The Democratic establishment shuns the progressive populism that’s vital to effectively counter bogus right-wing populism. And so, the fight to defeat the fascistic GOP and the fight to overcome the power of corporate Democrats are largely the same fight.
Norman Solomon
Once, unions shook nations and promised a better future for working people. Some even sought radical social transformation. But today, their once booming voice has felt more like a whisper. Their mass mobilisation has retreated into passive bureaucracies. All while their...

Nina Turner's insight cuts to a crucial distinction in movement work: there's a difference between trying to win arguments and trying to build power. But I'd take it further—the deepest purpose of activism isn't even primarily about changing minds or mobilizing the...

The January 3 attack on Venezuela culminated in the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores. The LTS in Venezuela, together with the CRP-CI internationally, calls for active mobilization to defeat Donald Trump’s imperialist military onslaught and...

We can abolish ICE by the end of January. We can shut down any more talk of invading other countries. And we can force the immediate release of the Epstein files. By demanding congress filibuster to shut down the government until our demands are met.

While U.S. imperialism escalates sanctions, military threats, and interventionist pressure, the Islamic Republic is brutally repressing popular resistance to preserve clerical rule. Only the independent self-organization and mobilization of the Iranian working class, youth...

We taxpayers fund ICE, the Border Patrol, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s salary (and her two jets). Without congressional action by the end of January, funding for ICE will lapse.

It’s virtually impossible to predict what lies ahead for Iran and its people. But if President Donald Trump decides to take military action against Iran’s current regime, nothing good will come out of it.
C.J. Polychroniou
When the wild times we’re living through demand strong social movements, Sweden’s multitude of movements are in a lousy shape. The same goes for the Swedish union movement. The problem isn’t “all talk and no action.” There’s barely even any talk about organizing, and very few...

Pundits and politicians mocked universal childcare as a socialist fantasy—now many of them are silent as it becomes a practical reality.

Ordinary people can run society — but only if we build the structures to let them.

The Trump administration is consolidating the familiar machinery of terror of all authoritarian states. We must resist now. If we wait, it will be too late.

Zohran Mamdani is now mayor of New York City, and the Left’s old ways of relating to elected officials won’t cut it. We need a “mass governance” approach.

Trump, his sycophants, and the billionaires behind him know that with the coming midterm elections, 2026 could be their last unconstrained chance to suppress democracy and siphon off America’s wealth for themselves. So, what can you do?

I hope you can look back on 2025 as the year movements for peace and justice freed political prisoners, slowed the war machine, and helped turn the public against endless wars.

Knowing him for over half a century, I am confident that Noam’s hate for sexism, misogyny, racism, exploitation and fascism didn’t lose even a tiny fraction of its passion and clarity due to his “time spent with” Epstein and/or Bannon.

Behind the sensational headlines and photos circulating online without context lies a more complex story—one that demands we distinguish between actual evidence of wrongdoing and politically motivated character assassination.

The true strength lies in the careful combination of these tools into multi-layered, living systems—creating the conditions not just for protection, but for long-term flourishing.
Michel Rauchs
We hear it constantly: "You're too harsh on Democrats. You're helping Republicans by criticizing our side. Now is not the time—we need unity against the rising threat of fascism."
Tim Hjersted
Our ask isn't that you become a progressive. It's for both loyal Democrats and loyal Republicans to stop defending their party uncritically and to challenge the rot in both parties, especially the one they think will be more responsive to their opposition.

If we’re serious about understanding what makes a society flourish - or disintegrate - history offers plenty of lessons. The idea that hatred, exclusion, and authoritarian nationalism could lead to “greatness” is not only unsupported by the historical record - it is...

To declare oneself “left” or “right” is to join a moral tribe, often in association with political parties, seeking community and order. The cost is critical independence and intelligence.
