PI Briefing | No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough States unite to take unprecedented legal action to halt the genocide in Gaza.

"This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act."

The 26th PI Briefing of 2025 is online now.

Block Baerbock From the UN Only a movement millions strong can stop Baerbock's presidency at the United Nations General Assembly.

NEW 🚨🇵🇸 The BDS Movement has joined the campaign to block Baerbock.

There are just 60 days to stop Annalena Baerbock, who attacked South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel as "baseless", from becoming the next President of the UNGA.

It’s official: Russia's retaliatory strike was carried out with the “Oreshnik” Medium Range Ballistic Missile system and a hypersonic warhead, Vladimir Putin said. Russia is prepared to use these against countries whose weapons are used against it.

I hope people understand by now that if you do not adequately deter the genocidal Western axis with measured but firm responses to their escalating violence, they will exterminate you.

Months ago, a senior US official said that the ICC was "built for Africa and thugs like Putin". Today, it has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant — a sign, however symbolic, that international law could not survive the flagrant barbarism of the Zionist entity.

BREAKING: The ICC has issued an arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli defence minister Yoav Gallant for "crimes against humanity and war crimes".

In a saner world — faced with a genocide and this catastrophic, reckless escalation — the masses would rise up against the warlords in power and tear down the walls of Whitehall, the Élysée and the White House. But we find apathy and it is terrifying.

Evidence increasingly suggests that Storm Shadow and ATACMS missiles cannot be targeted by Ukraine alone, which implies that the United States and Britain have formally entered the war against Russia. If so, we are seconds away from midnight.

There is empirical evidence that the mere existence of the Soviet Union was responsible for dramatic improvements in the lives of workers across the Western world. The threat of revolution pushed capitalist states to make unprecedented concessions to working people.

The majority of Ukrainians want the fighting to end, just as Biden launches a potentially terminal escalation in the NATO proxy war against Russia.

Ukraine is not defending democracy. It is lining the pockets of war profiteers on Wall Street.

We do not need to imagine what would happen if Cuba attacked the US with Russian missiles, because the mere presence of defensive Soviet missiles on Cuban soil saw the US come inches away from destroying all humanity.

For months, @progintl.bsky.social has worked with a broad coalition to map corporate complicity with the genocide. This work has already helped stop ships carrying arms to occupation forces. Now, we identify over 400 complicit companies and plan to organize workers within them to resist.

While the Zionist entity continues to exterminate the Palestinian people, the Kiev regime is escalating the proxy war against Russia to a point of no return. We need to be clear about the stakes: two fascist, desperate US proxies are threatening the very survival of humanity.

BREAKING: Kiev claims to have launched US long-range ATACMS missiles against Russia, just a day after Biden authorised their use.

What an honour to join Booker Omole and other comrades from the Communist Party Marxist - Kenya for the Party’s Second National Congress in Nairobi. Their unwavering commitment to scientific socialism and internationalism is an example to all the world’s progressive forces.

Biden is doing his utmost to spark WWIII before his term ends. Insanity.

There is a thread that runs from Toussaint L'Ouverture's Haitian Revolution to Yahya Sinwar’s Al-Aqsa Flood.

My inaugural piece for Protean Magazine looks at Haiti, the cradle of internationalism: https://buff.ly/3UUXu0b

The Cradle of Internationalism Paweł Wargan writes about the participation of Polish soldiers in the Haitian Revolution as one of the primary historical sites of left internationalism—an internationalism that is sorely needed…

"Haiti’s internationalism prefigured the forms of solidarity that are demanded of us today."

I wrote about Haiti, internationalism, and one of my favorite stories from Polish history: the time Napoleaon sent our troops to fight in Haiti, and they mutinied against him.

Colectivos y sindicatos piden al Gobierno un protocolo de inspección a los buques que van a Israel y un embargo…

BREAKING 🇵🇸🇺🇸 A new investigation from the Palestinian Youth Movement and the Progressive International reveals the hidden routes of military shipments from the USA to Israel through the Mediterranean Sea — setting up an international showdown against Maersk.

The Uyghur genocide myth was seeded by Mike Pompeo’s State Department and lapped up by 90% of the Western left.

Holding my breath for the conspiracy theories to emerge from Marco Rubio’s office.

Once again, the West in its entirety voted against a UNGA resolution — co-sponsored by 40 states — on combating the glorification of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices that contribute to fuelling racism.

On 7 November 1917, the Russian working class sent shockwaves through the world by overthrowing the Tsar, dismantling Russia’s budding capitalism, and establishing history’s first proletarian state.

One of the great cruelties of the war in Ukraine is that if the hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian casualties had US-American mothers and fathers, the war would have long become untenable for Washington. But they export the grief, just like they export attributions of responsibility. Cowards.

DPRK ICBM launches are a whole vibe.

Earlier this week, I spoke with Charles Xu from the Qiao Collective about Palestine, China, and resistance to imperialism at the gates of Asia. You can watch that discussion here: https://buff.ly/4egtxPi

The Gaza Resolution Popular movements, parties, and unions across the world issue a pledge to stand for Palestinian liberation and sever ties of complicity with the State of Israel.

One year ago — just days after the genocide began — over 60 movements from 25 countries signed the "Gaza Resolution", an unflinching condemnation of Zionist colonialism and a pledge to stand with the Palestinian people in their pursuit of liberation.

PI Briefing | No. 41 | The slow birth of the new world The North is clinging to a world order long past its due date; the South is mobilizing to build a new one.

"The current multilateral order, built by US power after the Second World War when much of the world was still formally colonised, is driving humanity off the edge of a cliff."

PI Briefing No. 41 is online now.
