Democrats And Trump Are In Sync On Iran

June 25, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The United States began its latest attempt at regime change against the Islamic Republic of Iran on February 28, 2026. The Trump administration bragged about torpedoing an Iranian ship returning from a naval exercise in India and killing more than 80 sailors. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth released a video of the act of war and added, “They thought they were safe in international waters,” an admission of a U.S. violation of international law. The killing of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and some of his family members and the bombing of an elementary school in the city of Minab were also war crimes.

Democratic Party’s Corollary To Trump’s Foreign Policy: Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua

June 17, 2026 Roger D. Harris and John Perry, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
Donald Trump’s second term has precipitated a tsunami of criticism from Democrats over his foreign policy. Yet when it comes to Washington's efforts to dominate Latin America and the Caribbean, the substantive dispute – if there is any substance remaining, once stripped of partisan bickering – is less about ends than means. Beneath the rhetoric of inter-party conflict lies a broad bipartisan consensus in favor of promoting US hemispheric hegemony and crushing governments that resist it – with Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua at the forefront.

Buzz Kill: Single Payer Groups Compromised By Alliance With Democrats

June 17, 2026 Russell Mokhiber, Counter Punch. , , ,
In 2007, Ana Malinow was president of the nation’s premiere public interest group pushing for single payer national health insurance – Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP). But a couple of years ago, Malinow, a retired pediatrician, helped start a separate group called National Single Payer. The difference between the two groups? PNHP is tightly aligned with the Democratic Party. National Single Payer is not. When we ran an article last week calling out the problem of PNHP and the Democratic Party, we received an email from Malinow.

AIPAC ‘Hides’ Support For Democratic Candidates

May 31, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , ,
The pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC has begun hiding its involvement in funding political campaigns for candidates running for public office in the US, as support for Israel becomes increasingly toxic among Democratic voters, Haaretz reported on 31 May. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has traditionally boasted of its success in helping elect candidates for Congress and the Senate who are committed to supporting Israel, including voting to provide it billions in US military aid each year. However, as Israel continues to commit genocide against Palestinians in Gaza and wage war on Lebanon and Iran, US voters are beginning to view Israel and its lobby in the US in an increasingly negative light.

Congress Is About To Legalize Liquidation Of National Forests

May 16, 2026 Jim Pattiz, Resilience. , , ,
Brooke Rollins, the USDA Secretary who called the Roadless Rule an “absurd obstacle” to forest management, declared an emergency just over a year ago on 112 million acres of your national forests — 59 percent of the entire National Forest System. In the Tongass, the “obstacle” she wants removed is 800-year-old cedars. The declaration has been operating since April 2025, exempting logging projects from the environmental reviews, public comment periods, and administrative objections that have governed federal forests for fifty years.

DNC Winners: Ethnic Cleansing And Genocide

April 22, 2026 Norman Solomon, Consortium News. , , ,
In the aftermath of this month’s big meeting of theDemocratic National Committeein New Orleans, supporters of the U.S.-Israel alliance have been quite content. “We’re pleased that the DNC Resolutions Committee rejected a set of divisive, anti-Israel resolutions,” the president of Democratic Majority for Israel said. The CEO of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, a former national security advisor to Kamala Harris, expressed gratitude to the DNC’s leadership. Why did pro-Israel groups voice so much pleasure and praise — not only for the sidelining of pro-human-rights resolutions but also for the process that sidelined them?

Top Biden Official Supports Trump Iran Attack

April 21, 2026 Sharon Zhang, Truthout. , , ,
A top official from the Biden administration has said that he is supportive of President Donald Trump’s attack on Iran from June of last year and suggested that Joe Biden may have done the same if he had been elected to a second term in office. Amos Hochstein, senior energy adviser to Biden within the State Department, said that the Biden administration had modeled similar scenarios to last year’s strikes, which were condemned as a “dangerous escalation” by the UN at the time. He said that the Biden administration may also have “had” to carry out such strikes, despite last summer’s war having been launched by Israel and having not involved the U.S. at all at that point.

