Yemeni Socialist Party: Iran the Last Remaining Obstacle Before “Greater ‘Israel'”; We Stand With the Islamic Republic


“From the first day of the victory of the Iranian Revolution in 1979, the Revolution decided to close the Israeli embassy in Tehran, hand it over to the Palestinian embassy, expel all Zionist interests from Iran, and replace them with Palestinian interests.

The Islamic Republic of Iran announced its support for the Palestinian Revolution until the elimination of the Zionist entity in all of Palestine.

From that day, Zionism, America, and the entire imperialist West were driven mad. From that day, the forces of injustice, aggression, and violation decided to eliminate the Iranian Revolution.

Today, Israel and America, along with the colonialist West, want to create a “New Middle East,” which means “Greater Israel” from the Nile to the Euphrates. They believe that the remaining obstacle before Greater Israel is the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Therefore, we hear and see these days American and Zionist military mobilizations, the likes of which history has never seen, for the purpose of uprooting this obstacle. This would mean the elimination of the Arab nation so that Israel can be established from the Nile to the Euphrates.

Accordingly, the Socialist Party stands firmly with the Islamic Republic of Iran and stands against the American-Israeli aggression and against the criminal mobilizations aimed at eliminating our Arab peoples.

Victory for the great Palestinian people, victory for the Islamic Republic of Iran, and shame to America and Israel.

Unwavering Faith In Collective Power — Anarchist Political Prisoner, Peppy, is Free


Some years ago, Krystal and I departed downtown Pittsburgh with a farewell kiss. We know love when free is liberating and when held in defiance of oppression is revolutionary.

We left with an unwavering faith in the collective power accompanying us through the hardship of an all-too-common journey, in the clutches of the carceral state.

Now I return to the point of departure, having fared well with your hands at my back every step of the way. I return to my comrades’ arms for a moment to pause and breathe; we are still not free until all are free.

I took a ride along the contours left by the wounds of a system fixated on war. What these 971 days behind the walls have gifted is attunement to the shadowed sorrow that state, capital, and alienation are so committed to.

I exited the closed prison today for the open prison of “community confinement”, a half-way house. From within and against these prisons, it is clear that abolition is only rational if we seek war’s end. Beyond idealism is the practical matter of placing hurt people with other hurt people in battle royale ghettos. AI will not resolve social inequities.

My eyes saw ingenuity and cleverness, hallmarks of determined people to find a way. Your letters and shared stories, from Minneapolis to Gaza, upheld this heart in which our new world is carried.

May we find many ways together!

In Solidarity, Pep

My current favourite introductory (undie-level) #textbooks on #QuantumComputing #QC are these:

• "Introduction to Quantum Computing: From a Layperson to a Programmer in 30 Steps"
— H Wong (EE), 2024, shorturl.at/1wdEz

• "Introduction to Classical and Quantum Computing"
[FREE]— T Wong (physicist), 2022, shorturl.at/rNjRw

Both books are aimed at college seniors majoring in CS or maths. While these texts may be a bit clunky for the physics or EE upperclassmen's liking, they could serve as a gentler introduction to #QuantumMechanics #QM for the freshmen in these disciplines.

I prefer H Wong's book, but T Wong's book is also superb (and it is free). I recommend the students read both. This sure is a rare case of two Wongs making one right.

Also, EE upperclassmen should read H Wong's other books:

• "Quantum Computing Architecture and Hardware for Engineers: Step by Step, Volume 1"
— H Wong, 2025, shorturl.at/4Fe1e

• "Quantum Computing Architecture and Hardware for Engineers: Step by Step, Volume 2"
[FREE]— H Wong, 2025, shorturl.at/WafIP

NB—QC maybe but a #hype, for the time being. It may yet grow into something practicable, in the near future. But then, it may not. Be that as it may, the concepts that sprang from Feynman's 1982 seminal paper on the physics of #ReversibleComputing are fascinating all their own, so the undergrads in physics, EE, CS, and maths should at least be familiar with them. After all, no substantive knowledge is ever superfluous. And more importantly, QC can be a springboard, an enticement even, for these kids to dive into the fascinating ocean of QM, or at least dip into an intriguing classical computing pond of #ProbabilisticComputing.

Islamic Jihad Deputy Secretary-General Mohammed Al-Hindi Statement on “Peace Council”


The Peace Council meeting was a theatrical performance that has no relation to what is happening on the ground in terms of killing and destruction, which did not stop even during the performance itself.

The reality is that Trump has decided to collect billions of dollars on the back of destroyed Gaza, not for its reconstruction or relief, but to control its future and the future of Palestine and the region.

The council belongs to U.S. President Donald Trump, the holder of absolute authority, which includes in its membership “israel,” which is still committing crimes in Gaza four months after the announcement of the ceasefire, according to Trump’s 20-point plan, which Arab and Muslim leaders are rallying around in support and blessing.

This plan gives sovereignty to Trump, security to “israel,” and municipal management affairs to the Palestinians. All details are controlled by the sovereign (Trump), whether regarding the date of the entry of the technocratic committee, the entry of aid, the opening of crossings, the start of reconstruction, and so on. As for the mediators, their role ended with the completion of discussions regarding the prisoner exchange deal.

