Neoliberalism To Trumpism: The Re-Normalization Of White Supremacy As State Ideology

To understand the current historical moment, it is not enough to catalog the reactionary policies of the Trump administration. One must understand the deeper ideological logic that makes those policies appear both rational and necessary to the ruling class. In the United States, the resurgence of open appeals to "Western civilization," the demonization of immigrants, the criminalization of anti-colonial resistance, the assault on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), and the expansion of the national security state are not isolated political developments.

Light Show Defies Smithsonian History Removal Plan

Washington DC—Third Act-DMV turned its projector lights onto the Smithsonian National Museum of American History (NMAH) late at night on Wednesday to highlight pressure to remove an history exhibit about tumultuous periods of the United States. The display focuses on the nation’s factual history of indigenous people, immigrants, enslaved people, and women, among other minority groups. It poses a basic question about the struggle of minorities to attain equality from the perspective of those adversely affected, during heightened periods of minority struggle to access the American promise.

The World’s Silence On Gaza Once Headlines Fade

Some catastrophes disappear because they end. Others disappear because they continue for so long that the world grows accustomed to them. They cease to interrupt television schedules and Instagram reels, just as they no longer command the front pages of newspapers. Financial markets return to their ordinary calculations, the daily machinery of political and economic life resumes its familiar rhythm, and diplomats are asked to put away their briefing books on that tired but painful subject. Yet, the catastrophe remains intact: the US-Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza has not disappeared because of a new peace but because the permanence of the genocide makes it unmarketable news.

Trump Seeks Extradition Of Pro-Palestine Activist Donor James ‘Fergie’ Chambers

On July 10, activist James “Fergie” Chambers was arrested in Ibiza, Spain after the Trump administration requested his extradition. Chambers, an heir to the Cox Communications family fortune, has used his vast inheritance to fund pro-Palestine organizations for years. The indictment accuses him of “international money laundering… with the intent to provide material support to and resources to foreign terrorist organizations.” Chambers is reportedly being held in a maximum security prison in Madrid while awaiting an extradition hearing.

War Crimes Case Re-Opened

The Metropolitan Police Service has reversed its decision to close a war crimes probe into U.K. nationals who fought for Israel amid the Gaza genocide, it can be revealed. The 240-page referral was first submitted by the Public Interest Law Centre (PILC) and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) in August 2025. It alleged that ten U.K. nationals —including dual citizens — had committed war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) in Gaza. Allegations against those soldiers included international crimes such as “wilful killing, extermination, attacking civilians, and deportation or forcible transfer of population.”

What Is The Global Governance Initiative About?

At the 25th Meeting of the Council of Heads of State of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, in Tianjin, China, on September 1, 2025, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward the Global Governance Initiative (GGI).  On June 17, China’s State Council Information Office released a white paper titled “More Just and Equitable Global Governance: China’s Principles, Proposals and Actions”. China stands ready to work hand in hand with Latin America and the Caribbean to implement the GGI under the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution, and shared benefits.  Let’s hope that, with the implementation of the GGI, we can create a brighter future for the world.

India’s Cockroach Rebellion And What Comes Next

They came to Jantar Mantar in cockroach masks, throwing back at power a word that power had used against them. On July 25, 2026, after weeks of protest, a twenty-six-day hunger strike by Sonam Wangchuk, baton charges, tear gas and the closure of 18 Delhi Metro stations, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation. By late afternoon on July 25, India’s students and young people had forced one of the cabinet’s most powerful figures from office. On May 15, 2026, during a Supreme Court session, the Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant, described the unemployed youth who ‘attack institutions’ as “youngsters like cockroaches”.

Building Workplace Democracy

Mat Forth and his co-workers at the Keystone Development Center, a technical assistance provider for co-ops, had a goal – to create a democratically structured workplace where they collaborated equally in governance and decision-making and prioritized the common good. “We really wanted to practice what we preached and live our values,” Forth said. That pursuit ultimately led them to the USW, which helped them connect the union with their co-op development work.  Cooperatives, or co-ops, are member-owned or worker-owned, and KDC works to support all types of co-ops.

