Promoting Well-Being With Healthy Community Stores

April 21, 2026 Susan Kelley, Portside. , , ,
Jasmine Robbs recently drove across Buffalo during her lunch break just to shop at her favorite store – Buffalo’s Golden Corner on the East Side – because it sells fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy options. At the store’s entrance, two coolers stock spinach, lemons, avocado, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, yogurt, eggs, dairy products, almond milk and stacks of to-go boxes packed with brilliant raspberries, grapes, pineapple and strawberries. “Every time I spend my food stamps, I am able to cash out on fresh fruits and vegetables, which is imperative,” said Robbs, who says she doesn’t shop anywhere else. “That is my go-to.”

The Meaning Of Maduro In Metropolitan Detention

February 27, 2026 Quincy Saul, Counter Punch. , , ,
I traveled all day to get there, to the prison where the leader of the Bolivarian process is held hostage. It was early January, only a week after Nicolas Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were kidnapped from Caracas, Venezuela and flown to the prison where they are still held in the Empire State. It has taken me more than a month to write and rewrite this, struggling to distill meaning and method from this madness and mayhem which in today’s world runs the risk of appearing almost mundane – nothing to see here folks! Just another entry in the archive of outrages.

Insurer Agrees To Pay Millions For Failing To Fix Errors

February 20, 2026 Max Blau, Scheer Post. , , , ,
One of New York’s largest health insurers is set to pay a multimillion-dollar fine for failing to fix a series of errors that made it harder for its customers to get mental health care. EmblemHealth this week agreed to a $2.5 million settlement with the New York attorney general’s office because of the large number of inaccuracies in its listings of in-network mental health providers, a problem that has persisted for years. The fine is the biggest secured by the state attorney general’s office in its yearslong quest to clamp down on the chronic problem of provider directory errors, also known as ghost networks.

Striking Nurses Connect Their Struggle To The Fight To Abolish ICE

January 30, 2026 Kimberly Ann, Left Voice. , , , ,
On Tuesday, January 27, NYSNA held a picket outside of Mount Sinai Hospital, holding space for speeches against the bosses and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following the public execution of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse in Minneapolis, National Nurses United (NNU) — the largest union of registered nurses representing 225,000 members — put out a statement calling for the abolition of ICE. The statement reads in part: ICE and all related immigration enforcement agencies have repeatedly shown through their violence, terror, and lawlessness that they pose a dire public health threat to the entire country and all our communities.

Mahmoud Khalil Vows To Oppose Trump Efforts To Deport Him

January 27, 2026 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
A Trump administration official has declared that Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil will be deported to Algeria. “It looks like he’ll go to Algeria. That’s what the thought is right now,” Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, told NewsNation. Khalil, a former Columbia University student and lead negotiator during the school’s Gaza protests, was arrested in 2025 and detained at a Louisiana facility for three months on orders from the State Department. Khalil was never charged with a crime.

Nurses In Ithaca Fight Union-Busting Ahead Of NLRB Election

January 13, 2026 Jason Villarruel, People's World. , , , ,
Ithaca, NY -On a frigid December morning a week before Christmas, Cayuga United—a nurses’ union at Cayuga Medical Center—held a rally on the front steps of the Ithaca Town Hall. Angela Grupe, a nurse at CMC, spoke to the crowd of community supporters gathered around. “So, we’ve all seen it before: The abusive relationship where one person has all the control. One person gets to make all the decisions; one person takes advantage of the other to benefit themselves. And when the abused finally tries to advocate for themselves, the abuser uses threats, lies, and manipulation to get their way. Today, the abuser we speak of is the management at Cayuga Medical Center….”

Keeping Power Utilities In Corporate Hands Doesn’t Make Sense

December 31, 2025 Liza Featherstone, Portside. , , ,
All over the country, Americans are struggling to pay their utility bills. In the Hudson Valley, the situation is particularly dire, with some ratepayers coping with surprise monthly bills of thousands of dollars. It doesn’t have to be that way, according to the region’s democratic socialists, who are leading a fight to lower prices. A bill introduced by Sarahana Shrestha, a democratic socialist assemblywoman in Assembly District 103 in the Mid-Hudson Valley, and her state senate colleague, Michelle Hinchey, calls for a state takeover of the utility company serving the area.

Mamdani And The Liberal Repackaging Of Power

November 14, 2025 Marwa Yousuf K., Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
In the shadow of genocide, while Gaza burns and its skies bear witness to one of the most one-sided assaults in modern history, a Muslim man ran for mayor in the heart of empire and won. People celebrated, calling it a win for progress, diversity, and even justice, as if a scheduled political election had reversed history. As if liberation had arrived not in the form of dismantling state power but by crowning someone who could speak against it politely from within its walls. Zohran Mamdani’s ascent was a familiar ritual – liberalism’s favourite act: taking the language of resistance, draining it of substance, and performing it just long enough to pacify those who still remember how to rage.