In this Peace Council meeting, the “israeli” vision was imposed, stating that the surrendering of weapons is the gateway to reconstruction, while the Trump administration turned its back on the issue of the “israeli” withdrawal from Gaza and the crimes of the enemy in the West Bank including land confiscation and settlement.

That administration also covered up all of “israel’s” crimes and reneged on its obligations, and any effort or pressure to change this equation was absent.

Palestine was excluded from this Summit, while some talk about a Palestinian state as the West Bank and Al-Quds are being stolen before everyone’s eyes.

The commander of the international force that will be deployed in Gaza and the decision-maker in it is the American who wants to deploy it to occupy Gaza, regardless of any other statements; is the deployment of twenty thousand soldiers to monitor the borders of Gaza, which are 50 kilometers long—meaning an average of 400 soldiers per kilometer? Is this monitoring or occupation?!

We have no choice but more steadfastness and adherence to the land as a way to overcome this crisis; there is no other option.

Le Service de renseignement extérieur russe (SVR) affirme que le #Royaume-Uni et la #France se préparent activement à fournir des armes nucléaires à Kiev.

Selon le SVR, Londres et Paris chercheraient à masquer ce transfert en le présentant comme un développement #nucléaire purement ukrainien.

Le communiqué précise :
« Il s’agit d’un transfert clandestin de composants, d’équipements et de technologies européennes vers l’ #Ukraine. Parmi les options envisagées figure l’ogive nucléaire française TN75, conçue pour le missile balistique lancé depuis sous-marin M51.1. »

Le SVR ajoute que Berlin aurait « sagement refusé » de participer à cette initiative, jugée comme une grave violation du droit international, notamment du Traité de non-prolifération nucléaire (TNP), avec un risque majeur de destruction du régime mondial de non-prolifération.

Five Cuban Women Resistance Stories That Defy U.S. Blockade Brutality


Cuban Women Resistance has become the defining characteristic of a nation under siege for more than six decades. The United States’ severe economic, commercial, and financial blockade has transformed daily life into an obstacle course that tests human endurance at every turn. This siege strikes not only the economy but reaches into the very heart of Cuban homes, where women have emerged as the backbone of survival and defiance.

In recent weeks, this pressure has intensified with new restrictive measures from Washington aimed at preventing fuel from reaching the island, triggering an energy crisis that once again tests the Caribbean nation’s capacity to reinvent itself. But amid scarcity, popular organization emerges, and above all, the strength of Cuban women shines through.

Healthcare Under Siege: Women Fighting for Life


Emma Doris Ricardo Santana knows intimately the weight of these restrictions. A mother and university-level teacher, her life took a dramatic turn when aggressive breast cancer forced her to leave the classroom. The blockade interfered directly with her recovery: the scarcity of cytotoxic serums prevented her from receiving complete treatment within the expected timeframe.

The lack of medications was compounded by the ordeal of transportation, forcing her to make pilgrimages to three different hospitals. Despite everything, Emma resurged thanks to the commitment of Cuban public healthcare and an unbreakable network of affection and solidarity.

“Medicines heal, but solidarity also cures. That’s what makes you get up,” she says with a recovered smile, though her eyes reveal a latent concern that never fully disappears.

Her 10-year-old daughter Claudia suffers from a growth disorder. The necessary reagents and hormones do not reach the island due to sanctions. “The family’s priority is her. The little one requires treatment that we still cannot do in Cuba,” Emma explains with heartbreaking clarity.

But far from surrendering, Emma remains firm in her convictions. “I have my boots on. We will not be intimidated; surrender has no place in Cubans. We decide our own destiny, no one else,” she declares with unwavering determination.

The Dream of Motherhood Against All Odds


At 29 years old, Rocío Rincón has a single objective in life: to become a mother. A civilian worker at the Carlos J. Finley Hospital, she lives with a pituitary tumor that has prevented her from fulfilling her dream. In her home, a Yoruba altar and a painting of five angel girls guard her deepest longing.

“None of those creatures are mine, but achieving having a baby is my goal,” she confesses with profound sadness, yet remarkable serenity. Rocío is grateful that her treatment is free thanks to the Cuban healthcare system, although the instability in medication supply—which often depends on donations from friendly countries—casts a constant shadow over her hopes.

“Too many people are suffering because of this blockade. With Trump, the situation is much more aggressive; these are measures to suffocate us, but they will not succeed,” Rocío states firmly, reflecting the sentiment of thousands of women who, between scarcity and faith, refuse to let go of the reins of their future.

The Cuban Women Resistance movement is not organized in formal structures but emerges organically from the daily struggles of mothers, daughters, sisters, and grandmothers who refuse to allow external pressures to dictate their destiny or diminish their dignity.

Geopolitical Context: A Six-Decade Siege


The U.S. blockade against Cuba represents one of the longest-standing economic sanctions in modern history, dating back to the early 1960s. This comprehensive embargo has been condemned repeatedly by the United Nations General Assembly, with near-universal opposition from the international community. The measures restrict Cuba’s access to international financial markets, limit trade opportunities, and create severe obstacles for acquiring essential medicines, medical equipment, and food supplies.

