At the same time that Trump is warning millions of working class parents they’ll have to cut back on Christmas presents, laying off tens of thousands of workers, and abandoning the working class to a new wave of inflation — he's hosting a fundraiser for "Crypto and AI Innovators" paying $1.5 million per ticket!

It couldn't be clearer: Trump is loyal to the billionaire class. Not working class people.

🎙️NEW Socialist Program: Asian Nations Announce Plans to Fight Trump’s Trade War

JUSTICE FOR TYRE NICHOLS!

Today, three former Memphis police officers were acquitted of all state charges in the fatal beating of 29 year-old father Tyre Nichols.

This verdict is part of a larger trend to roll back the gains made in response to the 2020 uprising and re-establish total impunity for cops. Just last week, Trump even issued an executive order that the Justice Department has to provide legal assistance to cops facing charges for brutality!

We'll continue to fight for justice for Tyre Nichols and an end to all racist police terror!
🇭🇹Haiti’s stolen revolution and the imperialist debt trap: The punishment for independence

"In 1804, Haiti shocked the world by becoming the first Black republic after enslaved Africans overthrew their French colonial oppressors. Yet this revolutionary victory was met not with solidarity but with economic warfare. In 1825, under threat of reinvasion, Haiti was forced to pay 150 million francs (later reduced to 90 million francs) as “compensation” to former slaveholders, effectively charging Haitians for their freedom."

On April 14 around 6:20 a.m., New York Police Department officers shot and killed 60-year-old Queens resident King Wong.

The NYPD had received 911 calls reporting that Wong was displaying signs of mental distress while holding a knife near 30th Avenue and 31st Street in Astoria.

After arriving at the intersection, NYPD officers attempted only 56 seconds of deescalation before opening fire, claiming that their tasers were ineffective and that they were “forced to defend themselves.”

🚩Today marks 80 years since the surrender of Nazi Germany – a day marked around the world as Victory Day.

In Hollywood movies and history textbooks, the reality of how fascism was defeated has been twisted and distorted to fit the needs of the U.S. government.

"Historic moments of oppression must be met with historic moments of resistance."

Claudia De la Cruz, 2024 Socialist Presidential Candidate, spoke at the Atlanta Liberation Center this week about how to build the movement needed to defeat the far right.

Trump and the billionaires may be on the offensive, but we have the numbers on our side! It's time to organize!
🚨PEOPLE'S VICTORY!

A federal judge has ordered the release of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University student detained by ICE for voicing opposition to US-funded genocide in Palestine.

For weeks, protests around the country have demanded freedom for Rumeysa and all students targeted for standing on the right side of history. This is a people's victory – and we will continue to fight until Mahmoud Khalil, all of our students and Palestine are free!
