Confront Or Cave? Federal Pressure Splits Building Trades

July 24, 2025 Natascha Elena Uhlmann and Keith Brower Brown, Labor Notes. , , , ,
One of the last nationwide bastions of union jobs is getting jackhammered by the Trump administration. Members are languishing in ICE prisons without trial. Programs that protect members from racism and sexism are getting the axe. In response, building trades officers are split: some are pleading, some are protesting, and others are surrendering without a fight. Out of nine million construction workers in the U.S., one million had a union last year. Since the 1970s, when about forty percent of U.S. hardhats wore union stickers, anti-union developers have kicked unions out from most residential and private building sites.

USDA Ends Key Support For Black Farmers Amid Trump Anti-DEI Orders

July 24, 2025 Aallyah Wright, Portside. , , ,
Lloyd Wright isn’t shocked that the United States Department of Agriculture is reversing a 35-year-old policy meant to help Black farmers in favor of a race-neutral approach. But the 84-year-old, who grows soybeans and vegetables in Virginia, knows his fellow Black farmers will feel “the damage” of it.  Last week, the agency announced that it’s eliminating the term “socially disadvantaged,” which describes farmers or ranchers who had been subjected to racial, ethnic, or gender discrimination, which includes Black, Hispanic, Native American, and Asian groups. 

Department Of Labor Proposes Rollback Of Workplace Safety And Wage Protection Regulations

July 24, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , ,
This month, the US Department of Labor, led by Trump-appointed Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, announced a proposal to repeal 63 workplace safety rules in what the Department called “aggressive deregulatory efforts” in order to “put the American worker first.” The regulations that the DOL has dubbed “obsolete” include eliminating minimum wage and overtime protections for millions of home health care workers, rolling back protections for farm workers, rescinding a requirement for employers to provide adequate lighting at construction sites, weaken safety standards in the mining industry, and limit the authority of OSHA to protect workers in what the DOL dubs “inherently risky professional activities” such as entertainment or journalism.

High Crimes And Misdemeanors; Not By Trump But Obama And Democrats

July 23, 2025 ​​​​​​​ Ajamu Baraka, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
Increasing evidence emerges that confirms what ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern suggests was a classic off-the-shelve intelligence operation initiated during the last year of Obama’s presidency against the Trump campaign by employees of, and others associated with, the CIA, FBI, and the NS. Yet the public is being counseled to ignore possible proof of state misconduct. The historic and unprecedented timing of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of twelve Russia military intelligence officers on the eve of Trump’s meeting with Putin, was clearly meant to undercut Trump’s authority.

Trump’s Latin American Policies Go South

July 23, 2025 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. , , ,
With the Trump imperium passing the half-year mark, the posture of the US empire is ever clearer. Whether animated by “America First” or globalism, the objective remains “full spectrum dominance.” And now with the neocon capture of the Democrats, there are no guardrails from the so-called opposition party. Call it the “new cold war,” the “beginning of World War III,” or – in Trump’s words – “endless war,” this is the era that the world has entered. The US/Zionist war against Iran has paused, but no one has any illusions that it is over.

Europe’s Betrayal Of Gaza

July 23, 2025 Medea Benjamin, Consortium News. , , , ,
While the U.S. government has given Israel carte blanche to commit genocide, many of us held out hope that Europe would be different — more principled, more bound by its own human rights commitments. But Europe has proven no better; it has been complicit through trade deals, a steady flow of weapons, and brutal crackdowns on pro-Palestine protesters across the continent. At the July 15 meeting of the European Union-Israel Association Council, European foreign ministers had a chance to act, but they refused to take punitive action under the agreement’s human rights clause.

Israel’s Genocide Is Big Business

July 23, 2025 Jonathan Cook, Scheer Post. , , ,
The Financial Times revealed this month that a cabal of Israeli investors, one of the world’s top business consulting groups and a think-tank headed by former British prime minister Tony Blair had been secretly working on plans to exploit the ruins of Gaza as prime real estate. The secret consortium appears to have been seeking practical ways to realise US President Donlad Trump’s “vision” of Gaza as the “Riviera of the Middle East”: transforming the small coastal enclave into a playground for the rich and an enticing investment opportunity, once it can be ethnically cleansed of its Palestinian population.

Nicaragua Celebrates The 46th Anniversary Of Its Revolution

July 23, 2025 Nan McCurdy, Resumen English. , , ,
This year was different from celebrations since 2021 when there were perhaps 5,000 people invited – this year there were about 50,000! It took place in the Plaza de la Fe where the July 19th celebrations were held for years and years with open attendance of hundreds of thousands and little organization. That changed in 2020 with Covid. This time invitations were made and organized by the municipalities all over the country and those invited road in on Chinese buses down to the plaza. You can see from the photo, the organization was phenomenal to accommodate the 50,000.

