December 21, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will reportedly ask US President Donald Trump to greenlight a new assault on Iran to target its ballistic missile program, NBC News reported on 21 December. Citing a person with direct knowledge of the Israeli plans and four former US officials, NBC reported that Netanyahu is expected to present options for a renewed attack in a meeting between the two leaders tentatively scheduled for 29 December at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Miami, Florida. "Netanyahu is expected to make the case to Trump that Iran's expansion of its ballistic missile program poses a threat that could necessitate swift action," the sources told NBC.

At a massive rally in front of Venezuela’s national oil company PDVSA headquarters in La Campiña, Caracas, Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez condemned the ongoing US aggressions against the country. In her speech on Friday, December 19, Rodríguez, who is also the minister of hydrocarbons, emphasized that Venezuela has a firm stance of dignity and resistance. She underscored that the country has no outstanding debts with the Trump administration. Rather, Washington owes the Venezuelan people compensation for stealing Venezuelan state assets.

CUNY Union Passes Resolution Condemning Military Aggression Against Venezuela

December 21, 2025 Left Voice. , , , , , , ,
On December 19, the Professional Staff Congress (PSC) delegate assembly voted to pass a resolution repudiating the U.S. military aggression against Venezuela. The resolution follows Trump’s announcement of an escalation of his offensive, introducing a “total blockade” on Venezuela. As we have written previously, “This blockade and continued military escalation is only going to impoverish and hurt the Venezuelan working class, who face not only an acute economic and social crisis due to imperialist sanctions and increasing military attacks, but also repression by the Maduro government.”

Left Parties In Asia Denounce US Military Threats Against Venezuela

December 21, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
Left and communist parties across Asia issued a statement expressing solidarity with the people of Venezuela, who are facing unprecedented attacks from the United States with an aggressive military build up in the Caribbean, as well as open threats of invasion. The statement, dated December 16, notes the concerns over ongoing “military escalation in the Caribbean and the aggression against Venezuela by the imperialist US” and demands the immediate cessation of all such hostile activities. The statement was signed by the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the Socialist Party of Malaysia (PSM), the Party of the Laboring Masses of Philippines (PLM), and Indonesia’s Partai Pembebasan Rakyat.

Your Anti-Communism Problem And Mine

December 20, 2025 Charisse Burden-Stelly, Ph D, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , , ,
On November 7, 2025, Donald J. Trump declared Anti-Communism Week 2025 as “a solemn remembrance of the devastation caused by one of history’s most destructive ideologies.” He proclaimed that communism was a story of “blood and sorrow” and amounted to nothing more than servitude. The following statement is particularly noteworthy: “New voices now repeat old lies, cloaking them in the language of ‘social justice’ and ‘democratic socialism,’ yet their message remains the same: give up your freedom, place your trust in the power of the government, and trade the promise of prosperity for the empty comfort of control.”

Trump: Who Will Put The Bell On The Cat?

December 20, 2025 Maria Páez Victor, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , ,
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.

Venezuela Strongly Condemns US Threat Of Blockade

In an escalation of the US empire’s ongoing illegal sanctions on Venezuela, US President Donald Trump has announced a “full blockade” of the sovereign nation and its oil tanker fleet. He claimed the measure would remain in place until Venezuela “returns all the oil, land, and other assets” he alleged were previously stolen from the US. The announcement ignited an immediate response from the Venezuelan government, followed by all state institutions and international allies. “Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled in the History of South America,” Trump wrote on social media this Tuesday, December 16, adding that “it will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before.”

Bill To Block Trump From Launching War With Venezuela Fails

December 18, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , ,
The House on Wednesday voted down a War Powers Resolution meant to block President Trump from launching a war with Venezuela without congressional authorization, as required by the Constitution. The bill failed in a vote of 211-213, with nine representatives not voting. Just three Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the bill: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA), and Don Bacon (NE). One Democrat, Henry Cuellar (TX), voted against the legislation. The legislation would have directed the president to remove “United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against Venezuela that have not been authorized by Congress.”

