Jorge Mújica on Immigrant Organizing in Chicago: A Video Interview

6 days ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

I first met Jorge Mújica about forty years ago when my wife and I were living in Mexico. I was working with and writing about Mexican workers and their unions and my wife Sherry Baron was studying workers’ health and safety. Jorge was then organizing workers just as he is today. I remember he gave the two of us a wonderful educational talk about mapping health and safety hazards in the workplace.
Trump Tariffs and U.S. Imperialism

1 week ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

Trump’s April 2025 tariff blitz ignited market chaos and deepened rifts within his own coalition. Beneath the turmoil lies a battle between technocrats, ultranationalists, and anti-imperial populists, all vying to reshape—or destroy—American global power. On April 2, 2025, Donald Trump declared a “Day of Liberation” and slapped massive tariffs on most countries—excluding Russia but including a 50% tariff on Lesotho.
May Day in America, Is It Now Here to Stay?

1 month ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

This article was written for L’Anticapitaliste, the newspaper of the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA) of Frane. May Day is not a holiday in the United States. In most states and cities, it is not celebrated. In some places, in schools or public parks, people put up a May pole and danced around it to celebrate the arrival of spring. We did that in my elementary school in Chicago when I was a child.
The Other Catastrophe: Genocide and Famine in Sudan

1 month ago | newpol.org | Gilbert Achcar |London. He

Two years have passed since the war broke out in Sudan between the two sides of the military regime that the country inherited from the infamous Omar al-Bashir. While the situation in Sudan does not get even a tenth of the global media attention that the ongoing Zionist genocidal war in Gaza receives, the scale of the human catastrophe there is equally horrific.
Netflix Adolescence and the dark energy of patriarchal power

1 month ago | newpol.org | Scott McLemee

Netflix’ Adolescence is a flawed but powerfully crafted drama. The acting and particularly the dialogue is superb – its poignant, witty in places, and offers up a powerful evocation of working-class family life. The existential flaw in the program, however, lies in the premise. It is endeavoring to grasp the real problem of toxic masculinity/online incel culture purveyed by figures such as Andrew Tate.
American Unions and Workers Confront Trump’s Savage Attack

2 months ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

President Donald Trump has launched a vicious, multifaceted attack on American workers of all sorts and workers are beginning to respond, but both the working class and the unions are divided, making it difficult to organize and carry out a unified response.
Ukraine: Not a Proxy War

2 months ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz |Stephen Shalom

A discussion of the New York Times’ article, “The Partnership: The Secret History of the War in Ukraine.”The Ukrainian people are currently fighting against Russia’s brutal invasion and the occupation of about twenty percent of its territory. The war remains today what is has been from the beginning: A war of national self-defense and self-determination against Russian imperialism as Vladimir Putin attempts to reduce Ukraine to its former colonial status under both the Tsarist and Soviet empires.
Bilkis: A Ukrainian Feminist Organization

2 months ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

Two members of the Ukrainian feminist organization Bilkis, Tania Vynska and Yana Dotsenko, were in New York for the 69th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), the world’s largest conference on women, that took place at UN Headquarters from March 10 to 21, 2025. The conference was focused on a review and appraisal of the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action adopted in 1995.
Ukraine Solidarity Under the Trump Administration

Feb 22, 2025 | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

On the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the United States under the Trump administration is now pushing negotiations for a “peace” settlement. The Ukraine Solidarity Network-U.S. (USN) opposes any attempt to impose a settlement that is not acceptable to the Ukrainian people. Anyone with an ounce of compassion wants this war to end as soon as possible, but it is morally unacceptable for outsiders to demand that Ukraine surrender.
Indigenous migrants in the US fight renewed segregation

Feb 5, 2025 | newpol.org | Gladys Tzul Tzul |Dan La Botz

The inauguration took place in the wake of the brutal fires in Los Angeles that began on January 5, devouring more than 37,000 acres, including large parts of Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Pasadena. The fires destroyed more than 12,000 structures, including homes, schools, churches and businesses, but they impacted far more than buildings alone. They killed at least 29 people, exacerbated the already existing housing crisis in the city and will likely worsen unemployment.
