Global Sumud Flotilla Announces Launch Of Its Spring 2026 Mission

December 23, 2025 Global Sumud Flotilla. , , ,
The Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) announces the launch of its Spring 2026 mission, a historic escalation in civilian-led maritime action to break the illegal blockade of Gaza. Moving beyond previous aid delivery efforts, this mission represents a strategic shift toward a sustained civilian presence and the establishment of a replicable model grounded in international law and Palestinian leadership. A primary focus of the 2026 mission is the deployment of a specialized medical fleet. Carrying more than 1,000 healthcare professionals and stocked with life-saving medicines and equipment, this fleet aims to stabilize Gaza's healthcare system and support the efforts of local medical teams who have endured two years of genocide.

California’s AB 715 Claims To Combat Antisemitism

December 23, 2025 Jenin Younes and Deyar Jamil, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
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. , , ,
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. 

Mali Recovers Over USD 1.2 Billion After Renegotiating Mining Deals

December 23, 2025 Nicholas Mwangi, People's Dispatch. , , ,
Mali’s government announced earlier this month that it has secured more than 761 billion CFA francs (about USD 1.2 billion) in unpaid revenue from mining companies following a comprehensive audit and renegotiation of contracts in the extractive sector, making it one of the most significant resource governance interventions in the country’s recent history. Mali is one of the world’s top 20 gold producers and Africa’s third largest gold producer and it relies heavily on mining as a pillar of its economy. Yet, in light of the disparity in the amount of minerals exported and revenue that Mali was obtaining for them, authorities concluded that the country was not receiving its fair share of benefits from its natural resources.

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

December 23, 2025 Daphne Barroeta and Alex Q, Workers World. , , ,
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). 

Denver Community Stops Expansion Of Deportation Flight Operation

December 23, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Denver, CO – Organizers in Denver are continuing the fight against local airline Key Lime Air, responsible for deportation flights. Over the last week, the campaign to stop Key Lime Air from operating deportation flights has expanded. Organizers from Aurora Unidos CSO, Immigrant Partnership Teams, Freedom Road Socialist Organization, Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, and Casa de Paz gathered outside of the Denver City Council meeting on December 15. The city councilors were scheduled to vote on Key Lime Air’s presence at Denver International Airport. If passed, the bill would expand Key Lime Air’s contract with the airport by increasing its operating space there.

2025 In Review: Stark Battle Lines, Big Potential

December 23, 2025 Jenny Brown, Labor Notes. , , ,
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.

Bolivians Mobilize In Rejection Of Rodrigo Paz’s Fuel Price Hike

December 23, 2025 TeleSur English. , , ,
Members of the Bolivian Workers’ Central (COB), the country’s largest labor organization, mobilized this Monday in a national strike against Decree 5503 imposed by President Rodrigo Paz, which eliminated fuel subsidies after more than 20 years. In this regard, miners, coca growers, and some sectors affiliated with the COB gathered in La Ceja, El Alto, marched through the avenues of La Paz, and finally descended towards the seat of government. The mining leaders, represented in one sector by Alfredo Uño Villca, demanded the immediate annulment of the decree and the opening of genuine channels of dialogue with the central government.

Logging Blockade Brewing In Alberta’s Rocky Mountains

December 23, 2025 Drew Anderson, The Narwhal. , , ,
The woods surrounding the Highwood Pass, a mountain valley southwest of Calgary, are quiet. The traffic snarls of fall, which brought day trippers flocking to see larch trees pop yellow against the green hills, are gone. The road through the pass is closed until the spring. Gone too is a temporary camp and barrier across a logging road, set up to protest in advance of clear-cut operations in this popular corner of Kananaskis Country along the rocky spine of southwestern Alberta. At least for now. At first blush, it’s odd for protesters opposed to logging to leave the area before the logging starts, but that wasn’t really the point of the camp set up by a group called Defenders of the Eastern Slopes. 

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

December 23, 2025 Christine Ahn and Davis Price, Truthout. , , ,
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.

War And Plunder On The DR Congo Escalate Under ‘Peace Agreement’

December 22, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) is a country in central Africa the size of Western Europe and rich in arable land and minerals, including those critical to the military industrial complex, such as cobalt and coltan. Since the CIA-backed assassination of Patrice Lumumba in 1961, the DRC has been ruled by puppets who answer to the United States and its allies. 2025 has been a devastating year for the DRC. Clearing the FOG speaks with Maurice Carney, the executive director of Friends of the Congo, about the occupation by Rwandan forces, mass displacement of millions of people, and the recent 'peace agreements' that rob the DRC of its riches and sovereignty. He discusses this in the context of Kwame Nkrumah's work, "Neo-colonialism: The last stage of imperialism."

Reasons Black/African People Should Be In Solidarity With Venezuela

December 22, 2025 Djibo Sobukwe, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
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.

The Angry Tide Has Washed Into Chile

December 22, 2025 Vijay Prashad, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
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.

US Pursuing Third Tanker Near Venezuela As Trump Escalates Blockade

December 22, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , , ,
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. , , , ,
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.
