Chris Hedges Report: It’s Time To Fight Back Against Trump’s Fascist Regime

September 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
Ralph Nader, consumer advocate, corporate critic and former presidential candidate, asks these questions to demonstrate how Americans often sell themselves short regarding their power as citizens. Nader, whose life-long mission has been to empower people to fight back against corrupt politicians and greedy corporate criminals, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to continue to spread this message at a critical juncture in American politics. With Donald Trump’s increasing fascistic repression and an impending government shutdown, Nader offers a roadmap for how both government officials and ordinary people can fight back. His latest book, Citizen Self-Respect, serves as a call to action, arguing that Americans must not passively allow the Trump administration and corporate elites to consolidate their power.

Trump Designates Anti-Fascism As Terrorism

September 23, 2025 Skwawkbox, The Canary. , , , , ,
US president Donald Trump has issued an executive order designating ‘Antifa’ as a terrorist group, despite there being no such group – and has worded his order so broadly as to make any form of protest against his fascist immigration ‘police’ treatable as terrorism. There has been little to no evidence of violence by anti-fascist protesters; on the contrary, they have frequently been the victims of unprovoked violence from both pro-Israel far-right groups and law enforcement. There is, of course, no individual group named ‘Antifa’; instead it is an umbrella abbreviation of ‘anti-fascist’ used for all opponents of the fascism that is burgeoning under Trump, a phenomenon in large part driven by the US Israel lobby’s wish to criminalise anti-genocide protest.

It Would Be Fine To Help Make Mexico A Happy Place

When I was in graduate school, I audited a class taught by Friedrich Katz (1927–2010), one of the great historians of Mexico of his generation. During the Second World War, Katz’s father Leo was a journalist who was part of the anti-Nazi resistance in Berlin and later smuggled weapons from France to the Spanish Republic in its time of dire need. When the Nazis invaded France, Leo and his wife Bronia Rein – both Jewish communists – fled to Mexico, where President Lázaro Cárdenas’s government had opened its doors to anyone fleeing from fascism or who had fought for the Spanish Republic. Friedrich Katz grew up in Mexico and remained grateful to the country for the rest of his life. In his seminar on the Mexican Revolution, he would regale us with remarkable tales about the ordinary people who overthrew the Porfiriato, the military dictatorship of General Porfirio Díaz (1876–1911).

ICE Agents Retreat In SUV With Slashed Tires As Protesters Shout ‘Gestapo’

September 11, 2025 Gino Fanelli, Gothamist. , , , , ,
Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in an affluent Rochester neighborhood after being confronted by more than 100 protesters on Tuesday. The group shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents in the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-led action drove a Border Patrol SUV away on four flat tires, which had been slashed. One of the roofers working on a rental home in the Park Avenue neighborhood was taken into custody. But agents left others apparently unchecked on the home's rooftop. Confrontations between immigration agents and protesters have been escalating across the country, leading the Trump administration to deploy National Guard troops to cities like Los Angeles and elsewhere.

Veterans For Peace Condemns Deployment Of National Guard In DC

Veterans For Peace unequivocally condemns President Trump’s unlawful deployment of the National Guard to Washington, DC. This follows the outrageous deployment of National Guard and U.S. Marines to the streets and parks of Los Angeles in support of ICE terror tactics in a city where as many as one in ten residents are undocumented workers.

They Shall Not Pass: Our Call Against Fascism

August 22, 2025 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research. , , , , ,
A walk through the Museum of the War of Chinese People’s Resistance against Japanese Aggression in Beijing makes one despise war and everything about militarism. The museum is not far from the Marco Polo (or Lugou) Bridge, where the Chinese people began their war to liberate their country from the Japanese occupation in the north. The most striking parts of the museum are those that demonstrate the ugly violence of Japanese militarism, such as the Nanjing Massacre (1937–1938); the horrendous biological and chemical warfare and unspeakable human experimentation conducted by Unit 731 in the northeastern city of Harbin (1936–1945); and the prisons for ianfu (‘comfort women’) that the Japanese military established to hold sex slaves for their soldiers.

Leaders Across The Americas Unite Against Growing Global Fascism

August 17, 2025 José Luis Granados Ceja, Truthout. , , , , ,
On the final day of the Second Pan-American Congress this month, more than 60 delegates from 12 countries made their way into the Secretary of Public Education headquarters in downtown Mexico City. As leaders from the Americas walked through the building’s passages and patios, many stopped to take pictures in front of the walls lined with murals from famous artists, including Diego Rivera. The UNESCO World Heritage Site served as the location of the final plenary of the three-day gathering aimed at uniting progressive and democratic forces in the Western hemisphere to take on rising far right authoritarianism. Delegates representing communities from as far as Nunavut in Canada to the extreme southern tip of South America eventually took their seats in the Ibero-American Hall, a space adorned with a massive, nearly 1,500-square-foot mural, appropriately called “The Union of Latin America” by Roberto Montenegro.

