Charleston, S.C., Nov. 11 — More than 100 National Network on Cuba delegates and friends rededicated their solidarity with socialist Cuba during its annual fall meeting held in Charleston, South Carolina, November 7 to 9. The meeting, themed “Unity in Action,” was hosted by the Lowcountry Action Committee, one of more than 50 engaged member organizations of the NNOC.

A heated discussion about capitalism arose during a recent family gathering. It began with a defense of the capitalist system: capitalism is the only system that works, they said, because it is based on the incentive for personal gain; it supposedly fosters competition, innovation, and individual freedom, resulting in economic growth. That’s when I pointed out that a worker whose labor is exploited to create profit for the capitalists might see things from the other side.

A system built to shield corporate power It’s official: Mass-casualty airplane manufacturer Boeing will face no criminal charges for the two 737 MAX jetliner crashes that killed 346 people. With this latest development, the U.S. “justice” system has provided yet another example of how, at the heart of U.S. capitalism, profit is prioritized over human life. On Nov. 7, a Texas federal judge announced he would grant the Department of Justice’s request to drop all criminal charges against Boeing.

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.