Rochester Nurses Stood With Their Nonunion Co-Workers

What should union workers do when their nonunion co-workers come under attack? When our health care system in Rochester, New York, announced deep cuts to employee health benefits last November, “we started hearing from people right away,” said critical care nurse Carmen Camelio, president of the Rochester Union of Nurses & Allied Professionals. “And not just members. “We knew we had to do something, and we had to bring people in fast,” he said. In the span of days, union and nonunion workers came together to build a campaign that crossed job titles and worksites, forced the boss to backpedal, and inspired a wave of new organizing.

Pittsburgh Anti-War Activists Picket Home Of Senator John Fetterman

Braddock, PA – On Sunday, July 26, the International Solidarity Committee of Pittsburgh (ISCPIT) gathered outside John Fetterman's home in Braddock, Pennsylvania to protest the Senator's support of the Trump administration's increased sanctions on Cuba. This protest was held as part of the Anti-War Action Network's week of action marking Cuba’s National Rebellion Day. Organizers and attendees chanted, held signs and spoke on a variety of issues that Senator Fetterman has been on the wrong side of, focusing on his vote in April to uphold the Trump administration's ramping up sanctions on Cuba.

Chris Hedges Report: Why The US Military Is ‘Earth’s Greatest Enemy’

In their most recent documentary, “Earth’s Greatest Enemy”, Abby Martin and Mike Prysner examine the US military as not only the world’s biggest consumer of fossil fuels, but also the world’s biggest perpetrator of ecological devastation and a driver of both increasing carbon emissions and militarization in other countries. Chris Hedges speaks about the new film and why it is an important tool in the global struggle against imperialism with Abby Martin in this episode of The Chris Hedges Report. On top of the US military’s direct carbon emissions from powering warships, bombers, tanks, the vast web of foreign bases and more...

Jordanian Civil Society Figures Sign Letter Rejecting US Military Bases

Hundreds of Jordanian political and legal figures, as well as activists, have recently signed an open letter calling for an end to the US military presence in the Hashemite kingdom, according to a 29 July New York Times (NYT) report. The media outlet referred to the letter as “a rare public challenge to the [Jordanian] government,” after speaking with some of the figures involved in drafting it. “We maintain that their presence exposes Jordan to security, political, and economic risks that serve no national interest and increases the likelihood of our country being dragged into a regional conflict to which it is not a party,” the letter reads.

US Merges Wars In Eurasia, West Asia

On Friday, even as U.S. President Donald Trump was announcing the end of the latest round of the conflict with Iran, the Pentagon unobtrusively extended the war theatre to the Caspian Sea in a hugely consequential geopolitical thrust. The incident hardly figured in the Western news cycle. But CGTN (China Global Television Network), perhaps sensing that the U.S. could be stealthily spreading its war to the Caspian region, reported on July 25,  “U.S. missiles struck a Revolutionary Guards Navy headquarters in the Ziba Kenar area of the Caspian Sea province of Gilan, according to a security official in Gilan quoted by Iranian media. Provincial authorities said U.S. projectiles had also struck the port city of Bandar Anzali, according to the Iranian Labor News Agency.” 

US Sanctions Top Chinese Universities And Research Institutes

Last week, the US Department of “War” added China’s leading universities and dozens of other research organizations into a list of foreign institutions considered to be a potential “threat to its national security” over their alleged links with the Chinese armed forces. China has voiced strong opposition to the latest US sanctions, claiming the US is weaponizing its research for political reasons and argued that such moves ultimately harm global collaboration in scientific and technological developments. The list, released on July 23, includes a total of 130 institutions, 88 of which are Chinese.

US Support Of Israel Is Absolutely An Issue Of Affordability And Economic Populism

Many elements of the Democrat Party’s establishment flank are bewildered at how the zionist ethnostate of Israel’s contemptuous pogroms of subjugation, dehumanization, and genocide against the Palestinian people remain a salient issue ahead of the Midterm elections this fall. It seems as if those elements of the Democrat Party who are bankrolled by the zionist lobby believed the issue of Israel’s genocide would fade away after a series of ignominious electoral losses in 2024, including that of former Vice President Kamala Harris.
