What To Do When You, Too, Become A ‘Terrorist’: New Zine Launch

July 6, 2025 Samidoun, Orinoco Tribune. Strategize! Canada, Germany, Palestine Action, Terrorist, United Kingdom (UK), US Empire

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is launching a new zine, “What to do when you, too, become a ‘terrorist’” — inspired by our own experience being banned in Germany and being labeled a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT)” by the United States and a “terrorist entity” by Canada, and by the ongoing attempts of the British state to proscribe Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organization. Of course, it is also influenced by the years of state repression targeting a wide array of liberation struggles and movements, from the Black Liberation Movement to Indigenous warriors to Puerto Rican independentistas, not to mention the designation of Palestinian, Lebanese, Yemeni, Iranian, Filipino and other resistance organizations as “terrorists” by the imperialist powers.

America Builds To Resist Disasters; The Global South Builds To Recover

July 6, 2025 Mohamed Ismail, Next City. Strategize! climate crisis, Environment, Extreme weather, Global South, green housing

In the last few weeks, as the United States suffered through a record-breaking heatwave, people were instructed to take refuge in buildings with indoor air conditioning. This reliance on a system that runs on fossil fuels and contributes to nearly 20% of our greenhouse gas emissions also inevitably set us up for another, more severe heatwave. Even as the U.S. faces increasingly frequent – and deadly – climate change-related disasters, we continue to be caught off guard, treating them as short-term inconveniences and not the new normal. Science has proved that we are actively contributing to future climate devastation, and yet we continue to design buildings with an assumption that climate resilience means waiting out disasters, wasting significant energy fighting the symptoms while contributing to the illness.

Lessons from Vieques: Resisting US Militarism, Building Unity

July 5, 2025 Aaron Kirshenbaum, CounterPunch. Strategize! History, Movements, Puerto Rico, US Imperialism, Vieques

Around two years ago, I watched a puppet show, created by a group of eight to 16-year-olds at the summer camp where I worked, about the eviction of the U.S. Navy from the island of Vieques. After I conducted a few brief workshops reviewing the island’s history of military occupation and contamination, the campers immediately grasped the importance of the decades long struggle to evict the U.S. Navy, which they represented with a puppet of a venomous snake; on the other hand, they used the iconic native Puerto Rican frog, the coquí, to depict participants in the popular uprising against the U.S. military.

UN Expert Urges Criminalization Of Fossil Fuel Disinformation

July 5, 2025 Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, EcoWatch. Strategize! climate crisis, Fossil Fuels, Propaganda, United Nations

United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights Elisa Morgera on Monday presented a new report to the General Assembly calling for the criminalization of spreading disinformation regarding the climate crisis, as well as a complete ban on fossil fuel lobbying and advertising by the industry. In The imperative of defossilizing our economies report, Morgera argues that the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and other rich fossil fuel countries are legally bound by international law to phase out gas, oil and coal by the end of the decade, in addition to compensating communities for the harms caused.

1,500 Israeli Soldiers Will Attend Jewish Summer Camps In North America

July 1, 2025 Aaron Kreuter, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Gaza, Genocide, Indoctrination, Israel, Israeli Occupying Forces, Palestine, Zionism

It’s June, which means a similar scene is playing out at tens of thousands of Jewish houses across the continent. Duffel bags dug up from basements. Toiletries laid out on carpeted floors, emergency trips to the drug store for one final item. Last-minute clothing decisions. Bags of carefully curated candy. Tearful midnight goodbyes to school friends. For so many of us Jewish North Americans, the summers of our younger years mean one thing: sleepover camp. Unfortunately, it’s not just Jewish kids, teenagers, and twenty-somethings getting ready to go to one of the hundreds of Jewish camps in North America.

Can We Build Public And Political Support For Tackling Inequality?

June 29, 2025 Will Snell, Inequality.org. Strategize! Fairness, Inequality, United Kingdom (UK), Wealthy Class

Wherever you live these days, you’re likely seeing plenty of evidence that political polarization is increasing all around you. Some of this polarization is reinforcing conventional left-right fault lines. Elsewhere in the world, other divisions — cultural, social, geographic, intergenerational — have ripped up and replaced those traditional polarizations. Socio-economic inequality has, of course, long rated as one of those conventional fault lines. The right has typically seen inequality as an inevitable — perhaps even necessary and desirable — byproduct of the dynamism that drives prosperity. Inequality, this argument contends, incentivizes and rewards effort and entrepreneurial risk-taking.

We Need A Pro-Democracy Environmental Movement

June 29, 2025 Khalil Shahyd, Next City. Strategize! Democracy, Environmental Justice, Environmental Movement, Participatory Democracy

Few people outside of Memphis, Tennessee, have heard of Boxtown, a community of about 3,000 residents in the city’s southwest corner. Founded in 1863 by formerly enslaved Black Americans, Boxtown has a long history of resisting environmental injustices, from polluting industries to toxic infrastructure, that have worsened health outcomes and lowered life expectancy. Today the community is at the center of a growing fight over the future of our democracy and the role of technology and technocrats in deciding for us what constitutes progress and good governance. When residents learned that xAI, a company led by Elon Musk, planned to install the “world’s largest” supercomputer in their neighborhood — without public input or transparency — they mobilized.

