A U.S.-drafted UN resolution endorsing President Donald Trump’s Gaza “peace plan” passed in the Security Council on Nov. 17. Palestinians responded immediately: This was not peace — it was a blueprint for foreign control.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
In the United Nations’ Humanitarian Situation Update #340 on the Gaza Strip (12 November 2025), there is a section on the distress experienced by more than 1 million Palestinian children in Gaza. The most common symptoms among children reported in the assessment are ‘aggressive behaviour (93 per cent), violence toward younger children (90 per cent), sadness and withdrawal (86 per cent), sleep disturbances (79 per cent), and education avoidance (69 per cent)’. Children account for about half the population in Gaza, where the median age is 19.6 years. They will struggle for a very long time to overcome these symptoms. There is no end in sight to the concrete conditions that produce them, namely the ongoing genocide and occupation.

Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez read Granma together, underscoring a shared commitment to media that serves the people, not the oligarchs.
Fidel Castro was one of the great communicators. He focused on the problems of raising the cultural level so that people could gain control of their own destiny.

Major tech companies–OpenAI (GPT), Google (Gemini), Anthropic (Claude), Meta (Llama), and xAI (Grok)–are spending heavily to boost the computing power of their respective large language artificial intelligence (AI) models. The companies claim that this spending will transform them into systems that businesses will happily pay to use and, in the near future, lead to artificial general intelligence powered machines capable of autonomously solving problems and making decisions far better than humans.

A new generation, a deep inheritance
The new mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, embodies a new political generation — but also a singular intellectual legacy: that of his parents.

There is something poetic about the fact that one of the earliest full-length biographies of Lenin in English was written not by a loyal communist, but by a defector who had once shared rooms with revolutionaries and later found refuge in the empire Lenin swore to destroy. David Shub’s Lenin: A Biography (1948) is a strange, contradictory creature—half witness, half prosecution, born in the shadow of the Cold War yet still carrying the scent of the barricades. Shub knew Lenin. He studied him. He even admired him—until history demanded that admiration be recast as testimony for the prosecution. The result is a document that cannot help but betray itself. For buried beneath the liberal moralizing and the psychoanalytic chatter is something Shub never quite manages to extinguish: a grudging awe for the mind that restructured the world.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Since early September, the United States has given every indication that it could be preparing for a military assault on Venezuela. Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research partnered with ALBA Movimientos, the International Peoples’ Assembly, No Cold War, and the Simón Bolívar Institute to produce red alert no. 20, ‘The Empire’s Dogs Are Barking at Venezuela’, on the potential scenarios and implications of US intervention.

When Baroness Hallett published her original draft terms of reference, children did not even appear. Many of us wrote in to the consultation, and were granted with a 4 week module which has just concluded. As ever, BiologyPhenom has done an amazing job reporting almost every day and with clips which should be a ‘Must watch’.

The prospect of a democratic socialist who has said billionaires shouldn’t exist becoming the mayor of New York City has the ruling class in a tizzy. But Kathryn Wylde, head of one of the city’s most powerful business lobbies, has a message for her rich friends: don’t worry so much.

Back in 2020, Ofcom, the UK broadcasts regulator, performed a pivotal role in censoring dissenting voices opposed to the dominant covid narrative. Ominously – based on their June 2025 document titled, ‘Consultation: Online Safety – Additional Safety Measures’ – it is clear that the executives in charge of Ofcom are not satisfied with their current powers to curate what we have access to in the media, and are now striving for more control over the population’s listening and viewing habits.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
On the last day of October 2025, leaders from the 21 nations of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum will meet in the city of Gyeongju in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) for the organisation’s 33rd summit. Since its founding in 1989 in Canberra, Australia, APEC has promoted building a zone of ‘free and open trade’ – a concept outlined by the Bogor Goals, which came out of the summit in Indonesia in 1994.

As predicted, the toxic atmosphere unleashed by far-right mischief makers on social media, extremists on the streets and their appeasement via a Dutch auction between Labour and Tories as to which can ‘reduce numbers’ the fastest and the most, has led to unprecedented levels of racial harassment and attack. In this week’s calendar, among incidents of racist abuse in a mosque and the beating of a 60-year-old Afghan man who suffered a broken foot, we document the horrific attack on an Asian woman in Walsall.

The federal government shutdown is a fight between Trump and democrats, but it is also emblematic of the tenuous nature of the welfare state in the U.S. The duopoly parties are both committed to carrying out austerity policies on behalf of the ruling class.
