congress has made that define Puerto Rico’s relationship with the United States.

A Palestinian Family Tale Made Epic in All That’s Left of You
Writer-director and actor Cherien Dabis’s All That’s Left of You is an epic for the ages that follows a single Palestinian family from their 1948 expulsion from what is now Israel, to living in a West Bank refugee camp in the 1970s, to the Intifada in 1988, all the way to 2022. In doing so, Dabis has given the much-maligned and vilified Palestinians a human face by telling their side of a story that has long been dominated by the Israeli narrative. Portraying Hanan, the female lead, Dabis convincingly ages over the film’s time span from a woman in her thirties to an elder in the twilight of her life. As the world-weary Hanan takes stock of the years, she reflects the hardships and enduring humanity of her besieged people. As Dabis reveals in this interview, the final scenPost too long.

Squid Game really happened in Sarajevo
In January 2025, Italian writer Ezio Gavazzeni reopened a horrific cold case by filing a complaint with the Milan public prosecutor’s office. It concerned wealthy individuals who went to Bosnia during the siege of Sarajevo and paid large amounts of money to be allowed to shoot at innocent civilians. Just for ‘fun’. This subject is not entirely novel. There were a few testimonies already in the 1990s, but they were never dug into seriously and were often considered unverified war rumours. But this ‘urban legend’ turned out to be true. Reckless, sadistic bourgeois – reminiscent of the masked oligarchs in the Korean TV series Squid Game – did indeed participate in this atrocious pastime. Gavazzeni has based his investigation on the work of Slovenian director Miran Zupanič, who authored the 2022 documentary Sarajevo Safari produced by Al Jazeera Balkans. Al Jazeera subsequently shut down its Balkans division, but the purpose the Qatari media outlet had in screening this film was to denounce the plight of Muslim Bosniaks. It is only due to this intervention from outside of Europe that this story has once again come under the spotlight. This horror, which speaks amply of the rotten heart of the European ruling elite from which these ‘tourists’ mostly came, could have easily passed quietly into obscurity, had it been left to that same elite.

Venezuela – Class struggle against imperialism and the myth of national independence
The attacks of the US army in Venezuela are an expression of imperialism, but how can we respond to them? Understandably, the reaction of many people is to rally for ‘national independence’. From a working class perspective and the perspective of international emancipation, the battle cry for ‘sovereignty’ is a dangerous myth. The situation in Venezuela is part of a global panorama of block confrontation and as international workers we have to find ways not to get crushed in the middle.

Iran: An Uprising Besieged from Within and Without
Starting on December 28, 2025, a new wave of protest broke out across Iran, triggered by economic distress and escalating to call for the toppling of the government. This is at least the fifth such movement in a decade, drawing on previous waves of labor unrest and feminist resistance. Yet within this uprising, the grassroots movement contends with reactionary monarchists, largely based outside Iran, who seek to win the backing of the United States and Israel to seize power. This comes in the midst of a tumultuous geopolitical situation. The Israeli government has intensified the bombing of Gaza and Lebanon and the seizure of land in Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria; it is preparing to construct a settlement that will cut the West Bank in half in order to make a Palestinian state impossible. The United States has just kidnapped the president of Venezuela and his wife in order to seize Venezuelan oil, signaling a readiness to go to great lengths to dominate people both inside and outside its borders. In the fall of 2024, protesters in Nepal and elsewhere demonstrated that it is still possible for social movements to overthrow governments. A successful revolution in Iran could set off a wave of change around the world. But if such a revolution were hijacked by reactionary forces, it could set movements for liberation back another generation or more. The stakes are high. We owe it to grassroots movements in Iran to learn about them and support them, both because they are confrontPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

CP of Venezuela, Joint Statement by Communist and Workers’ Parties: Down with the Imperialist boot in Venezuela and Latin America!
The operation included the illegal and violent arrest, transfer, and imprisonment in the USA of Nicolás Maduro and Cilia Flores, an unacceptable and reprehensible act that violates every concept of international law, effectively rendering it meaningless. Consequently, we demand his immediate release. This attack is not an isolated incident, but rather the culmination of years of sanctions, threats, blockades, and destabilization efforts. The real objective was never the defence of human rights, nor the supposed fight against drug trafficking, nor the rhetoric of “democracy”, all of which serve merely as pretexts. The true aim has been the direct imposition of the geopolitical and economic interests of US imperialism in Venezuela and the region, within the context of the struggle among capitalist powers for control over energy resources, strategic raw materials, trade routes, and markets.

