Donald Trump

November 19, 2016 Donna St. George, Perry Stein And Alejandra Matos, www.washingtonpost.com , , ,
By Donna St. George, Perry Stein And Alejandra Matos for Washington Post - A group of hundreds of Maryland high school students walked out of class on Monday morning to protest Donald Trump’s presidential election, streaming into the school’s football field before numerous students headed out into local streets, tying up traffic. Students from Montgomery Blair High School in Silver Spring moved their protest along University Boulevard, heading toward other Montgomery County schools in an attempt to recruit more anti-Trump protesters.

We Cannot “Give Trump A Chance”

November 19, 2016 Kshama Sawant, www.counterpunch.org
By Kshama Sawant for Couner Punch - In the ten days since the election, several thousand people have phoned and emailed my Seattle City Council office in their fury over my call to shut down Donald Trump’s agenda with massive peaceful protests on Inauguration Day. Many messages were from middle- and working-class people who had voted for Trump because they hated corporate Democrats and Hillary Clinton, and mistakenly believed that Trump was going to stand up for the ordinary Americans.

Building A New Populism In The Era Of Trump

November 18, 2016 Chuck Collins, www.otherwords.org , , ,
By Chuck Collins for Other Words - Imagine you’re standing in line for the American Dream. You work hard, sometimes in dangerous jobs. You lead a moral life. But the line is stalling, even moving backwards. Yet you see newcomers up front — some of them immigrants and people of color. Maybe you’ve worked all your life alongside African Americans and Latinos — more than most northern liberals have — but when you complain about people cutting you, those liberals call you racist.

Extreme Center Goes After Anti-Trump Protesters

November 18, 2016 Adam Johnson, www.fair.org ,
By Adam Johnson for FAIR - After Donald Trump’s surprise victory last week, protests against his pending presidency—and against the racism, misogyny and xenophobia he embodies—popped up from New York City to Portland to Kansas City to Austin to Nashville. Thousands of protesters gathered under the banner of #NotMyPresident, expressly rejecting the Trump administration’s agenda of, among other things, forced deportations, Muslim bans and attacks on women’s reproductive rights.

Health Reform In Trump Era: Big Step Back, Possibilities For Bigger Steps Forward

November 18, 2016 Steffie Woolhandler and David Himmelstein, www.huffingtonpost.com , ,
By Steffie Woolhandler and David Himmelstein for The Huffington Post - The 2016 election turned on racism, xenophobia and anger at the status quo, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The law covered about 20 million, and modestly improved access to care. But it didn’t address the health care problems facing most working families, feeding the perception that the Democratic Party had neglected them. Trump seized on the ACA as a symbol of the establishment’s false promises, and has placed repeal at the top of his to do list.

Trumponomics: It’s Not All Crazy

November 18, 2016 Dean Baker, www.counterpunch.org ,
By Dean Baker for Counter Punch - It looks like we will have to get used to the idea of Donald Trump being president for the next four years. In his campaign he pushed many outlandish proposals, like banning Muslim immigrants and deporting 11 million immigrants without documentation. We will have to do whatever we can to block such flagrantly inhumane measures. There are many other items on his campaign agenda and that of the Republican leadership that will have to be resisted, but at least one part of his agenda could actually offer real gains.

‘It Is Our Duty…’: Dispatches From A Week Of Anti-Trump Protests

November 17, 2016 Brandon Soderberg and Sam Shelton, www.citypaper.com ,
By Brandon Soderberg and Sam Shelton for City Paper - Wednesday night in front of MICA's Fred Lazarus IV Center, Tawanda Jones held the 172nd installment of West Wednesday, a weekly event dedicated to her brother Tyrone West—who was killed in police custody in 2013—and to all other victims of police brutality. But Jones also addressed the current election, locally and nationally, and stared down the next four years.

Trump’s $1 Trillion Infrastructure Plan: Lincoln Had Bolder Solution

November 17, 2016 Ellen Brown, www.counterpunch.org , ,
By Ellen Brown for Counter Punch - It sounds great; but as usual, the devil is in the details. Both parties in Congress agree that infrastructure is desperately needed. The roadblock is in where to find the money. Raising taxes and going further into debt are both evidently off the table. The Trump solution is touted as avoiding those options, but according to his economic advisors, it does this by privatizing public goods, imposing high user fees on the citizenry for assets that should have been public utilities.

