#PeoplesHistory |Revolutionary and leader of the Black Panther Party Huey P. Newton was assassinated on this day in 1989.
Newton’s Black Panther Party rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s for raising the revolutionary consciousness of the oppressed Black communities in the United States. Newton’s writings and leadership have left a permanent mark on the Black liberation movement and the socialist movement broadly.
Newton elevated the Panthers to the role of internationalist revolutionary socialists who sought to fight US imperialism in order to liberate the most oppressed communities within the country.
Newton, like many others in the Black liberation movement, was a target of the FBI’s COINTELPRO, which sought to sow division between revolutionary leaders and organizations.

This latest ruling by the TSJ adds additional legitimacy to Maduro’s victory in July 28 and reaffirms the commitment of the Bolivarian revolution to democracy.
In the past few weeks, through media and diplomatic pressure, the US-backed right-wing has tried every trick in the book to topple the government of Maduro and invalidate the results of the July 28 elections. This includes the US State Departments’ delegitimizing of the election results, the opposition calling for global right-wing protests, cyber attacks and a sustained campaign in international corporate media to undermine Venezuelan institutions.

Three years after the Taliban forcefully seized control of Afghanistan from a US-backed administration, the world continues to fail the people of Afghanistan.
The situation is exacerbated by forced displacement and hunger. Over 6 million people remain internally displaced, and almost 60% are dependent on humanitarian aid. Save the Children estimated that 6.5 million children – close to one third of all children in Afghanistan – would face catastrophic levels of hunger this year.
