Corporate Pressure Mounts On Chileans Opposing Copper Mine

December 4, 2025 Viviana Herrera, Canadian Dimension. Strategize! Canada, Chile, Environment, Mining, Retaliation

Vancouver-based Los Andes Copper, developer of the proposed Vizcachitas copper-molybdenum mine in Chile’s Valparaíso region, has launched an aggressive campaign targeting the municipality of Putaendo’s mayor, Mauricio Quiroz, and local biologist Arón Cádiz-Véliz. The company is pressing legal and media challenges against them for opposing the mine and leading scientific efforts to protect the area. The conflict centres on a report and technical study commissioned by the municipality, aimed at designating the Rocín River Valley—a high-altitude ecosystem with glaciers, wetlands, and endemic species—as a protected area.

ICC Has Taken ‘Confidential’ Measures To Protect Court From US Sanctions

International Criminal Court (ICC) officials on Monday said the court is implementing countermeasures to protect the court from US sanctions, but they will remain confidential to ensure their effectiveness. The officials spoke in The Hague on the first day of the annual meeting of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), which is made up of representatives from 125 countries that have ratified the ICC's founding Rome Statute. The gathering is taking place at a time of unprecedented threats to the court, prompted mostly by its investigation into Israeli officials over alleged war crimes in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories.

Support is building within the labor, academic, and Palestine solidarity movements in defense of Tom Alter, a history professor at Texas State University in San Marcos. Shortly after receiving tenure, Alter was hastily fired on September 10 by university President Kelly Damphousse. He had spoken in his private capacity at an online socialist conference, where his presentation and comments were flagged by a self-described “fascist” and reported to the university administration. Alter is a member of the Texas State Employees Union, part of the Communications Workers (CWA).

British Journalist Sami Hamdi Recounts ICE Detention

British journalist Sami Hamdi, who was recently released from ICE detention in the United States, recounted what he experienced during an online discussion organized by the Freedom of the Press Foundation. Hamdi had a valid visa and a ticket for a domestic flight to Tampa, Florida, where he was scheduled to speak at a banquet for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Yet as a result of pressure from anti-Muslim activists Laura Boomer and Amy Mek, the State Department revoked his visa, and he was held in confinement for around 18 days. On October 26, the Department of Homeland Security took him into custody at the San Francisco International Airport. His detention and removal was in retaliation for his speech in support of Palestinian human rights and against the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza.

Health Care Workers Spoke Out For Their Peers In Gaza; Then Backlash

Chandra Hassan, an associate professor of surgery at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) College of Medicine, spent three weeks in Gaza in January 2024, treating patients who had survived tank shelling, drone strikes, and sniper fire amid Israel’s ongoing genocide. When Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis came under siege, Hassan and the MedGlobal doctors he was serving with were forced to flee. “We were evacuated when they bombed just across the street from the hospital [and] tanks were rolling in,” Hassan told Truthout. When Hassan returned home to Chicago, he was eager to share his experiences and advocate for an end to Israel’s assault on Gaza, which has killed an estimated 68,000 Palestinians since October 2023.

Civil Society Should Be Resisting Trump’s Authoritarianism

This November, I’ll be standing outside the American Public Health Association’s annual meeting in Washington, D.C., holding a sign that reads: “Ask me why I’m not allowed inside the APHA meeting.” After more than two decades as a member — serving as editorial board chair of the American Journal of Public Health, as an elected section chair, and as a governing councilor — APHA revoked my membership in September, stripped me of my elected leadership position, and banned me from attending meetings for two years. My offense? In November 2024, I participated in a protest at APHA’s Minneapolis meeting. Three dozen of us donned red latex gloves — signifying “blood on our hands” — and walked through the exhibit hall.

Activists Rally, Fill Courtroom For Mahmoud Khalil

Philadelphia - Oct. 21. Dozens of pro-Palestine activists and other supporters of Mahmoud Khalil filled the courtroom and an overflow room today, while others rallied outside the federal court here. Khalil, a Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist, appeared before a hearing of the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals to determine if he would be returned to custody or remain free. No decision was made at today’s hearing. Khalil is a legal resident and green card holder. He was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) last March 8 in New York City.

Chicago Day Laborer, In ICE Detention, Facing Retaliation

Willian Giménez González, a known advocate for the rights of day laborers who was abducted by federal agents on September 12, is speaking out from ICE detention. He says that federal authorities transferred him from the Broadview, Ill., ICE facility, to a detention center in Michigan, to move him away from his supporters. “I believe I was moved to Michigan at the last minute because I had the support of the community, and because my lawyer and politicians were protesting outside the jail,” he said, referring to the Broadview ICE facility. “I believe that because I had people fighting for me, I was targeted for transfer to prevent my supporters from helping me.”

