Gewerkschaft: Generalstreik in Frankreich am 5. November

(October 21, 2026)

Frankreichs Gewerkschaftsbund CGT hat im Zuge der aktuellen Sozialproteste zu einem Generalstreik am 5. November aufgerufen.

Jetzt sei die Zeit für Streiks gekommen. Das Land befinde sich in einer Krise, die soziale Lage habe sich für eine Mehrheit der Bevölkerung klar verschlechtert.

AI Under Control

Bring the World Along

• International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.

• No AI in Nuclear Command and Control: Humans, and only humans, should decide whether to use nuclear weapons. That is already US policy: Biden and Xi agreed to it in 2024. We must make it permanent, cover early warning and decision support, keep frontier AI out of the chain, and get every nuclear nation to sign on.

Safeguards Everyone Can Count On

• Independent Audits: Outside experts test frontier AI before release. Even leading AI companies now accept this.

• Protect Whistleblowers: Insiders who sound the alarm should get legal protection, back pay, and rewards.

• Hands Off State Laws: No weak federal law should block states from protecting their people more strongly.

• Be Ready: We need a national AI emergency plan, with regular drills across government.

• Get AI Money Out of the Fight: Full disclosure of AI-industry political spending, including through super PACs and other dark money entities.

Island hat zu Recht „Nein“ zur EU gesagt

War der Beitritt zur EU vor zwanzig oder dreißig Jahren schon eine schlechte Idee, so ist er heute eine unendlich viel schlechtere. Denn die EU von 2026 ist nicht einmal mehr die EU von 2008. Die oligarchische Maschinerie des Blocks – die Sparpolitik, die Technokratie, die Verachtung der Demokratie – hat sich zu etwas weitaus Monströserem gewandelt: zu einer voll entwickelten Kriegsmaschine. Eine Einschätzung von Thomas Fazi zum Ausgang des Referendums in Island zur EU.

The Need for Accountability: Israel Must Be Expelled from the United Nations

(October 28, 2024)

It is of vital importance that member states of the UN start taking immediate steps towards expelling Israel under the UN Charter. Expulsion from the UN is not only warranted in this case, but is imperative, as it is the only way to ensure the legitimacy of international law, and of the UN itself. Should expulsion prove politically difficult, due to the veto power Israel’s allies – in particular, the US – wield in the UNSC, member states should, at least as a first step, de facto suspend Israel from the UNGA, as was done in the case of South Africa.

California Billionaire Tax Act

Our solution: The California Billionaire Tax Act
We’re calling on California’s billionaires to step up and pay a one-time, emergency 5% tax to prevent the collapse of California healthcare and help fund California public K-14 education and state food assistance programs. This would protect healthcare jobs and ensure working people and families can get the care they need. The tax would be paid only by Californians worth more than $1 billion — which is about 200 people who hold a combined wealth of $2 trillion.

Meeks Statement on Senate Passage of His Iran War Powers Resolution

Washington, DC — Representative Gregory W. Meeks, Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, today issued a statement following the Senate’s approval of his War Powers Resolution which passed the House of Representatives earlier this month. The Senate passed the Resolution 50-48.

Having passed both chambers as a Concurrent Resolution, this measure does not go to the president’s desk for signature. Under the War Powers Resolution, however, it is binding on the president and directs him to cease hostilities against Iran.

“With the Senate passage of my Iran War Powers Resolution, both chambers have now made clear that the president cannot continue this war of choice and must cease all hostilities against Iran. Regardless of what President Trump says, this measure is binding under the War Powers Resolution, and I will explore all legal avenues to ensure the Executive complies with the will of Congress.

For the MOU to hold and result in a lasting peace, we must restrict aid to Israel immediately & make it clear that we will not defend them should Iran opt to strike in response to Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.

Israel has not responded to our verbal & written demands—that is not going to change, unless we change it by taking action.

Israel claims sovereignty & continues to threaten our peace deal, yet they rely on us to bail them out. This is calculated.

We have to respond accordingly and stop this cycle once and for all.

Lead with action: remove their leverage, otherwise they will not take us seriously.

An open SOH & peace in the region have to be our focus. Israel is playing spoiler—we must limit their ability to do so.

Persian Gulf Strait Authority says vessels allowed to cross Hormuz without fees

Iran’s Persian Gulf Strait Authority has announced that vessels seeking to cross the Strait of Hormuz will be granted access under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding for 60 days.

In a statement on X, the authority explained that vessels will need to submit their requests to cross at least 48 hours before wanting to depart.

The authority said that during the 60 days, no fees will be charged to vessels.

We can strengthen our chances of this deal holding by cutting all military/intel assistance to Israel, they took every opportunity to tank this deal & will likely do so again unless we take action.

We should also quietly get our troops out of the bases in the Gulf that can be reached by Iran. This ensures Iranian hardliners can’t strike us to drag us back into the fight.

Take away every factor that we can control that could force us back into the war on Israel or Iran’s terms.

Set all conditions that we can control in our favor.

It’s all talk. Just withhold foreign aid to Israel for a month and they’ll stop bombing their neighbors – instant peace, the Strait of Hormuz can be opened, and gas drops $2 a gallon. Israel has been, and continues to be, the biggest welfare recipient from American tax payers.

The Case for California’s Billionaire Wealth Tax

(May 26, 2026)

A California ballot initiative that will be put to voters in November would tax just 5 percent of billionaires’ fortunes over five years. This trailblazing wealth tax would be a small (for the ultrawealthy) but important (for everyone else) step toward raising needed tax revenue and curbing the state’s runaway inequality.

The billionaire class in California includes roughly 250 households, a mere 0.001 percent of the state’s families. Yet its wealth now amounts to more than half of California’s entire annual economic output.

This means that if these billionaires spent all of their wealth, they could buy more than half of the goods and services produced in a year in the entire state.

Trump asks Iran to release 8 women ahead of negotiations

“To the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. I am sure that they will respect the fact that you did so. Please do them no harm! Would be a great start to our negotiations!!!” he said on Truth Social with a screenshot of photos of eight women.

One of the pictured women has previously been identified by Fox News and others as Bita Hemmati, a female protester tied to the January 2026 uprising in Tehran. It’s unclear who the other women are, but Trump has criticized the Iranian regime for the imprisonment and execution of protestors.
