EMERGENCY! No More Business as Usual! Trump Must Go NOW!
Saturday, August 30th, 6 p.m.
Do you burn in anger when immigrants and US citizens with brown skin are chased down, kidnapped by heavily armed masked gangs wearing no ID or insignia, at workplaces and in the fields? When children are torn from their parents? When people who have worked here for decades are tased, arrested, deported, tortured?
Did you hate the occupation of LA by Marines and the National Guard? the rubber bullets and tear gas shot at protesters standing up for basic rights? And now Trump is sending the national guard to Washington DC?
Were you appalled to see universities under attack across the country? And to watch them cave in to MAGA fascist demands to suppress protests, speech, and thought against the genocide in Palestine?
Are you grappling with crucial questions: where did this Trump regime come from? Why is America full of fascists? What does it have to do with the whole history of American capitalism, going back to slavery and genocide? What can we do to defeat this and move to a world far beyond this?
In this moment when it is late but not too late to stop the Trump fascist regime, do you refuse to let yourself sink into paralysis, self-absorption, and despair?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, you are needed NOW to join in the fight to “Shut Down The Whole Trump Fascist Regime...Trump Must Go—NOW!”
Come to Revolution Books to discuss why is all of this is happening and how can we stop this fascist regime.
Come and Discuss: “Stop the Censorship and Thought Control In the Teaching of Palestinian and Israeli History! Universities—As Institutions—Must Refuse to Comply With Trump’s Fascist Takeover!”
Thursday, September 4th, 7 p.m.
For years there has been scholarship, political education, and organizing on campuses in opposition to Israel’s domination of Palestine. With the genocidal Israeli response to the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, many campuses erupted into protest and counter-protest. Many campus administrations called in police to violently suppress pro-Palestinian students and professors. Pro-Palestinian groups were banned on many campuses. Students were expelled.
This suppression was justified by falsely equating criticism of the legitimacy and policies of Israel with hatred of Jewish people, in other words saying anti-Zionism (opposition to the state of Israel) is the same as anti-Semitism (being against Jewish people as Jews). The Trump regime has wielded this lie as a club to force the universities to greatly restrict academic freedom, scientific rigor and critical thinking. Universities are being turned into the servants of a fascist takeover of society. It is not an exaggeration to say that this threatens the universities in a fundamental way. This is one important piece in the overall MAGA agenda of shredding rights, unleashing racism and misogyny, denying science, militarizing cities, unconditionally backing genocide in Gaza. It must be stopped.
This discussion will center on four crucial questions and points:
Is it true as Trump/MAGA fascists insist that any criticism of the legitimacy of Israel or of Israeli policies is anti-Semitism? How should we respond to the genocide in Gaza?
What kind of damage is done to the universities when anti-Zionism is equated with anti-Semitism? Why are academic freedom, scientific rigor, and critical thinking in the universities such a threat to the fascists now in power?
What would it take for institutions like universities, museums and art organizations to stop the current wave of capitulation to Trump’s demands?
Everyone who hates Trump should support the organization RefuseFascism.org’s call for massive non-violent protest aiming to drive the fascist regime from power, beginning with flooding Washington DC on November 5.

“An Imperialist Parasitic Harvest: Savagely Exploitative and Entrenched, A contribution on the Historical Roots of the U.S. Domination of Mexico”
Saturday, September 13, 6 p.m.
Come to a Presentation and Discussion by Revolution Books on this new pamphlet by Juan Rojo. It was published by www.revcom.us and is available at the bookstore and online. Its editors wrote:
"We are proud to announce the publication of “An Imperialist Parasitic Harvest: Savagely Exploitative and Entrenched… A contribution on the Historical Roots of the U.S. Domination of Mexico,” by Juan Rojo. Rojo’s new-communist analysis of the U.S.-Mexico relationship would be welcome and important at any time. But coming today, when the fascist regime now running the U.S. insists on turning reality upside-down and scapegoating Mexico and especially Mexicans as parasites and criminals, Rojo’s work is a critically important and valuable reality check as to who are the real parasites and criminals. We urge you to read, study and spread this."
