US Citizens Deported By Zionist State After A Week Of Detention

December 18, 2025 International Solidarity Movement. , , , ,
New York-based Irene Cho and Boston-based Trudi Frost, who were arrested by Israeli forces last Friday, remain in custody at the Givon prison after Israeli courts have summarily denied all their appeals while refusing to examine the evidence proving they have committed no offense. They are expected to be deported later tonight from Ben Gurion airport.  Cho and Frost were arrested on Friday, December 12, in the West Bank village of al-Mughayyer while staying with the Abu Hamam family, which is threatened with forced displacement by military and settler violence.

Trump’s Cuts To Infrastructure Projects Harm Working People

December 18, 2025 The Stand, Portside. , , , ,
You’re going to have the American dream back,” promised then-candidate Donald Trump on the campaign trail in 2024. But nearly a year into the President’s  second term, his administration is failing to live up to campaign promises. In fact, the Trump administration’s actions are pushing the dream of economic security and dignity even farther out of reach for working families across the U.S. Countless headlines have rightfully covered executive orders stripping a million federal workers of union rights. They’ve detailed legislation that defunds healthcare and nutrition programs while funneling money to massive corporations and billionaires.

US Economy Becoming Highly Dependent On New, Untested AI Industry

December 18, 2025 C. J. Polychroniou, Truthout. , , , , ,
Over the last few years, artificial intelligence (AI) has become extremely popular in Silicon Valley and is widely regarded as the most transformative technology in the 21st century. In fact, it is already reshaping sectors like education, transportation, finance, health care, media, and telecommunications. Indeed, it is estimated that about 60 percent of jobs in advanced economies may be impacted by AI, which means that it could affect economic growth, employment, and wages. As a result, investment in AI is booming across industries, echoing the late-1990s dot-com era, with investors pouring billions into AI in the hope for a big payday.

US Racist Immigration Policy Toward Haiti Reinforces Imperialism

December 17, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
On November 26th 2025, the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti using nearly identical language to the TPS cancellations earlier this year for displaced Venezuelans and affecting upward of 353,000 Haitian migrants. In both cases, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that continued protections were “not in the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States,” affirming U.S. policy abuses redefine their “interests” at a whim.  While the U.S. has long politicized displacement from leftist states like Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, casting migrants as evidence of socialism’s failure and selectively offering protections when it aligns with Washington’s broader regime-change goals, Haitian migration has been structurally and historically precarious.

US Prison Horror Show Plays On

December 17, 2025 John Kiriakou, Consortium News. , , ,
Hopes for a major restructuring of the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) a year into President Donald Trump’s second term in office have come to naught.  Trump in June named former federal prisoner Josh Smith as the BOP’s deputy director. It was a bold and, in my view, progressive move. While greeted with hostility from the union representing federal corrections officers, it inspired hope among the tens of thousands of prisoners in federal custody.  Many of us thought that the next step would be something equally bold — perhaps to turn away from private prisons, which have cost the government millions of dollars in lawsuits because of wrongful deaths in custody, or perhaps to institute programming that would better prepare prisoners for release and for reintegration into society. 

An Activist Guide To Trump’s National Security Strategy 2025

December 17, 2025 John Price, Rabble.ca. , , ,
“We’re not just waiting around to see what happens,” said Mich González of the Southeast Dignity Not Detention coalition in New Orleans as they prepare to challenge ICE deportation raids in their communities.  “We’re talking to our brothers and sisters that organized in Los Angeles, that organized in Chicago, that are organizing and continuing to protect each other in North Carolina, and we’re taking all their lessons,” said González Thousands of miles away, Chief Marilyn Slett of the Haíɫzaqv Nation and secretary-treasurer of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs declares: “We will not stand by while the Carney government and Alberta attempt to bulldoze our rights and disregard the catastrophic risks of a spill in the corporate profit interests of the global fossil fuel industry.”

US Expands Military Encirclement Of China Across The Pacific

December 17, 2025 Gary Wilson, Struggle La Lucha. , , ,
At a Pentagon meeting on Dec. 10, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and his counterparts from Australia and Britain pledged to move “full steam ahead” with AUKUS, a trilateral military pact through which the United States is turning Australia into a forward operating base and nuclear-submarine hub for a potential war on China. In a joint statement, the three governments made clear the pact is about accelerating war preparations — building bases faster, expanding military staffing and pushing weapons development at full speed.  The announcement came as the United States deployed a pair of nuclear-capable bombers to patrol the Sea of Japan, escorted by Japanese fighter jets. 

