Pressed for evidence against Mahmoud Khalil, government cites its power to deport people for beliefs
Rather, Rubio wrote Khalil could be expelled for his beliefs. He said that while Khalil’s activities were “otherwise lawful,” letting him remain in the country would undermine “U.S. policy to combat anti-Semitism around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States.”

Germany: the youth, Die Linke and the class struggle
Young people are looking for change, a dignified life and meaningful and secure work. This desire for a better society must sooner or later turn into class struggle. The electoral success of Die Linke has revealed the militant mood among young people. Shortly before the election, Die Linke was able to strengthen its reputation as a force for social justice and, above all, as a champion against racism and reactionary migration policies. The vote in the Bundestag between the CDU and AFD in favour of a racist asylum bill sent a shockwave through the youth. Die Linke countered this by saying that it would ‘take to the barricades’ against racism, austerity, rearmament and war. This was the central factor that enabled Die Linke to achieve its surprising electoral success. This promise to fight inspired a broad section of young people to get behind Die Linke. The party was able to build on the militant energy with which hundreds of thousands demonstrated against Friedrich Merz (CDU) and the AfD. Die Linke is perceived as a militant party that opposes the open racism and brutal austerity policies of the established parties in Berlin. In doing so, it has been able to tap into the concerns of a large proportion of young people. Yet Die Linke has been in a deep crisis for years. …

Gustavo Petro’s Final Year
The first left-wing government in Colombia’s recent history enters its fourth and final year with the same sense of instability that has accompanied it from the start, a result of its lack of a parliamentary majority and the relentless pressure from economic, media, and judicial elites. Some of the reforms promised in 2022 have been approved, while others remain stalled in a Congress controlled by the traditional parties, and the goal of “total peace” with domestic armed groups remains a dream. The outcome of the 2026 elections will depend on the final balance of the government’s reformist agenda, Petro’s ability to mobilize his supporters, and the conservative opposition’s capacity to unite behind candidates. The former M-19 guerrilla turned president is well aware that the streets are the battleground where he can outmaneuver conservPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

General Secretary of the Communist Party of Turkey Kemal Okuyan: Boycott, Republic and Revolutionary Stance
It is impossible for the discussions on “”Who’s part of the boycott, why are they included, and who’s in and who’s out of its scope?” not to shift towards “where does the capital start, where it ends”. One cannot dodge the truth. The leadership of CHP (the bourgeois main opposition party) can tweak its stance all it wants. Even some can keep dreaming of a united front against fascism with TÜSİAD (the principle organization of big capital in Turkey), and the government can keep shouting “they are waging a war on our national and domestic capital” — but the seal is already broken. Bourgeois politicians will scramble to seal things back up, but we won’t allow it. There’s no such thing as good or bad capital. Period. “

The Russian oligarchy and the politics of social catastrophe
While Trump is interested in a deal that will allow the US to exploit the raw material resources of Ukraine and Russia at the expense of its imperialist rivals in Europe, he is increasingly dissatisfied with Putin’s dragging out the negotiations. Now, these tensions are exacerbated by a global trade war. A peace treaty, even if it is reached, no matter how much verbal guarantees and ostensible actions accompany it, will only be a temporary truce. Unless the working class intervenes independently, it will inevitably lead to a new war, even larger and more barbaric than the one that has been going on for the past three years. Moreover, the global trade war unleashed by Trump’s tariffs further deepens the political and economic instability of all capitalist governments and intensifies the global drive to war. In order to understand the class dynamics and the way forward for the working class in this volatile situation, it is important to review the current state of the economy and social relations in Russia.

UAW President Shawn Fain explains why he supports Trump's tariffs
Fain referred to last Wednesday's announcement of global tariffs as "reckless," but firmly supports an earlier round of tariffs on the U.S. auto industry. Those tariffs both help and hurt U.S. auto companies, because they produce so much in Canada and Mexico. Auto parts typically cross the border multiple times as a car is assembled. GM has already said it will move some production back to Indiana — but Stellantis ordered layoffs.

