The Truth About The ‘Gen Z’ March In Mexico

November 25, 2025 Kurt Hackbarth, Jacobin Magazine. Educate! Astroturf, Billionaires, Media, Mexico

A youth march with the notable absence of youth. A march against violence that ended with deliberately provoked violence. A nonpartisan march with one of its key proponents in the pay of the nation’s conservative party. A march inspired by imagery from the hit left-wing comic One Piece descending into a maelstrom of far-right hate. The contradictions surrounding Mexico’s so-called “Generation Z” march on November 15 — also known as the “15N protests and riots” — are abundant. Moreover, they provide an object lesson in the “franchise model” of international demonstration symbolism in which a domestic event is appropriated to suit the agenda of the franchisees.

How ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago’s Working Class

November 25, 2025 Sarah Lazare, In these Times. Educate! Chicago, ICE, Immigrants, Worker Rights

When federal immigration agents thread through her Chicago neighborhood and circle above her home in a helicopter, Araceli hides with her husband. “You hear the whistles,” she says through an interpreter. “You hear the people yelling, ‘Don’t go out! Stay inside! There’s immigration here!’ ” Sometimes they are forced to hide for days. “It’s alarming, it’s not normal, it’s like being in a crisis,” explains Araceli, who is 55 and originally from Mexico City, though she has lived in Chicago for 30 years. That means Araceli often misses work as an apartment cleaner and her husband misses work in construction.

Locals Fume As Meta AI Data Center Upends Entire Community

November 25, 2025 Brad Reed, Common Dreams. Educate! Data Centers, Louisiana, Meta, Public safety

The tiny town of Holly Ridge, Louisiana will soon be home to a massive $27 billion artificial intelligence data center being built by Facebook parent company Meta that, when finished, will be the largest in the world. However, residents of Holly Ridge do not feel honored that they are at the epicenter of Meta’s ambitious data center buildout, which they say has upended their entire community. As reported by New Orleans-based public radio station WWNO last week, the nonstop parade of trucks driving through Holly Ridge has led to a 600% increase in vehicle crashes over the last year, including three truck crashes that occurred just outside Holly Ridge Elementary School.

Report: Trump-Led ‘Board Of Peace’ Considers ‘Expropriating’ Gaza Land

November 24, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Donald Trump, Gaza, Israel, Occupation, Palestine, Report

Following the passage of a UN resolution authorizing the US plan for post-war Gaza, President Donald Trump's so-called "Board of Peace" is considering 'expropriating" land from Palestinian owners displaced from the Israeli-controlled half of the strip, Haaretz reported on 23 November. Citing US officials and diplomats, the Israeli newspaper said the Board of Peace, headed by Trump, would be a "cornerstone" of the US plan for Gaza. "As outlined in the United Nations Security Council resolution adopted this week, the Board of Peace will coordinate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and facilitate Gaza's development," one US official said.

International Israeli Occupying Forces Volunteers: Today’s ‘Sniper Tourists’

November 24, 2025 James Ray, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Bosnia, History, Israel, Militourism, Palestine, Snipers, Zionism

“I think those are bullet holes.” Those were the first words I muttered to my classmate on the bus into Sarajevo, Bosnia, during a brief visit in 2019. We had flown in from Frankfurt, Germany, as part of a study abroad program researching the interactions between the European Union (EU) and the post-Yugoslav and post-Soviet spheres. The program, as we quickly learned, amounted more to a lesson in how the German-dominated EU exploited the people of former communist projects for its own economic gain. Still, in the moment, all we could think of was how beautiful and, at the same time, damaged the city we were entering truly was.

Let’s Debunk The NY Times’ Anti-Venezuela Vomit

November 24, 2025 Lee Camp, Substack. Educate! New York Times (NYT), Propaganda, Venezuela, Wars and Militarism

It’s time to yet again decode / debunk / defenestrate the pro-war garbage pumped out by the New York Times. This time they’re trying to make sure the US invades Venezuela. Apparently just blowing up fishermen in the Caribbean is not enough for the bloodthirsty clowns worthy of starring in Stephen King’s It. They want a full-blown disaster like the US invasion of Iraq. Let’s pick apart just a portion of the propaganda in their opinion piece “The Case for Overthrowing Maduro” (which many argue is actually a case for canceling your New York Times subscription).

Education Dismantling Ignores Tribal Nations

November 24, 2025 Levi Rickert, Native News Online. Educate! Department of Education, Education, History, Indigenous Peoples

As Congress weighed releasing the Epstein files last week, the Trump administration quietly announced plans to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education — shifting programs that serve Native students to other agencies without consulting a single tribe. Call it what you want: a strategic distraction, a bureaucratic reshuffling or business as usual for this administration. For Indian Country, it’s a violation of federal law. Tuesday’s announcement transferred key programs that serve Native students from the Department of Education to the departments of the Interior and Labor, with additional programs reassigned to Health and Human Services and the State Department.

