Police ‘Sweeps’ Of Homeless Camps Are Worse Than You Think

December 13, 2025 Carrieann Smith, Inequality.org. , , ,
Police “sweeps” of homeless encampments aren’t what you think — they’re much worse. I know, because I’ve been a victim of one. The Supreme Court ruled last year that unhoused people can be punished for sleeping outside, even when no shelter or affordable housing is available. Enforcement often involves “sweeps” where officers destroy or confiscate property and arrest or fine unhoused individuals. To make matters worse, President Trump just announced that he wants to strip almost $4 billion in funding from permanent housing programs, dumping close to 200,000 more people onto the streets.

DOJ Pressured Lawyers To ‘Find’ Evidence UCLA Tolerated Antisemitism

December 13, 2025 Peter Elkind and Katharine Mangan, Pro Publica. , , , ,
On the morning of Thursday, July 31, James B. Milliken was enjoying a round of golf at the remote Sand Hills club in Western Nebraska when his cellphone buzzed. Milliken was still days away from taking the helm of the sprawling University of California system, but his new office was on the line with disturbing news: The Trump administration was freezing hundreds of millions of dollars of research funding at the University of California, Los Angeles, UC’s biggest campus. Milliken quickly packed up and made the five-hour drive to Denver to catch the next flight to California. He landed on the front lines of one of the most confounding cultural battles waged by the Trump administration. 

Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial And Sacred Site Act Passes Congress

December 13, 2025 Darren Thompson, Last Real Indians. , , , ,
Washington—Yesterday, the “Wounded Knee Massacre Memorial and Sacred Site Act” passed the U.S. Senate unanimously and is heading to President Donald Trump’s desk for signature. The House version passed the House earlier this year in January, and both versions of the bill were sponsored by South Dakota’s congressional delegation, including U.S. Representative Dusty Johnson and U.S. Senators Mike Thune and Mike Rounds—all Republicans. The bill directs the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to place 40 acres around the Wounded Knee Massacre Site in restricted fee status, and would be a part of the Pine Ridge Reservation with the Oglala Sioux Tribe and the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe jointly owning it.

What A Century-Old Press Service Teaches Us About Worker Power

December 12, 2025 Victoria Grieve, Power At Work. , , , , ,
This won’t come as a surprise to union activists, but the mainstream press doesn’t always fairly represent the labor movement. That was true in 1919, the year the Federated Press (FP) was founded, and it remains true today. The FP was created to counteract the anti-labor bias in the mainstream press during the post-World War I strike wave. At the first convention of the Farmer-Labor Party, a coalition of labor activists, editors, and socialists hatched the idea for a cooperative, labor-oriented press service that would provide national and international news to subscribing labor newspapers. Imagine the Associated Press, but written by and for labor.

Wave Of Tax Cuts Left States Vulnerable To SNAP And Medicaid Crisis

December 12, 2025 Eli Hager, ProPublica. , , , , ,
This fall, Americans got to see what it’s like to go without a safety net for the hungry. With the U.S. government shut down for multiple weeks and President Donald Trump refusing to fund SNAP, the federal food stamp program, a panic set in among the more than 40 million people who rely on it. Families skipped meals, and babies went unfed. Food banks ran out of food, and some people turned to dumpster diving. It was just a glimpse of what’s to come. Starting next October, Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in SNAP costs from the federal government onto states.

These 15 Coal Plants Would Have Retired; Then Came AI And Trump

December 12, 2025 Joe Fassler, DeSmog. , , , , , ,
Since the second Trump administration took power in January, at least 15 coal plants have had planned retirements pushed back or delayed indefinitely, a DeSmog analysis found. That’s mostly due to an expected rise in electricity demand, a surge largely driven by the rise of high-powered data centers needed to train and run artificial intelligence (AI) models. But some of the plants have been ordered to stay open by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), despite significant environmental and financial costs. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a former fracking executive, has frequently cited “winning the AI race” as a rationale for re-investing in coal.

Obama’s Powerpoint Death Parade Led To Trump’s Venezuelan Killings

December 11, 2025 James Bovard, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Trump administration’s killings of scores of Venezuelans are provoking outrage across the Western Hemisphere. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth recently proclaimed, “We have only just begun to kill narco-terrorists.” President Trump and Hegseth are cashing a blank check for carnage that was written years earlier by President Barack Obama. In his 2017 farewell address, Obama boasted, “We have taken out tens of thousands of terrorists.” Drone strikes increased tenfold under Obama, helping fuel anti–U.S. backlashes in several nations. As he campaigned for the presidency in 2007, Sen. Barack Obama declared, “We will again set an example for the world that the law is not subject to the whims of stubborn rulers.”

In The Wake Of Trump’s ‘Peace Deal’, 200,000 Displaced In DR Congo

December 11, 2025 Pavan Kulkarni, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
About 200,000 people were forced to flee their homes in the South Kivu province in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), under attack by the M23 militia backed by Rwanda, which only days before had signed a US-brokered peace deal with the DRC. On December 10, the M23 reportedly advanced into Uvira, to which the provincial administration had relocated in March 2025 after South Kivu’s official capital, Bukavu, was occupied by Rwanda’s proxy force. With a population of over half a million, Uvira is a crucial commercial hub and a strategic gateway to the Greater Katanga region, hosting one of the DRC’s key economic zones.

Stop The Hate UK: The Shadowy Israel-Aligned Group Targeting Mintpress

December 11, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , ,
A prolific writer who has penned 28 pro-Israel articles in the past two months alone, Sawer asked the British Palestinian journalist to respond to pro-Israel pressure group Stop The Hate U.K.’s campaign for him to be prosecuted for “anti-Semitic hate crimes.” Abul-Essad’s “crime” was attending an October 2024 demonstration in London protesting an event featuring former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert speaking on the future of Gaza – a case that the Metropolitan Police have already looked into and dismissed. Sawer has previous connections to Stop The Hate U.K.

YouTube And Big Tech Censorship Threatens Global Accountability

December 11, 2025 Majd Jawad, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
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. , , , , , , ,
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. , , ,
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. , , , , ,
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. , , ,
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. , , , ,
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).
