San Francisco State College 1968: On strike, shut it down!

The strike, which lasted 5 months, was the longest student strike in U.S. history. The International Longshore and Warehouse Union played a significant role in the Strike. William “Bill” Chester, International Vice President of the ILWU, was part of the Select Committee, which was responsible for negotiating with student leaders to reach a settlement that resulted in establishing a Black Studies Department and a School of Ethnic Studies.

This is where we are. Anti-trans pogroms have begun and the community is living in fear. Things are so bad that some of us are unable to live anymore.

Where is the left? Where are our allies?

Amsterdam pogrom was anti-Palestinian, not anti-Jewish

By Lev Koufax

In the days leading up to the Nov. 5 match, the M. Tel Aviv fans made the city of Amsterdam their own fascist oyster. On the day before the match, a mob of Zionists in town for the match burned a Palestinian flag in Dam Square. These impromptu fascist demonstrations broke out across central Amsterdam. Video footage showed M. Tel Aviv fans setting off flares and chanting, “Let the [Israeli army] win” and “F**k the Arabs.”

The Zionist mobs also attacked houses displaying Palestinian flags on the day before and the day of the match. On the day of the match, the Zionist soccer fans marched to the stadium chanting similar anti-Arab slogans as the day prior. This fascist mob had an escort to the stadium from the Dutch federal police.

Despite our best efforts, the names on our list are only those who had the privilege of recognition, the fortune of discovery, or the extraordinary courage to leave indelible proof of their true selves for us to mourn. So many unknown and uncounted people remain that even years from now we will learn the names of people in our community who died this year without the recognition they deserved.

Aotearoa: The week it all erupted

By Jamie Tahana

The ongoing hīkoi was a response and challenge to what was finally tabled on Thursday. Parliament fired up as Act leader David Seymour introduced his Treaty Principles Bill, the source of so much angst this past year, but also the source of much of the kotahitanga seen by many Māori, who rallied against an attempt to redefine the country’s founding document and its promises.

A bill the Waitangi Tribunal said would, if passed, “be the worst, most comprehensive breach of the Treaty/te Tiriti in modern times.” A bill that was developed in a way that “deliberately excluded any consultation with the Māori Treaty/te Tiriti partner.”

As tens of thousands crowded the streets in New Zealand’s capital, Wellington, on Tuesday, the throng of people, flags aloft, had the air of a festival or a parade rather than a protest.

They were marching to oppose a law that would reshape the county’s founding treaty between Indigenous Māori and the British Crown. But for many, it was also a celebration of a resurging Indigenous language and identity that colonization had once almost destroyed.

“Just fighting for the rights that our tūpuna, our ancestors, fought for,” Shanell Bob said as she waited for the march to begin. “We’re fighting for our tamariki, for our mokopuna, so they can have what we haven’t been able to have,” she added, using the Māori words for children and grandchildren.

What was likely the country’s largest-ever protest in support of Māori rights — a subject that has preoccupied modern New Zealand for much of its young history — followed a long tradition of peaceful cross-country marches that have marked turning points in the nation's story.

With two months left, Biden escalates NATO war on Russia

By Gary Wilson

In a menacing shift of U.S. policy with less than two months left in office, President Joe Biden has authorized Ukraine to use U.S. long-range missiles for strikes deep within Russian territory, potentially engaging in a direct NATO war on Russia.

Dahlia and Jess were leaving the station when a man started yelling transphobic slurs at them, Amber Muhm, a rally organizer who spoke to both of them after the incident, told The Independent. Jess asked him to stop talking to them that way, prompting the man to “sucker punch” her. Dahlia then struck the man with her cane, Muhm said.

Although the man was “knocked out,” four or five other people ran up and began to “mercilessly beat” the two transgender women, Muhm said.

“People were cheering the attackers on,” Muhm said. Both of them were knocked unconscious and Dahlia was left with a broken nose while Jess suffered “multiple contusions” on her ribs.

Berthold Brecht: To Those Born Later (Excerpt)

I came to the cities in a time of disorder

When hunger reigned there.

I came among men in a time of revolt

And I rebelled with them.

So passed my time

Which had been given to me on earth.

My food I ate between battles

To sleep I lay down among murderers

Love I practised carelessly

And nature I looked at without patience.

So passed my time

Which had been given to me on earth.

All roads led into the mire in my time.

My tongue betrayed me to the butchers.

There was little I could do. But those in power

Sat safer without me: that was my hope.

So passed my time

Which had been given to me on earth.

Our forces were slight. Our goal

Lay far in the distance

It was clearly visible, though I myself

Was unlikely to reach it.

So passed my time

Which had been given to me on earth.

You who will emerge from the flood

In which we have gone under

Remember

When you speak of our failings

The dark time too

Which you have escaped.

Opposition to transgender rights was a focal point of Trump’s campaign: Republican ads attacking political opponents over transgender or LGBTQ+ issues have aired over 290,000 times on network TV since March 2023, according to data from the media tracking firm AdImpact. ....

With the help of crisis counselors, Fisher said her teen has begun feeling better. But bullying at school has gotten worse, with some students telling her child Trump is going to make him “go back in the closet,” Fisher said.

”The kids who have taunted him are now proud of themselves, and they rub it in,” she said. ...

A CDC survey found 72% of transgender and gender-questioning teens experienced persistent feelings of sadness and hopelessness in the past year. These teens also reported higher rates of bullying at school compared with peers. About 1 in 4 transgender students said they had attempted suicide in the past year, the CDC said.

Brooklyn, NY: PROTEST AGAINST STOLEN LAND SALE

6pm, November 19th

2810 NOSTRAND AVE, BROOKLYN, NY 11229

ΟΝ 11/19, ΑΝΟTHER ZIONIST REAL ESTATE EVENT, OFFERING PROPERTY IN "ANGLO NEIGHBORHOODS" OF OCCUPIED PALESTINE, WILL BE HELD IN FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN. JOIN US AS WE CONFRONT THE WHITE SUPREMACIST, SETTLER- COLONIAL PROJECT!

This Stolen Land sale, illegal under international, national, state and local laws, is intentionally being held by "My Home in Israel" in the Kingsway Jewish Center, to exclude everyone except for the most zionist and orthodox Jews from participation, to further expand the zionist entity's attempt to take over all of Palestine.

STOP LAND THEFT! OUST THE SETTLERS! FIGHT ANNEXATION!

As the US continues to collude and provide the weapons and political cover for the ongoing indiscriminate assaults on Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Iran — zionist settlers are using this time to advance their settler-colonial agenda.

Today marks 10 years since the death of my dear comrade, friend and mentor Leslie Feinberg on November 15, 2014. I was at a meeting in New York with activists from around the country when we heard the news.

A revolutionary journalist, anti-racist fighter and transgender warrior to the bones, Leslie is best remembered as the first to advance a Marxist conception of trans liberation. That work has impacted the struggle in untold ways, just as Leslie's autobiographical novel, Stone Butch Blues, has touched the lives of innumerable people.

Leslie said, "Remember me as a revolutionary communist," and we all do. I also remember Leslie's kindness, patience, and belief in the the ability of working people to learn and develop in the struggle.

Comrade Leslie Feinberg, presente!
