Soldiers Must Disobey Unlawful Orders Under Trump

November 25, 2025 Marjorie Cohn, Truthout. , , ,
The courageous action of six Democratic members of Congress has thrust into the national discourse the duty of military and CIA personnel to disobey Donald Trump’s illegal orders. As the Trump administration continues to unlawfully murder people in small vessels in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific, deploy the National Guard to U.S. cities, and ignore court orders, the six lawmakers were moved to act. In a 90-second video organized by Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Michigan), two senators and four Congress members, all U.S. military or CIA veterans, take turns reading a statement to active servicemembers, urging them to refuse to follow illegal orders.

Immigration Raids At This Home Depot Got More Aggressive But Less Effective

November 25, 2025 Tracy Rosenthal, Portside. , , , ,
Arturo had only ever seen agents at the border before, never in Los Angeles. But on Friday, June 6, the Department of Homeland Security descended on a Home Depot near MacArthur Park. As on any other morning, Arturo had arrived at the store to wait alongside more than a hundred jornaleros for a day, or even a few hours, of construction work. He saw people running and heard screams of “la migra” before he laid eyes on the men in fatigues or understood that they were making arrests. He broke into a run, following a crowd through the store’s automatic doors.

November 24, 2025 Lev Koufax, Struggle - La Lucha. , , , , ,
Fourteen part-time librarians at the Baltimore County Public Library received a jarring email on the afternoon of Nov. 12. BCPL leadership’s email informed them that they would no longer have jobs. The mass firing came just ahead of the holiday season and without any advance notice. All 14 are members of the International Association of Machinists Local 4538, which represents the several hundred BCPL workers and the staff of a nearby Apple Store. Several of those fired were particularly active members of their union. One of the fired librarians is an active union steward and member of the Local’s bargaining committee.

West Miami-Dade, Florida - Hours after over two dozen activists were arrested outside Krome Detention Center, some of those arrestees bonded out of jail. 7News cameras captured a dozen young people wearing “ICE kidnapped my neighbor” T-shirts making their way out of the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Facility in Northwest Miami-Dade on Sunday morning. The protesters walked out of jail after Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested 31 people, most of them with the Sunrise Movement, as they protested what they said were the cruel deportation practices of the Trump administration.

November 24, 2025 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Tucson, AZ – On November 22, The Tucson Anti War Committee (TAWC) and a host of organizations wanted to let the thousands of bicyclists in the annual El Tour de Tucson know that, as they passed the Air Force base, people with a conscience demand “Hands off Venezuela!” “With a race of nearly 10,000 and 40% registered from out of state, we saw this as a great opportunity to let as many people know this beautiful landscape is also the HQ for Trump’s war crimes in the Caribbean. People need to know that we can stand up to Trump and stand with Venezuela,” said TAWC organizer Maria Sohn Hasman, addressing the race onlookers.

November 23, 2025 Ultimate Noticias, Orinoco Tribune. , , , ,
Parliamentarians and political leaders from across Europe called on the United States to cease its threats against Venezuela and demanded the withdrawal of US troops stationed in the Caribbean. “The prelude to the invasion is already underway. A US naval armada—at least eight warships, strategic bombers, fighter jets, and 10,000 troops—is now patrolling the Caribbean,” 62 European political leaders wrote in a statement issued on Friday, November 21. Among the US warships deployed off the Venezuelan coast is the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford, the most advanced aircraft carrier in the US fleet, which was used against Yemen during the latest Zionist genocide in Gaza.

November 23, 2025 Gabriela Calugay-Casuga, Rabble.ca. , , , ,
Unifor Local 88 has threatened to take over the GM CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll, Ontario if the company attempts to remove anything from the building. This comes after GM announced last month that it was pausing production of an electric cargo van at the plant which put more than 1,000 jobs at risk.  Members of Unifor Local 88, which represents the workers employed by the plant, quickly took to the streets to call for the protection of Canadian jobs.  “For nearly four decades, Unifor Local 88 members at the GM CAMI Assembly Plant in Ingersoll have built vehicles that drive Canada’s auto industry forward,” a web post by Unifor reads.

