Now, zionists have added demands that non-citizens speaking out against Israeli war crimes be deported from the U.S. Continue reading

Fight the Rich and Their Two Parties, February 2025 By Steven Showen, Green Party of Florida A variety of organizations and speakers participated in the Worker's Strike Back conference, focusing on building an independent political movement that is pro-worker, pro-immigrant, anti-war, anti-genocide, pro-healthcare, and that responds to the climate emergency. Kshama Sawant and Jill Stein gave powerful speeches reflecting the character and experiences of their respective organizations, Workers Fight Back and the Green Party: Kshama's success in building a movement to win a $15 per hour minimum wage in Seattle (now $25/hr), and Jill's 2024 candidacy for president, gaining the highest returns of any third party. Both campaigns faced an onslaught of billionaire backed Democratic Party opposition. Continue reading

Eric Adams has a multitude of legal and political problems that have ended any political ambitions he may have had. Donald Trump may have kept him from going to jail, but in seeking a lifeline from a president hated by most New Yorkers, he has sealed his fate and will go down in history as the anti-Black, Black mayor. Continue reading

By Seth Karer-Dale 10 months ago, as the Biden administration stumbled around, failing to critique or slow Israel's annihilation of Palestinians in response to the horrors of Oct. 7, I wrote that we should fear an attack on these shores. The world was angry at the excessiveness of the response and angry at the U.S. for funding and fueling Netanyahu's excesses. You can only mess with the world population so long before nations or networks come hunting the Oppressor. Continue reading

A Progressive-Leaning Public Elects a Far-Right President Why did American voters, who by substantial majorities favor progressive economic, social, and international policies, elect a plutocratic, racist, America First jingoist as President? From an examination of election results, exit polls, and other public opinion polling, I draw three conclusions about this paradox: Continue reading

Orange County State Senator James Skoufis recently ended his campaign for Democratic National Committee Chair. What can be learned from his effort?  In early January, Skoufis posted on X, exhibiting a self-delusion about Green voters common to many Democrats. Referring to the 2024 Pennsylvania U.S. Senate race in which the Republican won with 48.82%, followed by the Democrat (48.60%), Libertarian (1.29%), Green (0.95%) and Constitution Party candidate (0.34%), Skoufis wrote “The Green Party spoiled another major race for us just the latest on a very long list.” Continue reading

The late Jimmy Carter lived longer than any other U.S. president, passing away at the age of 100 on December 30, 2024. Like all presidents who only serve one term, Carter is generally considered to have been a failure after being defeated by Ronald Reagan in 1980. What is less well known is that ample evidence indicates Reagan and his associates planned what is known as the “October Surprise,” which kept U.S. hostages in Iran and sealed Carter’s electoral defeat.

The first thing we should do is understand why a majority of the 65% of eligible voters who actually cast ballots elected a far-right authoritarian by a narrow 51% to 48% margin. The American working and middle classes are angry at the economic precarity that the powers that be have given them after five decades of corporate neoliberalism. Trump presented himself as the outsider anti-establishment change candidate, while Harris ran as the moderate establishment candidate. The swing vote was the 10 million or so 2020 Biden voters who Harris lost, not to Trump but to disaffection from the Democratic establishment. Continue reading
