Here's how Frederick Douglass described the revolutionaries who risked their necks (literally) for the proposition that all men are created equal.

He saw scourge of slavery as betrayal of principles upon which the country was founded.

Leon Trotsky in 1906: “The bourgeoisie has shamefully betrayed all the traditions of its historical youth, and its present hirelings dishonor the graves of its ancestors ... The proletariat has taken the honor of the revolutionary past of the bourgeoisie under its protection.”

"...whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles...as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety & Happiness."

Trump admin is actively plotting to establish a dictatorship, arrest opponents & detain ppl indefinitely. Anyone who thinks this would be limited to non-citizens is fooling themselves. Whatever remains of democracy is slipping away.

Dems downplay, but mass mobilization needed!

The Trump administration has achieved none of its war aims and confronts a deepening crisis. It has neither overthrown Iran’s government, crippled its military nor opened the Strait of Hormuz - Israel bombs Iran as fighting spreads across Lebanon and Gaza

Per NPR, Cornell President Michael Kotlikoff (who orchestrated suspension/attempted deportation of @MomodouTaal) reportedly hit a pro-Palestinian student with a car, then Cornell banned the student from campus for "restrict[ing]" the car's "ability to maneuver."

The radicalism of the youth of the 1960 was not "drug inspired." It was a response to Vietnam, the struggle for civil rights, and, even more fundamentally, the fresh and not-forgotten horrors of the two World Wars. The 1917 October Revolution had not disappeared from memory, capitalism and anti-communism were in bad odor, Stalinism was increasingly discredited, and there was a revival of interest in Trotsky, whose extraordinary books were recognized as political and literary masterworks. This resurgence was suppressed by the reactionary political climate of the Reagan-Thatcher years to which Mr. Luce was exposed, to his own misfortune, during his intellectually formative years.

But Mr. Luce correctly detects a process of radicalization among the world's youth. The question is, at what point will this radicalization break beyond the bounds of the media-vetted pseudo-leftism of people like Sanders and Mamdani and reestablish contact with the the genuine Marxian-socialist political perspective and culture that was exemplified in the October Revolution and figures like Lenin, Trotsky and Luxemburg. This break must and will occur, and the rediscovery of Trotsky's extraordinary political legacy and writings will be a critical element of the reemergence of Marxism as a mass socialist movement based on the working class.

The World Socialist Web Site has posted today a preface I have written to a new edition of Trotsky's autobiography, My Life. It can be accessed at https://t.co/79dx4RaCkC

[World Socialist Web Site @WSWS_Updates]

Nearly one century after its publication in late 1929, My Life remains a work of undiminished significance. A great memoir must, of course, be very well written. It must also convey—through its recollection of social, political or psychological experiences—a sense of what it was to be alive at a particular time.

"There's a lot of Hispanics, whites, Indians, African-Americans, a few of us Pacific Islanders. We just all go to work and the kids go to school and everybody kind of does the same thing. We're all just trying to make ends meet."

[David North @DavidNorthWSWS]

Piker reminds one of Trotsky's description of Kerensky: "He had no theoretical preparation, no political schooling, no ability to think, no political will." He has "that kind of eloquence which operates neither upon mind or will, but upon the nerves."

Is CBP deliberately trying to force a mom to have a miscarriage by detaining mom & 4 yr old for a week & denying them food?

Mom hospitalized twice (dizzy & vaginal bleeding). Medical staff “concerned that she was not eating enough and fed her." CBP refused to let her buy food.
