When The USSR And China Saved Humanity

December 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. Educate! China, Fascism, History, Imperialism, Soviet Union, USSR, World War Two, WWII

2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the defeat of fascism in World War Two. Unfortunately, the history of this extremely important conflict is not very well understood today. It was not the United States and its Western allies that defeated fascism in WWII. That is a myth that is promoted by Hollywood movies. In reality, it was the Soviet Union and China that defeated fascism in WWII. However, their heroic contribution was later erased by the West, when the US waged the First Cold War against the global socialist movement. The vast majority — approximately 80% — of Nazi casualties were on the Eastern Front, in the Third Reich’s savage, scorched-earth battles against the Soviet Red Army.

Somaliland: How The World Reacted To Israeli Recognition

December 27, 2025 Rayhan Uddin, Middle East Eye. Educate! African Union (AU), Donald Trump, Egypt, Israel, Palestine, qatar, Somaliland

Israel's decision to become the first country to recognise the breakaway region of Somaliland has been condemned by a string of countries, while the US president said he was not ready to immediately follow in Israel's footsteps. Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, announced on Friday that he had signed a mutual declaration to recognise Somaliland as an independent and sovereign state. Somaliland has been part of the unified Somali Republic since 1960, but declared its independence in 1991 and established a de facto state.

Honduras: Electoral Coup Was Unprecedented Fascist Operation

December 27, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Elections, Honduras, Right wing politics, US coup

Ricardo Salgado, the Honduran secretary of Strategic Planning, said that the country suffered a new form of coup d’état following the proclamation of right-wing candidate Nasry Asfura as the president of Honduras by the two CNE councilors who belong to the Honduran bipartisan system: Ana Paola Hall García and Cossette Alejandra López. On December 24, the two aforementioned CNE officials declared Asfura the winner of the November 30 elections, without completing the special recount or resolving the challenges filed in response to the numerous irregularities reported.

How Education Changed In One Year Under Trump

December 27, 2025 Nirvi Shah, The Hechinger Report. Educate! Education, Higher Education, Schools, Trump Administration

Even with a conservative think tank’s blueprint detailing how the second Trump administration should reimagine the federal government’s role in education, few might have predicted what actually materialized this year for America’s schools and colleges. Or what might be yet to come. “2025 will go down as a banner year for education: the year we restored merit in higher education, rooted out waste, fraud and abuse, and began in earnest returning education to the states,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon told The Hechinger Report. She listed canceling K-12 grants she called wasteful, investing more in charter schools, ending college admissions that consider race or anything beyond academic achievement and making college more affordable as some of the year’s accomplishments.

‘What Is The Christian Word In The Face Of Genocide?’

December 24, 2025 Jeff Wright, Mondoweiss. Educate! Ethnic cleansing, Gaza, Genocide, Israel, Zionism

Last month, 300 people—led by the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Palestine— gathered in Bethlehem to launch the second Kairos Palestine document: A Moment of Truth: Faith in a Time of Genocide. 140 Palestinians and 160 internationals spent the day unpacking the theological and political descriptions of the conditions that Palestinians face and attending to the indigenous church’s call for Palestinian resistance and Christian solidarity. The conference was hosted by Kairos Palestine, the largest Palestinian Christian ecumenical nonviolent movement for freedom and justice.

Germany: Critics Of The Government Are Losing Their Bank Accounts

December 24, 2025 Leon Wystrychowski, People's Dispatch. Educate! AntiFa, Communist Party of Germany (DKP), Cuba solidarity, Germany, Palestine Solidarity, Repression

The German Communist Party (DKP) announced earlier this month that several associated bank accounts (including that of the party executive) will be terminated as of December 31, 2025. The reasons for the account termination remain unclear and the act in itself raises more questions than answers. The case has also drawn attention to a trend in Germany that appears to be resurfacing more and more: attacks on the material foundations of actors who criticize the German government, and especially its policies on war.

Who’s The Real Outlaw At Sea?

December 24, 2025 Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies, CODEPINK. Educate! Blockade, International Law, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

The United States has now intercepted multiple Venezuelan oil tankers as part of its escalating aggression against Venezuela, while also destroying dozens of small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific under the banner of “drug enforcement,” killing over 100 people whose identities the U.S. has obscured. At the same time, the Trump administration has threatened a naval blockade of Venezuela—a sovereign country with which the United States is not at war. How can Washington claim the right to seize or blow up vessels, disrupt maritime trade, and kill civilian boaters—while bombing Yemen and condemning its de facto Houthi government for intercepting ships in the Red Sea to counter Israel’s genocide in Gaza?

Pentagon Fails Eighth Consecutive Audit

December 24, 2025 Jake Johnson, Common Dreams. Educate! Accountability, Audit, Congress, Federal budget, Pentagon

Two days after the US Senate voted on a bipartisan basis to authorize just over $900 billion in military spending for the coming fiscal year, the chief recipient of that taxpayer money—the Department of Defense—announced it failed an audit of its books for the eighth consecutive year. The now-predictable audit result was announced Friday by the Pentagon's Office of Inspector General (OIG) after an examination of the agency's roughly $4.6 trillion in assets. The OIG said it identified 26 "material weaknesses"—major flaws in internal controls over financial reports—in the Pentagon's accounting.

