On Tuesday, Sep 30, 2025, the UN Security Council voted to adopt a resolution drafted by the U.S. and Panama that would create a so-called “Gang Suppression Force” (GSF) to invade Haiti. The resolution was adopted with 12 votes in favor and 3 abstentions (China, Russia, and Pakistan). The Popular Steering Committee for a Zone of Peace in Our Americas strongly condemns the adoption of this resolution.
The signing of the “Gaza Peace Plan” on October 13th marks an end, for now, of this phase of the zionist state of Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people. However, we must understand this as an imperialist, zionist vision of “peace” – which is only synonymous with full-spectrum dominance and total social control – not justice. While this deal may give much needed relief to the people of Gaza and stop the widespread bombardment, it makes a mockery of the liberatory conceptions of peace and people(s)-centered human rights.
Zohran Mamdani’s recent claim that “Nicolas Maduro and Miguel Diaz-Canel are dictators… suppressing free and fair press” is not merely false—it is imperialist disinformation straight from the CIA’s playbook. By regurgitating U.S. State Department propaganda, Mamdani sanitizes Washington’s illegal sanctions, which have killed over 40,000 Venezuelans since 2017 by denying medicine, food, and fuel. His lies lay groundwork for Trump’s threatened military invasion and Marco Rubio’s calls for violent regime change, proving his loyalty to empire over truth.
The concept of “crime” is not a fixed, objective reality but a fluid and politically potent construct which has been meticulously weaponized to serve the interests of power. Crime is in fact a dialectical product of the very systems of domination it purportedly challenges. An elusive chameleon, the shifting definitions of crime justify the expansion of state control, the suppression of dissent, and the advancement of imperial projects, both domestically and globally.
In the remote, arid landscapes of Puntland and the contested central regions of Somalia, the distant hum of a Reaper drone is the sound of a recurring nightmare. It is the herald of an explosion, of anonymous death delivered from the sky, and of a conflict that has been meticulously engineered to be endless. The United States, under the second Trump administration, has not started a new war in Somalia; it has simply intensified a long-standing project of imperial domination, cloaking it in the familiar, tattered rhetoric of counterterrorism. This escalation is not a deviation from U.S. policy but its purest expression: a neo-colonial endeavor designed to keep a nation fractured, dependent, and perpetually in the crosshairs.
New Orleans remains one of the most unique places in the world - there is simply no place like it in that it’s arguably the only place in the world that is an expression of the daily collisions of celebration/joy, creation, and culture with melancholy/tragedy, destruction, and barbarism associated with cultural appropriation and deracination. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which we know was less about the storm itself and more about the series of machinations after the storm that metamorphosed New Orleans, potentially forever.

The Movement for Social Justice (MSJ) meeting in Executive Committee last evening mandated that the Party issue a statement unequivocally condemning the US military buildup in the southern Caribbean, which is targeted at the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. We totally reject the so-called pretext for this unprecedented assembly of naval and other military assets and personnel as being one to “deal with narco-trafficking”.
The following statement from ELAPRE (a Haiti-based sibling organization to Black Alliance for Peace member organization, MOLEGHAF) makes clear that the crisis in Haiti continues to be one of U.S.-led imperialism. With unflinching clarity, ELAPRE explains how the current crisis is causing deep insecurity among the people of Haiti and exposes the hypocrisy of claims of “revolution” by those who are, in fact, terrorizing the masses. ELAPRE calls for the revolutionary left to unite and seize power from the criminal ruling class, placing it in the hands of the masses. We fully support this vision and the struggle for a self-determining Haitian people, free from the scourge of imperialism - capitalism's highest stage. We salute our Haitian comrades for their unyielding commitment to build a free and democratic society.
By the time DHS agents showed up at Mahmoud Khalil’s door, a full-spectrum campaign had already marked him as a target. Columbia professor Shai Davidai had posted Khalil’s name and image online, called him a terrorist, and urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to deport him. The smear was picked up by a network of doxxing accounts like “Documenting Jew Hatred on Campus,” which publicly lobbied for the revocation of Khalil’s visa. Rubio repeated the call, Khalil received death threats, and the university stayed silent. Then, federal agents arrived. A professor’s tweet had become a trigger for federal enforcement. A tweet, a tag, a dossier — these were the new informant files. This time, professors, NGOs, and anonymous social media accounts were the new operators.
