Want to hear something scary?

Unleaded gasoline in October 2025 averaged $3.13 a gallon. This October, it’s 38% more, at $4.33. Diesel averaged at $3.73 in October 2025. This October, the national average is $6.38, over 70% more and an all time high. Talk about spooky 😱👻

It’s not some coincidence. We’re paying more for fuel because the Trump Administration joined Israel in needlessly attacking Iran, starting a war Trump swore he’d never engage in. In early September, seven months into what Americans were promised would last only a few weeks, U.S. fuel prices rose to over $200 a barrel.

This isn’t a horror movie—this is our new reality. And that oil supply is draining more every day.

While our pockets drain under the cost of fuel, energy, and transported goods, our money goes right back into funding this war. They tighten our wallets on both ends: taxpayer funded bombs that are used to close the most important oil choke point in the world.
Paligen and other bomb factories keep this unwanted conflict going with our money. They get to make this supply shock worse, every day, and kill people abroad with our money.
Innocent civilians are terrified of our bombs. We’re terrified of not being able to afford basic necessities like fuel and food.

There’s a villain in our backyard, murdering children and making us pay for it. Why are we letting the nightmare continue?

Grand Rapids, MI – On Saturday, October 10, activists from across Michigan came together in Grand Rapids to unite their campaigns to divest from apartheid Israel and discuss the importance of such campaigns to the wider antiwar movement.

“These discussions around strategy and tactics are constantly on an organizer’s mind,” said Anthony Hegarty, the emcee for the panel. “The end goal is to get people moving politically, to build up the mass movements, to transform our society, and to strike blows against our enemies. These are not easy tasks. So how do we get there? What methods do we use? How do we respond to failures and successes? To sum it up, we learn by doing. By hitting the streets and fighting for our demands.”

Daanyal Syed from the Detroit Antiwar Committee told the crowd, “We are beginning to target the city of Detroit pension plan, which, across the separate plans, has a total of $6 billion in investments. At every step along the way we are denied information. So we're beginning with a disclosure campaign. We want to know what the city employees’ pensions are invested in. And if there are investments in Israeli companies, we are going to demand they drop those investments.”

Similarly, Libby Sinn and Nick Young from Grand Rapids spoke on their pension plan divestment campaign:

“There's precedent for this. Grand Rapids divested from apartheid South Africa in the 80s after a campaign forced the city to meet their demands,” explained Sinn. “We want them to repeat what was done in the past.”

New York, NY – A group of eight activists attended the October 15 arraignment of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores in a show of support for the kidnapped Venezuelan leaders. The activists included representatives of the Anti-War Action Network, Freedom Road Socialist Organization and leaders of the New York City Latin American community.

At the hearing, President Maduro and Cilia Flores both entered the courtroom with chains shackled to their feet. Maduro waved to the crowd watching the trial, knowing a plurality of the crowd were U.S. federal agents and escualidos who supported his kidnapping and U.S. invasion.

On Thursday, October 15th, Clevelanders took the fight to the Zionists, and staged a stand out and car caravan outside of an event meant to facilitate purchasing stolen Palestinian land. The people of Cleveland held the line against police interference and Zionist counter protestors. The action successfully caused disruption to the event, and showed the Zionists that we are not afraid of them. Stop the genocide! Stop the land theft! Free Palestine!

As progressive people of conscience, we oppose and condemn the latest of the fabricated, hypocritical, and politically motivated charges against President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores. Like the previous indictments, these charges are part of the U.S. government’s attempt to seize control of Venezuela’s oil, out of the hands of the Venezuelan people and their government. The charges are false. The U.S. government had no right to abduct President Maduro and First Lady Flores in the illegal invasion of Venezuela on January 3, and the entire trial is illegitimate.

It is clear that the U.S. justice system, an apparatus that regularly engages in its own torture and political repression of U.S. citizens, will not give President Maduro and First Lady Flores a fair trial. Maduro and Flores have retained Barry Pollack and Mark Donnelly, two of the leading trial lawyers in the United States, for their defense team, and Flores herself is a skilled lawyer who represented Hugo Chávez in the 1990s. Nevertheless, before the defense ever enters the courtroom, decisions have already been made by a 92 year old judge who has spent years immersed in the government’s arguments. There is no presumption of innocence.

Despite the lip-service the indictment pays to the will of the Venezuelan people, these charges and the trial itself are a flagrant violation of the Venezuelan people’s right to determine their own destiny. If the trial proceeds, it will set the precedent for the U.S. government to kidnap and jail the leader of any country that seeks to chart its own path, independent of U.S. financial and political interests.

Justice will be found only by building the movement against U.S. imperialism. The people are the makers of history, and we need to speak out and say: the charges against President Maduro and First Lady Flores must be dropped, they must be freed and returned to Venezuela, and the U.S. must cease all intervention in Latin America and around the world.

Today members of RAWC attended a pretrial hearing of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores who have been held prisoner in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center since the Trump administration attacked their country and abducted them. At this hearing we saw further false charges added to a case already filled with false accusations and blatant lies. We demand the charges against President Maduro and First Lady Flores be dropped and for the U.S. to keep its hands off Venezuela!!
