'Communists should have largeness of mind and should be staunch and active, looking upon the interests of the revolution as their very life and subordinating their personal interests to those of the revolution; always and everywhere they should adhere to principle and wage a tireless struggle against all incorrect ideas and actions, so as to consolidate the collective life of the Party and strengthen the ties between the Party and the masses; they should be more concerned about the Party and the masses than about any private person, and more concerned about others than about themselves. Only thus can they be considered Communists.' Mao Zedong

Simón Bolívar Coordinating Committee (Venezuela): It is neither aid nor cooperation; it is a silent invasion!

To the peoples of the world, to grassroots activists, and to the Bolivarian conscience:

From the trenches of popular power and revolutionary critical thought, the Simón Bolívar Coordinating Committee raises its anti-imperialist and anti-Zionist voice to expose the crude geopolitical maneuver currently being disguised as "solidarity."

Under the false narrative of humanitarianism, humanity's two greatest enemies—the US empire and international Zionism—are carrying out a silent invasion against national sovereignty, exploiting the suffering of the people of La Guaira to advance their plans for territorial control and the plundering of the Homeland's strategic resources.

It is an act of supreme cynicism for Donald Trump and Washington’s spokespersons to style themselves as "friends" of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Historical memory and the dignity of the people cannot be bought or broken: a friend does not kidnap the Head of State and Government—legitimately re-elected on July 28, 2024—nor does a friend act as an accomplice to the murder of a hundred compatriots.

A friend does not strangle an entire country's economy with over a thousand illegal sanctions, nor withhold financial resources that belong to the Venezuelan people. If the empire truly wished to help Venezuela, the recipe is clear: lift the blockade, return the stolen money, and take its claws off our homeland.

In the face of media manipulation, it is imperative to distinguish genuine international cooperation from neocolonial opportunism. We at the Coordinating Committee wish to express our deepest, revolutionary gratitude to the more than 4,000 rescue workers who—acting with a true humanitarian spirit and selflessness—have extended a hand of solidarity, saving lives and providing direct support in the affected areas; as well as to the more than 31 countries worldwide that have actively joined this cause based on mutual respect. This is the legitimate solidarity between peoples—the kind that heals and builds—which stands in ethical contrast to the advance of those who use tragedy as a spearhead for intervention.

We vehemently denounce the attempted interference by Zionist corporations and missions in the reconstruction of La Guaira state. The very genocidal apparatus that is currently carrying out the extermination of the heroic Palestinian people, bombing Lebanon, and attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran, is the same one now seeking to normalize its military and logistical presence on our sacred soil.

The presence of 300 U.S. relief workers and an alarming 2,000 U.S. military personnel in the territory—compounded by the arrogant declarations from Southern Command asserting they will not withdraw—constitutes a flagrant assault on regional peace and a disguised occupation.

This offensive is nothing less than a direct, de facto violation of:

The Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela: Which enshrines sovereignty and independence as inalienable rights of the Nation and strictly prohibits the establishment of foreign bases or covert military missions.

The United Nations Charter: Whose principles of self-determination, non-intervention, and state sovereignty are trampled daily by imperialism.

International Law: By breaching treaties and agreements of mutual respect between nations.

We issue an urgent appeal to the conscience of the Venezuelan people. The true driving force behind this silent invasion is not the well-being of our people, but geostrategic interest in a territory possessing the planet's largest oil reserves. The people of La Guaira—who deserve to bury their loved ones with the utmost dignity and receive immediate care from the sovereign State—must not be used as a Trojan horse to allow humanity’s executioners to establish a foothold in our territory.

Grassroots solidarity does not militarize; it cooperates without conditions.

Imperialism and Zionism out of the land of Bolívar and Chávez!

Sovereignty is not up for negotiation; it is defended by the organized people!

Independence and Socialist Homeland!

In the first week of July 2026, a heat dome settled over the central and eastern United States. Heat indexes reached 115 degrees. More than 185 million people were under heat alerts, and more than 30 people died before the heat broke. The real count will rise, because heat often kills through the heart, kidneys and lungs and is recorded as something else.

Millions of people were told to stay indoors. Delivery workers were sent into the streets.

U.S. colonialism and imperialism is the knife in the back of the Black population that lives in this country since this it was nothing more than 13 slave-owning trading posts sitting on the Atlantic. That knife is covered in the blood of slavery, of Jim and Jane Crow, of racial terror and genocide, of mass incarceration, of the “War on Drugs,” of redlining and forced removal, of police brutality and of data centers destroying land inhabited by Black people.

Washington has not given up the war on Iran or any of its aims. It has shifted the war into a new phase — economic strangulation punctuated by periodic bombing — while it rebuilds its munitions stockpiles, refills its oil reserves and waits for better conditions.

Washington has run this play before. It ran it against Iraq for 12 years.

Dirt bike culture in Baltimore is woven into the culture of Resistance within the city. It has survived crackdown after crackdown, each time reorganizing and coming back stronger than before.

Recently, dirt bike riders have come under intense attack by the Baltimore Pig Department. This comes after a cop got themselves injured after instigating and escalating an interaction with a rider.

Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades: "Beware of natural death... and do not die except amidst the sprays of bullets." — Ghassan Kanafani

The 54th anniversary of the martyrdom of the comrade, writer, and member of the Political Bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Via Resistance News Network

Louis Allday’s introduction to the newly reissued biography of Ghassan Kanafani outlines the choice Kanafani made between being an organic p

[...] The Martyrs of Palestine Cemetery next to the Shatila Palestinian Refugee Camp, in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, is a unique place – a non-confessional burial ground, in which people of different religions, nationalities, ethnicities and political orientations lie in rest together, united by the ultimate sacrifice they paid as martyrs in service of the Palestinian cause. The cemetery is effectively an open-air museum illustrating the intertwined stories, geographies and struggles of the Palestinian revolution and those who have fought and died for it – a physical manifestation of Ghassan Kanafani’s declaration that Palestine is “a cause for every revolutionary, wherever he is … a cause of the exploited and oppressed masses.” Short of being buried in the soil of his beloved Palestine – where he was born on April 9, 1936 – it is fitting that it was here that Kanafani was laid to rest following his murder by Israeli agents on July 8, 1972. [...]

Kanafani was many things at the time of his death, including a celebrated author, a Marxist-Leninist, a Pan-Arabist, a comrade, a refugee, an artist, a husband, an uncle, and a father. As such, his murder constituted different things to different people, and one of the most remarkable aspects of Anni’s tribute to him is the way it draws from her own memories, as well as from letters of condolence, photographs, extracts from Kanafani’s writing, and artwork by him and others, to convey intimately what a profound and multi-faceted loss his death was. In doing so, it places his death in the context of an ongoing revolutionary struggle, and sends a defiant message to those responsible for it.

At its core, Kanafani’s murder was a family tragedy, one compounded by the fact that his sister’s daughter, Lamis Nijem, whom he and the whole family adored, was killed alongside him aged only seventeen years old. Simultaneously, it was a crushing blow, personally and politically, to Kanafani’s comrades in the PFLP and beyond. Foremost amongst those affected in this manner was his close friend, mentor, and fellow PFLP member, George Habash, who Kanafani had first met over two decades earlier as a teenager in Damascus, where he and his family settled as refugees after the Nakba. In his autobiography, Habash describes the day Kanafani was killed as one of the most painful of his life and recounts the difficulty he experienced writing a letter of condolence to Anni that would convey the magnitude of the loss he felt. He need not have worried because his letter, published in full in Anni’s tribute, is a masterpiece of understated yet heartfelt affection and revolutionary steadfastness. Pained by his inability to attend his dear friend’s funeral and console Anni in person, Habash writes: “Anni – I know very well what Ghassan’s loss means to you, but please remember that you have Fayez, Laila, and thousands of brothers and sisters who are members of the P.F.L.P., and above all you have the cause Ghassan was fighting for.” For Anni, Kanafani’s death was the loss of “an exceptional human being,” her husband, comrade, and teacher, and the loving father of their two young children. “Your good and beautiful hands and mind were always creating, giving to us – to the people,” she writes in her poignant letter of farewell to him.

[...] The issue of armed resistance is central when discussing Kanafani and his legacy. As The Daily Star proclaimed in its obituary, he was “the commando who never fired a gun,” yet he was explicit in his belief that armed struggle – for the Palestinians and all oppressed peoples – was legitimate and necessary. He did not distance himself from the revolutionary violence of the PFLP or other Palestinian factions engaged in armed struggle. Rejecting “bourgeois moralism,” Kanafani proudly asserted that armed struggle was the Palestinians’ moral right as an occupied and oppressed people fighting for their land and dignity. He also argued that it was the “ideal form of propaganda,” and that in spite of the “gigantic propaganda system of the United States,” it was through people fighting to liberate themselves in armed struggle “that things are ultimately decided.”

So certain was Kanafani’s belief in the centrality of armed struggle that, upon returning from a visit to Gaza in 1966, he felt:

… more than any time in the past, that the sole value of my words is that they are a meager and insufficient substitute for the absence of weapons and that they pale now before the emergence of real men who die every day in pursuit of something I respect.

Half a century later, there is little doubt Kanafani would be heartened by the increasingly unified and effective Palestinian armed resistance – of which the PFLP is a member and continues to fight in his name. In May 2021, and again as I write this in May 2023, this resistance – centered around the unified factions in Gaza, but increasingly involving acts of coordinated resistance throughout historical Palestine, and with the direct cooperation of Hizbullah in Southern Lebanon – has withstood Israeli military onslaughts and dictated the terms of ceasefire. This is fundamentally undermining Israel’s deterrence capability and rewriting the military balance to its detriment. [...]

Ghassan has not been forgotten, nor will he ever be – and his memory will live longer than the entity that sought to silence him and his people. The republication of the evocative tribute that follows this introduction will help to ensure that is so.

At the funeral of Iran

On Tehran’s Azadi Street, where millions of people gathered on Monday to bid farewell to their beloved Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the whole stretch was dominated not by black, the traditional color of mourning, but by a sea of red.

Red flags bearing the phrase "Ya Latharat al-Hussein" ("O Avengers of Hussein"), a rallying cry rooted in Shia commemorations of Imam Hussein's (AS) martyrdom at Karbala in 680 AD, appeared throughout the procession. Alongside them, mourners carried a newly coined variant: "Ya Latharat al-Khamenei." This adaptation fused the funeral of Iran's martyred leader with one of Shia Islam's most potent symbols of injustice and the demand for retribution.
