The Unraveling Of Workplace Protections For Delivery Drivers

November 8, 2025 Daniel Schneider, Portside. , , , ,
American households have become dependent on Amazon. The numbers say it all: In 2024, 83% of U.S. households received deliveries from Amazon, representing over 1 million packages delivered each day and 9 billion individual items delivered same-day or next-day every year. In remarkably short order, the company has transformed from an online bookseller into a juggernaut that has reshaped retailing. But its impact isn’t limited to how we shop. Behind that endless stream of packages are more than a million people working in Amazon fulfillment centers and delivery vehicles.

The Deficit Is Not An Economic Problem; It’s A Political Weapon

November 8, 2025 James Hardwick, Canadian Dimension. , , ,
Mark Carney’s long-anticipated investment-austerity budget has finally been tabled before Parliament and it’s set to raise the deficit to $78 billion. While the details of the budget will be debated over the coming weeks, the big picture is that the prime minister delivered on his promises: expanded defence and infrastructure spending “offset” by more than $50 billion in cuts and other savings. For months Carney has been laying the groundwork for these moves, making high-profile statements about Canada’s supposed spending problem and promising to discipline government workers in order to restore fiscal sanity.

Recounting The Government’s Deceit, Murders And Denial Of Democracy

November 8, 2025 Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes. , , ,
I’ve recently finished reading the latest James Douglass exceptional historical treasure entitled Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, Martin, and RFK. Having previously read his remarkable book JFK and the Unspeakable I had a good clue what to expect from this new undertaking. I was not disappointed as I read this excellent recounting of our government’s deceit, arrogance, murderous past, wars, and denial of democracy. I am certain that any person wishing to understand our current political situation will greatly benefit from reading this monumental recounting.

The US Continues Its Attempt To Overthrow The Bolivarian Revolution

November 7, 2025 Vijay Prashad, 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. In February 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez travelled to Havana to receive the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s José Martí Prize from Fidel Castro. In his speech, he likened Washington’s threats against Venezuela to dogs barking, saying, ‘Let the dogs bark, because it is a sign that we are on the move’.

The United States Violates The Human Right To Health

November 7, 2025 Martha L. Schmidt, LL.M., J.D., Popular Resistance. , , ,
Health care activists in the U.S. have a huge struggle to get the corporate media to take the human right to health seriously. The corporate media reports on some injuries and deaths, but their doom and gloom scenarios typically conclude nothing can be changed in this private, insurance-controlled system, which doesn’t work for the people. Despite the difficult time we’re in, with millions lacking access to health care, it’s an opportunity for health care activists to increase efforts for a public, not for profit, universal system in the U.S. One way is to use the international human rights system organized through the United Nations to broadcast our message to the rest of the world and to shame the U.S.

Washington Confirms Boycott Of UN Human Rights Review

November 7, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
The US confirmed on 7 November that it will not participate in the upcoming review of its human rights performance before the UN Human Rights Council. The US mission in Geneva confirmed this week that the US's seat will remain empty during the Universal Periodic Review of its rights record, which is scheduled to take place on Friday afternoon. All 193 UN member states are required to undergo the standard review of their rights record every four to five years. Each country then receives recommendations from other member states on compliance. The US will become only the second country to boycott the UN review.

Layoffs In 2025 Second-Highest Since 2009

November 7, 2025 Chris Walker, Truthout. , , ,
A new report examining worker layoffs in the United States this year finds that the numbers through October closely resemble those seen during recessions in the past. The report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a private firm that tracks workplace hirings and firings across the country, found that there were 153,074 layoffs reported last month alone, a 183 percent increase from September. October 2025 also saw the highest number of layoffs for that month in particular over the past 22 years. Around 1.1 million layoffs have been reported in the U.S. from January to the end of October, the report stated. Major companies that posted high layoff numbers included UPS, Amazon, and Target, while tech jobs also saw big hits, with firings at a rate 17 percent higher than in 2024, the result of a slowdown in demand and new technologies.