Democrats And Anti-War Activists Disrupt DNC Spring Meeting

April 14, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , , ,
New Orleans, LA – The Democratic National Committee met in New Orleans this week at the Hilton Riverside for their annual spring meeting. The conference rang in its second day on April 10, and blue leaders went red in the face when members confronted them on Palestine. The spring meeting is a strategy session and networking opportunity for candidates and other members. It gives members a chance to lobby for cities to hold the 2028 Democratic National Convention. But the rising opposition to Israel drove the agenda. Several nonbinding anti-war resolutions were on the docket, although none passed.

No Kings In America, Real Resistance In Rome

April 6, 2026 Michael Leonardi, Counter Punch. , , , , ,
The “No Kings” slogan sounded promising when it exploded across the United States in 2025: a mass rejection of authoritarianism, unchecked executive power, and the cult of the strongman. But like so many liberal-led mobilizations in the Trump era, the U.S. version has revealed itself as carefully managed theater — heavy on performative outrage, light on principle, and deliberately blind to two of the greatest crimes of our time: Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the illegal U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. The contrast with the Italian “No Kings and Their Wars” mobilization in Rome could not be starker.

How Do We Get From ‘No Kings Day’ To No Billionaires?

April 1, 2026 Stephen Millies, Struggle-La Lucha. , , ,
Eight million people demonstrated across the United States on March 28, against Trump in the third “No Kings Day.” There were protests in 3,300 communities in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Some were huge, like in New York City, where as many as 200,000 protested (and more than 300,000 marched for Minneapolis earlier this year). Tens of thousands also turned out in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Philadelphia’s march stretched a mile. These millions represent the vast majority of the working class that hates Trump and opposes Big Oil’s war against Iran. Many sympathize with the Palestinians.

Donald Trump And The Truth About Robert Mueller

March 28, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
The public denunciation of a political enemy on the day of his death would be shocking if those words were uttered by anyone other than Donald Trump. The screed was vintage Trump: blurting out whatever he wanted without considering the thoughts and feelings of others, or any traditional niceties about not speaking ill of the dead, especially those who, as the saying goes, aren’t even cold in the grave.  But the decidedly rude response also had a significant element of truth. Despite his many lies about issues big and small Trump is not wrong about Robert Mueller’s pursuit of innocent people.

Trump’s De Jure Racism Provides Cover For Liberals And Democrats

February 13, 2026 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. , ,
Last week, following President Trump’s re-tweet of a video meme that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes, the U.S. exercised a national conniption that saw even members of the Republican Party, including Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), calling out the president’s racism and demanding the he take the social media post down and apologize. To be clear, the outrage was and is certainly warranted as depicting Black people as monkeys and apes is a centuries-old racist trope with the ultimate aim of dehumanization and placeism as it pertains to the positional status of Black people in the larger hierarchy of racial capitalism. 

ICE Exposes Democratic Party Irrelevance

February 1, 2026 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The Trump administration focuses relentlessly on immigration enforcement as a political tool. That focus isn’t surprising considering that an important goal of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement is to Make America White Again, or rather more white than it is now. Trump is so fixated on deporting immigrants from the Global South that he even takes this rhetorical show on the road, using part of his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to get his fellow white nations to also act against what he has referred to as an “invasion.”

No, Tim Walz and AOC, The National Guard Won’t Save Us

January 26, 2026 Mike Pappas, Left Voice. , , ,
On the heels of mass protests demanding justice for those killed by federal agents and demanding ICE out of our communities, the capitalist state has escalated its assault with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) executing ICU nurse Alex Pretti in broad daylight.  In response, Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller posted on X, “A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.” Meanwhile on Truth Social, Donald Trump called Pretti a gunman, justifying the killing and attacking various Democrats.

I Used To Be A Critic Of The Two-Party System

January 15, 2026 Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
I am told that if I don’t like what “my government” is doing, I should write “my representative.” So I dropped Senator Adam Schiff a note about the US war on Venezuela. The senator’s reply, with my translations of his Washington-speak (in italics) provided in brackets, is as follows: “I have been opposing the administration’s unlawful use of force against targets [a sovereign country] in the region…the U.S…conducted an operation [act of war] on January 2-3, 2026, to capture [kidnap] the illegitimate [lawful] leader [president] of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro. Maduro is a thug [not Trump] who has terrorized and oppressed [defended] the Venezuelan people for far too long [Trump should have done it sooner], and he will now face trial in a New York [foreign jurisdiction] court.”
