A great talk about the origins of the South African tech oligarchs that currently infest the U.S. from our comrade Rob Davies of the SACP. Give it a watch! www.youtube.com/live/p6f0WZr...

First published on Feb. 21, 1848 the Communist Manifesto remains one of the most important political documents ever printed. In celebration of #RedBooksDay2025, we're offering our 175th Anniversary Edition of the Communist Manifesto at 50% off: www.intpubnyc.com/browse/175th...

An important thread. Our party (and other groups) speak about the need for a Third Reconstruction. This explains what that sentiment means in the context of the ongoing constitutional crisis and right-wing counterrevolution. It's an American moment and we have to know the context to rise to it.

Rep. Walker Thomas thinks that regulations protecting workers on high voltage electrical lines, unloading bulk hazardous liquids, and exposed to hazardous material are too much to ask. Kentucky Democrats did not run a candidate against Thomas in 2024. www.lpm.org/news/2025-02...

The Kentucky Republican Party: Making Lead Poisoning Great Again.

With the open, undisguised entry of right-wing tech billionaires into the U.S. government, we have entered a new political moment that in many ways breaks sharply with the past. Register today for the event on Sunday February 23rd at 10:00 A.M. Eastern. bit.ly/3EETY4U

A bill has been introduced in Congress that would let landlords evict tenants on only three days’ notice or less. The legislation aims to roll back the 30-day notice landlords are currently required to give renters.

Popular anger is beginning to rise at the oligarch-led coup. The constitutional order and the democratic rights it protects, however inadequate they are, are teetering on the edge of the abyss. peoplesworld.org/article/thou...

More than 200 people gather at KY Capitol in response to social media calls to protest Trump actions. @mckennahorsley.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/02/05/p...

Raw milk is one of the most dangerous foods available. It typically contains E. coli, salmonella, and listeria from...well...poop. Kentucky has a food insecurity rate of over 17% for older adults. Four Kentucky counties are in the top 30 poorest counties in the US. www.lpm.org/news/2025-02...

Marches against Trump agenda planned for D.C. and nationwide. The plan is to contrast a fascist agenda with the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. the weekend of Jan. 18 – 20. #politics peoplesworld.org/article/marc...

The crime of genocide cannot ever be erased. And that includes those complicit in it, like the Biden Administration. The heroic resistance of the Palestinian people joined by a worldwide movement has led to a ceasefire. In the coming days, weeks and moths let us all pledge to keep the pressure on!

We welcome the long-overdue removal of Cuba from the U.S. list of State Sponsors of Terrorism and considers it a significant step towards justice for the Cuban people and a welcome to all those who champion peace and justice.

Groups to converge on DC this weekend to confront MAGA forces. Labor and its allies, as Trump takes power, are determined to resist and fight back against attacks on the people. #news #politics peoplesworld.org/article/grou...

Another half-point cut to the income tax would reduce state revenues by $718M annually. That’s especially risky for rural areas where state support is key for: 📚Education 😷Healthcare 💵 Jobs And they get far less back from cuts that largely benefit the wealthy. #kyga25

UPDATED with addresses and a map of shelters and warming centers in Kentucky. Kentuckians still without power should find a warm place to spend the night, says @govandybeshear.bsky.social kentuckylantern.com/2025/01/06/w...

An Alabama mom hit by the Bourbon Street attacker's truck then shot in the attack, who still has a bullet lodged in her foot, told a @nolanews.bsky.social reporter that the Amazon warehouse where she works denied her request for a leave of absence.

We stand for peace in Gaza, Congo, Sudan, Ukraine, and in the schools and streets here in Kentucky and across the US. We wish all a peaceful and Happy New Year!

It doesn't have to be this way.

The Louisville Metro PD continues to show themselves as a hostile occupying force. www.lpm.org/news/2024-12...

10,000 workers are holding Unfair Labor Practice strikes around the country, including New York, Atlanta, California, and Illinois. Solidarity with striking workers at Amazon!

Kill the 'non-profit killer' bill #news #politics peoplesworld.org/article/kill...

Join us and many others in building a mass movement to reshape the U.S. healthcare system. Reforms like “Medicare for All” are important steps towards a democratically controlled people’s healthcare system, but cannot be the end point of struggle. www.cpusa.org/article/mass...

This seems relevant right now!

Call the White House directly at 202-456-1111. The White House comment line is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 11 am to 3 pm EST. Urge Biden to keep his campaign promise and remove Cuba from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. www.cpusa.org/article/take...

“My dad told me something that stuck with me,” said Emily Drueke. “A union is only as strong as its weakest members and I feel that here at BOSK we are some of the best and qualified workers I have seen, so I know our union will be strong." www.peoplesworld.org/article/batt...

The House is voting tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 20, on a dangerous bill that would allow Trump to shut down all nonprofit organizations supporting democracy and opposing Israel's slaughter of the Palestinian and Lebanese people as "terrorist supporting organizations."

"Now is the time to stay grounded in the struggle, to build relationships, and to prepare for what’s to come. Ultimately, it will be the struggle over the implementation of their fascist agenda that will determine the shape of things to come." www.cpusa.org/article/our-...

The Communist Party USA unequivocally condemns the recent deployment of a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and U.S. military personnel to Israel. cpusa.org/article/stop...

Racist, anti-Haitian rhetoric obscures the US’s role in creating crisis in Haiti and seeks to promote and justify violent anti-immigrant policy. The people must unite against attacks on Haitian migrants and defend our multi-racial, multi-national working class! We’ll remember in November.

We are proud to be sponsors of this year's Black Pride Festival in Lexington. Come see us in Woodland Park on September 14th!

It was 7️⃣ years ago today, that Heather Heyer was murdered in Charlottesville, VA. This year, let's put a stake in the heart of MAGA movement by blocking fascism and building the political independence of the working class.

The CPUSA stands in solidarity with the family of Sonya Massey, who was brutally murdered by a Springfield, IL police officer after concern of an intruder in her home on July 6. #sonyamassey #blacklivesmatter #justice #equality #freedom

The left bloc’s victory is a win not just for democracy and the working class in France; it is also proof for those of us fighting similar battles against the extreme right that broad unity, organization, and mass mobilization are the way ahead. www.peoplesworld.org/article/fran...

Declaring “we are the swing votes” to decide this fall’s election, thousands of people from all over the U.S. massed in Washington on June 29 to mobilize millions of poor people. www.peoplesworld.org/article/poor...

On #Juneteenth, we celebrate the liberation of enslaved African Americans in the U.S. and the freedom fighters who fought then, and are still fighting now, for a world where Black freedom and the freedom of all people of color is the condition for the freedom of everyone.
