BREAKING: Venezuela’s government has accused the US of launching attacks on civilian and military installations across several states, rejecting what it described as a "military aggression," according to an official statement. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/p3fqh2

At least 7 explosions heard in Venezuela's capital, Caracas, followed by a low-flying aircraft, say media reports.

"Persad-Bissessar’s support for US actions not only demonstrates her right-wing disposition and complicity in Trump’s imperialist ambitions but also reveals ideological contradictions and a leaning towards a form of white supremacy with a Hindu/Indian face." www.anti-imperialists.com/blog/why-a-c...

In a cost of living crisis, this makes no sense and will only further squeeze out already marginalized students from accessing higher education. This is shameful neoliberal gimmickry.

I know what's happening on the ground in Jamaica thanks to WhatsApp — ordinarily, a quick and convenient means of staying in touch; under threat of natural a disaster, a lifeline.

Indeed. Imagine how racist such a belief is. As a Caribbean person, I've been to Jamaica several times, to Kingston and the country side, have colleagues, friends and comrades living there, and I can attest the island is not only populated by shacks.

Mmmmm. Imagine believing most Jamaicans live in shacks.

Our students are just stunning. Their bravery and integrity put our leaders to shame.

TLDR: UC leadership has continued negotiations with a unmistakably fascist regime, and preemptively cut a program to recruit faculty of color, while leaving faculty, staff, & students to fight on their own www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/us/trump-pressure-free-speech-university-of-california-lawsuit.html

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

"Every time another hurricane flattens our homes, destroys our towns, shatters our sense of safety, we hear promises of “aid, assistance, rebuilding.” But what we truly need is justice — climate justice... [R]esilience is not a substitute for justice." www.caribbeannationalweekly.com/opinion/opin...

“Hurricane Melissa was not a natural disaster—it was a profound manifestation of climate injustice... Our communities, those least responsible for this climate crisis, are now paying the highest price.” www.jamaicaobserver.com/2025/11/04/c...

ALERT ⚠️ 📢 CONVICTED FELON/RAPIST #donaldtrump is using Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 as a base of CIA operations for his illegal CIA covert action against #Venezuela. Shame on T&T 🇹🇹 for allowing FELON trump to use its island as a staging point for his imperialislist goals. www.rawstory.com/trump-venezu...

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

Hurricanes and military invasions are two sides of the current crisis of imperialism battering the Caribbean. The simultaneity of these events is not coincidental but shows growing convergence. Time for a global working class movement to end occupation, invasion, war, regime change. End imperialism.

The House Majority wants to pay for billionaire tax cuts by slashing clean energy incentives and auctioning off our public lands. Their massive bill puts polluters first—and leaves everyday Americans behind.
