Beloved, have you felt so hopeless over your sin that you’ve forgotten the forbearance of God? You told yourself it would be the last time.

As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as...

Have you ever wondered, “Am I codependent or bad at relationships? Am I a toxic person?” Where do you go to figure yourself out, including your patterns of relating? We do (and don’t) want to know why we tend to be conflict-avoidant, often angry at people, or desperately clingy, fearful, and insecure. The internet will...

We pen this editorial amidst growing authoritarianism and violence around the world, from the Israeli state’s continued genocide in Gaza to the unfurling fist of the Trump administration quashing immigration raid protests in Los Angeles. It seems we are experiencing what Nancy Fraser (2019)—paraphrasing Antonio Gramsci—refers to as an era in which “the old is… Read MoreHousing disputes, struggles, art and resistance in a time of violence »| Radical Housing Journal

Although it is a generally accepted principle that specialization is an adaptation or elaboration of a generalized form, practical experience has shown us that this is not the case when it comes to the current formation of local, primary, organizations within the U.S.-Canadian capitalist block. To be clearer, organizers who reach class-consciousness and begin their work at the local level tend to first start with one-sided work; if and when their organization deepens its roots and labor avail...| The Red Clarion
The editorial board stands in solidarity with the brave Communists in CPUSA who are fighting for the democratic rights one expects in a “party” that claims to adhere to any kind of democratic centralism. The letter we have published below came to us through third party hands; Unity–Struggle-Unity Press has no membership in the CPUSA and has no influence on the party’s internal politics save for what we publish. It is clear that the leadership of this party, rightly referred to as a ...| The Red Clarion
My midwife told me when I was birthing my second baby girl that if I held my breath the contractions would hurt even more. My natural reaction in pain is to tense my muscles and hold my breath to avoid the pain.

Yesterday, marched with thousands of people through the streets of Chicago, chanting "Love Trumps Hate". I saw a little Latina girl, maybe 8 years old, carrying a sign which read: "Mr. Trump.
