@pawelwargan Of course US imperialism shares the blame for social conditions in Venezuela, but spare us with your praise for "the Bolivarian Revolution". Chavismo was a bourgeois fraud from the outset, protecting the capitalist class while enacting mild social reforms. Genuine socialism now.

His major achievement was substantiating the mass working class base of the Bolsheviks. They came to power not through a coup, but as the result of a massive revolutionary offensive - Alexander Rabinowitch (1934-2026), historian of the October Revolution

Our firm has had many clients in Prairieland. The place is a hellhole where no human should ever be detained.

[Eric Lee @EricLeeAtty]

The decades long sentences for Prairieland protestors by a judge whose admitted aim is to chill anti-ICE speech should shock everyone.

Jan 6 insurrectionists in gvmt. SCOTUS says Trump immune. 80k noncitz in internment camps. "Left" Dems silent on P-land crackdown. Dangerous!

@WillforUAWpres Good work! Greetings from the Philippines.

[Andy Niklaus @ANiklaus4]

Gestern, auf dem Boden der #UAW-Verfassungskonferenz in #Detroit, hatte ich die Ehre, als Kandidatin für die Präsidentschaft der UAW International nominiert zu werden. Ich möchte den beiden Delegierten danken, die aufgestanden sind, um mich zu nominieren.

Ich möchte auch jedem Delegierten danken, der versprochen hat, mich zu nominieren, aber unter der Regelung, die Nominierungen auf zwei beschränkt, die Gelegenheit dazu verweigert wurde. Und ich möchte jedem Arbeiter danken, der diese Nominierung möglich gemacht hat – jedem Automobilarbeiter, Teilearbeiter, akademischen Arbeiter, Gesundheitsarbeiter, Casinoarbeiter und Rentner, der diese Kampagne geteilt und dazu beigetragen hat.

Yesterday, on the floor of the UAW Constitutional Convention in Detroit, I was honored to be nominated as a candidate for UAW International President. I want to thank the two delegates who rose to nominate me. I also want to thank every delegate who pledged to nominate me but was denied the chance under the rule limiting nominations to two.

And I want to thank every worker who made this nomination possible — every autoworker, parts worker, academic worker, healthcare worker, casino worker and retiree who shared this campaign and contributed to it.

@rosendo_joe Lula just said, "I was never a leftist". Delcy Rodriguez is overseeing joint US-Venezuelan extrajudicial killings. The "pink tide" was a bourgeois fraud from the outset. The way forward is the independent mobilization of the working class on a program of int'l socialism. #WSWS

This is my daughter Mirna after she was injured and her collarbone was broken during the bombing.

She was discharged from the hospital, but her recovery wasn't complete. This type of fracture isn't put in a cast and depends entirely on proper nutrition and vitamins for the bones to heal correctly.

But we are living through displacement and siege, and we are unable to provide what a child who is suffering and trying to recover needs.

We need $260 to secure painkillers, supplements, and basic needs for Mirna during her treatment period.

Look into her eyes... a child who asks only for her pain to heal and for a part of her childhood to return. 💔
Any contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference in her recovery. 🙏

He is running openly as a socialist, calling for the abolition of the bureaucracy, denouncing the subordination of the unions to the Democratic Party, and advancing the international unity of the working class against imperialist war. https://t.co/3wp70phDI5

Israel killed every single child in the picture. Don't let this be normal. Raise your voice for innocent children of Lebanon and Gaza.

[Daniella Modos - Cutter -SEN @DmodosCutter]

⭕️ Raghad Hussein Ashour was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City's Al-Rimal neighborhood while returning home from her final secondary school examination.

She was her mother's only child and has now joined her father, who was killed earlier during Israel's genocidal war on the strip.
