Israel's Murderous Assault on the People in Gaza…
And the Need to Oppose These Crimes NOW

Victory in the Trial of Four STOP "Stop & Frisk" Freedom Fighters—The Struggle Continues
In Queens, NY, the government wanted to make people pay a heavy price for protesting against stop-and-frisk but they failed. The six jurors came back with a NOT GUILTY verdict on both counts of Obstruction of Government Administration for all four defendants. But they found them guilty of the violation of disorderly conduct. We demand NO JAIL TIME!

The Battle for the Truth About the Great Leap Forward:
Resources for Readers of Revolution
The New York Times and the New York Review of Books have recently featured two high-profile articles about the Great Leap Forward of 1958-60. They both serve the anticommunist "master narrative" that the Great Leap Forward was an exercise in demonic Maoist control that led to history's worst famine. And they share in common a method of argumentation that traffics in colossal lies and distortions.
