IN PICS: hundreds arrested at Palestine protest outside Labour conference

Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the government’s ‘proscription‘ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.

More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for ‘terror’ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.

Free the Sumud 4 Now!

Four Global Sumud Flotilla activists have been imprisoned in Tunisia since March 2026 for their role in organizing flotillas to Gaza.

Humanity and solidarity are not crimes. Demand the immediate release of the detained flotilla activists.

Wael Naouar, Nabil Channoufi, Ghassan Henchiri and Ghassan Boughdiri — participants in the Global Sumud Flotilla — have been held without trial in Mornaguia Prison, Tunisia, for more than six months. All four are currently on hunger strike. Wael Naouar has been on hunger strike for 35 days and is reportedly in critical condition, facing the risk of organ failure.

It takes less than one minute to demand their release.

Global Sumud Flotilla Holds Tunisian Authorities Fully Liable for the Fate of Imprisoned Hunger Strikers as Wael Naouar Enters Semi-Comatose State

TUNIS – The Global Sumud Flotilla issues an emergency notice to the international community as actions launch worldwide today: Steering Committee member Wael Naouar is on his deathbed inside Mornaguia Prison. Following a prison visit, his family and legal team reported that Naouar has slipped into a semi-comatose state, suffering a serious physical breakdown, with unrelenting cardiac and stomach pain and a severe loss of vision and hearing. His father stated plainly: „Wael is on the brink of death.“

Naouar, who initiated his hunger strike 37 days ago, is being held alongside three fellow Flotilla organizers: Ghassan Henchiri, Ghassan Boughdiri, and Nabil Chennoufi. All four are engaged in an uncompromising, open-ended hunger strike against their prolonged pre-trial detention.

On 25th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks, Condemnation of Global ‘War on Terror’ That Has Killed Millions

International human rights campaigners, United Nations experts, journalists, and anti-war activists marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the US by paying tributes to the thousands of lives lost on that day while condemning what followed: an unparalleled expansion of state surveillance, crackdowns on dissent, arbitrary detention, torture, and catastrophic wars that cost trillions of dollars and millions of lives.

Mourning the lasting impact of “those horrific acts of violence” perpetrated in the US a quarter-century ago, a group of more than 40 UN experts said in a joint statement on Friday that “we equally acknowledge the millions of other victims worldwide of terrorist attacks, excessive counter-terrorism responses, and conflicts in the name of countering terrorism.”

Complicit Coverage

The titles of two new books about Israel’s genocide in Gaza succinctly state their shared argument: Corporate, mainstream media have been complicit in the horrific violence the Zionist state has inflicted and continues to inflict on Palestinians in Gaza. Print and online media, as well as cable news, have sold the genocide to their readers and audiences, turning reality on its head by portraying the Israeli perpetrators as victims of bloodthirsty terrorists and their Palestinian victims as bloodthirsty terrorists, terrorist sympathizers, or terrorists-to-be. As Deputy Speaker of the Knesset Nissim Vaturi said in a televised 2025 interview, “any child” born in Gaza is “already a terrorist from the moment of his birth.”

Adam Johnson, a media analyst and co-host of the podcast Citations Needed, and Robin Andersen, professor emerita of media studies at New York’s Fordham University and contributor to various independent media, have meticulously documented how U.S. media enable Israel’s mass killings. Their reviews of print, online, and cable coverage illustrate how media have acted as virtual mouthpieces for Israel’s government and its military as well as for the U.S. State Department.

Der Republik fehlt eine Partei

(December 14, 2015)

„Die Grünen“ und „Die Linke“ werden von oben, über deren Kader, durch die transatlantische Atlantikbrücke gelenkt. Alle derzeitigen Bundestagsparteien sind in Überparteien auf E.U.-Ebene organisiert. Eine tatsächliche Opposition findet parlamentarisch nicht statt. Und außerparlamentarisch ist die Opposition schwach, verwirrt und in großen Teilen ebenfalls nicht mehr verfassungstreu und schwafelt genauso von „Europa“ wie anno dünnemal der Pfaffe auf der Kanzel zum ausgeplünderten Pöbel über dessen Heil nach dem Tod.

