The Keweenaw Socialists strongly condemn the murder of Renee Good by ICE Agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis yesterday. This was an act of willful and avoidable violence committed by an agent who was in no danger and absolutely does not constitute an act of self defense, as is being claimed by the government and those on the right. This is the 33rd death directly caused by ICE since the start of 2025. As expected the police have immediately closed ranks in defense of this heinous act and investigation into the incident by state authorities has already been quashed at the highest level, thereby removing any possibility of justice being served through the "correct channels." ICE constitutes an active threat to every person living in the United States and must be actively resisted everywhere it is present. It must be abolished and those who carried out these inhuman acts must be made to answer for their many crimes. We, the mass of working people, are the only ones who can keep us safe and we must all act to resist ICE, demand it be abolished, and that ultimately justice is done.
The Keweenaw Socialists strongly condemn the abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro as well as the killing of at least 80 Venezuelans and Cubans at the hands of the US Military. This action is one of blatant, naked imperialism for the purpose of stealing Venezuelan resources to the benefit of American corporations. We condemn this attack as well as proposed attacks on Greenland, Cuba, Mexico, and other South and Central American countries. We stand in solidarity with the people of Venezuela and we know that in time the forces of liberation for the working people of South America will prevail. We join countless others in demanding the U.S. send President Maduro and his wife home.
The Democratic Party has once again proven unable to do what is necessary to protect the nation from descending further into fascism. They have shown that they are unwavering in their support for genocide and all manner of humanitarian crimes against Palestinians. They have shown that they are more than willing to race the Republican Party to the right on immigration and social issues. They have shown that they are entirely unwilling to give up their unpopular neoliberal policy which continues to deteriorate the material conditions for working people in America. They will blame their loss on the Left and on the working class that they claim to represent, as they always do, despite their loss being entirely of their own doing. The Democratic Party no more represents the interests of the working class than does the Republican Party. Both represent the interests of Capital and when given the chance, American Liberalism, like Liberal ideologies before it, will choose fascism over freedom and democracy.
As it stands now, the working class is staring down the quad barrels of a second Trump presidency, a Republican House and Senate, and a Conservative majority Supreme Court. Everything necessary to carry out Agenda 47, Project 2025, and more in the next four years and beyond. The rights and safety of women, trans people, immigrants, people of color, indigenous people, and all those who organize on the left are in very real and imminent danger. The gutting of reproductive rights, massive and bloody programs of deportation, widespread repression of trans people, and the purging of political dissidents loom large just over the horizon. We cannot mince words, in a few months fascism will be in full swing on American soil.
However tempting it may be we must not despair, the past cannot be changed but the future is not yet set. Political action cannot and must not stop at the ballot box. Now is the time to organize. Now is the time to organize mutual aid, and direct action, and agitate the working class to act for our collective liberation. Now is the time to join together with your fellow workers and get ready to fight like hell for our common future and for the future of the planet. We have nothing to lose but our chains and we have a world to gain!
The Keweenaw Socialists have joined as a supporter of the March on the DNC 2024 Coalition to call upon the 2024 Democratic National Convention to Stand with Palestine and End U.S. Aid to Israel and to heed the demands of working class movements across the United States.
On May 1st, 2024, International Workers Day, members of the Keweenaw Socialists made visits to the graves of two individuals who served in the Abraham Lincoln Brigades. Members left flowers and flags to honor the service of these men in defense of international socialism against the forces of fascism and reaction.
The Keweenaw Socialists strongly oppose any escalation on the part of the United States of the conflict in and around occupied Palestine. Direct or proxy war with Iran is absolutely unacceptable. We stand in solidarity with Palestinian resistance and all other forces which are struggling against the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
We continue to call for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, the cessation of all military aid to Israel, and the resumption of all humanitarian aid to Palestinians. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

A list of resources on how you can help bring an end to the genocide of Palestinians.
The Keweenaw Socialists continue to stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine. We mourn the thousands of Palestinian and Israeli lives lost in the last week’s violence, the tragic result of decades of Israeli occupation and apartheid. We unequivocally condemn Israel’s disproportionate, genocidal siege and bombing of Gaza, which has already killed thousands of civilians. We also condemn the US and other governments which have allowed Israel to pursue this mass murder unchecked, and call on them to immediately pursue a ceasefire. But while a ceasefire would mitigate the worst of the current crisis, true liberation is not possible except by dismantling the systems which oppress the Palestinian people. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!