What’s Next for Venezuela and What Can You Do About It?
In this article, I examine the motivations for Trump’s attack in the context of a new cold war with China, the immediate prospects for Venezuela, and the need for a strong anti-imperialist movement in the United States. The forceful removal of Maduro should be interpreted as the first step in implementing Trump’s National Security Strategy, which calls for a regroupment of military forces to the Western Hemisphere, at the same time pointing to a renewed push for domination in the region, as well as a recognition of its limits as world hegemon. A more aggressive policy toward Latin America will face resistance from within the United States and from the region’s social movements, labor, and left organizations.

Turkey’s Brazil-Style Lawfare Means Harder Authoritarianism
On December 17, a court struck down the protest bans imposed after the arrest of Istanbul mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu back in March. Weeks earlier, prosecutors had finalized an indictment meant to keep İmamoğlu, the leading opposition figure, jailed indefinitely. Together they show a system under strain, making parallel use of repression and legal tactics to entrench its control. Turkey is now a frontline case of lawfare: the weaponized use of the judiciary to political ends. If the jailing of Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva revealed the damage that lawfare can do to the democratic process, Turkey shows how far it can go in hardening authoritarian rule. Left unchecked, it will not remain an exception but set a precedent for attacks on democracy elsewhere. The Lula blueprint is now being reproduced against İmamoğlu, the center-left challenger to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in a harsher authoritarian setting. In today’s Turkey, lawfare has expanded beyond a way of managing the opposition into a means of recalibrating the state itself. İmamoğlu is the presidential nominee for the Republican People’s Party (CHP), which after the 2024 local elections overtook Erdoğan’s Justice and Development Party (AKP) for the first time in decades. Throughout 2025, national polls placed İmamoğlu ahead of Erdoğan, making his party one of the largest center-left forces across Europe and the Middle East. The severity of the shift from electoral competition to criminal prosecution is visible even outside the courtroom. Authorities have banned the display of İmamoğlu’s posters and the circulation of campaign materials, treating his visibility as a security risk.

Trump Brags About Imperialist War in Venezuela and the New “Monroe Doctrine”
We have to fight back. Already, working people across Venezuela are rising up against the United States’ imperialist offensive. Here in the United States, it is urgent that the working class fight against this neocolonialist offensive, and say, “not in our name.” Unions, social movements, and the Left must mobilize together against imperialism; but it must do so independent of Maduro’s government that has undermined, with authoritarianism and austerity, the capacity of the Venezuelan working class to resist the current imperialist offensive. This is evident in the thousands of political prisoners from the Left and working-class sectors in Venezuela who should be on the front lines in the fight against U.S. imperialism. Maduro has been responsible for negotiating with imperialist powers to ease sanctions, but always within the confines of economic subordination, while blocking the working class from building itself as an active class with real power.

In Iran, the turmoil continues: Steve Bishop member of the executive Committee for the Defence of the Iranian People’s Rights
Protesters have pointed out the bitter irony that while they are asked to “take a war formation” and endure austerity, the budget for ideological military wings has reportedly seen massive increases. One representative from Dehloran recently asked President Pezeshkian in parliament if he could “hear the crushing sound of the people’s footsteps.” The demands of protesters have not been confined to the issues of wages and the economy but have become increasingly political, demanding regime change, with protests echoing to chants of “death to the dictator,” aimed at Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The regime’s response has been the familiar mix of threats and force. Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei has warned of harsh punishments for “hoarding foreign currency,” while police have fired tear gas to disperse the biggest crowds seen since the protests following the death in custody of Mahsa Amini in September 2022. Hundreds of people were killed, more than 20,000 arrested, and several executed in connection with those demonstrations. The situation in Iran is being watched closely by both Israel and the United States, as the threat of further action against the regime from both looms. US President Donald Trump has recently threatened military action if Iran rebuilds its nuclear or missile programmes, warning he will “knock the hell out of them.” For the Iranian people 2026 sees yet more uncertainty, arising from the internal pressures of a collapsing economy and the external pressures of both international sanctions and the threat of further military intervention.

