How The West Has Stolen Iran’s Sovereignty For Centuries

January 14, 2026 Mohammed ibn Faisal al-Rashid, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! British imperialism, Color Revolution, History, Imperialism, Iran, Israel, US Imperialism, US Sanctions

According to social media photographs verified by AFP, protesters in Tehran gathered on major avenues of the Iranian capital as part of a large-scale protest action driven by dissatisfaction with the rising cost of living. Persian-language TV channels based outside Iran and other social media published footage of large-scale protests in other cities, including Tabriz in the north and the holy city of Mashhad in the east. US President Donald Trump threatened to take harsh measures against Iran if its authorities “start killing people” protesting in a country where an economic crisis, born of suffocating US sanctions, has led to increased civil unrest.

The Disgraceful History Of Erasing Black Cemeteries In The US

January 13, 2026 Chip Colwell, Next City. Organize! Black America, Cemetery, History, Virginia

The burying ground looks like an abandoned lot. Holding the remains of upward of 22,000 enslaved and free people of color, the Shockoe Hill African Burying Ground in Richmond, Virginia, established in 1816, sits amid highways and surface roads. Above the expanse of unmarked graves loom a deserted auto shop, a power substation, a massive billboard. The bare ground of the cemetery is strewn with weeds. In contrast, across the way sits Shockoe Hill Cemetery. Established in 1822, it remains a peaceful cemetery with grass, large trees and bright marble headstones. This cemetery was created for white Christians.

Chris Hedges Report: Narco-Trafficking Elite Trying To Take Over Venezuela

January 8, 2026 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. Resistance Report History, Marco Rubio, Narcotrafficking, Venezuela

History, as it’s understood in most Western countries, often misses important chapters that leave critical gaps in the story of how modern countries came to be. In Latin America in the 20th century, episodes of guerilla warfare and juntas are acknowledged, along with portrayals of a drug war, usually depicted through popular culture. What is left out, however, is the clandestine involvement of American intelligence agencies, including the CIA and DEA, and how their drug operations were intimately tied to the Latin American anticommunist brigades funded by Western capital throughout the Cold War, and the brutal liquidation of the Left these narco-terrorists often carried out.

The Antidote To Fear Is Courage

January 8, 2026 Azadeh Shahshahani and Stephanie Guilloud, In These Times. Strategize! Anti-fascism, Fascism, History, popular power

A leaked Justice Department memo in early December outlined Attorney General Pam Bondi’s directive to the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaged in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism.” In addition to establishing a “cash reward system” for information, the memo, first published by journalist Ken Klippenstein, lays out targets that include those who express “opposition to law and immigration enforcement,” “adherence to radical gender ideology,” “anti-Christianity,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-Americanism.”

Here’s Every Time The US Has Coup’ed Latin America

January 7, 2026 Lee Camp, Substack. Educate! History, Latin America, Monroe Doctrine, US coups, US Imperialism

I thought this column was only going to take me a minute. The idea was simple: Slap down a list of all the times the US government (and the slime molds who control the US government) perpetrated or facilitated coups, kidnappings, assassinations, and plane landings (really fast into the side of a mountain) in Latin America since about 1950. The slapping down of said list ended up taking me several hours, and the list certainly isn’t exhaustive and doesn’t include a lot of things it probably should but some of those things are debatable. …But it’s a list.

Decline And Fall

December 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. Educate! British Empire, History, Poverty, US Empire

At the start of the 20th century, the British Empire was, like our own, in terminal decline. Sixty percent of Englishmen were physically unfit for military service, as are 77 percent of American youth. The Liberal Party, like the Democratic Party, while it acknowledged the need for reform, did little to address the economic and social inequalities that saw the working class condemned to live in substandard housing, breathe polluted air, be denied basic sanitation and health care and forced to work in punishing and poorly paid jobs.

The Lie We Keep Telling About Wounded Knee

December 29, 2025 Levi Rickert, Native News Online. Educate! History, Indigenous Peoples, Massacre, Wounded Knee

Today marks the 135th anniversary of the Massacre of Wounded Knee, which occurred during the wintry week between Christmas and New Year’s in 1890. Nine days before the massacre that left hundreds of Sioux men, women and children dead, an obscure weekly newspaper in South Dakota published an editorial following the death of Hunkpapa Lakota leader Sitting Bull. In the opinion piece, L. Frank Baum, publisher of the Saturday Pioneer, wrote: “The Whites, by law of conquest, by justice of civilization, are masters of the American continent, and the best safety of the frontier settlements will be secured by the total annihilation of the few remaining Indians. Why not annihilation? Their glory has fled.”