Allen, die sich als klassische Sozialdemokratinnen und Sozialdemokraten in der Tradition von Rosa und Karl, oder mindestens Willy Brandt sehen, alle die sich als links, sozialistisch, emanzipatorisch, Bürgerrechtler oder liberalistisch sehen, rate ich dringend jetzt die Faxen und das ganze Geschwafel zu lassen und zur Tat zu schreiten.

Ohne Partei wird in der Republik nichts besser werden. Und so oder so muss es eine Partei für die Republik sein, und nicht gegen sie.

‘We Are in a Constitutional Crisis’: Congress Urged to Sue Trump to End Iran War

With no end in sight to President Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran, Congress is being urged to take legal action to bring the conflict to an end.

Joint Letter to Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith Opposing Further U.S.-Israel Defense Integration

Dear Chairmen Wicker and Rogers and Ranking Members Reed and Smith,

As you enter into conference to resolve the differences between the House-passed version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2027 (H.R.8800) and the pending Senate bill (S.4784), We, the undersigned U.S. organizations, strongly urge you to reject the entrenchment of U.S. and Israeli defense collaboration, which goes against U.S. national interests and values, and would expand the risk of U.S. complicity in, and exposure to, human rights violations, war crimes, and genocide.

Specifically, we are deeply concerned by Section 219 in the House NDAA and Section 1217 in the Senate version, which establish a new U.S. Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative aimed at accelerating joint research, development, and integration of Israeli-origin and jointly developed defense technologies into U.S. military systems and programs of record. This would expand U.S-Israeli military integration across some of the most sensitive domains of emerging technology, including quantum computing, AI and autonomous systems, cyber and electronic warfare, directed energy, and defense industrial base co-production, while expediting pathways from R&D into procurement.

56 US groups urge Congress to drop Israel defence ties provision

The provision would deepen cooperation between the US and Israeli defence sectors by accelerating joint military technology development and other partnerships. The bill passed the House of Representatives in July and awaits Senate action.

The provision of the 2027 National Defence Authorisation Act, known as Section 219, seeks to set up frameworks for joint ventures, licensing agreements and US-based co-production partnerships with the Israeli industry.

In Thursday‘s letter addressed to leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, 56 groups said deeper integration with Israel‘s defence sector would be „exceptionally dangerous“ and urged lawmakers to remove the provision.

DSA Statement on the New State Department Report on Cuba

(August 10, 2026)

We are being depicted as fanatics for building a world where people live in peace, safe from bombs; where no child goes hungry; where no family has to worry that their lives will be ripped apart by ICE; and where no one has to suffer from lack of housing or healthcare. They depict us as such because they are afraid that our ideas are not fringe demands. These are the demands that millions of Americans have already committed to fighting for at the ballot box and in the streets.

Despite Rubio’s attempt to smear us, his report admits that DSA does not organize on behalf of the Cuban Government, only of its own accord.

Socialists Can Never Win — Until We Do

We all know the narrative by now: socialists are too radical, fringe, and unpopular to win any kind of lasting power. “Enjoy your time in the sun, lefties, because any moment now the hammer of reasonable, moderate thought will come crashing down and send you back to the depths of political obscurity with your collective tail tucked between your legs.”

Variations of this line are repeated constantly across the country by national media and prominent members of both parties. They repeat it like a mantra, both because they need it to be true and because they would rather eat glass than honestly engage with our ideas. Unfortunately for them, the recent streak of socialist victories has proven there is immense hunger for a working-class movement in this country. In fact, DSA may be more popular among Democratic voters than the Democratic Party itself. One out of three Democratic voters now identify as democratic socialists, and even among those who don’t, two-thirds would be comfortable voting for one.