Ukraine is a capital of freedom!
These are the very theses that every Ukrainian can see in the space of the own city. Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the authorities have begun to strengthen the theses about freedom and democracy. It is worth noting that during the times of "independence" in Ukraine there has never been an influential opposition. And the opposition, as is known, is an indicator that there is at least some kind of struggle between certain sides in the state.

Urban Ore Workers Fight for Fairness!
For nearly two years, workers at Berkeley’s only remaining salvage yard, Urban Ore, have been bargaining for their first union contract. Urban Ore workers unionized with the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) to advocate for living wages and better working conditions in their shop, and to join other workers in a growing labor movement that is fighting for the working class. But over the last two years, the owners of Urban Ore have focused their energy and money on fighting our union rather than bargaining in good faith for a fair contract.

Throwing Washington Overboard By Daniel De Leon ( During Spanish–American War)
Capitalism, threatened from behind by the Social Revolution, turns around to the uprising Proletariat, and with a sanctimonious scowl invokes the past as a sacred thing, to be worshipped and bowed down before. What?! Does the Socialist Movement want to break with the “time-honored” habits of the land? What?! Shall the principles of Americanism, consecrated by the Revolutionary Fathers, be done away with? What?! In horror the Pillars of Society throw up their arms, and the conviction leaps from their eyes that, as the Socialists have no reverence for the past, they must be wiped out. Nevertheless, we have again and again maintained that there is nothing more infidel than Capitalism; all its gods, its idols, its principles are readily sacrificed whenever it can thereby turn its sacred things into money.

One more thing, organizing shouldn't involve paying money for anything other than your own expenses for projects your team is doing. If there's something concrete they want, they can set up a fundraiser for it.

I know these parties want you to pay them for newspapers and have a subscription model, but I really think they don't deserve it. More like… if it's a volunteer effort and I am volunteering I am already paying with my time.

If they want to generate money they have to produce something.

Tbh the PSL is at least good at campaigning, their numbers in the 2024 election were like the highest any ML party has ever had in the US. Their mutual aid/outreach stuff is also a step in the right direction.

That said… the protest movement in the US has obviously failed to seize public anger and direct it into decisive action which can meet the urgency of the situation, and PSL, however much I respect them compared to the DSA (who don't even bring the kind of protest energy the PSL does, let alone anything more concrete), is not about to carry out the actions that are called for. We absolutely need new organizations devoted to that, and if I had the money I would put it towards defensive local organizing and decisive blows against the organs of state engaged in genocide. I feel a fucking fire inside which isn't satisfied by marching and making demands of those evil bastards in charge who won't listen, and it's not satisfied by posting about it either. The frustration that comes with knowing there are others who feel the same, but almost exclusively encountering people who are unwilling to act is profound. I'm sick of wasting time.

I'll also add, and this is a bit mean, but it's difficult to think of a greater indictment of the American opposition than the fact that Trump did more to wreck the US economy in like a day than people who spent over a year protesting and calling for strikes and (very) temporarily shutting down roads & ports with protests did. Like, nobody can say we didn't have time to pool resources for something big. Nobody can say we didn't have time to make real plans to take out arms factories and damage the infrastructure of genocide financiers on a large scale. Thinking about the kind of stuff the American orgs didn't want to do because they wanted to avoid breaking the law genuinely pisses me off.

That might be a culmination of features built into capitalism itself all coming to a conclusion. I wouldn't necessarily compare what protestors can do at current levels of organization with what capitalism can do to itself.

What I'm not seeing that much of is a real effort to prepare for an action which could cause damage like that. In the time the protestors have been protesting, we could at least have built something able to do much more damage than we did.

I think the South Korean people would have had an allergic reaction to that.
The South Korean techies would likely have fucked off to China, who would have granted them a special economic zone tailored for their needs, to Vietnam and Taiwan.
The Korean entertainment industry would have withered away, with some artists going to western countries.

