We invite your comments on Facebook or Twitter.   While it is right and necessary to unite with people broadly in opposing the injustices and outrages committed by those who rule this country, and while this has taken on heightened importance with the coming to power of the Trump/Pence fascist regime, it is a basic truth that without breaking with American chauvinism—without confronting the very real horror of what this country has been, and what it has done, here and all over the world, from its founding to the present—and without coming to deeply hate this, it is not possible, in the final analysis, to retain one’s own humanity and act in the highest interests of all humanity. - Bob Avakian Join Saturday's Out Now Protests For locations outside of Southern California, click here.  In Los Angeles: We Demand: Trump/Pence #OutNow - No War On Iran! Saturday, January 11 at 2 - 5 PM 1090 Westwood Blvd, LA 90024 In the first days of January, Trump ordered the assassination of the high ranking Iranian military leader, Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani. This is objectively an act of war which massively escalates the threat of further conflict and suffering for the people of Iran and the whole region. EVERY DAY THAT THE TRUMP/PENCE REGIME REMAINS IN POWER THREATENS THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY AND THE PLANET. Everyone with a conscience must face this hard truth. But that alone is not enough—we must now ACT ON IT. Read more and join the Facebook event