Likewise, their everyday demands about the rising cost of basic necessities have shifted into political demands, reflected in slogans such as “Down with the regime,” “Out, out, dictators,” “Women, life, freedom,” and many others.

A new California law gives the state more power over workplaces. Trump is suing to block it
A federal judge on Dec. 26 granted the NLRB’s request for a preliminary injunction to keep the law from taking effect, meaning California cannot implement most of its provisions. In addition, the NLRB now has a quorum after the Senate confirmed two of President Trump’s nominees to the board.

(Granma )Six days that shook the nation
That cold morning, when some 2,000 delegates representing all sectors of society filled the Karl Marx Theater, marked a turning point in the history of the Revolution. It is said that many of them were wearing suits and ties for the first time, and that, for this reason, there were those who made jokes before the curtains rose and the First Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) began. Sixteen years after the triumph over tyranny, and ten years after the formation of the first Central Committee, the grand party event began with an extensive report presented by Fidel, with a historical analysis of the Revolution, in which it was clear that the generation that had finally realized the dream of a free homeland was the heir and continuator of a legacy of more than a century of struggle. "Cuba was Spain's last colony in Latin America, and today it is the first socialist country in this hemisphere," the Commander-in-Chief began proudly, and after a thorough recounting of the wars for independence and the long road traveled, he commented that "when the United States realized that the Revolution would not retreat or bow to its pressure, it began a series of economic aggressions, while recruiting mercenaries and training them for acts of sabotage and military actions."

Labour must not reverse Brexit
A DANGEROUS tendency is emerging in the labour movement to reopen the Brexit question. Several government figures have started to criticise the impact on the economy of Britain leaving the European Union. Health Secretary Wes Streeting, the government’s leading Blairite, has raised the possibility of Britain re-entering the EU’s customs union, a move which would subordinate trade policy to Brussels and subject much economic activity to EU regulations. TUC general secretary Paul Nowak spoke in similar terms shortly before Christmas. So far, Keir Starmer has not embraced the customs union proposal. However, the arguments he advances are purely pragmatic – that rejoining would mean Britain having to renounce the trade deals signed in its own right, most notably with the USA. However, that is a thin argument since the Trump administration has either not ratified, not Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Trump administration reportedly freezes all childcare payments to all states
Originally, O’Neill and Adams’s message was interpreted as an announcement that HHS would stop childcare funding in Minnesota, not all 50 states. However, the Associated Press reported late on Wednesday that the freeze would apply to every state, and that all states would need to provide more documentation about their childcare programs before receiving federal money. The department did not immediately reply to a Guardian request for comment to clarify the nature of the freeze, but HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told ABC News: “It’s the onus of the state to make sure that these funds, these federal dollars, taxpayer dollars, are being used for legitimate purposes.”

Statement of the Tudeh Party of Iran: Widespread popular protests are a renewed beginning for challenging religious–capitalist despotism and for liberating the homeland from deprivation, poverty, corruption, and the anti-people rule of the Islamic Republic!
Dear compatriots,
The political system ruling our homeland—namely the absolute guardianship of Ali Khamenei—is irreformable. Relying on extensive military and security structures, this government has openly and violently violated the people’s rights and authority to determine their own destiny. Without moving beyond this regime of religious despotism and big-capital rule, there can be no hope for improving current conditions, easing economic pressures, reducing poverty and deprivation, resolving electricity and water shortages, or ending the violent and bloody wave of repression against freedoms and democratic rights. This dictatorship has not only dragged Iran and its society to the brink of collapse and destruction, but has also exposed the country to the serious and repeated danger of foreign intervention and the replacement of the current despotism with another decayed form of tyranny—one dominated by servants of U.S. imperialism and the genocidal Israeli government. The experience of popular protests over the past decade—especially the January 2018 protests, the November 2019 protests, and the great “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising in autumn 2022—demonstrates that without efforts to organize a general and nationwide strike and halt the daily functioning of the Islamic Republic, it is impossible to create the objective and effective conditions for moving beyond it.