COP30 Backpedals On Climate Action

November 23, 2025 Bob Berwyn, Scheer Post. Educate! Brazil, climate crisis, COP30, Fossil Fuels, Global Warming

Belem, Brazil—After negotiators at COP30 retreated from meaningful climate action by failing to specifically mention the need to stop using fossil fuels in the final conference documents published Saturday, the disappointment inside the COP30 conference center was as pervasive as the diesel fumes from the generators outside the tent. This year’s United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was billed as the “COP of Truth” by host country Brazil, but it could go down in history “as the deadliest talk show ever,” said Harjeet Singh, founding director of the Satat Sampada Climate Foundation in India and strategic advisor to the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative.

The Ongoing Battle Over Israel Within The US Labor Movement

November 23, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. Educate! Israel, Labor Movement, Palestine, Zionism

This year, on the eve of International Workers’ Day, General Federation of Trade Unions in Gaza, published a call to the U.S. labor movement. “This war would not have been possible without the unlimited U.S. support for the occupation, whether through military funding, political and diplomatic backing, or arms deals that kill our children, women, and elderly every day,” it read. “The U.S. administration under Trump has continued what the previous administration started, becoming a direct accomplice in genocide, ignoring the voices of millions inside and outside of the United States, and an overwhelming majority of the nation, who reject this brutal aggression.”

Security Council Shamefully Grants Colonial Domination Over Palestine

November 23, 2025 Marjorie Cohn, Truthout. Educate! Genocide, Germany, International Court of Justice (ICJ), International Law, Legal System, Palestine, United Nations

In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly committed the UN’s original sin when it partitioned Palestine to create Israel. This launched the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of the Indigenous people, and the establishment of a settler colonial state. Now, 78 years later, the UN Security Council has committed the UN’s second cardinal sin. It enshrined Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian lands, put its imprimatur on Israel’s genocide, and granted colonial control over the lives of the Palestinians to the United States, which has aided and abetted the genocide.

Did Germany Mislead The World Court?

November 23, 2025 Leon Wystrychowski, People's Dispatch. Educate! Gaza, Genocide, Germany, International Court of Justice (ICJ), Israel, Israeli Apartheid, Israeli Occupation, Nicaragua, Operation Al Aqsa Flood, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity

Since April 2024, Germany has been on trial before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague. Nicaragua had filed a case against the Federal Republic, accusing it of complicity in the genocide in Gaza. As has now become known, German representatives may have made false statements in their very first testimony before the ICJ in April 2024, concerning the arms exports delivered to Israel. As Drop Site News (DSN) and the liberal German magazine Stern reported in a joint article, there are now serious doubts about Germany’s statements. They cite comments from the German Defense Ministry, obtained through a press law procedure before a German administrative court.

The Shutdown Is Over, But Millions Are Set To Lose Food Stamps

November 23, 2025 Reyanna James, In These Times. Educate! Big Beautiful Bill, Food Insecurity, Food stamps, Government Shutdown, Hunger, SNAP

The roughly 42 million Americans who rely on food stamps did not receive their November 1 SNAP benefits as the government shutdown dragged on. The missed payments came just as the holiday season began, leaving many families struggling to put food on the table. Lines at food banks backed up traffic across the country. The Trump administration defied federal court orders to restore full funding to the program before the Supreme Court’s conservative majority temporarily greenlit the freeze. The White House even tried to claw back funding from states that had already distributed it to hungry families.

Pesticide Industry ‘Hijacked’ Climate Stage At COP30

November 23, 2025 Clare Carlile, DeSmog.com. Educate! Brazil, COP30, Pesticides, pollution

Syngenta and other pesticide companies used the COP30 climate conference in Brazil to promote programmes to recover damaged pastureland that campaigners fear will drive increased use of toxic chemicals. Trade groups hosted multiple events to promote a technique known as ‘degraded pasture recovery’, in which land that has been damaged by overgrazing or other forms of poor management is converted to grow soy, sugarcane, corn, or other crops. Brazil says the approach will help reduce pressure on forests by opening up fresh tracts of arable land. The country has set a target to convert 40 million hectares of damaged pasture into production zones for food crops and biofuels over the next decade — an area almost twice the size of the UK.

Venezuela Under Siege: A Hundred Deaths At Sea; Hundreds Of Thousands By Sanctions

November 22, 2025 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! extrajudicial murder, Sanctions, US Military Intervention, Venezuela

Most of the world looks on in disbelief at the now-routine murders on the high seas off Venezuela’s coast – serial killings that the newly minted War Department calls Operation Southern Spear. On October 31, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk condemned the attacks, saying that the “mounting human costs are unacceptable.” The People’s Social Summit in Colombia (November 8-9) excoriated Washington. Four days later in Caracas, a meeting of jurists from 35 countries denounced the “homicidal rampage.” The Military Law Task Force of the National Lawyers Guild charged “egregious war crimes and violations of international human rights, maritime, and military law.”

Breaking Out Of Media Group-Think

November 22, 2025 Jonathan Cook, Consortium News. Educate! Censorship, Israel, Journalism, Journalists, Media, Palestine

The past two years have seen a catastrophic failure by Western journalists to report properly what amounts to an undoubted genocide in Gaza. This has been a low point even by the dismal standards set by our profession, and further reason why audiences continue to distrust us in ever greater numbers. There is a comforting argument — comforting especially for those journalists who have failed so scandalously during this period — that seeks to explain, and excuse, this failure. Israel’s exclusion of Western reporters, so the claim goes, has made it impossible to determine exactly what is occurring on the ground in Gaza.
