The courts have given ICE and the Trump administration carte blanche to violently repress the working class. It’s up to us to defend ourselves, and organize workers and immigrants to fight back.

Bovino and Trump are merley the symptoms of a decades-long attempt to paper over the inevitable horrors of capitalism.

Never forget, it was the U.S. that the Nazis looked to for inspiration when they were developing the Nuremberg Laws. What we are seeing now is merely the return of a deeply ingrained primitive fascist authoritarianism repressed by decades of liberal apology for capitalism with a human face.

AUSTIN! ICE has booked a block of rooms at the Hyatt Regency (Congress/Barton Springs) for the next two weeks. This is being reliably reported on by a few folks, including Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch. You know what to do.

"We must shut everything down in a general strike, force all federal agents out of Minneapolis and every U.S. city, and demand the abolition of the DHS." "The lives of our immigrant neighbors and activists are literally on the line." #Minnesota #USA #Labour #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

The street is littered with various chemical weapons canisters that federal police are using on peaceful protesters.

If ever there was a moment for a proper nationwide general strike, this is it.

Bus operators local ATU-1005 in Minneapolis has been one of the most prominent union organizations contributing to the coming political strike against ICE. An ATU member in Michigan wrote about why they support the call to strike. www.leftvoice.org/im-a-union-b...

"They should be terrified." "Minneapolis is showing that these fucking monsters are few, and workers, students, and people in solidarity with immigrants are many." #Minnesota #USA #Protest #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

We’re in Minneapolis where over 10,000 people are out in the streets in sub-zero temperatures to oppose ICE terror. This is an obvious display that people are sick of Trump’s war on immigrants. We can build on this momentum, strengthening a nationwide movement to #AbolishICE!

Not all heroes...

This is what happens when you grant sadistic monsters like this total immunity. Shut it all down on Friday and every day thereafter until all of these dogs are fired and held accountable.

This pic should haunt Trump and his whole gang of thugs for the rest of their lives.

PSA: ICE and the police are violent arms of the capitalist state, and neither can be an ally in the fight for immigrant and working-class liberation.

The Left must build a national movement against ICE and imperialism, and demand that unions across the country mobilize in solidarity with the strike called in Minnesota. More than ever, we need unity of action and political independence from the capitalist parties to fight Trump now.

"UAW president Shawn Fain must call all union members to support Minneapolis on January 23 by shutting everything down, just as workers in Italy did to protest the genocide in Gaza." #Minnesota #USA #Venezuela #Palestine #Greenland #Protest #Labour #Policing #Deportation #EthnicCleansing #Military

"For a working class that saw ICE murder someone in the same week that our government invaded Venezuela, it is clear that allowing imperialism to go unchecked only strengthens the apparatus of state violence ... [T]he working class needs to get organized to use the power of the strike now."

Lmao

It is a genocide, both legally and factually. Israel is an illegitimate apartheid state that is STILL COMMITTING GENOCIDE. Fuck these genocide-denying scum. Newsom will NEVER be president.

"Trump and the Right Wing have to be defeated by a great bicontinental movement." "A mobilization across all the Americas is capable of defeating these new attempts of imperialist recolonization." #Venezuela #USA #Military #FossilFuels #Drugs #Labour #Protest

Union members across the U.S. must push for a resolution by their locals to join Minnesota’s general strike on January 23.

On Thursday, the Met Union won its election with UAW Local 2110 with 76% in favor. The nearly 900-strong bargaining unit is historic for the Met — and less than a month into 2026, there has never been a more important time for unions to fight.

The Supreme Court is expected to uphold bans on trans girls’ participation in sports. The ruling could open the door to more discriminatory laws, and shows that the working class must fight for trans rights — without illusions in the courts.

“Working people in Minnesota figured out something many still fail to see: the most powerful weapon is withholding our labor.”

