UB, UB, You Can’t Hide! UB, UB, Where’s Your Pride?

December 23, 2025 Daphne Barroeta and Alex Q, Workers World. Strategize! Higher Education, LGBTQ Rights, Student Activism, Student organization

The University at Buffalo (UB) used to have a policy of allowing oppressed groups of students to have their own spaces on campus. That policy was won in stages through decades of activism and struggle in the mid to late 20th century. During the initial wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021, the university took advantage of the physical absence of students from the campus to begin closing these student-run spaces until only one was left — the LGBTQIA2S+ community space known as SU 373 (Student Union room 373).

2025 In Review: Stark Battle Lines, Big Potential

December 23, 2025 Jenny Brown, Labor Notes. Strategize! Labor Movement, Strikes, Unions, Worker Rights

Already before Donald Trump was inaugurated in January, there were dire omens. Poultry workers reported that their supervisors were using Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric to divide workers up—allowing white workers bathroom breaks but denying them to Hispanic workers. “The more people are afraid to organize, the more the bosses will take advantage to create worse working conditions,” wrote Magaly Licolli of the worker center Venceremos in January. Racist divide-and-conquer contributed to an organizing loss when bosses at a North Carolina Amazon warehouse tried to divide Black workers from Hispanic workers for their union vote in February.

Hawai‘i Has Rare Opportunity To Reclaim Land From US Military

December 23, 2025 Christine Ahn and Davis Price, Truthout. Strategize! Hawaii, Landback Movement, Sovereignty, US military

Since 1964, the U.S. military has leased roughly 47,000 acres of land from the State of Hawai‘i — for a token $1. The leases, which account for 18 percent of military lands in Hawai‘i, are set to expire in 2029, offering Hawai‘i a rare opportunity to reclaim land from the war machine. As the expiration date looms, Hawai‘i residents are at a crossroads: remain a staging ground for U.S. imperialism or pivot toward community well‑being, environmental sustainability, and economic self‑determination. But that decision may arrive sooner than 2029.

The Angry Tide Has Washed Into Chile

December 22, 2025 Vijay Prashad, People's Dispatch. Strategize! 2025 elections, Chile, Constitutional Convention of Chile, Elections, Fascism, José Antonio Kast, Neoliberalism

On December 14, the predictable happened: José Antonio Kast, the candidate of the far-right Republican Party, prevailed over Jeannette Jara of the Communist Party of Chile by 58.16% to 41.84%. Kast ran as the candidate of the Cambio por Chile (Change for Chile) platform and was backed by all the parties of the traditional right and the center-right. Jara, on the other hand, was the candidate of Unidad por Chile (Unity for Chile), which comprised the parties of the center-left, including the bloc of Chile’s current president, Gabriel Boric, the Frente Amplio or Broad Front.

Trump: Who Will Put The Bell On The Cat?

December 20, 2025 Maria Páez Victor, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Donald Trump, Military threats, Nicolas Maduro, the Caribbean, US Imperialism, US Sanctions, Venezuela

Trump, the president of the most capitalist nation on Earth, has dealt a blow to the very system upon which his country—and indeed, most of the West—considers the bedrock of the economy, a blow that not even the most revolutionary person today would have foretold or thought to achieve. He has trashed the notion of private property and outright stolen a full oil tanker in international waters, like a modern pirate, and kidnapped its crew. Since September, mighty US navy warships obliterated, with military missiles, 22 small outboard motorboats (mostly in the Caribbean but some in the Pacific), killing at least 87 people.

European Security Includes Russia

December 20, 2025 Jeffrey Sachs, Consortium News. Strategize! Germany, NATO, Russia, Security guarantees, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

Security guarantees are not one-way instruments. They go in both directions. This is not a Russian argument, nor an American one; it is a foundational principle of European security, explicitly embedded in the Helsinki Final Act, the OSCE framework, and decades of postwar diplomacy. Germany has a duty to approach this moment with historical seriousness and honesty. On that score, recent rhetoric and policy choices fall dangerously short. Since 1990, Russia’s core security concerns have been repeatedly dismissed, diluted or directly violated — often with Germany’s active participation or acquiescence.

Brotherhood Of Sleeping Car Porters Changed Black Politics

December 20, 2025 Paul Prescod, Labor Notes. Strategize! Railroads, Sleeping Car Porters, Unions, Worker Rights

The fact that the meeting was even happening was enough to produce an air of subversive excitement. One hundred years ago on August 25, 1925, Black sleeping car porters, hoping to form a union at the Pullman company, packed the Elks Hall in Harlem. Company spies were probably in the audience as well. Socialist A. Philip Randolph led the meeting, making the case that a union was the only way to deal with their grievances and reclaim their manhood. This gathering initiated a 12-year struggle to form the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) and win a first contract against a corporate giant.

