Internal Feuds Threaten Socialist Plan for 2028 General Strike

On March 7, 2026, 400 activists gathered for the YDSA’s 'Rooted in Struggle' conference, a high-stakes strategy session aimed at 2028. Co-sponsored by the Jacobin Foundation, the event was all about aligning student energy with the UAW’s plan for a May Day general strike. While they’re celebrating wins like Zohran Mamdani’s NYC mayoral run, the official narrative ignores some serious cracks in the DSA’s foundation. This Gen Us report breaks down how this media-funded pipeline aims to turn student anger into a professional political force just in time for major economic disruption.

Wyoming's 'GRANITE Act' Defies Global Push to Regulate US Tech Platforms

Spain Locks Gates on US Bases as Trump Threatens Trade War

Spain has officially slammed the brakes on U.S. military operations at Rota and Morón, refusing to let the bases be used for strikes against Iran. While it looks like a moral stand on the surface, the real story is a messy mix of treaty law and the survival of Spain's leftist coalition. President Trump is already firing back with talk of a trade embargo, but the EU's trade wall makes that a complicated threat. It's a massive test for NATO that Gen Us has broken down, looking at the treaty fine print and economic risks that most reports missed.

Beyond the Theater: The Military Reality of the US-Iran 'Total War' Narrative

Talk of a total war and the supposed assassination of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is everywhere right now, but there's just no proof.
