No serious understanding of 20th-century cultural life is possible without considering the impact of the socialist movement and its decades-long struggle to raise the thinking and activity of the working class, culminating in the 1917 Revolution

On Sunday, the World Socialist Web Site is sponsoring an international webinar to outline a strategy and program to stop the brutal imperialist onslaught against Iran. The aim of this discussion is to place this event in its appropriate historical, political and social context.

Chaplin took a social type reviled by official bourgeois society—the vagrant, the unemployed man, the person without property—and turned him into the most beloved character in the world - Charlie Chaplin’s 'The Gold Rush': A century after its release

https://t.co/GmxtUrncvO Chaplin’s genius lay in showing that laughter itself could be an act of defiance. To laugh in the face of the inhumanity of capitalism, not to downplay it, but to show the absurdity of the social order, and to imagine something better.

Anyone who is inclined to blame the American working class for Trump's assault on immigrants, read this interview with youth baseball coach Youman Wilder, who fended off ICE agents accosting his players earlier this month in New York City.

Just read the whole damn thing: 🧵 1/5

Chicago teachers, parents and youth speak out in defense of public education, as the Chicago Teachers Union and the city’s Democratic Party establishment try to prevent a strike by 28,000 educators, which would be a catalyst for a nationwide fight against Trump’s savage cuts.

[Kristina Betinis @KristinaBetinis]

Chicago teachers can & must spearhead a counteroffensive to defend public education and democratic rights nationally. But this requires educators seize the initiative & work to mobilize the full strength of the working class.

"No one deserves to have due process taken away... What is a citizen if they can dictate who's a citizen? If they can dictate that someone isn't a permanent resident just by their ideas, then they can dictate that you and I aren't citizens just by our ideas."

Speakers from the Socialist Equality Party address the Detroit rally, condemning the collaboration of the unions and the Democratic party with Trump.

The speakers are Detroit teacher Phyllis Steele & SEP National Committee members @jkishore, @jerrywhiteSEP & @Andre__Damon

[Eric Lee @EricLeeAtty]

I was on CNN this morning denouncing feckless Democratic Party for collaborating with Trump. If the gvmt can disappear students for speech & send them 1,000 miles away to detention, that's the end of democracy. We appeal to the American ppl to stand up now before it is too late!

Stop the attack on Momodou Taal! https://t.co/KR1fPAag1t

Attorney for @MomodouTaal , @EricLeeAtty, outside the courtroom: "If democracy is going to be defended, it is not going to come from the Democratic Party. It is going to come from you and from the working people of this country."

[Jerry White @jerrywhiteSEP]

As teachers across the country demand a fight against Trump’s war on public education, the president of the American Federation of Teachers flew to Chicago to prevent a strike by 25,000 educators facing massive budget cuts in the nation’s third largest school district. Asked why the AFT and NEA were not calling a strike of all 4.6 million of their members, Weingarten, a leading DNC member, said, “We’re fighting in the courts…we’re fighting in Congress.” Rank-and-file educators must take this fight into their own hands. https://t.co/hrQAVDa8w0

Sanders has no interest in the democratic rights of students and workers. His main concern is assisting the Democratic Party wage war. See our reporting below. 👇

“Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” says Vance in defense of DOGE.

Ten years ago that answer on a Constitutional Law 101 exam would have received an "F" in any accredited US law school.

To organize a fightback it is necessary to understand that the attack on #immigrants is the spearhead of an assault on the whole working class.

Lacking the urgency and spontaneity of Murnau’s film—and of life itself—Eggers’s #Nosferatu instead imposes on his audience an unconvincing misanthropy.

Musk's use of his wealth to finance fascist leaders and their parties testifies to the relevance of the demand raised by Trotsky in the founding program of the Fourth International for the "expropriation of separate groups of capitalists." Billionaires are toxic to democracy.

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

"We are living in very serious times." Speaking in Sydney on December 14, I sought to explain the relationship between the objective crisis of world capitalism, the revolutionary potential of the global working class, and the critical historical role of the Trotskyist movement.

[Frank Anderson @FrankWSWS]

Educators, parents, and students gave moving testimonies of the vital role that public education plays in the lives of the working class and the social hatred of the parasitic layer typified by the #Acero executives and board members.