A Demonstrator’s Guide to Lockdowns and Blockades
A complete guide to assembling and employing lockboxes and other means of blockading. There is a broad spectrum of tactics to choose from between simply holding up a protest sign and setting things on fire. If you are looking to intensify a pressure campaign or to stand your ground more effectively when challenged, consider the following options. From the vantage point of 2025, more than two decades after the original version of this guide was published in the book Recipes for Disaster, civil disobedience has become somewhat more dangerous as far-right politicians have put more laws on the books and police and other fascists have become less concerned with preserving human life. Civil disobedience presumes that your adversary is constrained from inflicting permanent harm upon you. In some cases, if you are prepared to get arrested, you may be able to accomplish a great deal more by remaining mobile and risk-tolerant rather than engaging in an activity that is scripted to end in arrest. Nonetheless, there are still many regions and contexts in which the following information will be applicable.

KM On The NTF-ELCAC Threats Against Underground Organizations’ Protests: Philippines
Yesterday, the NTF-ELCAC (National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict) chided the revolutionary organizations for holding mobilizations for the occasion of the New People’s Army’s 56th anniversary. The fascist, anti-people, and faux-patriotic Task Force impotently wails at the actions held in UP and PUP on March 29. Not surprisingly, the NTF-ELCAC claimed as a sign of weakness the fact that the protests were held in-campus instead of more public venues. The NTF further states that they will elicit the support of the PNP in investigating the mobilizations. In doing so, they assert that they will root out “recruitment” and “radicalization” while respecting academic freedom The NTF pretends to care about academic freedom out of fear of incurring further political setbacks. But it must be clear that academic freedom is fundamental, it cannot have half-stops especially so in the name of the preservation of a corrupt social order and state.Post too long.

South Africa's white Afrikaner separatists want Trump's help to become state
Three senior Orania officials interviewed by Reuters were vague about the help they sought in the U.S. They said they were not seeking handouts but wanted investment to build houses to keep up with its 15% population growth, infrastructure and energy independence that it has almost half-achieved with solar.

Guinea Sets Date for Constitutional Referendum Amid Political Tensions
General Mamadi Doumbouya, the junta leader, had previously declared 2025 as a “crucial electoral year” for returning to constitutional order but failed to provide a clear timeline. The missed December 31, 2024 deadline for launching the democratic transition led to widespread anger, with protests bringing the capital, Conakry, to a standstill.

Trump administration celebrates rise in self-deportations: ‘We’re seeing sky-high levels of reverse migration’
By losing their legal status, many migrants will find themselves without work, and some may want to return to their home countries. However, the majority will likely remain in the United States despite their fears. Lawyers caution that the decision to leave voluntarily should be carefully weighed, as the official narrative surrounding a potential return may be misleading.

Democrats’ win in Wisconsin court race also is a big loss for Elon Musk
Musk and his affiliated groups sunk $21 million into flipping the Wisconsin Supreme Court to conservative control, only to see his candidate defeated by 10 percentage points on Tuesday. The losing margin was four points larger than that of the only other Republican on the same statewide ballot, who was not tied to Musk’s money.

Celebrate the New People’s Army on its 56th Anniversary!
The National Democratic Front of the Philippines (NDFP) greets the New People’s Army (NPA) on its 56th Anniversary on March 29, 2025. For almost six decades, the NPA has fought eight bureaucrat-capitalist, pro-imperialist and landlord-controlled regimes, exemplifying the Filipino people’s spirit of courage and determination for democracy and independence. In the tradition of the Katipunan, the NPA started as a small, poorly-armed force in 1969. But with the support of the oppressed and exploited Filipino people, it grew into a force so formidable that the semi-colonial and semi-feudal ruling state considered it the number one threat to its power.