The humanitarian impact extends far beyond economic statistics, affecting every aspect of daily life from healthcare to education, from energy access to food security. Women, who traditionally bear primary responsibility for family welfare and community cohesion, face disproportionate burdens as they navigate these manufactured shortages while maintaining households and caring for children and elderly relatives.

The recent tightening of sanctions under successive U.S. administrations has specifically targeted fuel shipments, creating cascading effects throughout Cuban society. Energy shortages affect hospitals’ ability to operate equipment, schools’ capacity to provide education, and families’ basic ability to cook food or preserve medications. This strategic pressure point reveals the blockade’s true nature as a tool of collective punishment rather than a legitimate foreign policy instrument.

Community Manuel Isla: Cultivating Sovereignty in the Most Remote Corner


Far from the bustle of the capital, the Manuel Isla community—named in honor of a young martyr of the Revolution—stands as a model of self-management. There, professionals, educators, and workers have built an oasis of resistance that demonstrates the power of local solutions to global problems.

In this environment lives María Eva Puentes Torres, a Santiago baker over 60 years old who works wearing an apron adorned with bunnies and fights against blackouts to deliver her cakes. Each tart is a work of art and resistance, crafted with determination despite the obstacles designed to break her spirit.

“The blackouts take away our ability to work and affect my university daughter’s studies, who cannot even charge her phone to see her subjects,” she confesses indignantly, her frustration palpable yet controlled.

However, her stance remains unshakeable in the face of adversity. “This country is ours. We will resist with creativity. No one surrenders here,” María Eva declares with the quiet confidence of someone who has weathered countless storms and emerged stronger each time.

The Cuban Women Resistance exemplified by María Eva extends beyond individual survival to community building, food production, and the preservation of cultural values that external forces seek to undermine through economic warfare.

Ainara: The Voice of the Future That Knows No Fear


Cuban bravery knows no age limits. Ainara Neira Reyes, at just 11 years old, speaks with the maturity of someone who understands that her school is a trench of values and principles. Although the blockade limits her pencils, notebooks, or even the possibility of practicing volleyball because there are no balls, she feels protected by her teachers and community.

“The pioneers will always move forward,” affirms Ainara, who stays informed daily and understands that external hatred seeks to break her spirit but will never succeed.

Her message to children around the world is one of pure solidarity and unwavering hope. “We are going through a difficult moment, but if you go through something similar, from here we will support you. Do not let yourselves be defeated!” she proclaims with the clarity and conviction that only childhood honesty can provide.

The young pioneer represents the next generation of Cuban Women Resistance, proving that dignity and determination are not learned behaviors but inherent qualities that flourish even under the most challenging circumstances.

The Language of the “Indomitable Guerrilla”


As Tatiana Coll, a historical collaborator of the island and witness to the historic 1970 harvest, well remembers, Cubans have a special nature: perhaps in routine they may seem relaxed, but “as soon as the defense trumpet sounds, no one surpasses them.”

They activate in guerrilla mode, a characteristic that Fidel taught them and that today women—from the baker to the pioneer—embody with a dignity that knows no surrender. This capacity for rapid mobilization and creative problem-solving has become the hallmark of Cuban society’s response to external pressure.

In Cuba, resistance is not just a political concept; it is the hand of a mother baking a cake in the dark, it is a girl defending her right to study, and it is a community that, faced with the lack of fuel, decides to grow its own food. Solidarity and sovereignty, definitively, have a woman’s face.

The Cuban Women Resistance movement demonstrates that true strength lies not in military might or economic power, but in the unbreakable human spirit that refuses to be conquered, the community bonds that strengthen under pressure, and the unwavering belief that a people’s destiny must be determined by its own hands, not by foreign powers seeking to impose their will through starvation and scarcity.

1/ Τελικά ποιοι υποστήριξαν Τραμπ κ ήταν τα 'μεσαία στρώματα'; Οι ψηφοφόροι χωρίς πτυχίο πανεπιστημίου ψήφισαν Τραμπ με μεγάλη διαφορά, ενώ εκείνοι με πτυχίο ή ανώτερο τίτλο σπουδών πήγαν στη Χαρις (16% παραπάνω, 40-56%).

4/ H εκλογή Τραμπ το 2024 βασίστηκε σε ψηφοφόρους χωρίς πτυχίο ανεξάρτητα από το εισόδημα. Η εκπαίδευση τελικά λειτούργησε ως ισχυρός κοινωνικός διαχωριστικός παράγοντας. Το εισόδημα από μόνο του δεν καθορίζει τη συμπεριφορά των ψηφοφόρων αλλά όταν συνδυάζεται με την εκπαίδευση,

5/ εξηγεί γιατί οι ψηφοφόροι του Τραμπ με μεσαίο εισόδημα συχνά δεν έχουν πτυχίο πανεπιστημίου, ένα μοτίβο που ήταν εμφανές σε εθνικό και σε πολιτειακό επίπεδο.--