National Day Of Mourning

November 22, 2025 United American Indians of New England. , , ,
Since 1970, Indigenous people & their allies have gathered at noon on Cole's Hill in Plymouth to commemorate a National Day of Mourning on the US Thanksgiving holiday. Many Native people do not celebrate the arrival of the Pilgrims & other European settlers. Thanksgiving Day is a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands and the erasure of Native cultures. Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Indigenous ancestors and Native resilience. It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection, as well as a protest against the racism and oppression that Indigenous people continue to experience worldwide.

Venezuela Allies Urge US To Cease Military Hostilities

November 22, 2025 Andreína Chávez Alava, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Group of Friends in Defense of the UN Charter have condemned the United States military escalation in the Caribbean, warning that attacks on Venezuela could have a “spill-over effect” across the entire region. In communiqués issued on Tuesday, both multilateral organizations expressed concern for the increased military build-up in the Caribbean, including several warships, a nuclear-powered submarine and the recently arrived USS Gerald R. Ford, the world’s largest aircraft carrier. The 121-member NAM called on the US to stop its airstrikes against small vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific, which have killed over 80 civilians since September, and to avoid “any further hostile actions.”

November 22, 2025 Gary Wilson, Struggle La Lucha. , , ,
As federal agents swept through Charlotte, North Carolina, the first and most powerful pushback came from the students — the young people who showed what solidarity looks like in action. On Nov. 17, more than 30,000 Charlotte-Mecklenburg students stayed home in a coordinated “sickout” to protest a federal operation targeting immigrant neighborhoods. By the end of the week, more than 56,000 students had refused to attend school, making it one of the largest student-led actions against immigration raids anywhere in the country.

York County, PA — Seven days into union baristas’ nationwide, open-ended unfair labor practices (ULP) strike, over one hundred Pennsylvania Starbucks Baristas gathered outside Starbucks’ York distribution center Wednesday to protest. The center, located on1605 Bartlett Dr., is the largest on the east coast for the coffee giant. According to organizers, it services the entire northeast region.

A picket line formed at the entrance of the distribution center.

Racists Converge On Dearborn; Protesters And Community Fight Back

November 21, 2025 Cole Hamilton, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Dearborn, MI – On November 18, 20 protesters met at the Arab American Museum in Dearborn to confront a hate march put on by right-wingers who called for end to “Islamification.” Islamophobic marchers managed to gather a group of 30 people. The march was initially spearheaded by Anthony Hudson, an “America First” gubernatorial candidate who tried to recant his claims that Dearborn was under “Sharia law” – only to still face the protest anyways. Given Dearborn is home to many Arab and Muslim residents, the community took the threats made by Hudson and January 6 insurrectionist Jake Lang seriously and came out in crowds.

UE150 Condemns Border Patrol In North Carolina

November 21, 2025 UE Local 150, Workers.org. , , ,
UE150 condemns the Trump administration’s plan to deploy Border Patrol units to North Carolina. This decision is an alarming escalation and a direct threat to working people across our state. We denounce this action because we know exactly what it represents: a deliberate attempt to intimidate immigrant workers, silence community voices, and turn our communities into political props. North Carolina is not a border state. There is no emergency here that justifies a militarized federal presence. This move is nothing more than a manufactured crisis — a cynical performance meant to score political points while undermining the safety and dignity of the very communities that keep this state running.

Youth-Led Protesters Ousted Peru’s President

November 20, 2025 Victoria Valenzuela, Waging Nonviolence. , , ,
Since Sept. 13, thousands of protesters have been marching in Lima, the capital of Peru, demanding new leadership. They say the conservative administration, which has overseen the murders and extortion of protesters and journalists, is corrupt and does not represent them. Protests have been ongoing in Peru since 2022, when the conservative government of President Dina Boluarte took power after Congress impeached and removed former President Pedro Castillo, a progressive leftist leader who had a background in organizing. More than 50 protesters were killed under the Boluarte regime.
