GERMAN WEAPONS ARE KILLING PEOPLE IN PALESTINE. WE ARE RESISTING!

With the support of the German government, Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Day after day, innocent people continue to be systematically killed. We refuse to allow this to continue and join the global Palestinian resistance against the colonial Zionist project. In cooperation with national and international groups, we have already staged peaceful, disruptive protests and will continue to do so until the German government ends its complicity in Israeli crimes against Palestinians.

Together, we stand against the crimes committed by the government and the arms industry!

Join us in peaceful resistance

From France to Italy, Belgium to Greece, student protests spread across Europe

The unrest is not being organised as a single Europe-wide movement. The grievances are different from country to country, but the concerns are strikingly similar. Students are increasingly questioning whether governments are putting enough money into education at a time when schools and universities are struggling with staff shortages, infrastructure problems and higher costs.

03.10.2026

Die Konzertkundgebung „Unzwingbar – Kein Bock auf Krieg und Wehrpflicht“ am 2. Oktober 2026 in Berlin hat ein starkes Zeichen für Zusammenhalt, gegen Aufrüstung und gegen die Wehrpflicht gesetzt.

Mehr als 20.000 zumeist junge Menschen haben vor dem Brandenburger Tor in den Abend hinein zu Musik von K.I.Z, Disarstar, Dritte Wahl, Goldie 333 und Mieze getanzt und protestiert. Bis nach 21 Uhr wurde der Platz vor dem Brandenburger Tor immer noch voller.

Trump’s approval plunges into the 20s, and Republicans give up

An American Research Group poll published this week found Trump’s approval at just 29 percent — a new low for his presidency and a flashing warning sign for the congressional Republicans being dragged beneath the waves by the president’s plummeting popularity.

On Thursday, 152 countries voted in favour of a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly, rejecting the US‘s decision to prevent the Palestinian delegation from participating in the upcoming UN General Assembly session in New York City.

‘Flashing Red Warning Sign’ for Lawmakers: Poll Shows Voters Reject US-Israel Military Integration

A new poll of US voters published on Tuesday offers a warning for congressional lawmakers backing a plan to deepen military ties between the United States and Israel, finding that a clear majority of voters oppose the proposal—which some critics have called “treasonous.”

The Data for Progress survey of 1,217 likely US voters—conducted August 3–7 for Demand Progress and the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Project—revealed that 61% of respondents oppose legislation in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for 2027 that would integrate Israeli weapons companies into the Pentagon at a level exceeding that of any other country. That figure rose to 78% among Democrats and 73% among independents.

Senate panel votes to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress

Republican chairman Rand Paul has said he will send the committee’s recommendation straight to the Justice Department, bypassing a full Senate vote in a break with precedent that’s likely to set up a high-stakes legal and political test for the Trump administration.

Vice President JD Vance will now first need to sign off on the committee’s circumvention of long-established rules due to his constitutional role as president of the Senate. Then it would be up to the Justice Department to decide whether to bring formal charges.

4 House Republicans rebel against Trump, vote with Dems to block Iran war powers

Thursday‘s vote is largely symbolic, and the resolution will not go to Trump’s desk for signature if the Senate chamber were also to pass it.

But Democrats‘ war powers effort underscores that the war in Iran is continuing to divide Republicans, several of whom have complained the White House has not given enough visibility to Congress about the military’s actions.

Just 34% of voters approve of Trump‘s handling of Iran, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.

House again passes resolution seeking to halt military action in Iran as some Republicans defect

The 214-208 vote requiring congressional approval for the war comes as the Senate is expected to consider a similar resolution later Thursday morning. Though the votes forced by Democrats are largely symbolic, they are meant as a strong signal to the Republican president that his support on Capitol Hill is chipping away as the war drags on and lawmakers in both parties have questioned his administration’s endgame.

The war has had “no clear mission, no strategy, no end goal,” said Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat who led the resolution on the House floor.

‘Huge Win for the Constitution’ as House Finally Passes Iran War Powers Resolution

Raucous applause erupted in the House of Representatives on Wednesday after US lawmakers passed a war powers resolution aimed at ending Donald Trump’s illegal war of choice against Iran—although skeptics cautioned that the measure will likely have little impact on the actions of a president who has habitually shown utter contempt for the rule of law.

House lawmakers voted 215-208, with 7 legislators not voting, in favor of H.Con.Res.86, introduced in April by Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and cosponsored by Reps. James Himes (D-Conn.), Adam Smith (D-Wash.), Gabe Amo (D-RI), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).

Asked About Stephen Miller, DNC Staffer Happy to Confirm: ‘I Stand by Calling Him an Ugly Fuck’

“I said what I said.”

That was Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Paulina Mangubat’s statement Thursday evening after her response to White House adviser Stephen Miller’s smear against Democratic US Senate candidate James Talarico of Texas went viral earlier this week.

After Miller posted a picture on Wednesday of Talarico with the comment that Democrats in Texas had nominated “their first transgender Senate candidate,” Mangubat, who serves as the DNC’s content and creative director and is behind many of the committee’s social media posts, had a concise response.

Meeks Statement on Republicans Pulling Iran War Powers Vote

(May 21, 2026)

„Let’s be clear: Republicans pulled this vote because they knew they were going to lose it. They know this war is a political and strategic disaster. They know that as Americans head into Memorial Day weekend paying over 4.50 a gallon at the pump, they cannot go home and explain they voted to keep this war going. So instead of casting that vote, they ran from it.

„This is not over. When the House returns, Republicans will have no choice but to take this vote. Democrats will not stop fighting until Congress reasserts its constitutional authority and this war is brought to an end.“

Democratic lawmakers are on the verge of passing a resolution to end President Trump’s war with Iran — with some help from a steadily growing group of Republicans.

In the House and Senate, resolutions under the 1973 War Powers Act this past week saw more members of Trump’s party crossing the aisle to vote in favor of the so-far failed measures, with others voicing their support for a future resolution.

“This new aggression has united us more and elevated the honor, dignity, and anti-imperialist spirit of a people already recognized around the world for their brave resistance to any form of subordination to the empire,” Díaz-Canel said.

Cuban legislator Mariela Castro, Raúl’s granddaughter, told rallygoers that “we are prepared for combat.”

“No one is going to kidnap him. I can assure you of that,” she said, alluding to the US invasion and abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on dubious narco-terrorism charges earlier this year. “Neither him nor anyone else.”
