U.S. Capitalism-Imperialism Is Waging War on Iran for Its Own Reactionary Imperialist Reasons… NOT Because It Was Supposedly Tricked by Israel
This week, Joe Kent resigned as “National Counterterrorism Center Director,” a position directly under Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s Director of National Intelligence. Kent said, “I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.” Unfortunately, thousands of progressives began spreading this quote approvingly.

No Let Up of Israeli Genocide in Gaza, Ethnic Cleansing in the West Bank

The world’s attention may be focused on the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, but Israel’s U.S.-backed genocide in Gaza hasn’t stopped.
Palestinians are still being starved and needlessly dying due to Israel’s criminal blockade of food, medicine and other needed supplies. Meanwhile, Israeli tank shells recently killed three people in a tent camp for displaced people and wounded ten more, including children. Their missiles have killed people in markets and slaughtered people in villages. On March 15 alone, the Israelis killed 12 Gazans, including two children and a pregnant woman.
Israel Unleashes the Genocidal “Gaza Model”…In Lebanon

Israel isn’t just murdering civilians and destroying vital means of survival in Iran. It has seized on the war to launch a preplanned assault on Lebanon—not to “protect Israel,” but to implement the “Gaza Model,” in Lebanon. What does this mean? It means the total devastation, seizure, and occupation of Lebanese towns and territory south of the Litani River—some 8-10 percent of Lebanon’s territory. And it means incalculable death and devastation across all Lebanon.

Trump’s State of the Union Message Was on Message… for Fascism

On February 24, Trump gave his annual State of the Union address.
Many anti-Trump commentators (gleefully) deemed the speech a “failure” because “it won’t improve Trump’s falling poll numbers” in advance of the midterm elections this November. And they argued that he advanced few “policy proposals” that would provide legislative reforms for the deep problems gripping the U.S. (and the world).

On the Cold-Blooded Murder of Renee Nicole Good: What Are You—What Are We—Gonna Do Now?
You know it by now, but let’s say it anyway. This past week, with Renee Nicole Good’s murder—in combination with Trump’s outrageous international rampage—we took a giant leap into full-out fascism. An ICE thug named Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good—a poet and a mother who set aside time and ended by giving her life just to warn fellow humans that ICE was in the neighborhood. A person who by all accounts was kind, compassionate and caring. An ordinary person… and a hero.
Iranian People Rise Up Against Hated Islamic Republic

Fascist Trump Threatens Military Intervention
On December 28, 2025, mass protests broke out in Iran against the widely hated IRI. The immediate spark was a steep drop in the value of Iran’s currency and practically daily jumps in prices for everyday items, making it near impossible for millions of Iranians to survive. In the 16 days since then, these righteous protests have defied escalating repression and grown to involve tens of thousands (if not many, many more) in over 100 cities and all 31 Iranian provinces.

Trump’s Global Rampage, and the Method to the Madness

Last week, the U.S. bombed the sovereign nation of Venezuela, killing over 100 civilians and kidnapping the President, Nicolás Maduro. Since then, Trump and other forces in his fascist regime have been on a rampage: threatening to attack and asserting his right to dominate, control and invade any country anywhere—without any legal constraint. But while Trump sounds like a madman, this is not just madness. They are laying out their fascist strategy to remake the world in the interests of a fascist America more able to contend with who they see as their main imperialist rival, China.

Deeper reasons why there is no “left” version of Charlie Kirk—and why the Democratic Party will not, and cannot, do what needs to be done to drive out the Trump fascist regime—Part 2
In my previous message (number 136), I clearly stated that the murder of Charlie Kirk was very wrong and should not in any way be justified, let alone cheered, and that this assassination has involved a lot of harm—including the way that Trump and other fascists have seized on this to even further ramp up attacks on their “enemies.”

In the Wake of the Trump-Putin Summit: Four Critical Truths
The high-level summit conference between Trump and Putin last Friday in Alaska has dominated the news, and there will be more to come this week. The point of the conference was how to settle the bloody, dangerous war between Russia and Ukraine. In what quickly became a proxy war, Ukraine has been strongly backed by Europe and especially—until Trump took office—the U.S. Going in to the meeting, Trump had said he was demanding that Putin agree to a ceasefire as the first step; coming out, he dropped that demand. Since the conference, Trump has spoken highly of Putin and said that now the onus (the responsibility) is on the Ukrainian leader Zelensky to make a comprehensive deal with Putin before the ceasefire.