Israel Is Trying To Divide Gaza In Half Along The ‘Yellow Line’

November 6, 2025 Palestine Bureau and Qassam Muaddi, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
Today, there are essentially two Gazas. One is ruled by Hamas as the de facto governing body in the Strip, and makes up about 47% of the territory. The remaining 53% is under the total military control of the Israeli army.  Separating these two zones is an invisible border that’s being called “the Yellow Line,” splitting Gaza roughly in half down the middle. Even though Israel has been placing yellow cement blocks all across Gaza to demarcate the line, it’s supposed to be temporary. But what makes it very real is the number of people who are being killed near it.

YouTube Deletes Hundreds Of Videos Documenting Israeli War Crimes

November 5, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , ,
YouTube, owned by Google LLC, has deleted more than 700 videos documenting Israeli human rights violations, citing compliance with US sanctions imposed on Palestinian human rights groups cooperating with the International Criminal Court (ICC), according to an investigation by The Intercept published on 5 November. The investigation revealed that the videos were removed after US President Donald Trump's administration sanctioned three Palestinian organizations over their work with the ICC on war crimes cases against Israeli leaders.

The Devastation In Melissa’s Wake And The ‘New Normal’

November 5, 2025 Roger McKenzie, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
As the extent of the devastation Hurricane Melissa has caused across the Caribbean begins to emerge, at least one thing is clear: this is the new normal. Melissa, as the highest level Category 5 hurricane, was the second-strongest Atlantic storm ever recorded. But, according to experts, it will be something we are likely to see more frequently. The even worse news is that future storms may be even more intense than this one. There is now talk that we now need a new Category 6. Scientists currently classify storms by the five-level Saffir-Simpson scale.

Summit Of The Americas Derailed Due To Tensions Caused By US

November 5, 2025 Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dominican Republic announced on Monday that the 10th Summit of the Americas, scheduled for early December, has been postponed due to deep regional differences that are hindering discussions. A new date was not provided. According to a statement, the decision followed a “detailed analysis of the political and social situation in the region” and was “reached in consensus with key partners, including the United States, the forum’s main driving force,” along with the secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS) and the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), who supported the postponement.

Fentanyl Gets Cheaper, Venezuelans Get Bombed

November 5, 2025 Gloria Guillo, LA Progressive. , , ,
In October 2025, the United States cut a deal with China to reduce tariffs on imports tied to fentanyl — the synthetic opioid responsible for more than 70,000 U.S. overdose deaths annually. The tariff on these imports was lowered from 20% to 10% after a meeting between Donald Trump and Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea, in which China agreed to work very hard to curb fentanyl related exports into the U.S. At almost the exact same time, the U.S. military was conducting lethal strikes on alleged drug-smuggling vessels off the coast of Venezuela — firing missiles into wooden boats and declaring victory in the war on drugs.

SNAP Cuts Disproportionately Hurt People With Disabilities

November 5, 2025 Hayley Brown, Center for Economic and Policy Research. , , ,
The ongoing shutdown of the US federal government threatens the distribution of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits this November. States, localities, and anti-hunger organizations are scrambling to fill the gap in federal assistance amid a massive wave of food insecurity. While two federal judges have ruled that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) must use contingency funds to keep SNAP flowing, the Trump administration announced on November 3rd that it will only cover a fraction of the usual benefits.

Trump’s Greatest Ally Is The Democratic Party

November 4, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
The only hope to save ourselves from Trump’s authoritarianism is mass movements. We must build alternative centers of power — including political parties, media, labor unions and universities — to give a voice and agency to those who have been disempowered by our two ruling parties, especially the working class and working poor. We must carry out strikes to cripple and thwart the abuses carried out by the emerging police state. We must champion a radical socialism, which includes slashing the $1 trillion spent on the war industry and ending our suicidal addiction to fossil fuels, and lift up the lives of Americans cast aside in the wreckage of industrialization, declining wages, a decaying infrastructure and crippling austerity programs.

AI-Powered Drones Used In Gaza Now Surveil US Cities

November 4, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
AI-powered quadcopter drones used by Israel in its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza are now being used to surveil US citizens, from protestors to spring breakers, in all major US cities, according to a report from the journalist project ¡Do Not Panic! published on 3 November. Hundreds of drones manufactured by the US company Skydio were delivered to Israel after the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023 for use in the strip. Now, they are flying daily above all major US cities, including Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia, San Diego, Cleveland, and Jacksonville, while automatically uploading millions of images to an evidence database.
