Why I Am On Hunger Strike In Solidarity With Pal Action Detainees

January 11, 2026 Mansoor Adayfi, Al Jazeera. , , , ,
I know this road. I have its map etched into my bones. I carry scars that won’t heal without justice, without accountability. I learned it in Guantanamo, when the only thing I could control was my own body. We were disappeared. Isolated. Forced into silence. Our words were redacted. Our letters were stamped secret. Lawyers were blocked. Time stretched and rotted. No court dates were given. No real charges were made. I was reduced to a number in an orange uniform, locked in a metal cage. The US government had already named me. “The worst of the worst.” “Terrorist.” “Enemy combatant.” Labels designed to make torture sound necessary.

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 lives of eight political prisoners in the UK are on a knife-edge and no one is talking about it. What the actual fuck is going on. Qesser Zuhrah, Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Lewie Chiaramello, Muhammed Umer Khalid. Eight human beings, held without trial for over a year, are on hunger strike across the UK, some of them for 39 days now. This week there have been protests across the country demanding that the government finally listen to their demands. On Wednesday 10th December I was outside the BBC at the Leeds demo.

December 12, 2025 E. S. Wight, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Seven people, all being held on remand pending trial for allegedly taking action in solidarity with Palestine, are on hunger strike in British prisons. Their names are Qesser Zuhrah, Amu Gib, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, T Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, and Muhammad Umer Khalid. An eighth prisoner, Lewie Chiaramello, who is diabetic, is also on a partial hunger strike, refusing food every other day at serious risk to his health. Today marks Day 40 without food for Qesser and Amu, who began the strike on November 2, the 108th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration.

Historic 12-Day March For Mumia Ends At SCI Mahanoy

December 12, 2025 Betsey Piette, Workers' World. , , , , ,
Around 150 participants filled both sides of the entrance road to State Correctional Institution (SCI) Mahanoy for a rally on Dec. 9 – the final day of the historic March for Mumia. The march demanded “Justice for Mumia Abu-Jamal, End Medical Neglect [in Pennsylvania prisons] and End Elder Abuse.” The 12-day, 103-mile march started in Philadelphia on Nov. 28 and ended in Frackville, Pennsylvania, with over 65 people walking the last three miles. A long-time supporter of Mumia, Pam Africa, with International Concerned Family and Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, reminded people that Mumia was a journalist, a teacher, and a family man, who was railroaded and never had a fair trial. She urged people to keep on fighting for justice for Mumia.

Last Wednesday, December 3, groups of stalwart campaigners gathered across the US and around the world for the 35th monthly global vigils for the closure of the “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo Bay. The “First Wednesday” vigils took place outside the White House in Washington, D.C., and in London, New York City, Brussels, Detroit, Los Angeles and Portland, OR, with former prisoner Mansoor Adayfi also holding a solo vigil in Belgrade. Further vigils took place in Cobleskill, NY on Saturday December 6, and outside the Howard Zinn Book Fair in San Francisco on Sunday December 7.

Support For Immigrants In Missouri Offers Resistance In A Red State

December 7, 2025 Brian Dolinar, Truthout. , , ,
For more than 200 days, Fernando Herrera-Cruz has been sitting in a county jail in central Missouri on immigration charges. The conditions in the jail are “very bad,” Herrera-Cruz told Truthout, with the help of a translator. “There are some guards who are very racist towards immigrants.” Herrera-Cruz, who is 25 years old, left Mexico to come to the United States to work with his brother for a roofing business in St. Louis. He was travelling in rural Missouri for a job when the trailer on his truck got a flat tire. Herrera-Cruz says a passerby stopped, began harassing him, and called the police. When local sheriff’s deputies arrived, instead of helping with the flat tire, they arrested Herrera-Cruz.

Why A Caribbean Zone Of Radical Peace Is Vital

December 3, 2025 Keston Perry, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Caribbean Sea has once again become a theater for the renewed geopolitical ambitions of a waning US empire, which is strategizing to bolster its last bastion of hegemony. The arrival of the nuclear-equipped USS Gerald R. Ford on November 15, 2025—the largest and most advanced aircraft carrier, spearheading the most intense military deployment in the region in decades- signals a stark attempt to reaffirm US domination. It reminds us of the Caribbean’s central position in the history of empires and why our only option is to resist these machinations through the pursuit of a radical peace and working-class unity.