With Section 230 Repeal, Dems and Media Offer Trump New Censorship Tools
In a move that threatens to constrain online communication, congressional Democrats are partnering with their Republican counterparts to repeal a niche but crucial internet law. According to tech trade publication the Information (3/21/25), Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin (Ill.) has allied with Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) to reintroduce a bill that would repeal Section 230, a provision of the 1996 Communications Decency Act. Section 230 dictates that when unlawful speech occurs online, the only party responsible is the speaker, not the hosting website or app or any party that shared the content in question. Section 230 grants platforms the ability to moderate without shouldering legal liability, a power that has historically had the effect of encouraging judicious content management (Techdirt, 6/23/20). Additionally, it indemnifies ordinary internet users against most civil suits for actions like forwarding email, sharing photos or videos, or hosting online reviews. Dissolving the provision would reassign legal responsibility to websites and third parties, empowering a Trump-helmed federal government to force online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech. While the ostensible purpose of the repeal, according to Durbin, is to “protect kids online,” it’s far more likely to give the Trump White House carte blanche to advance its ultra-reactionary political agenda.

Now People will get even angrier because the Zionists are also fucking with the internet.
Even people who previously didn't care about what happens in far away lands will now be given reason to oppose Zionism.

The political lesson we are learning is that freedom of speech has been violated unless there's proof that censorship is not possible.

This State Is For Sale
If you own a Fortune 500 business, you probably incorporated it in Delaware. The state has long been favored by corporate America, offering tax-benefits and a bespoke, pre-Revolutionary War court system tailored to business needs. But now Delaware’s standing as the country’s top corporate haven is under attack. This week on Lever Time, senior podcast producer Arjun Singh sits down with The Lever’s Katya Schwenk and Luke Goldstein to learn why the tiny East Coast state has been corporate America's haven for decades. But there’s more to the story. Why are other states now battling to seize its title — and how does it impact the rest of us? And how is the involvement of Elon Musk making everything worse? The Lever's reporting explains why Delaware is ground zero in the national oligarch takeover and why what happens in Delaware doesn’t stay in Delaware. It means corporate deregulation from coast to coast.

Get out of the state of shock! – On the automobile crisis
On the 20th of December 2024, VW’s works council and management agreed on an austerity programme that, among other things, would result in the elimination of 35,000 jobs by 2030 – most of the jobs will be cut in ‘too expensive’ factories in Germany. The production of the VW Golf is to be moved entirely to Mexico. Job cuts are also intensifying among suppliers, and are reaching machine and plant manufacturers (Kuka Augsburg). Mercedes wants to double the share of production in low-wage countries from 15 to 30 per cent – in Kecskemét, Hungary, costs are claimed to be 70 per cent lower than in Germany. In 2023, an hour’s work in Hungary cost 12.80 Euros, compared to 41.80 in Germany. At nine per cent, corporate tax is lower than anywhere else in the EU. In addition, Orbán subsidises Audi, BMW and Volkswagen with hundreds of millions of Euros. The country is attracting people from Kazakhstan and Mongolia to counteract the shortage of labour and rising wages.

>The tragedy of Syria: ‘multipolarity’ fails to substitute for anti-imperialism
While this is true, i'm not entirely sure the Soviets would have protected Syria either if they had been busy with a war in Ukraine.

Also during the last 20 to 30 years, Arab nationalism was less effective at counter hegemonic activities than para-state groups like Hezbollah or the Houties. The only exception is Iran where it's gone the other way. Maybe it being such a large country is the reason.

Prince Andrew sex accuser Virginia Guiffre ‘has days to live’ after ‘car crash’
Sex trafficking victim Virginia Guiffre has claimed she has ‘four days to live’ after being hit by a bus.

The woman abused by Jeffrey Epstein as a teenager, and who has also accused Prince Andrew, shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed coverered in bruises.

Bidding farewell to her loved ones ones, mum-of-three Ms Guiffre wrote on Instagram: ‘This year has been the worst start to a new year, but I won’t bore anyone with the details but I think it important to note that when a school bus driver comes at you driving 110km as we were slowing for a turn that no matter what your car is made of it might as well be a tin can.

‘I’ve gone into kidney renal failure, they’ve given me four days to live, transferring me to a specialist hospital in urology.

‘I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time, but you know what they say about wishes. ST in one hand and wish in the other & I guarantee it’s still going to be st at the end of the day.

‘Thank you all for being the wonderful people of the world and for being a great part of my life. Godbless you all xx Virginia’.