California’s AB 715 Claims To Combat Antisemitism

December 23, 2025 Jenin Younes and Deyar Jamil, Mondoweiss. Educate! Antisemitism, California, Censorship, Free Speech, Gavin Newsom, Retaliation

It’s not just Washington, DC that has sold out to the Israel lobby. In October of this year, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 715 into law, amending California’s education code, despite significant public opposition. The ostensible purpose of the AB 715 amendments is to address the crisis of rising antisemitism by fortifying anti-discrimination law in public schools. A closer look says otherwise. The bill was rushed through the state legislative process: at the legislative hearing, even its proponents acknowledged that it had been drafted rather hastily and would require “clean-up” legislation down the road to ensure compliance with constitutional requirements.

Washington Weighs Sanctions On Spanish-Flagged Vessels

December 23, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Israel, Spain, US Sanctions, Weapons Embargo

The dispute began in November 2024 and has since escalated into a formal maritime standoff involving regulators, ports, and commercial operators on both sides of the Atlantic, according to notices issued by the FMC and Israeli media reports. Israeli Channel 14 said Washington argues that Spain’s decision “harms maritime trade.” Yet, Spanish authorities maintain they will not allow ports or airspace to facilitate arms deliveries linked to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The issue centers on Spain’s refusal to grant port access and airspace clearance to ships and aircraft transporting arms or military fuel intended for Israel, including vessels carrying what the FMC described as “cargo” bound for Israel.

Reasons Black/African People Should Be In Solidarity With Venezuela

December 22, 2025 Djibo Sobukwe, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Afro-Venezuelas, Solidarity, Venezuela, Venezuela solidarity

While we are all aware that the US government has increased its hybrid war on its domestic population in the form of ICE, the national guard, cutting SNAP benefits, etc., we should also keep in mind that the US has escalated its war internationally. In this case, we highlight the escalation of the US hybrid war against Venezuela and provide 5 reasons why Black / African people should be in strong, steadfast solidarity at this time with the Bolivarian Revolution of Venezuela. The attacks and attempts at regime change and destabilization against the Bolivarian government of Venezuela by the US government have been ongoing since the founding of this democratically elected government in 1999.

US Pursuing Third Tanker Near Venezuela As Trump Escalates Blockade

December 22, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. Educate! Oil Tankers, Sanctions, Trump Administration, US Imperialism, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

US forces tried to board a third oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela as the Trump administration continues to escalate its declared blockade of the country, an action traditionally considered an act of war under international law. Sources told Bloomberg that the US was still in pursuit of the Bella 1 tanker, which was en route to Venezuela to be loaded with oil before it was boarded by US forces. The outlet initially reported that US forces had boarded the tanker. US officials told The New York Times that the Bella 1 refused to be boarded by the US and has fled to the northeast, into the Atlantic Ocean.

Israeli Army Expands Outposts In Gaza; Laying Groundwork For Permanent Occupation

December 22, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Ceasefire, Gaza, Israel, Israeli Occupation, Palestine

The Israeli military is preparing to establish a permanent presence inside the Gaza Strip, new satellite imagery released by Forensic Architecture has confirmed. According to Forensic Architecture’s research, Israel is consolidating control over 50 percent of the strip – continuously demolishing civilian infrastructure to make room for new outposts. Since the ceasefire, the Israeli army has built at least 13 new outposts – mainly east of the so-called “Yellow Line,” the perimeter to which Tel Aviv withdrew its forces as part of the agreement.

China Changes Everything: A Book Review

December 22, 2025 Steve Lalla, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Book Review, China, Health Care, Socialism

A new book edited by Kyle Ferrana, China Changes Everything, bills itself as an anthology by “social justice activists, journalists, and commentators” and brings together chapters about the People’s Republic of China written by prominent left-wing analysts, including Arnold August, Roger Harris, Radhika Desai, Carlos Martinez, Gerald Horne, Lee Siu Hin, Margaret Kimberley, Danny Haiphong, KJ Noh, Sara Flounders, and many more. The publication covers a comprehensive range of subjects in the ongoing “China debate” and includes chapters on such hot topics as China’s relation to Palestine and China’s foreign affairs policies, its banking and healthcare system, its transportation infrastructure and the rail and air infrastructure that China has helped to build in developing nations, its achievements in green technology and poverty alleviation, China’s military expenditures and aims, its role in the “space race,” its alleged genocide of the Uyghurs, and the status of Taiwan and Tibet, among others.

Climate Change Accelerates California’s Cost-Of-Living Crisis

December 22, 2025 Aaron Cantú, Scheer Post. Educate! California, climate crisis, Displacement, Environment, Poverty

When California adopted a law to regulate greenhouse gases 23 years ago — the first state in the nation to do so — it focused on the future dangers of global warming. But while California’s emissions have declined, they have kept rising globally, and the climate has worsened. Now, in an effort to build back momentum, advocates are bringing attention to current-day harms driven by climate change. Among those affected by rising temperatures is Amanda Nevarez, who was left homeless by the Eaton Fire, one of two wildfires in Los Angeles County that together destroyed more than 16,000 homes and buildings and killed 31 people last January.
