ACLU Says Right to Boycott Is at Stake in Lawsuit Over Arkansas Anti-BDS Law

https://www.democracynow.org/embed/story/2022/10/24/israel_boycott_the_arkansas_times_palestineBYAmy Goodman, Democracy Now! The ACLU is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an Arkansas anti-BDS law that penalizes state contractors unless they pledge not to boycott the state of Israel. Arkansas is one of more than 30 U.S. states to have passed “copycat” legislation to criminalize the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, which seeks to boycott Israel and Israeli goods to protest its violation of Palestinian rights. The ACLU and other rights groups have argued the right to boycott is foundational to U.S. politics and protected free speech, and warn if the anti-BDS laws aren’t challenged, Americans could lose their right to boycott fossil fuel comp...

Solidarity With Iranians Starts With Bringing an End to US Sanctions

Iranian demonstrators take to the streets of the capital Tehran during a protest for Mahsa Amini on September 21, 2022, days after she died in police custody. BY: Khury Petersen-Smith, Truthout The uprising sweeping Iran in response to the murder of 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa (Jîna) Amini by the country’s morality police for “improper dress” is one of the truly monumental political events of our time. The upsurge began as an outraged response by women across Iran, who share the practically universal experience of harassment — and worse — by that police force. But it has quickly developed into something greater and deeper, with men taking up the cause of women’s rights, the whole protest wave taking up the slogan of the Kurdish freedom movement — “Women, Life, Freedom” —...

Britain’s New PM Sunak Is as Wealthy as the King — and as Distant From the People

Rishi Sunak is greeted by supporters as he arrives at the Conservative Party Campaign Headquarters after being announced the winner of Conservative Party leadership contest in London, United Kingdom, on October 24, 2022. BYGareth Dale, Truthout As so often in recent times, the Tory Party has a new leader, and therefore Britain a new prime minister. In the last leadership contest, Rishi Sunak managed to lose to the inept ideologue Liz Truss, who then, only weeks later when challenged by a tabloid newspaper to outlast a lettuce, lost to the vegetable. How did the political script twist into this farce? How could former Prime Minister Boris Johnson — a figure so disgraced that he should be auditioning for pantomime villain roles in the run-up to Christmas — countenance a comeback an...

Supreme Court prepares new attack on Black voting rights

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer The ultra-right dominated Supreme Court began hearing a new case today that could lead to yet another historic blow to the Voting Rights Act. The case, Merrill v. Milligan, revolves around a challenge to the map of congressional districts drawn up by the state government of Alabama. The borders of the districts were so clearly designed to minimize the political influence of Black voters that a federal court ruled it to be illegal. Under the racist state government’s map, there is only one majority-Black congressional district even though 27% of the state’s population is Black.  But Alabama’s Secretary of State is appealing the case to the Supreme Court in order to give this unelected body of right-wing millionaires an opportunity ...

Supporting peace in Ukraine is nothing to be ashamed of

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer Over the last two days, members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus issued and almost immediately retracted an open letter calling for a negotiated settlement to the conflict in Ukraine. The controversy over this statement reveals both the ferociousness of pro-war sentiment among elite politicians and media pundits, and the folly of backing down instead of standing strong in the face of the warmongers. The letter, addressed to Joe Biden, was released on Monday. It was immediately met with condemnation from all corners of ruling-class politics, Democrats and Republicans alike. Virtually the entire political establishment has been in lock step in support for heavy U.S. involvement in the war, with the Pentagon and its junior partners taki...

The dangerous right-wing doctrine behind case vs. student debt relief

Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer A lawsuit filed by a right-wing group in Wisconsin that aims to overturn the Biden administration’s partial student debt relief program has made its way to the Supreme Court. This case is a chilling reminder that any progressive policy, no matter how inadequate, is almost automatically imperiled by the far-right dominated judiciary. Even though this measure leaves the bulk of the $1.75 trillion of total student loan debt in place, it has outraged a major section of the ruling class, which views education as a commodity to be bought and sold however “the market” dictates. The emergency appeal to the Supreme Court, which was filed yesterday, rests on a benign-sounding but highly dangerous legal theory: the “major questions doctrine.” This hol...

Nazi army Kill Oday Tamimi

Israeli Forces Kill Oday Tamimi, Who Allegedly Shot Israeli Soldier in Shuafat Israeli forces Wednesday evening killed a Palestinian young man accused of carrying out a shooting attack to the east of the occupied city of Jerusalem, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Israeli occupation forces pursued Tamimi for over ten days following the dri...

Why Nazi army is Afraid of the Lions’ Den

Difficult Months Ahead: Why Israel is Afraid of the Lions’ Den Palestinian resistance group Lions' Den. (Photo: via AlMayadeen) By Ramzy Baroud This headline in the Israeli newspaper, the Jerusalem Post, only tells part of the story: “The Lions’ Den, Other Palestinian Groups are Endless Headache for Israel, PA.” It is true that both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority are equally worried about the prospect of a widespread armed revolt in the Occupied West Bank, and that the newly formed Nablus-based brigade, the Lions’ Den, is the epicenter of this youth-led movement. However, the growing armed resistance in the West Bank is causing more than a mere ‘headache’ for Tel Aviv and Ramallah. If this phenomenon continues to grow, it could threa...

How Neocons Push for War by Cooking the Books

Part 2 of The Universal Empire: A Four-Part Series from VT's Fitzgerald & Gould  By: Paul Fitzgerald & Elizabeth Gould An 1898 cartoon by Leon Barrit features newspaper publishers Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst as Yellow Kid, a cartoon character of the day. It is a satire of their role in drumming up support to go to war with Spain. (Wikimedia) by Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould Most Americans outside Washington policy circles don’t know about Team B, where it came from, or what it did, nor are they aware of its roots in the Fourth International, the Trotskyist branch of the Communist International. Lawrence J. Korb, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress and assistant secretary of defense from 1981 to 1985, attributed the intellige...