Epstein and Leviathan: How the Financier Opened Doors to Netanyahu and Ehud Barak Amid Israel's Offshore Gas Fight
On December 17, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a $35 billion deal to sell natural gas to Egypt in what officials describe as the largest energy export agreement in Israel’s history. The natural gas will be produced from Leviathan, a massive field west of Haifa. “On this day,” Netanyahu wrote in a statement that day, the third day of Hanukkah, “we’ve brought another jug of oil to the nation of Israel. But this time, the flame will burn not just for eight days, but for decades to come.” The gas export permit for Egypt came after months of delays and behind-the-scenes disputes between Tel Aviv, Cairo, and Washington. The decision is expected to reinforce the Camp David peace framework between Egypt and Israel—an arrangement strained by the Gaza genocide—while cementing Israel’s emergence as a major natural gas supplier in the eastern Mediterranean and beyond.

Spontaneous strikes at Arcelor Dunkirk and steel worker riots in Genoa – And in the UK?
We translated this article by comrades from France, as we think that it has international relevance. The global steel industry is at the centre of trade wars and, related to this, the process of militarisation. With the downturn of the automobile industry we see a global overproduction of steel. The US and the EU react by putting up tariffs, which squeezes the steel industry in the UK. In reaction to the blackmail from steel companies, the Labour government promises further subsidies with their £2.5 billion ‘steel fund’. In times of general preparation for larger wars, steel production becomes a national security asset. When the Chinese steel manufacturer Jingye announced the closure of the blast furnaces at the Scunthorpe site in April 2025, the UK government stepped in and semi-nationalised the plant. As you can read in the article below, nationalisation has little to offer for the workers on the ground. Given this global picture it is not a coincidence that things are kicking off elsewhere.

A look at how Trump-era work requirements could impact people who receive public benefits
Previously, adults older than 54, as well as parents with children under age 18, at home were exempted from SNAP’s 80-hours monthly work requirement. Now, adults up to age 64 and parents of children between the age of 14 and 17 have to prove they’re working, volunteering or job training if they are on SNAP for more than three months. … HUD in July also proposed a rule change that would allow public housing authorities across the country to institute work requirements, as well as time limits. In a leaked draft of that rule change, HUD spells out how housing authorities can choose to opt in and voluntarily implement work requirements of up to 40 hours a week for people getting rental assistance, including adult tenants in public housing and Section 8 voucher-holders.

Epstein and the Clintons: As Hillary Launched Presidential Campaign, Epstein Feared Exposure
Since Jeffrey Epstein’s second arrest in 2019, the Clintons have spent considerable effort distancing themselves from the enigmatic financier, and they are currently fending off House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, who threatened contempt proceedings after the political power couple refused to testify this week regarding their relationship to Epstein. Epstein first came into public view after accompanying former President Bill Clinton on a 2002 tour of Africa, aboard Epstein’s infamous Boeing 727 plane, later dubbed “Lolita Express.” Abundant photos from that Africa trip—with Kevin Spacey and Chris Tucker—have just been released by the Justice Department. Through a spokesperson, Bill Clinton has acknowledged traveling on Epstein’s jet during a humanitarian tour of Africa in 2002, but has said he knew nothing of Epstein’s crimes, never visited Epstein’s properties, and ended contact in 2005. In a Justice Department interview in July 2025, Ghislaine Maxwell downplayed Epstein’s connection to the former president, telling Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, “President Clinton was my friend, not Epstein’s friend.” Yet as Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign ramped up, it was Epstein looking to duck the Clintons. Epstein was facing increasingly dire legal consequences in South Florida, stemming from his years-long sexual exploitation of young women and girls. The glare of a presidential campaign risked unraveling what Epstein and his friend and ally Ghislaine Maxwell had so effectively constructed over the years, as they were increasingly associated with the spectacle of “Clintonworld.” In May 2007, the news media drove a scandal around the relationship between Hillary Clinton and Vinod Gupta, an Indian technology executive accused of corrupt dealings with the Clintons related to inflated consulting fees and travel on his company’s jet. In a May 26 email, four months before signing his “sweetheart deal” to avoid federal sex trafficking charges, Epstein predicted to Maxwell that Clinton’s opponents would “attack her ‘friends’ in any way they can,” and he warned her that Clinton’s presidential run could bring unwanted attention to Maxwell. He wrote to Maxwell, “you can see the papers are starting on hillary ‘friends’ Vin gupta,” he wrote, adding, “I think you are better off, not having your name associated.”