First We End The War, Then We Restart The Factories

December 19, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! Development, Global South, Hybrid Wars, industrialisation, Sanctions

In mid-November 2025, at a United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) conference in Saudi Arabia, Basher Abdullah, an adviser to Sudan’s Ministry of Industry and Trade, said, ‘First, we need to end the war. Then, we have to restart the factories’. His comment was about Sudan’s appalling civil war, but it could have been about many countries in the Global South that are in the midst of either a shooting war or a trade war. For these poorer nations, development has been set aside in favour of more immediate threats. Yet beyond the horizon of guns and extortion lies the need to imagine possible futures.

A People’s Orientation To The Praxis Of People(S)-Centered Human Rights

December 18, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Human Rights, Imperialism, North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights (North South Project), People Centered Human Rights

Since the launch of the North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights (North South Project) last year, the framework has been steadily increasing in the global lexicon. The framework itself was produced by Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) founder, Ajamu Baraka, who is also the Director of the North South Project, as a direct result of his observations and practice as a long-time human rights activist. Baraka’s observations and practice was systematized into what he refers to as, “the Black radical human rights tradition that is people(s)-centered - hence People(s)-Centered Human Rights (PCHRs).

Privatize USPS? Mail Carriers Have A Better Idea

December 18, 2025 Mel Buer, In These Times. Strategize! Contract Negotiations, Privatization, Unions, US Postal Workers

This week, we’re taking a more national focus, and checking in with the National Association of Letter Carriers, who have been embroiled in a years-long contract negotiation with the U.S. Postal Service. In our episode today, I’m sitting down with Melissa Rakestraw, member of the National Association of Letter Carriers, Branch 825 in Chicago, IL, to discuss the state of negotiations with our nation’s letter carriers, the unprecedented rejection of the recent tentative agreement and what happens next, and what would happen if the U.S. Postal Service was privatized.

Why Have Israel Bonds Become A Target For The BDS Movement?

December 16, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. Strategize! BDS Movement, Divestment, Genocide, Israel Bonds

Last month, Florida Atlantic University (FAU) announced that it will invest an additional $5 million in Israel Bonds, making the school the largest Israeli bondholder among universities worldwide. “This is a sound financial decision — but equally important, it is a statement of solidarity that reflects our vision for the future,” declared FAU president Adam Hasner in a press release. “As a leading university and a member of the South Florida community, we cannot ignore what is happening to Jewish students across the country, and we are proud of the steps we are taking to become the safest and most welcoming university for Jewish life in America.”

Learning From UAW History And Taking Control Of Work Reductions

December 14, 2025 Nevena Pilipovic-Wengler and Andrew Bergman, Left Voice. Strategize! Capitalism, History, Job Banks, Layoffs, United Auto Workers (UAW), Worker Rights and Jobs

On the morning of October 29, autoworkers at Factory Zero, the GM electric vehicle plant in Detroit, received an urgent notification about the status of our two-month temporary layoff. For over 1,100 of us working in the plant, the news was that we would have to return to work on Thanksgiving week, only to be indefinitely laid off in January. As the bosses reduce production from two shifts down to one, the holidays are bringing uncertainty and precarity, rather than comfort and stability. Over the past year, hundreds of workers at Factory Zero have already been impacted by rolling layoffs and termination of temporary workers, often announced without notice.

Kerala Has Abolished Extreme Poverty

December 12, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Strategize! India, Kerala, Poverty Eradication, Socialism

On 1 November 2025, the south-western Indian state of Kerala – home to 34 million people – was declared free from extreme poverty by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. Kerala is one of the few places in the world to have eradicated extreme poverty, following China, which announced in 2022 that it had eradicated extreme poverty nationwide. Kerala’s achievement is significant for two reasons. First, in a country where hundreds of millions of people still live in poverty, Kerala is the only one of India’s twenty-eight states and eight union territories to have overcome extreme poverty.

Year In Rear View: What The Lack Of Principled And Pronounced Opposition Reveals About US Left

December 12, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Fascism, Human Rights, Human Rights Day, k, Leftists, The, Wars and Militarism, Youth Activism

Nearly one year into President Trump’s second term, residents of the United States and the world over have witnessed a louder and faster drumbeat towards full-blown and irrefutable fascism and authoritarianism. We have seen our streets and neighborhoods invaded by masked agents of the State from the Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) division of the Department of Homeland Security who are conducting wholesale roundups and pillage of non-white people from their families, places of employment, and communities, national guard troops patrol streets in many of our cities adding to a culture of fear and uncertainty, especially for non white poor and working class people.
