YouTube And Big Tech Censorship Threatens Global Accountability

December 11, 2025 Majd Jawad, Mondoweiss. Educate! Censorship, Palestine, Social Media, War crimes, YouTube

In a stark escalation undermining global efforts to preserve accountability for Israeli violations, Palestinian civil society organizations have been hit by an unprecedented campaign to erase their digital archives and silence their documentation work. What began as a U.S. political decision has now translated into sweeping and coordinated digital censorship, threatening decades of human rights documentation that formed the backbone of Palestinian legal submissions to international courts. For years, Palestinian human rights groups have meticulously collected evidence of Israeli abuses, from targeted killings and home demolitions to torture and violations against detainees.

YouTube Wipes UK Journalist’s Archive After Israeli-Linked Pressure

December 11, 2025 Al Mayadeen, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Censorship, Freedom of Expression, Genocide, Human Rights, Illegal Settlements, Journalism, Silicon Valley, YouTube

In February 2024, YouTube unexpectedly removed the account of independent British journalist Robert Inlakesh, a frequent contributor to Al Mayadeen English, The Intercept reported. His channel held dozens of videos, including many livestreams documenting Israeli occupation in the West Bank. Over roughly ten years covering developments in occupied Palestine, he filmed Israeli forces tearing down Palestinian homes, police stopping and intimidating Palestinian drivers, and soldiers firing at Palestinians and journalists during demonstrations outside illegal settlements. All of that footage vanished instantly.

Worker Leader, Released From ICE Custody, Speaks Out

December 11, 2025 Sarah Lazare, In These Times. Educate! Chicago, Detention, ICE, Immigrant Rights

Willian Giménez González is a day laborer in Chicago known for organizing for workers’ rights. He was part of a group that filed a federal lawsuit over the alleged beating and harassment of day laborers at a Home Depot. On September 12, federal agents detained him outside of his barbershop, beginning a 47-day ordeal in which he was held in the Broadview ICE detention center in Illinois and then moved to the North Lake detention center in Michigan. The abduction came in the early days of “Operation Midway Blitz” as the Trump administration dramatically ramped up the presence of heavily armed, masked federal agents throughout the Chicago area.

Ontario First Nations Are Building A Village To Block Mining Project

December 11, 2025 Jon Thompson Ricochet. Educate! Canada, colonization, First Nations, Landback, Mining, Northern Ontario

There’s a brand-new clearing on the point above the rapids on the Attawapiskat River, 70 kilometres from Neskantaga First Nation. By the time Ontario’s planned Northern Link road is built to the edge of this river in 10 years, Neskantaga’s chief says those living in a permanent settlement here will be there to block the bridge and the highway into the Ring of Fire. “It’s going to be a village,” Gary Quisess says. “People are going to move away from the reservations. We’re so compressed with reservations, in the box. People are going to move away, back to the old ways where people lived separately, all over the place. That’s the way of our life, our culture.”

Inside The Israel Lobby’s Lesser-Known Tool For Influencing Congress

December 10, 2025 Andrew Ancheta, Mondoweiss. Educate! AIPAC, Congress, Israel, Lobbyists

While AIPAC has attracted increased scrutiny for its influence on national elections, the Israel lobby also has another route to political influence: travel. Each year, private donors invite large contingents of American politicians on free tours of the Holy Land, making Israel the largest international destination for paid congressional travel. Israel accounted for over a quarter of the international gift travel so far this year. House members and their staff accepted 156 invitations to Israel during the first nine months of 2025, significantly exceeding the 117 trips made in the entire previous year.

Elbit Systems At Center Of NATO Corruption Investigation

December 10, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Educate! Corruption, Elbit, Israel, NATO, weapons

Israeli weapons giant Elbit Systems is at the center of a corruption investigation involving NATO’s procurement agency, according to a series of reports published by the French outlet La Lettre in collaboration with Belgian and Dutch partners. As part of this ongoing inquiry, contracts between the company and the war alliance, estimated in the millions of euros, have been frozen, the media organizations suggest. The outlets reported that internal NATO communications dated July 2025 listed 15 contracts as suspended after inquiries were launched against current and former employees of the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA).

FBI Making List Of American ‘Extremists,’ Leaked Memo Reveals

December 10, 2025 Ken Klippenstein, Black Agenda Report. Educate!

Attorney General Pam Bondi is ordering the FBI to “compile a list of groups or entities engaging in acts that may constitute domestic terrorism,” according to a Justice Department memo published here exclusively. The target is those expressing “opposition to law and immigration enforcement; extreme views in favor of mass migration and open borders; adherence to radical gender ideology,” as well as “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” and “anti-Christianity.” That language echoes the so-called indicators of terrorism identified by President Trump’s directive National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, or NSPM-7, which the memo says it’s intended to implement.

