Resignations

Psychoanalysts Are Resigning From The International Psychoanalytical Association

March 30, 2026 Palestine Mental Health Networks, Mondoweiss. , , , , ,
Psychoanalysis understands, better than most disciplines, that silence is never neutral. What is not said does not disappear but returns, distorted, in symptoms. Freud called this the return of the repressed and built an entire method on the insight. What, it is worth asking, is the International Psychoanalytical Association’s (IPA) silence on the genocide in Gaza a symptom of? We are the Palestine Mental Health Networks, a collective of mental health professionals from twenty-three countries, brought together by our commitment to psychoanalytic principles and the fundamental dignity of all human beings — a category from which Palestinians are often excluded.

Refusing To Help DOGE ‘Dismantle Critical Public Services’

February 26, 2025 Jessica Corbett, Common Dreams. , , , , ,
Over 20 U.S. federal tech workers who were forced into President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency resigned in protest on Tuesday, according to a joint letter obtained by The Associated Press. The 21 data scientists, engineers, and product managers were initially part of the United States Digital Service, established during the Obama administration. However, one of Trump's first executive orders states that it "is hereby publicly renamed as the United States DOGE Service (USDS) and shall be established in the Executive Office of the President."

F**k You Al, I Am Resigning; Say The same To Blinken!!!

November 24, 2024 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , , ,
In the November 21, 2024 Association of Diplomatic Studies and Training’s  (ADST) weekly newsletter, the editors included a 1995 oral history interview with William Watts, White House Staff Secretary for the National Security Council (NSC)) during Nixon’s war on Viet Nam.  I had never read of his resignation over Nixon/Kissinger's decision to invade/massacre Cambodia during the war with Viet Nam.  I was particularly struck by the concise language of Watts’ resignation, in contrast to my rather long, pedantic, but heartfelt three pages of my resignation letter twenty-one years ago in March 2003 in opposition to the pending U.S. war on Iraq.  

Meet The US Soldiers And Bureaucrats Defecting Over Gaza

November 12, 2024 Chris Lombardi, Waging Nonviolence. , , , , , ,
As the crisis in the Middle East rages on, a growing movement is confronting U.S. funding of Israel’s wars — including a perhaps-surprising number of those once charged with enforcing U.S. policies. Some are military veterans, while others worked for the State Department and other federal agencies. Such resistance is critical to any nonviolent revolution, says Erica Chenoweth, co-author of “Why Civil Resistance Works.” Chenoweth describes such “defections” as foundational to any hope of real change; dissent by the government’s enforcers — security forces, civilian bureaucrats — show cracks in a regime’s powers.

Mother Nature Says Adios To Rube Goldberg US Military Pier In Gaza

July 20, 2024 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. , , , , , , ,
Well, I told you so. Mother Nature with her not-so-big wind and waves tore apart the multimillion-dollar temporary pier that took the U.S. military two months to be transported from a U.S. Army base on the U.S. east coast and another two months to construct like legos. Mother Nature had to intervene not once, not twice, but three times before the U.S. government finally got the message. The pier idea was reportedly sprung on the U.S. military in President Biden’s January State of the Union address. The risk assessment for success was probably never started, much less completed, or if it was completed, it was probably hidden in a desk drawer as the predictions would not have matched the political demand of “Do somethingto help get us out of this mess.”