Shawn Fain has called for a general strike in 2028. Now, in the context of U.S. intervention in Venezuela and escalated ICE violence in the murder of Renee Nicole Good, the base of the UAW is calling on the leadership to oppose U.S. imperialism. www.leftvoice.org/we-cant-wait...

Great move by the CWA. Now let's start preparing for a strike against ICE. www.leftvoice.org/the-time-for...

Senate Republicans joined Democrats to pass a war powers motion to constrain Trump’s attacks on Venezuela. The vote won’t keep U.S. imperialism in check, but it shows that Trump’s interventions are pushing up against an American society deeply skeptical of wars. www.leftvoice.org/senate-vote-...

"Redeem," as in "sieze the means of production," or what he earlier calls "the ways of satisfying need." That's what Hughes meant and I couldn't agree more.

As of today, still no statement from Shawn Fain or the UAW national on the U.S. attack on Venezuela.

Footage of ICE protests and repression coming out of Minneapolis.

This is the disgusting nationalist propoganda the NYT is running on the top of its front page the same day ICE murdered a US citizen. Paper of record my ass.

Apropos of nothing, dear NSA.

I mean, I too like these things, but my doctor does not, and I kind of think he's the one I should be listening to, not the ghoul with a worm in his head who thinks vaccinations cause autism.

Not the first time this has happened. #abolishice

Totally unrelated to anything happening today. @nehoc.bsky.social

ICE is nothing but the armed wing of Trump's reactionary anti-worker, anti-immigrant authoritarian regime. This is class war; and the gloves are off. www.leftvoice.org/trumps-autho...

Could 2026 get any worse any faster?

Like the Klan in the South during reconstruction, ICE is a terrorist organization, whose sole purpose is to terrorize & intimidate immigrants, people of color, & their allies. They will continue to kill with impunity until the working class and oppressed rise up to get rid of them once and for all.

NYC — tonight at 6pm, Foley Square

After bombing Venezuela, Trump outright said his domestic war on drugs is part of the same mission. We need mobilizations uniting the movement against Trump's domestic militarism with resistance to his attacks on Latin America.

Here's the ICE agent "defending himself" by shooting into the driver's side window of a car that's pulling *away* from him. Put this photo on the front page of every newspaper in America.

“…attacks on working people abroad are part of a larger assault on working people everywhere; we know that 💥Gaza & Venezuela are training grounds for attacks on U.S. workers💥; and we know that every dollar spent on the imperialist war machine is a dollar taken from the working class worldwide.”

From an anti-war protest at in Times Square, Left Voice writer and PSC CUNY member Olivia Wood calls on unions to denounce Trump’s war on Venezuela and mobilize their members in the streets to defeat these attacks.

"[G]lobal failure." "[M]essage is unmistakable: international law applies selectively, if at all." "[R]esult is not peace or security. It is a more dangerous world, where civilian protections are hollowed out, sovereignty is disposable." #USA #Venezuela #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Genocide #Military

Trump has declared open season on Venezuelan sovereignty, promising to hand the country’s assets back to U.S. oil giants. But the land and the resources of Latin America belong to its peoples, who have the right to forge their own destiny. www.leftvoice.org/no-venezuela...

My latest for @leftvoice.bsky.social

At @leftvoice.bsky.social we've been all hands on deck providing analysis of Trump's attacks on Venezuela and coverage of protests around the world. This includes translations from our sister sites in Venezuela and other countries throughout Latin America. Follow leftvoice.org to stay informed.

The day after the president was kidnapped, there haven’t been big mobilizations in Venezuela, neither against the imperialist attack, nor to celebrate it. We spoke with Milton D’León, a socialist worker from Caracas and editor of our sister site in Venezuela. www.leftvoice.org/life-on-the-...

Here are 12 notable works of independent journalism from the past 7 days on state violence in Trump's America. "Trump Brags About Imperialist War in Venezuela and the New 'Monroe Doctrine.'" Ximena Goldman; @leftvoice.bsky.social; January 3. 1/12 🧵