CUNY Classes Begin With Divestment Win

August 30, 2025 Maria Aurelio, Left Voice. Resist! Campus Movement, CUNY, Divestment, Israel, Palestine, Retaliation

A new semester is beginning at the City University of New York (CUNY) with the fight against repression and for Palestine at the center. While we are facing intense crackdowns, including the firing of four faculty members over their pro-Palestine activism and the suspension of at least one student, there is also a movement fighting back. Amid these attacks, we’ve also had victories — most recently, a court decision forcing CUNY to disclose its investments in Israel. As Israel escalates its genocidal campaign in Gaza, including a famine, with full support from the U.S. government, CUNY has targeted faculty who speak out against it. This comes as President Trump intensifies his attacks on immigrants, mobilizes the National Guard in major cities, and escalates a broader assault on democratic rights.

FEMA Employees Who Signed Dissent Letter Put On Leave

Employees at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) were placed on leave on Tuesday after signing their names to a public letter criticizing the agency’s leadership, according to a group that helped facilitate the letter’s publication. More than 180 current and former FEMA staffers signed a public letter warning that the Trump administration is weakening the disaster response agency’s capacity and preventing it from carrying out its mission. Thirty-six staffers signed their names, the group told The Hill, while others signed anonymously. The letter was published online by the group Stand Up for Science but was addressed to the FEMA Review Council, which the Trump administration set up to explore ways to reform the agency. It also was sent to various congressional committees.

A Public Call For Accountability At The Harvard Education Publishing Group

August 26, 2025 Open Letter, Mondoweiss. Resist! Academic Freedom, Higher Education, Israel, Palestine, Palestine Solidarity, Retaliation

We, the undersigned scholars, educators, and education practitioners write to express our alarm at the Harvard Education Publishing Group’s (HEPG) cancellation of a special issue on Palestine and Education in the Harvard Educational Review (HER). Such censorship is an attempt to silence the academic examination of the genocide, starvation and dehumanisation of Palestinian people by the state of Israel and its allies. As reported by The Guardian, contributing authors of the special issue were informed late into the process that the publisher intended to subject all articles to a legal review by Harvard University’s Office of General Counsel. In response to this extraordinary move, the twenty-one contributing authors submitted a joint letter to both HEPG and HER, protesting this process as a contractual breach that violated their academic freedom.

Intel Chief Fired For Contradicting Trump’s Claim Of ‘Obliterating’ Iran’s Nuclear Program

The head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse, was dismissed from his post after his agency reported that US strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities caused only “limited damage,” contradicting President Donald Trump’s claim of “total destruction,” officials announced on 22 August. Officials told Reuters and AP that no explanation was provided for Kruse’s removal, and he was not informed of the grounds for his dismissal. The announcement later confirmed that two other officers, Vice Admiral Nancy Lacore, chief of the Navy Reserve, and Rear Admiral Milton Sands, who led Naval Special Warfare Command, were also fired.

How Pro-Palestine Youth Are Responding To Online Censorship

August 21, 2025 Tamara Turki, Middle East Eye. Strategize! Palestine, Retaliation, Social Media, Surveillance, Youth Activism

When Israel initiated plans to evict Palestinians from their homes in occupied East Jerusalem to make way for illegal settlers, millions of young people around the world got involved in a high-profile social media campaign to raise awareness. Using the hashtag #SaveSheikhJarrah, more than 40 million people joined in, forming part of a wave of online organising that set the stage for a new era of pro-Palestine digital activism. That trend continued as Israel launched its ongoing genocide in Gaza in October 2023 with activists dedicating their instagram feeds and TikTok reels to spreading awareness of Israeli atrocities. But mounting censorship on social media, digital fatigue and a hunger for deeper forms of engagement, are forcing organisers to shift gears and adopt new modes of activism.

Student Expulsions Over Palestine Protest Are Extreme And Unjustified

August 10, 2025 Open Letter, Mondoweiss. Resist! Campus Movement, Higher Education, Repression, Retaliation, Student Activism

We write this letter in alarm, as parents of students in the student movement for justice in Palestine at Occidental College. We are responding to the college’s threat against several students with conduct violations which could possibly result in punishments as severe as suspension and expulsion. We strongly object to these charges against the students as ungrounded, and ask that the college immediately drop the charges. We request instead that the college procures an independent and politically neutral investigation into the April 25th incident at issue here, and invite the students into a productive dialogue or restorative justice process with the administration, faculty and campus community to resolve this issue. Expulsion is a drastic punishment and, in this case, fully unwarranted.

As Columbia Capitulates To Trump Over Palestine, Student Activists Regroup

August 6, 2025 Tamara Turki, Mondoweiss. Strategize! Campus Movement, Columbia University, Higher Education, Palestine, Retaliation, Student Activism

Over the past two years, Columbia University has become a case study in the growing battle between grassroots movements in the U.S. and the institutions determined to silence them. What began as a student-led call for divestment from Israel escalated into a high-stakes confrontation between students, university leadership, and, eventually, the U.S. president. That battle now appears to have reached a grim turning point. In trading student rights to free speech and protest for federal funding, Columbia, once known as the “activist Ivy,” has signaled the end of an era of American higher education nurtured political dissent and the beginning of a new one, marked by increased surveillance, censorship, and punishment.
