"While Trump is said to remain undecided on potential direct attacks against Venezuela, a new CBS News/YouGov poll found that 70 percent of US citizens “would oppose” military action against the South American country."

Hmph.
GUARDIAN: “Per head, 🇺🇸 output is six times China’s, and yet, inexplicably, there seem to be more abjectly poor Americans than Chinese. 🇺🇸 inequality is breathtaking… keeps getting worse…”

Wanting to address this isn’t radical.

NOT wanting to is.

Japan and the U.S. move toward open military confrontation over Taiwan
Japan’s ultra-rightwing prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, ignited a political storm when she declared that any Chinese move to reunify Taiwan with the mainland would threaten Japan’s very survival — and that Tokyo would be ready to join military action to stop it. For Beijing, the message was clear: Japan was abandoning its long-standing stance of avoiding any commitment to take sides in a conflict over Taiwan and was now declaring that it would join the United States in a military response.

Black solidarity with Venezuela
Recent U.S. military provocations of war in South America reveal Black and working-class interest in opposition to U.S. imperialism. The Trump regime and previous U.S. administrations have historically labeled the President Maduro regime anti-democratic. In May of 2025, Trump accused Venezuela’s government of working with the criminal organization Tren de Aragua to wage a small-scale war on American soil, an obvious pretext for regime change.

Union power wins: Baltimore library workers get jobs back
Fourteen part-time librarians at the Baltimore County Public Library received a jarring email on the afternoon of Nov. 12. BCPL leadership’s email informed them that they would no longer have jobs. The mass firing came just ahead of the holiday season and without any advance notice.  All 14 are members of the International Association of Machinists Local 4538, which represents the several hundred BCPL workers and the staff of a nearby Apple Store.

Protesters rallied on Wall Street on Nov. 22 to defend Venezuela from Trump and the Pentagon. The speak-out and march was one of many events called by the United Antiwar Coalition against the impending war for Big Oil. People chanted "No troops on the ground, no bombs in the air!" in front of the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street. Nearby was the world's biggest casino, the New York Stock Exchange.

Nov. 22 — The Trump administration is preparing to launch a new phase of operations against Venezuela within days, according to four U.S. officials who spoke to Reuters on Nov. 22. The escalation comes despite polling showing overwhelming public opposition to military intervention and growing international condemnation of U.S. actions in the region. Reuters reports that covert operations are expected to be the first component of the new phase, with options under consideration including attempts to overthrow the government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

National Day of Mourning Thursday, November 27, 2025 12:00 Noon Cole's Hill (above Plymouth Rock), Plymouth, MA Since 1970, Indigenous people & their allies have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the US Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native people do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims & other European settlers. Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands and the erasure of Native cultures.

"The protests, with their anti-authority branding, carry a sinister, anti-socialist direction, linking Sheinbaum to Cuba and Venezuela. This is not an organic youth movement; it is a manufactured crisis."