Three Times Workers Resisted Fascism In Minnesota History

April 25, 2025 Amie Stager, Workday Magazine. , , , ,
Workers and unions across the U.S. are raising the alarm about the Trump administration’s attempts to divide the working class. “They want us to be distracted by attacking the working class on innumerable fronts, but we must stand united,” said University of Minnesota Twin Cities graduate worker Greyson Arnold at a recent rally organized by AFSCME 3800, which represents clerical workers, and GLU-UE Local 1105, which represents graduate workers. The Amazon Labor Union-IBT Local 1 located in Staten Island, New York, released a statement on immigrant solidarity, saying they refuse to be divided: “By standing together across all lines of difference, we are building a movement stronger than their fear tactics, stronger than their threats.

Faculty Rally Nationwide For Free Speech And Free Tuition

Faculty-student pairs set up “anti-fascist office hours” at three locations on the Northwestern University campus. Faculty, students, and staff created anti-fascist art at the University of Hawaii. American Association of University Professors members combined membership drives with tabling about the critical issues facing higher education on 30 campuses. And in New York City, 4,000 people rallied to defend higher education from Trump’s attacks, chanting, “ICE took our students, we want them back!” These were a few of the 170 events on campuses across the country April 17 in the second annual Coalition for Action in Higher Education day of action, organized under the banner of “Free Higher Education.”

France Takes Action Against Racism And Far-Right Hate

March 25, 2025 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
Hundreds of thousands of people swept through the streets of over 200 locations across France on Saturday, March 22, in a massive national demonstration against racism and the far right. The mobilization, launched by nearly 600 organizations – including trade unions, associations, informal collectives, and left political parties – was a collective response to racism, Islamophobia, and other forms of systemic discrimination and the escalation of hate-driven rhetoric promoted by the right. The demonstrations were taken up by participants as a show of unity, standing in stark contrast to what many speakers at the demonstrations described as attempts by the government and far-right forces to divide the public.

French Trade Unions Respond To Fascist Attacks In Paris

February 19, 2025 Ana Vračar, People's Dispatch. , , , ,
French trade unions and antifascist organizations have launched a wave of mobilizations following a violent assault by far-right groups on young activists on Sunday, February 16. The attack, carried out by around 20 fascist thugs, targeted attendees of a film screening organized by Young Struggle and the Turkish Migrant Workers Cultural Association (ACTIT) in Paris. The assailants beat several audience members and stabbed one of them, a member of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT). While some attempted to frame the attackers as members of the Turkish neo-fascist Grey Wolves organization, activists on the ground identified markings linked to French far-right groups.

The Power Of Black Self-Defense In Lincoln Heights

February 14, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
While there are endless think pieces written on the phenomenon of Donald Trump’s second ascendancy to the white house, working class Black people in a town near Cincinnati, Ohio took matters into their own hands and faced down a group of white supremacists. On February 7, 2025, a group of white men waving flags adorned with swastikas hung a banner from an interstate overpass between the towns of Evendale and Lincoln Heights which proclaimed, “America for the White Man.” It must be pointed out that the statement, while quite racist, is an accurate description of United States history and politics.

Federal Workers, Stay In Your Jobs And Help Resist

February 5, 2025 Sarah Van Gelder, Portside. , , , ,
Federal workers are on the front lines of the Trump-Musk regime’s illegal and destructive orders. The email sent to federal employees urging them to resign in exchange for uncertain benefits is clearly aimed at purging critical government employees and replacing them with loyalists and ideologues. The email promises workers up to eight months of pay if they resign by February 6. At first glance, this might sound like a generous offer. But neither Elon Musk nor U.S. President Donald Trump have the legal authority to make such a promise.

A Guide For Federal Employees Under Siege

February 5, 2025 Kristofer Goldsmith, On Offense. , , , , ,
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been inundated with messages from concerned federal employees. Many of you have reported disturbing developments involving Elon Musk and his inner circle—including private contractors from Musk's companies allegedly accessing sensitive Office of Personnel Management (OPM) servers and locking federal employees out of their systems. These actions raise serious legal and ethical concerns, and we must confront them strategically. I understand your fear and frustration. You’re being targeted because authoritarian leaders know that professional public servants—those of you who uphold the rule of law—are the greatest obstacle to their agenda.

Milei’s Attacks On LGBTQ+ Community Spark Call For National Mobilization

February 5, 2025 Pablo Meriguet, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
Argentine movements, unions, LGBTQ+ organizations, and political groups have joined together to call nationwide anti-fascist and anti-racist protests on Saturday February 1 in response to Javier Milei’s repeated attacks on the Argentine people. In his speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos last week, Milei launched sweeping attacks on progressive ideas like feminism, environmentalism, and what he calls “gender identity,” and praised far-right leaders Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Viktor Orbán, and Giorgia Meloni. He also defended his harsh economic austerity policies, despite their impact on Argentina’s poorest communities.