Report Downgrades US Civic Rating To ‘Obstructed’

December 10, 2025 Chris Walker, Truthout. Educate! Civil Rights, Law Enforcement, State Repression, United States

A new report from an international organization dedicated to tracking civic freedoms throughout the world has downgraded its rating for the United States, due in large part to policies enacted by the Trump administration. The report, which was published on Monday, comes from a group called Civicus, which monitors “the state of civic freedoms — including freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly — across 198 countries and territories.” The U.S. was previously rated as a “narrowed” society, in terms of civic freedoms. In its new report, Civicus now rates the U.S. as an “obstructed” society.

House And Senate Agree To Make Draft Registration ‘Automatic’

December 10, 2025 Edward Hasbrouck, AntiWar.com. Educate! Military Draft, NDAA, Selective Service, Trump Administration

An amendment to the Military Selective Service Act to direct the Selective Service System (SSS) to try to register all potential draftees in the USA automatically has been included in the version of this year’s military authorization bill agreed to by a House-Senate conference committee and likely to be enacted into law within the next few weeks. This doesn’t mean that a draft is being activated right away, or that any or all of those “automatically” registered will be sent induction orders – although preparing to do so is the sole purpose of registration with or by the SSS.

Pro-Trump Heartland Institute’s European Network

December 10, 2025 Adam Barnett, DeSmog. Educate! climate denial, Donald Trump, European Union (EU), Heartland Institute

A year ago, as the world convulsed from Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, his allies were already identifying their next frontier. In December, the Heartland Institute hosted a private event in Mayfair, one of London’s wealthiest areas, to announce the launch of its new UK-Europe branch. The launch was attended by former Conservative prime minister Liz Truss and current shadow trade and business secretary Andrew Griffith, with Reform UK leader Nigel Farage as the star speaker. The Heartland Institute is proudly one of the world’s foremost climate science denial groups, with extensive ties to the Trump administration. It contributed to Project 2025 – the blueprint for Trump’s second term, drafted by the Heritage Foundation.

Europe In Panic Over US Strategy For Stability With Russia

December 9, 2025 Alastair Crooke, Consortium News. Educate! European Union (EU), NATO, Trump Administration, Ukraine, Wars and Militarism

A National Security Strategy (NSS) is produced periodically by U.S. administrations (President Donald Trump authored one during his first term). Mostly these documents lay out an idealised version of an administration’s foreign and security policy, and do not have great practical import — because of what is left out — i.e. entrenched U.S. political and economic interests; the deep foreign policy consensus overseen by the curator class of the deep security state; and the policies espoused by the mega donor collective. Nonetheless, this recently-released NSS reads rather differently by putting a distinctive “America First” gloss to U.S. foreign policy

Every Voting Tech Hack Washington Blamed On Venezuela Was Invented In Ohio

December 9, 2025 Gloria Guillo, Uncontrolled Opposition. Educate! Fraud, Transparency, Venezuela, Voting, Wars and Militarism

Every voting tech hack that Washington claims was “invented in Venezuela” was discovered, demonstrated, and documented in the United States years — sometimes decades —before Smartmatic even existed. Full Stop. With President Trump’s false narco-trafficking claim boomeranging back and re-exposing the U.S. governments longstanding involvement through its military and CIA in cocaine and heroin trade, its state department is running out of excuses that justify stealing Venezuela’s crude oil to prevent higher prices that could result in the dreaded 1973 event of “dropping trucks off the road.”

Why Walmart Wants To See The Starbucks Barista Strike Fail

December 9, 2025 Derek Seidman, Truthout. Educate! Starbucks Workers, Strikes, union busting, Unions, Wlamart, Worker Rights

Thousands of Starbucks workers across a hundred cities are nearly one month into an expanding, nationwide unfair labor practice strike in protest of the coffee giant’s “historic union busting and failure to finalize a fair union contract,” according to Starbucks Workers United, the barista union that has spread to over 650 stores since its birth in Buffalo four years ago. The strike comes after years of illegal anti-union antics by Starbucks and follows a historic $39 million settlement announced on December 1 for more than 500,000 labor violations committed by Starbucks management in New York City since 2021.

The American Dream, We Hardly Knew You

December 9, 2025 John Miller, Dollars and Sense. Educate! American Dream, Capitalism, Social Mobility, Wages, wealth inequality

If Americans’ hopes of getting ahead have dimmed, as the Wall Street Journal reports yet again, it could only be because the lid of the coffin in which the “American Dream” was long ago laid to rest has finally been sealed shut. The promise that if you work hard and play by the rules, you will get ahead, or if you don’t, surely your children will, was broken long ago. And today’s economic hardships have left young adults distinctly worse off than their parents, and especially their grandparents. This long decline has stripped away much of what there was of U.S. social mobility, which never did measure up to its mythic renderings.