We Are All Somalia

December 16, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
On two recent occasions, Donald Trump, president of the United States, engaged in a racist meltdown against the African nation of Somalia and its citizens who migrated to the United States. In the first instance, he called Somalia the “worst country on earth” and claimed that Somalis “destroyed” Minnesota and turned it into a “hell hole.” Not long after, while speaking to the press at a cabinet meeting, he referred to a member of congress, Ilhan Omar, as “garbage.” He also used the term to describe everyone coming from her home country of Somalia.

At Army–Navy Game, Activists Confront Trump Over Venezuela

December 15, 2025 Sharon Black, Struggle La Lucha. , , ,
Baltimore, Dec. 13 — Activists shifted the spotlight from the pageantry of the Army–Navy game, using Donald Trump’s attendance as a platform to center a powerful demand: “No war on Venezuela.” Hundreds lined the streets outside the stadium where Trump was scheduled to appear, unfurling banners that read, “No war on Venezuela and Palestine” and “No to ICE — Money for jobs, education, and health care.” Andrew Matatag, representing the publication Struggle-La Lucha, drew a sharp contrast. “Almost every police agency on record — from the Secret Service to Homeland Security — is amassed here today to protect Trump,” he said.

Wave Of Tax Cuts Left States Vulnerable To SNAP And Medicaid Crisis

December 12, 2025 Eli Hager, ProPublica. , , , , ,
This fall, Americans got to see what it’s like to go without a safety net for the hungry. With the U.S. government shut down for multiple weeks and President Donald Trump refusing to fund SNAP, the federal food stamp program, a panic set in among the more than 40 million people who rely on it. Families skipped meals, and babies went unfed. Food banks ran out of food, and some people turned to dumpster diving. It was just a glimpse of what’s to come. Starting next October, Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in SNAP costs from the federal government onto states.

Occupation, Boycott, Death: The Month That Changed D.C.

December 12, 2025 Jerome Paige, People's World. , , ,
I didn’t expect to begin this article on a sidewalk. But on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, around noon, I mentally finalized what I thought would be a clean two-week account of Washington’s slow tightening. I got off the Metrorail at 14th and Irving to join the #WeAintBuyingIt rally in front of Target’s entrances. A small crowd had gathered, calm and steady, holding signs.Someone turned to me and said, almost casually, “This is Week 36.” Thirty-six consecutive Saturdays of protest. Thirty-six weeks of refusing to spend money in a store that, in their words, “walked away from the very people who kept it standing.”

These 15 Coal Plants Would Have Retired; Then Came AI And Trump

December 12, 2025 Joe Fassler, DeSmog. , , , , , ,
Since the second Trump administration took power in January, at least 15 coal plants have had planned retirements pushed back or delayed indefinitely, a DeSmog analysis found. That’s mostly due to an expected rise in electricity demand, a surge largely driven by the rise of high-powered data centers needed to train and run artificial intelligence (AI) models. But some of the plants have been ordered to stay open by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), despite significant environmental and financial costs. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a former fracking executive, has frequently cited “winning the AI race” as a rationale for re-investing in coal.

Obama’s Powerpoint Death Parade Led To Trump’s Venezuelan Killings

December 11, 2025 James Bovard, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Trump administration’s killings of scores of Venezuelans are provoking outrage across the Western Hemisphere. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently proclaimed, “We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists.” President Trump and Hegseth are cashing a blank check for carnage that was written years earlier by President Barack Obama. In his 2017 farewell address, Obama boasted, “We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists.” Drone strikes increased tenfold under Obama, helping fuel anti–U.S. backlashes in several nations. As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007, Sen. Barack Obama declared, “We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers.”

The Beautiful Game Is Getting Ugly

Washington, DC – Inside the Kennedy Center, FIFA President Gianni Infantino was hanging a gold metal around the neck of his “close friend” Donald Trump and giving him a hefty golden peace trophy. “The FIFA Peace Prize is awarded annually,” Infantino said of the new award nobody has ever won before from his supposedly apolitical organization. The pair were at the landmark arts venue for a floor show–like event before officials drew brackets of teams to play this summer’s World Cup tournament, to be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. FIFA took over the building for free and displaced scheduled National Symphony Orchestra concerts, according to The Washington Post; it closed down nearby streets for multiple blocks and forced drivers into inconvenient detours.