One Battle After Another: The Big Contract Fights Coming In 2026

December 17, 2025 Keith Brower Brown and Natascha Elena Uhlmann, Labor Notes. , , ,
The coming year could keep the strikes rolling through steel mills, state offices, telephone lines, axle plants, baseball diamonds, and hospitals from coast to coast. Union contracts expiring in 2026 could open up major fights by manufacturing, education, entertainment, and government workers. The contract covering 20,000 Verizon workers in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic expires on August 1. Since their seven-week strike in 2016, the Communications Workers and Electrical Workers (IBEW) have agreed with the company on two contract extensions—but not this year.

Proposed EPA Cuts Further Imperil Environmental Protections In Cash-Strapped States

December 17, 2025 Joe Fassler, DeSmog. , , ,
Massive cuts at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have hampered state-level regulators’ ability to rein in pollution, according to a new report. And now, with the Trump administration pushing for even deeper cuts at the agency in 2026, many states across the country may be in a dire position. “If EPA’s capacity to do its job is further diminished, how prepared are our states to shoulder more responsibility for protecting us from these threats? Unfortunately, not well,” Jen Duggan, executive director of the Environmental Integrity Project (EIP), the nonprofit behind the report, said in a Wednesday press conference on the findings.

We Are All Somalia

December 16, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
On two recent occasions, Donald Trump, president of the United States, engaged in a racist meltdown against the African nation of Somalia and its citizens who migrated to the United States. In the first instance, he called Somalia the “worst country on earth” and claimed that Somalis “destroyed” Minnesota and turned it into a “hell hole.” Not long after, while speaking to the press at a cabinet meeting, he referred to a member of congress, Ilhan Omar, as “garbage.” He also used the term to describe everyone coming from her home country of Somalia.

Rebranding Genocide

December 16, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
First, it was Israel’s right to defend itself. Then it was a war, even though, by Israel’s own military intelligence database, 83 percent of the casualties were civilians. The 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, living under an Israeli air, land and sea blockade, have no army, air force, no mechanized units, no tanks, no navy, no missiles, no heavy artillery, no fleets of killer drones, no sophisticated tracking systems to map all movements, or an ally like the United States, which has given Israel at least $21.7 billion in military aid since Oct. 7, 2023.

Is The Labour Government Willing To Let Hunger Strikers Die?

December 16, 2025 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
In Britain, pressure is mounting on the Labour government to respond to demands put forward by dozens of activists imprisoned for direct action in support of Palestine, many of whom have been on hunger strike since early November. “The hunger strike, which involves eight prisoners for Palestine, is now on day 40,” the campaign Prisoners for Palestine wrote on Friday. “They are in the danger zone, where irreparable harm is likely, and their health becomes critical.” Even before launching the strike, the prisoners had pressed for a set of demands, including fair trial, deproscription of direct action group Palestine Action, and an end of Elbit Systems operations in the country.

How Your Engagement Ring Helps Fund Genocide In Gaza

December 16, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , ,
Did your engagement ring help fund a genocide in Gaza? Quite possibly. Despite possessing no mines of their own, Israel is a major player in the world’s diamond business, buying up minerals across Africa and selling them to the West, netting billions in the process. Diamonds are Israel’s most important export, and directly bankroll the country’s ongoing genocide against the people of Gaza. MintPress explores the dark world of Israeli blood diamonds. Any visitor walking through Tel Aviv’s exclusive Ramat Gan district will be struck by its wealth. Skyscrapers are everywhere, and expensive jewelry stores lines the streets.

Deadly US Strikes Hit Eastern Pacific Hours After Fentanyl Declared WMD

December 16, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The US military carried out an airstrike targeting several alleged drug-trafficking boats in the eastern Pacific Ocean late on 15 December, killing eight people just hours after US President Donald Trump announced that Washington is officially declaring Fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction (WMD). The army’s Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) said it bombed “designated terrorist organizations” with “lethal kinetic strikes.” SOUTHCOM added that eight were killed – “Three in the first vessel, two in the second, and three in the third.”

Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance

December 16, 2025 Melissa Gira Grant, The New Republic. , , ,
Lucy says she starts early because ICE starts early. It’s around eight o’clock one Thursday morning in late October, at a coffee shop in Back of the Yards, a neighborhood on Chicago’s Southwest Side. Taped inside the shop’s glass door, a sign warns ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant. (The agents very rarely bother to get one.) More signs surround it: “Hands Off Chicago”; “Migra: Fuera de Chicago”; the phone number to report ICE activity. (These are all over town.) Free whistles sit at the register. Lucy buys a black coffee from the barista and joins me at a table, checking her phone for messages about potential sightings—not just of ICE, but also Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies, such as the FBI and ATF, tasked with arresting immigrants in neighborhoods like this one.
