Biden, Congress, and the Squad Just Voted to Block a Rail Strike. Workers Should be the Ones Who Decide
The Biden administration called on Congress to undemocratically impose a contract on rail workers across the country and avert a nationwide rail strike. The deal has already passed the House with unanimous support from Democrats. This latest maneuver by a “proud pro-labor President” shows that there is no such thing: the state acts in favor of the bosses to protect their profits.

Palestinians and Critics Need Not Apply: Israel Denying Entry Is Nothing New
On Thursday, with Trump’s support, Israel denied entry to U.S. congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. This is not an anomaly but a state practice that reflects both Israel’s repression of criticism as well as its settler-colonial policies that target Palestinians and the Palestinian diaspora.

Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and the Criminal Alliance between Israel and the U.S.
When President Trump slanders Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, he speaks for the interests of American imperialism and its strategic alliance with Israel. Both Democrats and Republicans echo his statements.

Ilhan Omar and the Perils of Criticizing Israel
Accusations of anti-Semitism continue to plague Rep. Ilhan Omar despite their obvious lack of credibility. While she has had some private support inside the Democratic Party, the attacks levied against her show that the party is struggling to remain both relevant to young voters and connected to Israeli lobbyists in its determination to support imperialism.
