March against public housing demolition in NYC Nov. 8 — People marched today in New York City to save public housing. People gathered at three Manhattan locations — the Fulton, Elliott-Chelsea and Amsterdam houses — to stop urban removal. These communities are home to thousands of people, including seniors and people with disabilities. Real estate tycoons want to make big bucks by tearing them down to build high-priced luxury apartments.

Even though Veterans Day is a federal holiday, only 19 percent of workers employed by private business get the day off. Originally called Armistice Day, it marks the end of World War I “at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month” of 1918. Twenty million people were killed during this imperialist war, half of whom were civilians.

A new generation, a deep inheritance The new mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, embodies a new political generation — but also a singular intellectual legacy: that of his parents. His mother, Mira Nair, is one of the greatest contemporary Indian filmmakers, author of acclaimed films such as Salaam Bombay! and Monsoon Wedding.His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is a historian, political scientist, and professor at Columbia University whose work has transformed our understanding of the relationship between colonization, modernity, and political violence.

“The Cuban people hold a special place in the hearts of the people of Africa. The Cuban internationalists have made a contribution to African independence, freedom and justice unparalleled for its principled and selfless character.” Nelson Mandela, July 26, 1991 November 5 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of Operación Carlota, Cuba’s internationalist mission in southern Africa, which was pivotal in securing Angola and Namibia’s independence and hastening the fall of apartheid South Africa.

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s resounding victory for New York City mayor against billionaire-backed Andrew Cuomo was a vote against racism — and a direct rebuke to Trump’s “Make America White Again.” The unabated Islamophobia in the campaign’s final days was aimed at whipping up racism and division. Cuomo joined right-wing shock jocks who claimed Mamdani would “cheer for another Sept. 11.” Trump called him a “communist,” threatened to deport him — though Mamdani is a U.S.

The outlet just won recognition for speaking truth to power. Condé Nast responded by eliminating its entire politics staff and folding it into Vogue.

In the days before New Yorkers went to the polls, Wall Street billionaires and their media unleashed a barrage of lies, branding Zohran Mamdani a “Jew-hater.” It was a lie designed to destroy his campaign. And it didn’t work. Over 1,100 Rabbis signed a petition labeling Zohran Mamdani an enemy of the Jewish people. According to these rabbis, Mamdani opposes Jewish self-determination simply because he refuses to support a U.S.-backed apartheid terror state.

The NFL’s choice of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny to headline the Super Bowl LX halftime show should have been cause for celebration. Instead, it’s a reminder that U.S. colonialism still dictates who gets to be on the biggest stage in this country. The backlash from the right was immediate. Donald Trump called the selection “ridiculous.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem threatened that ICE would “be all over” the stadium.

Besieged by a military force carrying out extrajudicial executions in the Caribbean and constant psyops, Venezuela is making sweeping preparations for the worst-case scenario, without renouncing normalcy and the cheerful spirit that defines its people. Today, in any Venezuelan city, one might suddenly see a military convoy carrying equipment and weapons generally only seen during national celebrations such as June 24 or July 5.

Everyone knows the deck is stacked. The rich play by different rules — and they’re the ones who wrote them. Every gain workers have fought for is being rolled back — wages, rights, and affordability — while billionaires grow richer by the hour. And now, 40 million people face hunger as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) runs out of funds amid the government shutdown.

Across Latin America and the United States, antiwar organizations are rallying to a new Call to Action to stop another regime-change war. The demand is straightforward: stop the U.S. military buildup. A week of coordinated protests is planned for Nov. 15–23, with rapid-response actions ready if U.S. forces escalate. In late October, the Pentagon launched one of the largest U.S. military deployments to the Caribbean in a generation.

The upcoming election for the leadership of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters — one of the largest and most powerful unions in the United States — could reshape the direction of the labor movement itself. In November 2026, 1.3 million Teamsters will choose between incumbent General President Sean O’Brien and Richard Hooker Jr., a Philadelphia Teamsters leader who has become a leading critic of the current administration.

Activists will launch a 12-day March to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal on Nov. 28, walking from Philadelphia to SCI Mahanoy prison in Frackville, Pennsylvania. Their destination is the prison where Mumia is being held. Their purpose is urgent: to demand medical care, dignity, and freedom for the world-renowned political prisoner. Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther and award-winning journalist, was framed for the 1981 killing of a Philadelphia police officer after a racist trial marked by falsified evidence, coerced witnesses, and judicial bias.

An immense naval and air armada — the largest in the Caribbean in a generation — is gathering off the coast of Venezuela. The Pentagon calls it a “regional security deployment.” But it looks, sounds, and moves like a war. What Washington is building is not merely a show of force; it is a forward posture aimed at breaking the Bolivarian Republic’s resistance and installing a pliant, pro-U.S.

Another U.S.-enforced “ceasefire” is turning out to be the opposite in southern Lebanon. Roughly a year ago, then-President Joe Biden announced a “cessation of hostilities” between Hezbollah and “Israeli” forces. In his announcement, Biden promised that Hezbollah infrastructure would be completely destroyed and would remain destroyed.  Since that announcement, Zionist military forces have launched over 500 airstrikes against southern Lebanon, claiming to be targeting Hezbollah military infrastructure.

The United States government is in the grips of one of its longest-running funding gaps in history. The ongoing government shutdown has already stretched beyond 30 days and now, the food security of millions of Americans is at risk as the funding to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is drying up and Trump officials have refused to tap into contingency funds…

Las consecuencias nefastas de las políticas del imperio, para nuestra lucha por la independencia no son algo nuevo. De hecho, ningún imperio libremente acepta las luchas emancipatorias de sus subyugados. Y aquí ya hemos pasado por varias etapas: Desde cuando se nos prohibió exhibir nuestra bandera con la Ley de la Mordaza y no podíamos expresar oposición al régimen invasor estadounidense, hasta cuando se nos comenzó a perseguir, fichar y abrir records, proceso conocido como el Carpeteo, que hizo perder empleos, exilar y hasta asesinar personas sospechosas de ser independentistas. 

Hurricane Melissa has left a trail of devastation through the Antilles, with over 30 deaths in Haiti and Jamaica to date. The Eastern part of Cuba was also slammed by Melissa, the strongest hurricane to hit in the last 150 years.  As of now, no lives have been lost in Cuba, thanks to its national unity and preparedness, which enabled it to evacuate over 700,000 people and their belongings out of harm’s way before the storm arrived.
