O resilient and freedom-loving Iranian people! I speak to you from a heart filled with destruction, pain, and betrayal.
I am the voice of a woman who witnessed the destruction that befell her country, not at the hands of overt enemies, but after falling into the trap of the West’s deceitful smiles and false promises. I warn you against falling into the snare of the imperialists’ deceptive words and slogans.
Once they told my father, Colonel Gaddafi: ‘If you abandon your nuclear and missile programs, the doors of the world will be opened to you.’ My father, in good faith and trust in dialogue, chose the path of concessions.
But in the end, we saw how NATO bombs turned our land into rubble. Libya drowned in blood, and its people fell into the clutches of poverty, exile, and devastation.
My Iranian sisters and brothers, your courage, dignity, and steadfastness in the face of sanctions, spies, and economic warfare are proof of your nation’s honor and true freedom.
Offering concessions to the enemy brings only destruction, division, and suffering. Negotiating with the wolf will not save the sheep or bring lasting peace, it merely sets the time for the next meal!
History has proven that those who stood firm, from Cuba and Venezuela and North Korea to Palestine, remained alive in the hearts of the world’s heroes and were immortalized in history with honor. And those who surrendered turned to ash, their names forgotten.
Greetings to the brave people of Iran! Greetings to the Iranian resistance! Greetings to global solidarity with the Palestinian people!
With love and mercy, Aisha Gaddafi
Moscow communists and activists from various left-wing organizations (Left Front, OKP, AKM-TR and the We Will Win movement) held a series of individual pickets in front of the United States Embassy in the capital.
They were protesting against the attack of U.S. bandits on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores.
One of the security officers guarding the embassy approached the protesters to ask them why the pickets were there. Seeing his signs, he simply nodded with approval and returned to his post.
The Left Front has long been demanding that this "nest of wasps" be removed from the center of Moscow and relocated beyond kilometer 101. Given the escalating international situation, we insist that this be done as soon as possible.

Activists of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, the Leninist Komsomol, the Left Front and the Pan-Russian Women's Movement (VZhS - "Hope of Russia") held a joint protest in Penza against imperialism and the aggressive policy of the United States towards Venezuela.
Protesters condemned the US military intervention in Venezuela and demanded the immediate release of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, who were captured by the United States. They also expressed their support for other countries and peoples facing aggression by the United States and NATO.
Alexander Rogozhkin and Grigory Sakhno, members of the Central Committee of the Union of Young Leninist Communists of the Russian Federation, and Alexei Mikhalkin, secretary of the Saratov Regional Committee of the Young Lenin Communists Union of the Russian Federation took part in the protest. In their speeches, they expressed their shared opinion on the need for a united struggle against imperialism, globalism and all forms of oppression of the peoples of the world, emphasizing the importance of international solidarity and resistance to neocolonial policies.
"Only through the joint effort of all progressive forces," said the Communists and their allies, "can we resist aggression and defend the right of peoples to an independent path of development."

Members of the Komsomol held individual pickets on the main streets of Ulianovsk, expressing their firm and unequivocal condemnation of the American military aggression against the sovereignty of Venezuela and its leader, Nicolas Maduro.
As the protesters pointed out, the actions of the United States constitute a flagrant violation of all rules of international law, including the Charter of the United Nations.
Young communists are convinced that the diplomacy of gunners and brute force should be firmly rejected. Only through solidarity and defense of sovereignty principles can imperialist tyranny be stopped.
In Ufa, in Plaza Lenin, near the monument to Vladimir Ilich, communist Rustam Khafizov held an individual picket in support of Venezuela and its legitimate president Nicolás Maduro.
"This is an act of solidarity with the people who resist external interference and preserve their sovereignty," Khafizov stated on his VKontakte page.
The activist stressed that his action is a consistent implementation of the principles defended by the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.
At the same time, he pointed out the silence of other political forces in the country, used to talking extensively about the need to comply with international law, but who now seem to have remained silent.