Can South Korea’s New President Stand Up To Washington?

June 29, 2025 Ju-Hyun Park, People's Dispatch. Strategize! Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), DPRK, Elections, Lee Jae Myung, Martial Law, New Cold War, RIMPAC, South Korea, THAAD

On June 3, the Republic of Korea (ROK) held a snap election to fill the vacant office of the presidency following the ouster of Yoon Suk-Yeol, who was impeached after his failed coup attempt on December 3, 2024. Lee Jae Myung, leader of the opposition Democratic Party (DP) and Yoon’s former rival in the 2022 election, emerged victorious with 49% of the vote, and was sworn into office on June 4. As president, Lee now faces the challenge of navigating the economic, political, and geostrategic dimensions of the ROK’s generalized crisis. Unrelenting US aggression has pushed tension on the peninsula and the wider region to a breaking point.

The Battle For Los Angeles Begins To Take Shape

June 28, 2025 Thomas Knapp, Counter Punch. Strategize! California, Community Defense, ICE, Immigrant Rights, Los Angeles

Cynthia Gonzalez, vice mayor of Cudahy, California, wants to know where LA’s street gangs are: “You guys are always tagging everything up, claiming [the] hood, and now that your hood’s being invaded by the biggest gang there is, there ain’t a peep out of you …. We’re out there fighting our turf, protecting our turf, protecting our people and, like, where you at?” By “the biggest gang there is,” of course, she means US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and its co-conspirators in the occupation of Greater Los Angeles. A few miles away in Huntington Park, mayor Arturo Flores has instructed his city’s chapter of the Blue Line Gang to “begin verifying the identities and authority” of masked marauders attempting to abduct alleged immigrants on his city’s streets.

Muslim American Workers Advancing The Labor Movement

June 27, 2025 Chaumtoli Huq, Portside. Strategize! Labor Movement, Muslim Americans, Religion, Worker Rights and Jobs

Islam is one of the fastest-growing religions in the U.S., with an estimated 8 million Muslim-Americans projected by 2050. Muslims have long been part of American history, especially within African American communities. Today, Muslim Americans are racially, ethnically, and nationally diverse—and face significant economic hardship and workplace discrimination. According to the Pew Research Center, they are three times more likely to be unemployed and more likely to earn under $30,000 annually than the general population. Despite these challenges, Muslim Americans are politically engaged and active in community issues.

‘We Need More Angry Young Women’ To End Israeli Genocide Of Gaza

June 26, 2025 Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Strategize! Freedom Flotilla, Gaza, Genocide, Greta Thunberg, Madleen

Climate Activist and Gaza Flotilla volunteer Greta Thunberg’s response to Trump’s assertion that she needs anger management. After arriving at a Paris airport on June 10, 2025, four hours after she was deported from Israel following the illegal Israeli commando interception in international waters of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla sailboat Madleen, tired, sleep deprived climate and Palestinian activist Greta Thunberg responded to a reporter’s question of her response to President Donald Trump’s comment that she was “an angry young woman who needed anger management.” Thunberg shrugged off Trump’s attempted disparagement with a jab right back at the bully President: “Considering the state of the world, I think we need many more angry young women.”

Lessons In Courage, Care And Collective Action

June 26, 2025 Moira Birss and Zia Kandler, Waging Nonviolence. Strategize! Authoritarianism, Community, International Accompaniment Movement, Social Movements, State Repression

As authoritarianism takes hold in the United States and attacks against our movements and communities grow, many U.S.-based organizers and activists are searching for ways to resist, grow and protect ourselves and our communities. Yet, a feeling of overwhelm and hopelessness pervades, especially as this administration deploys tactics aimed at repressing, intimidating and squashing those fighting for change. Rather than despair, we can instead look at the ways movements across the world have responded to authoritarian regimes. After all, for as long as governments have used such tactics, movements, organizations, and individual organizers and activists have cultivated strategies to keep themselves and their communities safe.

You Can’t Bomb Iran Into Zionism

June 25, 2025 Craig Murray, Consortium News. Strategize! Iran, Israel, Wars and Militarism, Zionism

Israel and the USA have each attacked Iran in the middle of negotiations. Iran must not fall for it a third time. Negotiation is dead. Israel attacked Iran during negotiations between Iran and the U.S., with the next scheduled meeting just three days away. Trump then gave Iran a two-week ultimatum to agree a peace deal. Iran held one foreign-minister-level meeting with the U.K., Germany and France and scheduled a second meeting. Trump then attacked Iran with 11 days of the ultimatum still to run. Plainly the Zionist West not only has zero interest in peace, it is engaging in morally abhorrent levels of dishonesty and deception, attacking under a false flag of truce. The idea that Iran should now return to “negotiation” with such appallingly deceitful interlocutors is risible.
