To meaningfully tackle the crimes of Israel, we need to go straight to the source of the problem by working beyond rightful condemnation of what Israel DOES and direct our fight to what Israel IS. This means dismantling Zionism altogether & full support of Palestinian resistance.

[Karl Marx @marxhaunting]

The number of capitalists having been diminished, their competition with respect to the workers scarcely exists any longer; and the number of workers having been increased, their competition among themselves has become all the more intense, unnatural, and violent.

This week marks the 70th anniversary of the historic anti-colonial 1955 Bandung Conference, when 29 nations from Asia and Africa gathered in Indonesia.

“They all gathered together because they understood their unity was very important,” says @vijayprashad.

Happy Birthday V.I. Lenin.

To quote Salt-N-Pepa:

“What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man (Gotta say it again now)
What a man, what a man, what a man
What a mighty good man (He's a mighty mighty good man)”

[Communist Party USA @communistsusa]

Happy Birthday V.I. Lenin! Fighter for for the working class and oppressed nations, architect and builder of socialism, champion of women's rights, leader of the world revolution. Your legacy lives on not only in the defense of Marxist basics, but in its creative application, which you excelled in demonstrating time after time. Today we celebrate by reaffirming our commitment to working-class power and socialist internationalism a combination that when seized hold of by our class, cannot be beat!

In late Ottoman Palestine, before the rise of Zionism, Jews, Christians & Muslims celebrated each other's holidays together, including Passover & Easter. There is hope for a better future, one in which all of Palestine's communities have equal rights. https://t.co/gm3jCCUfst

Those who tried to sell Trump as “anti-war” will now need to explain not only his war in Palestine, his war in Yemen, his flirting with war in Iran, and his belligerent approach to China, but also his war on the working class, his war on innocent migrants, his war on students, his war on equality, his war on human rights, his war on international law & institutions, his war on the social safety net, and his war on education. Trump’s logo was never the peace sign. It is, and has always been the dollar sign and the gun, the marks of oligarchy & violent oppression. Yes, this is the path of fascism.

He was right about everything!

Sing a song for Paul Robeson today.

[Communist Party USA @communistsusa]

Today we celebrate the birthday of Paul Robeson, the great forerunner: the actor, orator, singer, polyglot, and athlete, the person who excelled at everything he set his mind to. And needless to say this included his politics and activism that was dedicated to liberation of the working class and oppressed peoples of the world. Paul Robeson, the world citizens's life remains our North Star and inspiration. As we celebrate and remember today, let us not forget to mention his unshakeable belief in the socialist future and though he was hounded to hell and back for it, he never renounced his faith in the working class and its historic mission. Paul Robeson presente!

BREAKING: Pro-Palestine Student Activist Momodou Taal Leaves U.S. Amid Deportation Threats

Momodou Taal, a British Gambian pro-Palestine activist and former PhD student at Cornell University, announces that he has left the United States, following ongoing threats of deportation. Taal faced escalating pressure from the U.S. government after filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging two executive orders that targeted pro-Palestinian and anti-genocide activism.

In a statement shared on social media, Taal expresses his gratitude to those who have supported him throughout this ordeal. He recounts how the Trump administration attempted to prevent his day in court, sending ICE agents to his home and revoking his visa. Despite a court denial of his first motion, Taal had hoped a second briefing would allow him to remain in the country while the lawsuit proceeded. Taal writes, however, that he has lost faith in the U.S. legal system’s ability to guarantee his safety and freedom, explaining, “I have lost faith I could walk the streets without being abducted.”

He said the U.S. government has shown a disregard for both the judiciary and the rule of law and criticized the silence of those who have not spoken out against the ongoing genocide in Palestine: “For every person that has remained silent, just know that you are not safe either. Is the imprisonment of those who speak out against a genocide a reflection of your values? Is this the kind of nation you want to live in?”

He also writes, “The repression of Palestinian solidarity is now being used to wage a wholesale attack on any form of expression that challenges oppressive and exploitative relations in the U.S.”

Reaffirming his commitment to a liberated Palestine, and urging continued support, he said: “Do not seek to secure your personal safety by undermining the Palestinian right of resistance.”

“A world where genocidal violence can be waged with impunity is a world built on hatred and cowardice. Such a world will, over time, destroy itself entirely. The only future, the only world, we can accept is one that will have a liberated and reconstructed Gaza at its heart.”

He concludes his message expressing confidence in the eventual liberation of Palestine and with a reminder of the larger struggle and the long-term fight for justice, writing, “As sad as I feel right now, I do not despair. I have never been more confident and sure that we will win and that Palestine will be free within our lifetime. History will absolve us.”

I've never felt more hurt and pain as I do now. I feel the need to cry so badly.

What does it mean to celebrate Eid amid the most horrifying conditions, with bombs going off all around? How come I can't give my family a peaceful, happy hug? Being unable to visit my relatives and extended family is such a painful experience!

Why should I report about my people's genocide at Eid? I am now going to the graves of my aunt and friend's relatives instead of sharing them the joy. 

How? How can I be denied the opportunity to rejoice and have no resources to enjoy a holiday that I look forward to all year?

How can Muslims condone our Eid mass murder? Why and how? I am deeply desolated.

Ya Rab, You're our only helper. Only you.