Tell Lies, Claim Easy Victories

November 9, 2025 Calla Mairead Walsh, Orinoco Tribune. , , , , , , , ,
Zohran Mamdani’s victory was historic. So was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s. So was Barack Obama’s. The blissful ignorance in response to Mamdani’s victory demonstrates a vast, abysmal void in revolutionary consciousness, organization, and leadership in the so-called United States. It speaks to our collective hunger for any supposed victory to grasp onto, no matter how illusory, a hunger to make ourselves feel like we have achieved something, anything, satiating our guilty selves with false hope. No matter how much he spits on the name of the Palestinian resistance, Mamdani obviously won because of the political ramifications of the Al-Aqsa Flood.

Nuclear Goes Political

October 18, 2025 Robert Hunziker, Counter Punch. , , , , ,
Climate change has a new partner in its quest to alter life as we know it: Nuclear, the power buzzword for the AI Holy Grail of human submission to digital electrons mimicking human brainpower. And AI can’t survive, can’t thrive without enormous amounts of electrical energy. Wall Street has the answer and politicians agree that nuclear is the big, beautiful answer to a whole new advanced level of human mental experience with electrons. The nuclear narrative is more positive than ever, “go for it,” but what if something goes wrong or is nuclear suddenly risks-free?

Sweeping ICE Raid Shakes Small New York Town As Dozens ‘Disappeared’

September 29, 2025 Derek Seidman, Truthout. , , ,
On the morning of September 4, dozens of masked federal agents raided a snack bar factory in the small town of Cato, New York. They claimed there was a “violent felon” in the plant, but proceeded to siphon off and hold anyone who looked Latinx. At least 69 workers were initially detained, with 57 still in custody or deported, though some say that could be an undercount. There are multiple reports of aggression — knees on necks, blows to heads — used during the raid. The workers were mostly from Central America, especially Guatemala. Some had lived in the region for decades. Many are parents. Even those who presented valid working permits were taken. Sources tell Truthout that around a dozen workers have been deported while others linger in detention facilities across the U.S.

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.

‘The Billionaires Don’t Give A Flying F—K About Us!’

August 27, 2025 Joe Maniscalco, Work-Bites. , , , ,
Twenty-one-year-old Chloe Jacobs is a fourth generation Chelsea resident. Her grandparents moved into Penn South during the 1960s when the west side neighborhood was still developing as a cozy enclave where poor and working class New Yorkers could thrive and raise their kids in peace. Today, however, Jacobs knows all that could very well end with her because the billionaire developers behind the massive Hudson Yards project want what the residents of Chelsea have. “It is so blatantly obvious that all this project is, is to rid Chelsea of poor people,” Jacobs told Community Board 4’s Land Use Committee on Tuesday night.

Veterans Force NY County Sheriff To Take Down Israeli Flag

August 6, 2025 Jack Gilroy, Popular Resistance. , , ,
The flag of Israel represents the greatest human rights disaster in modern history, yet has flown proudly at the Broome County Correctional Facility by order of Sheriff Akshar. His dedication to Trump's unconstitutional actions has also made Broome County one of the leading penal camps for immigrants in New York State.  For over 600 days the Israeli flag flew over our county jail. It was a flagrant display of a Sheriff knowingly engaging in a divisive, illegal act in violation of New York State Public Building Law.   New York State Law forbids a foreign flag from flying over public property. The actual wording of the law states, “It shall not be lawful to display the flag or emblem of any foreign country upon any state, county or municipal building; provided, however, that whenever any foreigner shall become the guest of the United States, the state or any city, upon public proclamation by the governor or mayor of such city, the flag of the country of which such public guest shall be a citizen may be displayed upon such public buildings.”

New York Finalizes Rule For New Buildings To Be Electric

August 5, 2025 Paige Bennett, EcoWatch. , , , ,
New York is now the first state in the U.S. to require new buildings to be built entirely electric, without hookups to fossil fuels including gas, the New York State Assembly reported. The rule was initially passed in 2023 as the All-Electric Buildings Act and was finalized with the State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council’s approval in late July 2025. According to the new mandate, residential buildings up to seven stories tall and commercial or industrial buildings up to 100,000 square feet with building permit applications for initial construction approved on or after Dec. 31, 2025 will be required to meet the requirements by that date.