Understanding The Relationship Between Zionism And Fascism

December 28, 2025 Alana Lentin, Mondoweiss. Educate! Fascism, History, Israel, Palestine, Zionism

Despite the mutual admiration of Zionists and fascists, both historically and in the present, it is generally considered unhelpful to characterize Zionism as fascism. However, viewing fascism from the perspective of the Black radical tradition, with its emphasis on racialism, colonialism and imperialism, rooted in supremacist ideas of western civilization, helps make fascism a useful concept for understanding Zionism. In popular definitions of fascism it is detached from nationalism and associated most strongly with authoritarianism. Israel’s self-presentation as a liberal democracy, the result of a national self-determination project, and even an anticolonial Indigenous manifestation, conflicts with dominant ideas of what fascism is.

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.

Christmas Is Not A Western Story; It Is A Palestinian One

December 24, 2025 Rev Dr Munther Isaac, Al Jazeera. Resist! Christmas, History, Middle East, Palestine

Every December, much of the Christian world enters a familiar cycle of celebration: carols, lights, decorated trees, consumer frenzy and the warm imagery of a snowy night. In the United States and Europe, public discourse often speaks of “Western Christian values”, or even the vague notion of “Judeo-Christian civilisation”. These phrases have become so common that many assume, almost automatically, that Christianity is inherently a Western religion — an expression of European culture, history and identity. It is not.

Malcolm X’s Daughters Sue NYPD, FBI About Their Role In His Assassination

December 21, 2025 Michael Smith, The Indypendent. Resist! FBI, History, Legal System, Malcolm X, NYPD

Malcolm X was assassinated 60 years ago in the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem. Assassination is a political murder. Will the truth about the role of the NYPD and the FBI in the murder and coverup finally come out? Malcolm X‘s daughters are plaintiffs in a lawsuit in Federal District Court in New York City to expose the NYPD and the FBI. They have retained some of the great police misconduct litigators in the country including Chicago attorneys Flint Taylor and Ben Elson of the Peoples Law Office (PLO), Jonathan Moore and Luna Droubi in New York City, nationally recognized civil rights attorney Ben Crump and his associate Nabeha Shaer, and Newark attorney Ray Hamlin, who has represented the family for years.

Debunking The Myth: Communism Killed 100 Million People

December 14, 2025 Esha, Historic.ly. Educate! Communism, History, Nazism, Propaganda

The fundamental flaw in the “100 million deaths” narrative: it treats political ideology as a kind of metaphysical cause of death. Policies are lifted out of context, conditions are ignored, and complex histories are reduced to an inflated scoreboard where people prosecuted for crimes that would be illegal anywhere are reframed as victims of communist persecution. In that same 1997 edition of the Black Book of Communism, Courtois again asserts that “communist regimes committed crimes involving around one hundred million people, compared to around twenty-five million under Nazism.”

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.

What A Century-Old Press Service Teaches Us About Worker Power

December 12, 2025 Victoria Grieve, Power At Work. Educate! History, Journalism, Labor Movement, Media, Women, Worker Rights and Jobs

This won’t come as a surprise to union activists, but the mainstream press doesn’t always fairly represent the labor movement. That was true in 1919, the year the Federated Press (FP) was founded, and it remains true today. The FP was created to counteract the anti-labor bias in the mainstream press during the post-World War I strike wave. At the first convention of the Farmer-Labor Party, a coalition of labor activists, editors, and socialists hatched the idea for a cooperative, labor-oriented press service that would provide national and international news to subscribing labor newspapers. Imagine the Associated Press, but written by and for labor.

Chris Hedges Report: How Palestinian History Is Systemically Forgotten

December 3, 2025 Chris Hedges, Substack. Resistance Report Book Review, Chris Hedges, History, Palestine

“How do we understand now if we don’t understand 1948 or 1917 or all the things that happened during the British Mandate?” This is a central question Micaela Sahhar, author and educator, asks while dissecting her book, Find Me at the Jaffa Gate. Sahhar reframes these monumental events in Palestinian history through an intimate, granular lens of her own family’s displacement during the 20th century. Sahhar joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, sharing more personal narratives, revealing how her family lived through the pivotal moments that shaped modern Palestine.