The Power Of The Movements Facing Trump

November 16, 2016 Michael Hardt, www.roarmag.org , ,
By Michael Hardt for ROAR Magazine - It is much too early to say to what extent President Trump will enact his campaign promises as government policy and, indeed, how much he will actually be able to do in office. But every day since his election demonstrations have sprung up throughout the United States to express outrage, apprehension and dismay. Moreover, there is no doubt that once in office Trump and his administration will continually do and say things that will inspire protest.

What Will Become Of ‘Sanctuary Cities’ After Trump?

November 16, 2016 Rebecca McCray, www.takepart.com , , ,
By Rebecca McCray for Takepart - Chief among the long list of marginalized groups likely to be affected by President-elect Donald Trump’s plan for his first 100 days in office are immigrants. Trump has promised to “cancel” executive orders issued by President Obama that excuse DREAM Act beneficiaries and their families from deportation, build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, and deport “the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back,” according to the plan.

Republicans Can’t Believe That People Are Actually Protesting Trump

November 16, 2016 Valerie Richardson, www.washingtontimes.com , ,
By Valerie Richardson for The Washington Times - After five days of anti-Trump protests and mayhem led by left-wing groups, including one linked to top Clinton donor George Soros, Republicans said Sunday that it’s time for Democrats to call off the dogs. Kellyanne Conway, Republican president-elect Donald Trump’s campaign manager, urged President Obama, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to use their influence to talk down those she described as “professional” agitators “masquerading as protesters.”

Should War Opponents Work With Trump To Stop US Militarism?

November 16, 2016 Diana Johnstone, www.counterpunch.org , ,
By Diana Johnstone for Counter Punch - In 2016, the fundamentally undemocratic U.S. two-party system presented the public with the two most hated candidates in history. The choice was so dismal that over forty three percent of the voters could not bring themselves to go to the polls. Everyone hated one or the other of the candidates, or both. Whoever won was bound to face vehement opposition.

Resist. Rethink. Rebuild

November 16, 2016 Craig Aaron, www.freepress.net
By Craig Aaron for Free Press - Donald Trump’s victory poses a serious and immediate threat to our friends and families, our loved ones and neighbors. At Free Press, we refuse to enable, legitimize or normalize Trump’s neo-fascist, racist, misogynist, xenophobic and dangerous actions. We must use whatever power and privilege we have to stand up against attacks on Black people, Latinos, LGBTQI people, Muslims, women and immigrants.

Activists Block DC Interstate With ‘Stop Trumpism’ Message

November 15, 2016 Mark Hand, www.dcmediagroup.us , ,
By Mark Hand for DC Media Group. Protesters converged on downtown Washington, DC, again on Nov. 14, but this time it wasn’t all about the election of Donald Trump as president. Many came to the nation’s capital to celebrate the defeat of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), although some fear Trump could backtrack on his campaign promise to oppose the regional trade deal. As part of the day of action, protesters blocked I-395 in D.C. for more than 30 minutes with an enormous banner which read, “Stop Trumpism.” The protesters maintained the protest action was not an endorsement of Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton. One of the day’s goals was to empower people disillusioned with the two-party political system, including Bernie Sanders supporters, by providing them with examples of activism beyond the ballot box, said Veronica Murray, a Massachusetts resident, who was one of the activists who blocked the freeway with the “Stop Trumpism” sign.

Climate Change Action ‘Unstoppable’ Despite Trump: U.N.’s Ban

November 15, 2016 Alister Doyle and Nina Chestney, www.reuters.com , ,
By Alister Doyle and Nina Chestney for Reuters - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said on Tuesday action on climate change has become "unstoppable" and predicted that U.S. President-elect Donald Trump would drop plans to quit a global accord aimed at weaning the world off fossil fuels. At a meeting of almost 200 nations in Morocco to work out ways to implement the 2015 Paris agreement to limit greenhouse gas emissions, Ban said U.S. companies, states and cities were all pushing to limit global warming.