As we have all seen in the news, on social media, or even in our own neighborhoods, ICE's violent and lawless enforcement surge is underway in Minnesota. It has cost the life of Renee Nicole Good. It continues to tear apart families, destabilize communities, and violate the freedoms of Minnesotans across our state.
We can't move forward as if this is normal. It is not. Human life is inherently the most sacred and violence against any neighbor diminishes us all.
This must stop.
WHAT HAPPENS ON FRI. JAN 23?
A unified statewide pause in daily economic activity:
+ No work (except emergency services)
+ No school
+ No shopping or consumer spending
Instead, we will gather with family, neighbors, and community to show Minnesota’s moral heart and economic power. We will also show up together to march and rally in downtown Minneapolis at 2PM
THE DEMANDS OF MINNESOTANS:
1. ICE must leave Minnesota now.
2. The officer who killed Good must be held legally accountable.
3. No additional federal funding for ICE in the upcoming budget.
These are moral common sense for a state that values truth, freedom, and life.
WHY OUR COLLECTIVE ECONOMIC POWER MATTERS
Our labor, time, and economic participation are powerful signals. A coordinated statewide pause sends a message that Minnesotans will not quietly endure fear and violence in our communities.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE
+ Mark your calendar: January 23
+ Make your plan to not work, shop or go to school on 1.23
+ Encourage your school, workplace, and community to stand with you
+ Use your voice: call, message, and speak publicly about why you are joining A Day of Truth and Freedom
Together we stand for Minnesota’s future — one grounded in safety, dignity, and common humanity.

The off duty ICE officer who shot and killed Keith Porter has not been arrested, his weapon has not been confiscated, and his name has not been revealed.
For all we know ICE could still have him on the streets still carrying out raids.
LAPD is responsible for investigating Keith’s murder, join at the LAPD’s Commission Meeting on Tuesday to demand justice.

La bandiera invincibile (1973)
Thousands of people marched through south Minneapolis to demand justice after the ICE killing of Renee Good on Jan. 10.
Protesters gathered at Powderhorn Park before making their way to the site where Good was killed. The march paused for a vigil at the memorial for the mother of three, many protesters sniffling from the cold as they relit vigil candles and clasped their hands in prayer.

Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them, according to immigrant advocacy groups.
“When searching for people detained there, the ICE locator now says, ‘Call the Florida Department of Corrections for details,’” says Luis Sorto of Sanctuary of the South, a network that offers legal services and participated in a lawsuit against the government over restrictions on access to lawyers for detainees at the infamous immigration jail.
All of the plaintiffs who were being held at the center were transferred to another location after a new lawsuit was filed in August challenging Florida’s authority to detain people there, Sorto added. That lawsuit also noted that the detainees did not appear in ICE’s tracking system.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which filed the lawsuit, described Alligator Alcatraz as a “black hole,” noting that some people were “missing,” effectively “off the radar” of the immigration system, and “their lawyers and families often don’t know where they are or how to contact them.”
Baltimore: Urgent Noise Protest
Monday, January 12 - 6 pm
City Hall, 100 Holiday St., Baltimore
The Baltimore People’s Power Assembly issued an urgent call today for the Baltimore City Council and all elected officials to act immediately to halt the escalating aggression by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) against immigrant residents and workers. This demand follows a series of violent ICE shootings nationwide and a marked increase in local raids, including a recent, conspicuous show of force by heavily armed agents along Eastern Avenue in Highlandtown.
On January 12th, the Assembly will bring its demands directly to City Hall with a noise protest during the Council session, demanding elected officials heed the community's call for protection and justice.
ICE Escalation in Baltimore
Community members witnessed a disproportionate deployment of armed ICE agents conducting vehicle stops and arrests along a major East Baltimore corridor. This brazen operation signals an intensification of terror tactics within city limits, mirroring violent incidents recently reported in Minneapolis, Portland, and Glen Burnie. These actions deliberately instill fear, destabilize families, and undermine the safety of all Baltimore residents.
Demands for Immediate Local Action
The Baltimore People’s Power Assembly presents the following demands to local officials:
Terminate All Local Collaboration with ICE: Baltimore City Government stops any and all cooperation, resources, or information-sharing with ICE.
Advocate for Statewide Policy Change: demand Governor Wes Moore prohibit ICE collaboration agreements across all Maryland counties and municipalities.
Call for the Disbandment of ICE: Baltimore’s leadership must join the growing national movement to dismantle ICE, an agency whose practices consistently violate human rights and terrorize communities.
Join the Protest: January 12th at City Hall
The People’s Power Assembly will rally the community to ensure the City Council hears our demands. We urge all residents, allies, and members of the press to join our noise protest.
What: Rally, March & Noise Protest
Date: Monday, January 12th, 2026
Time: 6 pm to 7 pm
(For those who are able gather earlier bring noise makers, signs)
Location: Baltimore City Hall, 100 Holliday Street
The people of Baltimore will not stand by while our neighbors are hunted and our communities militarized. The City Council has the power and the obligation to act now. On January 12th, we will make it impossible for them to ignore our call: Protect residents, sever ties with ICE, and fight for its disbandment. We will continue our unwavering call for justice for Renee Nicole Good and all victims of ICE terror