‘Organized People Won’: Aisha Wahab Defeats Millions in AIPAC Spending to Win US House Race

Wahab, who ran on slashing prescription drug costs and ending forever wars, will represent California’s 14th Congressional District until at least January. In November, Wahab will face Bay Area Rapid Transit board member Melissa Hernandez again in a race for a full two-year term in the US House. Tuesday’s special election was significantly closer than earlier primary contests, signaling a highly competitive race later this year.

Our Revolution, a progressive advocacy organization that backed Wahab, called her win “a national model for how progressives can defeat big-money outside groups and build a Democratic Party rooted in working people.” The United Democracy Project, AIPAC’s super PAC, spent $2.5 million on the contest in an effort to boost Hernandez.

‘The Fight Has Just Begun’: Angie Nixon Delivers Shocking Upset Win in Florida

In a surprise upset described variously as “stunning” and “a shocker” in headlines, State Rep. Angie Nixon won the Democratic primary for the open US Senate seat in Florida on Tuesday, defeating Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, the former national security official who many presumed would sail to victory with the support of the party establishment and a massive cash advantage.

Nixon, a former union organizer and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, will now face Sen. Ashley Moody, whom Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to the seat after former Sen. Marco Rubio became Secretary of State, in the general election.

Her leadership is rooted in lived experience—watching her mom work two jobs to get by, attending public schools, and losing her cousin to gun violence. Angie is running to lower costs, raise wages, and build a people-powered government that puts families first—not greedy billionaires.

Wahlwerbespot: Die Partei die es nicht gibt

(February 9, 2025)

Wie sieht‘s denn aus mit dem, worüber keiner mehr reden will – mit dem Geld?
Wer hat acht Billionen Euro Geldvermögen der „Privaten Haushalte“?
Du vielleicht?
Dein Nachbar?
Deine Freundin?
Deine Chefin?
Wirklich?

Wie sieht es mit den weiteren acht Billionen Euro Geldvermögen aus, von den „nichtfinanziellen Kapitalgesellschaften“, den Aktiengesellschaften?
Schon mal etwas davon gehört?
Wurde Dir schon mal ein Kaffee ausgegeben davon?
Wo ist das alles? Wo geht das alles hin?
Und wer hat das verdient…?

Wie merkwürdig, dass von allen Leuten, die sich heutzutage links nennen, keiner mehr über das System des Geldes, oder wie man früher sagte, Vorsicht – (umguck) – KAPITALISMUS redet.
Ist das eine Art kosmisches Gesetz? Eine Art Europhilie? Eine wie auch immer geartete Vergesslichkeit der Genösschen?
Oder ist der Kapitalismus heutzutage ganz besonders unantastbar – weil das prokontinental ist?
Weil man damit andere Völker auch so prima erpressen kann, zum Verkauf ihres Staatseigentums, ihrer Infrastruktur, um sie dann bis auf‘s Blut auszupressen, bis über den Hauptstädten dieses Kontinents schon der Rauch aufsteigt?

„Gemach, Gemach“, „um Himmels Willen“, werden jetzt viele rufen und sagen: „D-Mark! D-Mark!“

India’s Cockroach Protests End as Modi Government Bows to Demands

Hundreds of thousands of these cockroach protesters had been assembling for over a month at Jantar Mantar, which is less than half a mile south of Connaught Place, the central market in the heart of Delhi. They were demanding the resignation of Pradhan, who is also a senior leader in India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, the party of Modi. The protesters at Jantar Mantar consider Pradhan to be responsible for failing to prevent “paper leaks”—the unauthorized release of highly competitive national college entrance examinations, often hours and sometimes minutes before the exam is due.

The Jantar Mantar movement emerged in May in response to a leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), the countrywide medical entrance exam. Reports suggest at least a dozen students across the country died by suicide after the tests were canceled.