NEA Leadership Rejects Member Vote To Sever Ties With ADL

July 22, 2025 Sam Carliner, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
In one of the biggest displays of labor organizing against anti-Palestinian racism, the National Education Association’s (NEA) policymaking body voted on July 5 to cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The vote was a product of years of grassroots organizing within the NEA. This activity within the union was bolstered by the growth of the Drop The ADL campaign, an initiative by a wide range of progressive organizations to educate communities about the ADL’s anti-Palestinian bias and opposition to free speech in schools.

Israeli-Made Famine In Gaza Reaches Critical Point

July 22, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
At least 15 Palestinians died of starvation in Gaza over the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll from hunger and malnutrition to 101 since the start of the genocide, including 89 children, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry on July 22. “This is a silent massacre. The Ministry of Health holds the Israeli occupation and the international community fully responsible. We urgently call for the immediate opening of all crossings to allow the entry of food and medicine,” the ministry said. Euro-Med Monitor reported that one Palestinian died of hunger every 80 minutes on Sunday, accusing Israel of pursuing “a systematic starvation policy against 2 million residents.”

The Palestine Action Ban Has Had A Chilling Effect On The Press

July 22, 2025 Charlotte England, Novara Media. , , ,
On Saturday 5 July, the day Palestine Action was proscribed as a terrorist organisation, 29 people were arrested for sitting in Parliament Square with handwritten signs that read “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action.” Among them was an 83-year-old priest, Sue Parfitt, who described the significance of the action – it was “testing out the law”, she told our reporter. It was always clear to us at Novara Media that the protest would be newsworthy, whether arrests were made or not. We agreed with Parfitt: how the state responded would be telling.

While JP Morgan Promises ‘Net Zero,’ Billions Flow To Big Oil

July 22, 2025 Giorgio Michalopoulos and Stefano Valentino, DeSmog. , , ,
Assume you are an existing JP Morgan (JPM) customer, or you are interested in the bank’s sustainable-investment strategy. Googling the words “sustainable” and “JP Morgan” will bring up a number of blog posts from the JPM website, along with others on specialised media outlets that relay the company’s press releases. One article published on the company’s website in October 2020 is titled “JPMorgan Chase Adopts Paris-Aligned Financing Commitment.” The investment firm declared that it would align not only its investments but also its operational footprint with the Paris Climate Agreement.

MAGA Going To Israel For Propaganda Training

July 21, 2025 Joe Lauria, Consortium News. , , , , ,
The Israel foreign ministry will spend $86,000 to finance a tour of Israel for 16 Americans to get them to use their vast online influence to craft more positive images of a nation openly engaged in genocide. The effort is being made as Israel reacts to a significant turn in public opinion against it, especially by Western youth. Tel Aviv realizes its usual methods of propaganda — and apparently its own inhouse troll army — are no longer working as they once did. The daily Haaretz reported: Foreign Ministry officials say the tour delivers significant media, advocacy, and diplomatic benefits – and represents a strategic shift, as traditional outreach is no longer sufficient to shape public opinion. They aim to leverage the massive followings of young social media influencers to bolster Israel’s standing in the U.S.

Israeli Soldiers Fear Prosecution Over Genocide In Gaza

July 21, 2025 Middle East Monitor. , , , , ,
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has left soldiers serving in the occupation army “afraid” to return “home”, fearing prosecution for war crimes committed during the ongoing assault which has killed more than 58,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children. In Canada, where several citizens have served in the Israel Defence Forces (IDF), a growing number of those soldiers are reported to be reconsidering trips home after learning they may be under investigation. In June, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed it had launched a “structural investigation” into crimes committed during the Gaza assault.

Health Insurers Push Huge Premium Hikes As Profits Soar

July 21, 2025 Veronica Riccobene and Helen Santoro, The Lever. , , ,
The six largest health insurers reported more than $1 trillion in revenue and more than $31 billion in net income last year — and are now pushing to raise Americans’ premiums by as much as 66 percent for some policies, according to recent state regulatory filings. The proposed increases come as insurers dole out billions to further enrich top brass and shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends. In all, Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplaces across the country are projected to see the largest rate hikes in more than five years, driving up out-of-pocket premiums for individual plan policyholders by more than 75 percent on average, according to data compiled by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