The fall of the USSR was a tragedy for humanity, but not the end of history
On 26 December 1991, when the red flag was lowered from the Kremlin for the last time, the world did not merely witness the dissolution of a state. It witnessed the victory of counterrevolution—the temporary triumph of capitalism over the most advanced historical attempt to abolish exploitation and class rule. The fall of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was not the end of an experiment that had “failed,” as bourgeois ideology insists. It was one of the greatest tragedies in human history precisely because it interrupted a process that had transformed the lives of hundreds of millions and reshaped the global balance of class forces. For most of the twentieth century, the USSR stood as living proof that capitalism was neither eternal nor inevitable. It abolished unemployment, guaranteed universal education and healthcare, eliminated illiteracy, industrialized vast regions in record time, defeated fascism at a staggering human cost, and inspired revolutionary movements across every continent. Its existence alone constrained imperialism, strengthened workers’ struggles worldwide, and gave material meaning to the idea that another social system was possible. The counterrevolution of 1991 therefore marked far more than a geopolitical realignment. It signaled the restoration of capitalist power, the privatization of social wealth created by generations of workers, and the descent of millions into poverty, insecurity, and social degradation. Life expectancy collapsed, inequality exploded, and the promise of socialist modernity was replaced by oligarchic plunder. The tragedy was real, measurable, and lived. Yet to understand 1991, one must resist the convenient fiction that everything unraveled suddenly in the late 1980s. The counterrevolution was not an accident, nor merely the result of external pressure from imperialism. It was the outcome of a long process of ideological retreat and structural erosion within socialism itself.

PFLP Expresses its Full Solidarity With the Heroes of “Palestine Action” on Hunger Strike, Holds the British Regime Responsible for Their Lives
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine expresses its complete and unlimited solidarity with the heroes of the “Palestine Action” movement who are on hunger strike in British prisons, and whose health condition has entered the stage of extreme danger. As a result of their insistence on confronting the colonial system of oppression with empty hearts, in defense of Palestinian rights and in rejection of the British government’s complicity in the war of extermination. The Front holds the British Labor Party government fully responsible for the lives of the strikers, considering that the policy of deliberate medical negligence practiced by the British authorities against these activists, leaving them to face slow death, is a carbon copy of what the criminal Zionist occupation practices against our heroic prisoners, which reaffirms that the killer and the colonizer are one, and the repressive policy towards supporters of freedom is indivisible. The arbitrary arrest without trial that the “Palestine Action” activists are subjected to, and the classification of their movement as a “terrorist” organization, is a moral and legal decline that reflects the Starmer government’s complete dependence on the dictates of the influential Zionist lobby.

Keir Starmer’s Government Is Leaving the Hunger Strikers to Die
By the standards of even the most forgiving and lenient Santa, it can’t be said that Keir Starmer’s government has been good this year. We’ve seen a manifesto-breaching budget that was leaked ahead of time, embarrassing U-turns on scrapping the two-child benefit cap, welfare reform and cutting pensioners’ winter fuel payments, and bursts of vicious briefing and leadership plot speculation amid Labour’s increasingly dire polling figures. Then there were the Tommy Robinson-approved plans for asylum seekers, support for Israeli football hooligans’ right to rampage through Birmingham and yet more cabinet cowardice over Israel’s continuous campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza. And if this wasn’t enough to warrant a lump of coal in the government’s stocking on Christmas morning, 2025 also saw Starmer’s weaponisation of anti-terror law in the form of the proscription of Palestine Action, ie protecting UK sites of Israel’s largest arms manufacturer while nanas in their 80s get carried off by cops. With parliament’s Christmas hiatus beckoning, there’s one shameful chapter left wide open: the six hunger-striking prisoners, who become more likely to sustain irreversible physical damage or die with every hour of government inaction.

In Wallmapu, Chile, the situation of Mapuche youths Lientur Millacheo and Jaime Huenchuñir—the first individuals in Chile to be prosecuted under the country’s newly revised Anti-Terrorism Law—has worsened, according to their spokeswomen. Both young men are currently held in the Temuco Penitentiary, where their families report that they have been subjected to torture and what they describe as direct political persecution by the Chilean State. We spoke with spokeswomen Alen Huenuche and Millaray Huenchuñir, as well as attorney Christian Arancibia, who is supporting the families. Millacheo and Huenchuñir remain in pretrial detention while prosecutors investigate their case under the new anti-terrorism framework—and could be legally held without trial for up to five years.