General Strike In Alberta Possible

November 2, 2025 Gabriela Calugay-Casuga, Rabble. , , , ,
Workers across Alberta have begun the process of organizing a general strike after the province legislated an end to the teacher’s strike using the notwithstanding clause, according to the Alberta Federation of Labour.  Teachers across the province were on strike from October 6 until the government passed Bill 2 early Tuesday morning, forcing teachers to be back in classrooms the next day. Teachers were calling for better pay, more per-student funding in public education and smaller class sizes.  “Although this legislation will end the strike and lift the lockout, it does not end the underfunding and deterioration of teaching and learning conditions—our schools will not be better for it,” the union wrote on their website. 

How To Build A Union Culture That Welcomes Immigrant Members

October 31, 2025  Dan La Botz, Luis Feliz Leon, and Natascha Elena Uhlmann, Labor Notes. , , ,
Here is some basic advice for union officers and activists who are new to working with immigrant members. You probably already know that immigrant workers want pretty much the same things any unionized worker wants. A decent job. A living wage. Respect and trust. Some measure of control over their lives. The other thing you should know is: Don’t presume to know anything. Forget stereotypes. Approach immigrant workers in an open, straightforward manner and see what you can learn. Many immigrants may have as much to teach you about the labor movement as they have to learn. Some may have been involved in labor, political, or even revolutionary movements in their native countries.

As Trump Escalates ICE Raids, Local Community Defense Networks Grow

October 18, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
The Trump administration has pledged to continue ramping up the controversial operations to detain and deport immigrants. Yet, as his threats intensify, the movement in defense of immigrant rights is rapidly growing and taking shape from the grassroots. In Chicago, people are standing up to federal agents armed and ready to deploy tear gas and pepper spray. Army veterans in Portland are urging federal troops to disobey Trump’s orders, and in Colorado, residents are rejecting the conversion of several private prisons into ICE detention centers.

How Chicago Residents Are Resisting ICE Invasion Of The City

October 18, 2025 Danny Postel, In These Times. , , , , , ,
If there’s one thing President Donald Trump and the people of Chicago might agree on, it’s that America’s third-largest city is currently a ​“war zone.” But for most Chicagoans, it’s the Trump administration that has made it so, with its military-style ​“Operation Midway Blitz,” led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and ​“Operation At Large,” which Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched in Los Angeles and brought to the Windy City in September. “I have lived here for 28 years and I have never felt so profoundly unsafe until this week,” one resident recently posted on social media.

Venezuela Resistance Meeting In New York City Sets A New Tone

September 30, 2025 Sara Flounders and Tom Burke, Workers' World. , , , , ,
A packed Assembly Hall at the prestigious Riverside Church in Manhattan was draped in Venezuelan colors and flags of resistance on Thursday, September 25. The exciting solidarity event with Venezuela resounded with drumming and chants throughout the evening. A well-organized security ensured that the meeting went forth without disruption or interference. The September 25 event was a determined public meeting of forces who refuse to be silent in the face of President Trump’s violent military attacks on Venezuela and threatened repression of left forces in the U.S. The solidarity meeting with the Venezuelan delegation to the United Nations General Assembly High Level Session was the initiative of Dozthor Zurlent of the Simon Bolivar Institute and William Camacaro of Bolivarian Circle in New York.

‘We’re Very Concerned About What The US Is Doing Around Venezuela’

September 29, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , ,
Russia is deeply concerned about what the US is doing around Venezuelan waters, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said at a press conference on Saturday. “We are certainly very alarmed by what the US has organized now in what are currently international waters, but near Venezuelan territorial waters,” Lavrov said. The foreign minister specified that he spoke with his Venezuelan counterpart, Yván Gil, about the matter the previous day. “The situation is truly serious, because there are significant armed and naval forces there, including a nuclear submarine, and there are direct threats of military intervention to destroy ‘drug cartels’ and wage war on drug trafficking in general,” Lavrov said in reference to the new euphemisms used by the White House to legitimize a military action aiming at regime change in Venezuela.

Chris Hedges: We Are All Antifa Now

September 25, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. , , , ,
Trump’s designation of the amorphous group antifa, which has no formal organization or structure, as a terrorist organization permits the state to charge us all as terrorists. The point is not to go after members of antifa, short for anti-fascist. It is to go after the last vestiges of dissent. When Barack Obama oversaw the coordinated national campaign to shut down the Occupy encampments, antifa — so named because they dress in black, obscure their faces, move as a unified mass and seek physical confrontations with police – was the excuse. “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.
