Trump is threatening to sic thousands more national guard troops and militarized police on working class people, and Black communities are in the crosshairs.

It is clear we need to build a mass movement of the working class and poor to fight back against Trump’s attacks — but where do we begin? ⬇️

Socialist Alternative members around the country have been out at colleges and high schools this week talking to students about getting organized and fighting capitalism.

Early August marked 1 year since the #EndBadGovernance protests rocked Nigeria, with millions of young & working people standing up against the govt's massive increases in the cost of living. 1,000+ were arrested - including ISA member Daniel Akande: internationalsocialist.net/2025/08/one-...

Behind Enemy Lines: Lessons For Elected Socialists Following the surprise victory of Zohran Mamdani, a member of Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), in NYC’s Democratic mayoral primary, many on the left are thrilled. If implemented, Mamdani’s bold...

Following Zohran Mamdani’s surprise victory in NYC’s Democratic mayoral primary, many on the left are thrilled. If implemented, Mamdani’s bold platform would represent a historic win for working people. But what will it take to make these demands reality? www.socialistalternative.org/2025/07/16/b...

Only an international struggle that unites workers and the oppressed against the entire capitalist class can end the violence, war, and brutal oppression faced by billions around the world! Learn more & get involved @ internationalsocialist.net

Learning from Marxists involved in struggles across the world is necessary to strengthen our struggles in the US; we aren't the only country w/ an authoritarian figurehead attacking immigrants, slashing social services, and pouring billions into war – in fact, these are global trends.

Socialist Alternative members from 10+ cities in the US joined socialists from Nigeria, Britain, Sweden, China/Hong Kong/Taiwan, Brazil, and many other countries to collectively build our revolutionary socialist international.

Last week, 32 Socialist Alternative members from the US had the opportunity to attend International Socialist Alternative's 2025 summer school, held July 25-30 in Kiel, Germany (the site of the sailors' riot that helped end WWI). 🧵

The announcement of a new left-wing political party marks a potential fundamental turning point for workers and young people in Britain, and the US movement against Trump stands to learn much from this effort. Read more: www.socialistalternative.org/2025/07/10/n...

When Queers & Coal Miners United: Lessons For Today In the 1980s, while President Ronald Reagan’s administration was breaking a strike of 11,000 air traffic controllers and ignoring the AIDS epidemic, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was carrying out h...

In the 1980s, Conservative PM Margaret Thatcher was carrying out brutal attacks on the British working class. But these attacks on the British working class also inspired deep solidarity between unlikely allies: big-city queers & rural Welsh coal miners. www.socialistalternative.org/2025/05/25/w...

5 years since the murder of George Floyd, police violence has continued to perpetuate death & destruction in Black communities across the country.

I'm Sick of Being A “Supermom": This Mother's Day, Fight Capitalism If you search “working mom routine” on TikTok, you'll find moms talking about their 5-9/9-5/5-9 schedule, with no rest or breaks. Moms will be waking up early to work out, then ping-ponging between ma...

This Mother’s Day, let’s channel the militant feminist struggles of the past and fight for the world we and our children deserve.

The anti-Trump protest movement is growing. May Day rallies across the country have the potential to be explosive.

The next step is to escalate to a nationwide one-day strike that brings the whole capitalist system to its knees! www.socialistalternative.org/2025/04/23/w...

Bernie Sanders Rally Tour Exposes Mass Anger At Trump & Do-Nothing Democrats: But What Comes Next? A recent CNN poll reports that 77% of Democratic voters believe Democrats in Congress are doing too little to oppose Trump’s agenda. Sixty-five percent say that Democratic politicians need to stay pri...

Although it has never been more clear the Democrats won’t save us, unfortunately, Bernie is not pointing towards building the new working class party we need. Learn more: www.socialistalternative.org/2025/04/04/b...

As the Democrats do nothing, Bernie Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies have been breaking records, bringing out tens of thousands of ordinary people who are looking for a way to fight back against the right wing.

Scrap the tax burden for workers—tax the rich to fund education, social services, and the things we need to survive!

Workers should not foot the bill for the essential services our society needs while mega-billionaires hoard their wealth. We deserve a thriving society, with exceptional health care, flourishing schools, and gorgeous public parks.

When major corporations like Amazon and Tesla skip out on their annual taxes, the burden is put on ordinary citizens to fund our schools, repair our roads, and keep our water clean.

While an overly stressed populace struggles to make sense of the American tax process, a minority of billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk never deal with such ire. New tax laws are written every year, full of tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

This year, Trump plans to use tax filings to identify undocumented immigrants. That means undocumented immigrants must either give up their information to Trump’s IRS or refuse to file their taxes and risk substantial penalties, including deportation.

Every year, ordinary people must navigate the American tax system. Independent contractors and small business owners dig through receipts and 1099 documents, trying to determine which expenses will save them money.

TAX DAY 2025 - This Tax Day, fight for the billionaires to pay - not working people!

This Tax Day, fight for the billionaires to pay — not working people! 🧵

Join Socialist Alternative on April 19 at a protest near you, and demand the freedom of Mahmoud Khalil, Mohsen Mahdawi, Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, Rümeysa Öztürk, and every other person who has been taken from their homes and families by the authoritarian Trump regime!

This Saturday’s “Hands Off!” day of action should be used to unite and strengthen these movements, as a show of force against the Trump regime’s attacks on immigrants, free speech, and the right to protest.

Immigrants across the country are under severe attack, and we need to fight back by uniting the anti-Trump movement with the anti-war movement.

Mahdawi is yet another university student being targeted by the Trump administration for protesting or even just having pro-Palestinian beliefs.