Watchdog Celebrates Victory Over Instacart Pricing Scheme—But Says Broader Corporate Abuse Remains
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took notice of the report, saying it was “disturbed” by the findings, and launched an investigation on Thursday, which caused the company’s stock price to plummet by about 7%. It also attracted attention from members of Congress, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who demanded government action on what he called “shakedown pricing.” Instacart agreed that same day to pay the FTC $60 million in a settlement for what the commission said was “a variety of deceptive tactics that misled consumers and caused them to pay more in fees.”

US pauses offshore wind projects over security concerns
In a statement, the Department of the Interior said it was pausing five large-sale projects to look into how windmills could interfere with radar and create other risks to east coast cities. President Donald Trump has long opposed wind energy, saying it is unreliable and drives up costs, and attempted to stop all projects when he returned to office. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has said wind farms have no future in the US energy grid.

Democratic-led states sue to block US consumer watchdog's defunding under Trump
Last month, the CFPB under Vought's leadership said it could not request more money from the Fed because the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 requires that funding come from the central bank's "combined earnings." Since the Fed had been operating at a loss since 2022, the Trump administration said no earnings were available. The CFPB in a November 10 court filing said it expected its funds would run out in early 2026.

Canada’s Assisted Dying Program Is Bad for the Vulnerable
In 2016, Canada passed landmark legislation to legalize what it euphemizes as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) — physician-assisted suicide, or euthanasia by doctor. At the time, it was hailed as a progressive victory allowing Canada to join the ranks of liberal scions such as Belgium and the Netherlands, which had legalized such practices in 2002 and 2001, respectively. But the unfolding of the MAiD program since its inception, coupled with recent and upcoming legal changes in Canada, have done more to reveal the moral poverty of the neoliberal project and its attendant conception of autonomy than to buttress the country’s progressive credentials. The history of the movement for MAiD — and the larger discussion of end-of-life issues in biomedical ethics — is usually understood as a cultural victory over traditional prejudices. This is due in no small part to the fact that the most strident opponents of MAiD in the United States are conservative evangelical Christians. Those working to legalize MAiD have tended to ally themselves with other activists working on causes thought of as progressive, such as efforts to legalize marijuana, expand abortion access, and so on. In the United States, such efforts resulted in a broad-based coalition of voters approving a ballot measure legalizing physician-assisted suicide for terminally ill patients in Oregon in 1994. (Following legal challenges, the law took effect in 1997.) Other states followed suit not long after; it is now legal in eleven states as well as Washington, DC. But it would be too hasty to conclude that all of the changes in end-of-life law in the Western world seen in recent decades are unambiguous victories for individual liberty. Analyzing the political-economic context in which Canada has full-throatedly embraced its relatively new MAiD program brings serious moral concerns to light.

Trump administration backs continued Dakota Access pipeline operations
In the final report issued Friday, the administration said it would allow the pipeline to continue running — though it would add some additional stipulations. In particular, Dakota Access will have to develop a plan for alternative drinking water supplies for nearby communities in the case of an oil spill. It will also have to install better leak detection systems as new technology becomes available and conduct water sampling twice per year.

The Iraqi Left at a Crossroads: Renewal, Unity, and the Recovery of Mass Action
The Left in the Age of the Digital Revolution
In the context of the digital revolution, this need becomes even more urgent. We live in a time when ideas are measured by reach, impact, interaction, and the ability to turn into collective action. These are criteria understood by younger generations and practiced daily in digital space and on the ground. Young manual and intellectual workers do not receive politics through long speeches or heavy theoretical texts, but through platforms, short videos, open discussions, horizontal and flexible forms of organization, and collective leadership. Political, administrative, organizational sciences, development, and digital space must be treated as real arenas of class struggle and used effectively, as this is a basic condition for building a contemporary left capable of transforming social anger into organized force. In this sense, leftist ideas become a living analytical tool at the heart of the digital revolution, continuously evolving rather than frozen in timeless texts. Young women and men shift from being a target audience to becoming essential actors in political, intellectual, and organizational production. When the left succeeds in linking the justice of its social project with scientific development, as Marx and Engels once did, but now with digital tools, it can represent social change as a clear and convincing alternative, move from fragmentation to organized collective action, break the hegemony of political capitalism, and build a new emancipatory horizon.

