Let Elon Musk becoming a trillionare be your trillionth reason to join the movement for a socialist future for the people, not the ultra-rich.
How is it that someone is allowed to hoard a trillion dollars in personal wealth, while the conditions for hundreds of millions of people around the world worsen everyday?
Because the capitalist system prioritizes accumulating wealth for a small handful of already wealthy individuals and corporations – not the needs of the people and the planet.

“Would you ask Trump that question?” Uff. Brilliant responses to a question that validates the level of lawlessness and violence that the US has imposed on other sovereign nations. The U.S. has no moral authority to dictate or control what happens in other nations states, specially when it is incapable of tending to the needs of the majority of people in the U.S.
Cuba President: “They [US government] have no moral not even to say that they are concerned about the situation of the Cuban people and that the Cuban government has taken Cuba to this situation when they have all the responsibility on their shoulders.”
MSNBC Reporter: "Would you be willing to step down to save the people of Cuba?"
Cuba President: "Is that question from you or is it coming from the US State Department?"
The US government continues to strangle Cuba with its criminal blockade that has been in place for decades. The blockade cuts off access to food, medicine and other necessities. The audacity for them to pretend they care about the Cuban people when they are inflicting harm.
Israel is displacing millions in Lebanon, while continuing a genocide in Gaza, while occupying the West Bank, while invading Syria, while bombing Iran. And somehow I’m supposed to believe that Iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism.
Stop the bombings — No U.S. war on Venezuela! Money for people’s needs, not the war machine!

The attack on Venezuela is one of the most routine and unvarnished expressions of US imperialism. And as always, this material violence is preceded by narrative management designed to undermine Venezuela's sovereignty. Solidarity with the steadfast people of Venezuela.
To say Assata taught us is to say, she will forever live in us. She will live as a fighter for black liberation. To say Assata taught us is to say, her life is a profound testament to the enduring struggle for Black liberation and international solidarity.
To say Assata taught us is to remember that Cuba never folded. Cuba kept her safe and free. It became her home and her sanctuary.
Assata, the black woman revolutionary, the mother who loved her people so and sacrificed. Her life gave me hope when I thought children didn’t have a place in a fucked up world- Assata taught me, our children could be and must be the continuation of our struggles - until and beyond victory. (Read her autobiography!) As I stand in front of the UN today to say “Free Palestine!” And demand a stop to the carnage and the starvation of children, I honor your strength and the vision of a world free from oppression and exploitation.
Thank you for teaching us that we are not meant to be slaves- what the capitalist racist system has told us. But that we are meant to fight for our human dignity, and that it is our duty to fight for our collective freedom. Sister- comrade Assata, you are a reminder that the struggle for a just world is long, but with perseverance and unity, it is a struggle we are duty-bound to win.
Rest in power dear sister comrade, onward till liberation.
no hyperbole i just do not think there is ever a moment when the united states and israel should ever be thought of or spoken about in a way that suggests they are separate entities. they are one-in-the-same. america is israel. and israel is america. this should be clear by now.
PSL STATEMENT:
Having spent the past 20 months committing a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, while invading & bombing both Lebanon & Syria, & carrying out airstrikes against Yemen, the Israeli regime has lit the fuse for a wider, regional war that could easily morph into a global conflict by launching a major, illegal bombing campaign against the people of Iran.
Israel has launched a series of brutal airstrikes on residential neighborhoods in Tehran & key civilian infrastructure, including a nuclear enrichment facility. These attacks have leveled apartment buildings, killed dozens of Iranian civilians– including children—and have targeted top military & government officials. Israeli leaders themselves have promised the attacks to continue & are calling this the start of a “long war”.
Marco Rubio has claimed that this was a unilateral Israeli action, not coordinated with the United States. We categorically reject that narrative. The Pentagon obviously gave a green light to the Israeli war against Iran. From the billions in annual military aid to the continuous transfer of advanced weapons & intelligence, this war is only possible because of full U.S. support.
The Trump administration & the Pentagon are partners in this criminal war against the people of Iran. Israel is an extension of American military power. The regime in Tel Aviv is entirely dependent on US military assistance & financial support & could not commit its many acts of aggression without the patronage of Washington & the Pentagon.
Make no mistake, the Israeli war against Iran is a clear violation of the UN Charter, & thus a violation of international law. The United States ratified the UN Charter, which is an international treaty, & as a consequence, is the highest law of the land in the United States. The UN Charter strictly forbids a member nation from attacking another nation except in the case of self-defense from an armed attack. Iran has not attacked Israel. The war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu is claiming self-defense, as the Israelis always do when they carry out aggression, but that doesn’t make the assertion true.
Netanyahu should be arrested immediately & brought to the Hague for war crimes, crimes against humanity, & crimes against peace.
Iran, in 2015, negotiated with the United States, UK, France, Russia, China, & Germany, & signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which promised Iran relief from crippling economic sanctions in exchange for allowing international inspectors to carry out an intrusive, regular examination of its civilian nuclear energy program to guarantee that Iran was not building a nuclear weapon. The irony could not have been greater, since 5 of the 6 signatories all possess large quantities of nuclear weapons.
Nonetheless, Iran agreed & signed the JCPOA. The US never lived up to its side of the agreement. The Obama administration retained punishing economic sanctions on Iran, & Donald Trump ripped up the agreement when he came to the White House in 2017, calling it the ‘worst agreement ever.’
In typical fashion, the US capitalist media has turned the actual historical narrative on its head & promoted the false idea that it was Iran that was in violation of the earlier agreement. The US media functions as an echo chamber for the Pentagon & the Israeli war machine.
The people of the US have filled the streets for over 20 months in solidarity with Palestine, demanding an end to the US-Israeli genocide. The US population overwhelmingly rejects war, which only benefits powerful elites, who are simultaneously engaged in violent raids against immigrant workers, repressing dissent, & cutting off access to healthcare for millions of poor & working-class people.
We demand that the US cut all aid to Israel, that US military forces leave the Middle East, that the siege on Gaza be lifted, & that Netanyahu & the Israeli warmakers be brought to justice for their incessant crimes against humanity
