The last time the Insurrection Act was used..."Some kids went in a store with their mother/I saw her when she came out/ she was gettin' some Pampers"

Last week, our former fact-checker and colleague Alex Colston was detained by the Israeli military while reporting from the Global Sumud Flotilla. We join @dropsitenews.com in calling for the release of Alex and all Flotilla participants.

Israel illegally kidnapped 461 Global Sumud Flotilla activists in international waters, imprisoning them in brutal conditions. Many are now on hunger strike to protest Israel’s systematic starvation of Gaza. www.leftvoice.org/internationa...

If all 2.7 million residents of Chicago came out onto the street, ICE and the National Guard would run. Do it!

This is ICE's official number: 50%!! collateral damage, just like Israel. ICE is nothing more than a state terrorist organization designed to attack and divide the working class, just like cops. We must unite all of our forces against them and all the repressive apparatuses of the state.

Love to see it!

BREAKING: Activists in NYC are mobilizing in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla and against the ongoing genocide in Gaza. Our report from otg.

Powerful interview between Ilan Pappe and one of our comrades from Brazil, who was piloting the Sirius vessel in the flotilla and is now in Israeli custody.

"We believe it’s time NOW!! to take the next step, to place ourselves on the front lines alongside our colleagues in Genoa and call a strike on the same day the dockworkers in the Italian city decide to act on their words...”

"[M]embers of the CGT's Madrid Metal Workers' Union are following the example and call of the Genoa dockworkers." "[A]s of October 5, all workers in the metal sector in Madrid are entitled to support the aforementioned strike." #Spain #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide

Israel has already arrested the crews of at least nine ships, while at least 30 boats continue their mission in the midst of intense intimidation by the Israeli military, including water cannons.

Israel has intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla and is in the process of detaining the 500+ civilians taking part in this humanitarian aid mission. Workers, students, and people all over the world must demand their immediate release. www.leftvoice.org/israel-inter...

On October 1, Israel began intercepting and kidnapping crews of some of the 50 ships that make up to Global Sumud Flotilla. Protests in solidarity with the Flotilla and Gaza are already being called. Follow here for updates. www.leftvoice.org/live-updates...

After entering “high-risk” waters, where previous flotilla missions have been intercepted and detained, Israel’s navy has sent ships and submarines to intimidate the vessels that make up the humanitarian mission of the Global Sumud Flotilla. www.leftvoice.org/israel-threa...

"Armed federal agents arriving in rented moving trucks busted doors and windows [..] and detained [at least 40] people into unmarked vans as part of a large-scale raid [..] at a South Shore apartment building." "It felt like a war zone." #Illinois #USA #Policing #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

Increased drone activity as Flotilla approaches Gaza. Could be intercepted at any moment. The world should be watching. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Important update about what's going on outside Chicago.

"It’s important that the response comes from the labor movement because we, as dockworkers, know exactly what’s on the ships passing through the port. For us, a strike is the most effective method” a Genoese dockworker told Révolution Permanente. www.leftvoice.org/dockworkers-...

ICE Confirms Agents Do Not Have Faces Beneath Masks

"All sorts of correlations are carefully examined when it comes to mass shooters. But the fact that the largest institution in the United States [the U.S. military] has trained many of them to shoot is scrupulously avoided." davidswanson.org/32-of-mass-s...

80 percent of Germans oppose their country's support for Israel.

A massive demonstration for Palestine at the Brandenburg Gate on Saturday reflects the growing rejection of Germany’s support for Israel. www.leftvoice.org/in-berlin-10...

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/27/u... Portland protests could pop off as a consequence of these threats. Right now there are only 15-20 people protesting. It could increase a lot now that its a national issue. Let's go Portland!

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/n... Things might be about to get nasty for Mamdani. Apparently, Adam's name is going to remain on the ballot. I can't help but think that opens a door for a possible legal challenge if Cuomo loses. Regardless, the race likely just got a lot tighter.

Oh We know

"I want to share what we know about who supplies Israel with oil and refined products like gasoline and diesel." "The flow of oil speaks louder than UN speeches and exposes governments complicit in the genocide and the companies profiting from it." #Israel #Gaza #Palestine #Genocide

Repression of academic freedom continues to spread around the country after a professor in Texas was fired without due process for a speech given at a virtual socialist conference. www.leftvoice.org/texas-state-...

Zohran Mamdani is attempting to build a more positive relationship with the NYPD. But his previous remarks that they are racist, anti-queer, and a threat to public safety remain as true as ever. www.leftvoice.org/cops-are-not...

@tabouchadi.bsky.social makes an important point, but is anyone really surprised by this? The so-called social democrats have been selling out working people (and immigrants are probably the hardest-working working people out there) for decades.

Hopefully Amazon stealing from customers is the first of many Amazon settlements. Jeff Bezos was Elon Musk before Elon Musk.

Thought the Amazon settlement might’ve been for murdering their workers. But alas.

"As the Labour government has continued to support Israel’s genocide and ceded ground to the Far Right on issues like immigration, welfare, and trans rights, close to a million people have recognized the need to build an alternative."

One can only hope that such levels of militancy and solidarity will make their way to the United States, where activists are planning massive demonstrations to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United Nations this Friday.

This whole situation is like nothing I've ever seen. But then what isn't these days. Just bonkers.

Remember that new study? Yeah we been knowing. 96% of BLM protests were peaceful; same for 99% of the pro-Palestine protests… And while I saw lots of reports on the study, I can’t say the same for the bigger news: That Trump scraped the study from all government websites — like it never existed!

One can only hope that such levels of militancy and solidarity will make their way to the United States, where activists are planning massive demonstrations to protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United Nations this Friday.

The proprietor of my local pub in the Bronx, a lovely Irish woman, is screaming about the need for a general strike. Things are happening.

Trump spoke to the United Nations General Assembly on September 23. His speech named the countries in his crosshairs, doubled down on some of his most aggressive and disruptive policies, and challenged the very idea that the UN still matters. www.leftvoice.org/trump-uses-u...

President Trump and the Far Right have rushed to blame the Left and the transgender community for Charlie Kirk’s murder. It’s part of a broader reactionary attack on trans rights. www.leftvoice.org/trump-and-th...

The Global Flotilla is being attacked yet again. Reports of at least ten explosions and flash bang grenades on different vessels. The world cannot allow this to stand. All out to protest Netanyahu in NYC on Friday.

Jacobin gets a lot wrong a lot of the time, but their headlines are often on point.

The top 10% are responsible for nearly half of the consumer spending that’s keeping the economy afloat. There’s something disturbing about a tiny number of people having so much money that it effectively masks how poor everyone else is.

More evidence that when we organize, we can win. Mad props to these students!

Imagine this happening in the United States. This week's NYC protests against Netanyahu could be a spark, but labor needs to step up. Shut it all down for Palestine.

Truly an anthem for our age. "I have to carry a knife Because there's people threatening my life I can't dress just the way I want I'm being chased by the National Front Concrete jungle, animals are after me..."

"Let's get dressed and dance away the night, while they..."

Trump literally advocating violence after blaming Left rhetoric for the killing of Kirk. You cant have it both ways; you cant be against political violence while calling for it. Meanwhile, liberals are falling over themselves to mourn the death of the person responsible for Trump's rise to power.

If this is allowed to stand as a precedent it will open the doors to a purge of all socialists from college campuses. I mean what actual socialist doesn't advocate for the overthrow of the state, ffs.