Pentagon says it fails eighth audit, targets 2028 to pass
For the eighth year in a row, the Pentagon has failed an annual audit, the Department of Defense said on Friday, continuing a pattern of financial accountability problems that have drawn bipartisan criticism and emerged as a campaign issue. The Pentagon's first audit was conducted in 2018 and it consistently failed, reflecting system and accounting problems across its vast bureaucracy that have persisted.

‘An Absolute Joke’: Trump DOJ Partially Releases Epstein Files, Many Heavily Redacted
The DOJ uploaded the files—which can be viewed here(https://www.justice.gov/epstein/doj-disclosures) in the section titled “Epstein Files Transparency Act”—to its website on Friday. Earlier in the day, Deputy US Attorney General Todd Blanche said that the agency would not release all the Epstein files on Friday, as required by the transparency law signed last month by President Donald Trump. Friday’s release includes declassified files, many of them heavily redacted and some of which were already publicly available via court filings, records requests, and media reporting. Files include flight logs and masseuse lists. One document contains nothing but 100 fully redacted pages.

Communist Party of Venezuela condemns imperialist offensive and defends national sovereignty
The recent statements by US President Donald Trump fully confirm the warnings made by the Communist Party of Venezuela (PCV): Washington’s aggression against Venezuela and the Caribbean is not a response to a supposed fight against drug trafficking or the defense of democracy, but rather part of an imperialist offensive of recolonization aimed at appropriating our nation’s natural resources, territories, and strategic assets. The order for a “total and complete blockade” of illegally sanctioned oil tankers constitutes an open and flagrant violation of international law, deliberately aggravates the already deep political, economic, and social crisis suffered by the Venezuelan people, and reaffirms the criminal nature of unilateral coercive measures, which have played a leading role in the deterioration of the living conditions of working people. At the same time, these external aggressions have been used by Nicolás Maduro’s ruling elite as an excuse to impose anti-worker and anti-popular policies, placing the burden of the crisis on the majority.

Modest gains dressed up as a historic win for workers
THE TUC has been relentlessly upbeat about the Employment Rights Bill — now finally promulgated after weeks of filibustering by peers — saying that it marks a historic day for working people. From April next year millions of workers will get sick pay from day one of their employment. However, a worker starting a new job on the first of April will be without protection from unfair dismissal for six months, after the government gave in to pressure from employers and capital, given force by that concentration of ruling-class power that is the House of Lords. The way in which the TUC frames its position in the never-ending battle to resist the power of capital gives us an insight into the way in which the unavoidable contradiction between workers and the employers is managed in Britain’s peculiar capitalist society. The TUC reminds us that one in 10 workers are stuck in insecure work, including one million on zero-hours contracts. And it is true that the banning of exploitative zero-hours contracts means many of these workers can now expect greater job security with an automatic right to a new guaranteed hours contracts.

Farmworker fury – Inquiries about organic agriculture – Ch.5 The Collective Cooperative
In 2020, we read Class Power on Zero Hours by the AngryWorkers. It left us buzzing. After some time of not knowing what to do with our inspiration, we decided to write this book about our work experiences. Leftists often either romanticize (organic) agriculture, or they want it to be fully automated and industrialised. Beyond capitalism, we will have to learn to work the land in a truly sustainable way. Therefore, we think it’s important to have a workers-based analysis of (organic) agriculture. We are writing this book to contribute to such an analysis and we are hoping to receive feedback, comments and critiques from fellow workers and comrades.

Top Rail Unions Denounce Union Pacific-Norfolk Southern Megamerger as ‘De Facto Monopoly’
The US Surface Transportation Board (STB) is expected to receive a formal proposal from the two companies on Friday. President Donald Trump said in September that the deal “sounds good” to him. If approved, it would allow the two firms to merge into the largest railroad company in US history, controlling more than 50,000 miles of track across 43 states. According to the Associated Press, such a railroad would likely control over 40% of the nation’s freight.
