Trump DOJ seeks to erase January 6 convictions of Proud Boys, Oath Keepers ringleaders ahead of 2026 elections

Minneapolis shooting video exposes ICE lies, frame-up of Venezuelan immigrants Newly obtained footage contradicts the official account used to justify the shooting of Julio C. Sosa-Celis and the prosecution of two Venezuelan immigrants.

Federal prosecutors filed felony charges against two Venezuelan immigrants based on false statements from an ICE agent and an FBI agent. This was not an oversight but the prioritization of police powers over democratic rights. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

A stack of four children's books, spines facing out, sitting on the edge of a wooden bookshelf. The text above the books reads: DCHM (DiMenna Children's History Museum) presents our annual Children's History Book Prize Finalists. The four books are (from top to bottom): A Sea of Lemon Trees by Maria Dolores Aguila, Where Only Storms Grow by Alyssa Colman, Will's Race for Home by Jewell Parker Rhodes, and The Unexpected Lives of Ordinary Girls by J. Anderson Coats. The wall behind the bookshelf is wooden, and there is a stripey design like wallpaper as well.

As Trump talks about negotiations with Iran, he is preparing to deploy 10,000 more ground troops to the Middle East. This inveterate liar has repeatedly used negotiations to cover his preparations for criminal violence. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

As Trump demands $200 billion for Iran, USPS announces it will run out of money next year Postmaster General David Steiner warned USPS will run out of cash by February, and both parties agreed on the need for the deepest cuts in the agency's history.

The US will likely find $200 billion for the war on Iran but refuse to fund the Postal Service and guarantee mail delivery. The ruling class is attacking the most basic governmental functions to fund imperialist crimes. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Trump demands unconditional surrender from Iran as war enters second week President Donald Trump declared Friday that there will be “no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER,” signaling the intention to wage permanent war until Iranian society is destroyed.

Trump has precluded any deal with Iran except "unconditional surrender." The administration is prepared to attack Iran until the country is totally destroyed. The only social force that can stop this atrocity is the international working class. www.wsws.org/en/articles/...

Mamdani embraces Trump: Collaboration with fascism from the DSA mayor Mamdani stood side-by-side with the would-be dictator who has the blood of thousands on his hands, and may soon have the blood of millions, as his war fleet assembles off the coast of Iran.

Mamdani embraces Trump: Collaboration with fascism from the DSA mayor

Mamdani’s collaboration with Trump expresses the class character of his politics. And it must be stated plainly: these are the politics of the Democratic Socialists of America as a whole.

Communist Party Marxist-Kenya leader Booker Omole faces fraudulent charges as detention continues Omole has been transferred to Kitengela Remand Prison with a broken arm. He faces trumped-up charges of connections to drug cartels, assaulting a police officer and possession of a firearm.

I demand the immediate release of Booker Omole! He faces brutal conditions, including lack of care for his many injuries. Ruto's regime has again revealed its hostility to the working class of Kenya.
