Iran Warns United States, Israel Against Escalation

September 22, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a fresh warning to the US and Israel on 21 September, vowing that any new escalation will be met with an “expansion of the geography” of the war, as well as the use of “new weapons” against “new targets.” The comments were made by IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi. “Iran is prepared for a prolonged war,” Mohebbi said.  “Any renewed aggression would be met with a significantly different response, including expanding the geography of the conflict” and a “wider war theater.”

How We Won Our Co-Worker Her Rightful Promotion

September 20, 2026 Bevin Barber-Campbell and Tim Rousseau, Labor Notes. , , ,
Workers at Hunger Mountain Co-op, a consumer-owned grocery store in Montpelier, Vermont, won a five-month fight to enforce seniority, beat back bias, and win a promotion for a beloved co-worker. We did it not just by filing a grievance, but also by mobilizing union members and the public. The fight began last December when Genesis Van Dyke applied for a production cook position in the prepared foods department. Van Dyke had been working at the co-op full-time for seven years, was fully qualified and valued by her co-workers—and was the only applicant for the job.

September 15, 2026 Kevin Gosztola, The Dissenter. , , , ,
A former United States immigration judge says she objected to ICE agents who “unlawfully detained an unaccompanied minor who had just been in her courtroom,” and then she was fired. She filed a federal whistleblower lawsuit on September 10.  In 2025, according to the complaint [PDF], the immigration court in San Francisco had 22 immigration judges. The Justice Department “fired nearly 20 of the judges,” including the plaintiff, Chloe Dillon. The department even announced that the court would close in January 2027.

September 9, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iranian forces launched a massive missile attack on US assets in Jordan early on 9 September, while also targeting multiple oil tankers as well as warships belonging to Washington, according to statements released by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The attacks were a response to US strikes on Iranian oil and commercial vessels, said the IRGC on Wednesday morning. “The defeated terrorist and aggressor army of the US attacked several Iranian commercial and oil ships out of desperation,” the IRGC stated. “In retaliation for the aggressive US attack on Iran’s oil tankers, the powerful and brave warriors of the … IRGC carried out an operation to punish the aggressor, subjecting a US base in Jordan to fierce missile strikes,” it added.

September 9, 2026 Libertad para Fergie, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
He remains in a Spanish prison, accused of participating in a protest against the Israeli arms company Elbit Systems and of an alleged crime of money laundering related to the financing of Palestinian organizations. Fergie is innocent. Their only «crime» has been promoting humanitarian projects to help the people of Gaza, financing bakeries, medical clinics, drinking water infrastructure and other essential aid initiatives for thousands of families. His acts of solidarity and his firm defense of the rights of the Palestinian people made him a target for those who consider solidarity a crime.

Tehran Vows ‘Faster, Harder, More Painful’ Strikes

September 6, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned on 6 September that Tehran will strike back harder and faster in response to any new US strikes, following the latest exchange of fire between Washington and the Islamic Republic.  Washington must “understand” before it is “too late” that “the era of ‘proportionate responses’ is over,” the parliament speaker said. “From now on, any aggression against Iran’s interests and security will receive a faster, heavier and more painful response,” he added.  Ghalibaf was further quoted as saying that the “rules of the game have changed.”

September 2, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iranian forces carried out large-scale retaliatory operations across the region late on 1 September and into the early hours of 2 September, in response to a violent new wave of US airstrikes that killed and injured dozens of Iranians. In several statements, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the Iranian Armed Forces announced that retaliatory operations included missile and drone strikes on US bases in Jordan, Iraqi Kurdistan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and the UAE. The IRGC said ballistic missiles struck hangars housing RQ-4 and MQ-9 long-range drones at Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, destroying several drones, setting technical infrastructure ablaze, and killing a number of pilots and technical flight personnel.

Where Is The Outrage?

August 18, 2026 Henry A. Giroux, LA Progressive. , , , ,
Moral witnessing has largely retreated into billboards, podcasts, a commodified and hate-filled media ecosystem, and relentless gestures of liberal empathy emptied of consequence. Too few artists, intellectuals, and cultural workers are willing to risk their careers by confronting the genocidal wars of our time and the governments and institutions that sustain them with weapons, money, and silence. Where are the voices for the children being slaughtered in Gaza and for those subjected to the horrors of war, displacement, and hunger in Iran, Lebanon, Sudan, and elsewhere?

In Support Of Dr. Tiffany Willoughby-Herard

August 1, 2026 Robin D. G. Kelley, Substack. , , ,
Most academics in the U.S., as well as activists resisting the genocide in Gaza, are familiar with the case of Professor Tiffany Willoughby-Herard, a renowned Global Studies scholar at the University of California, Irvine. On May 15, 2024, Nakba Day, she put her body on the line to protect students from riot police who had stormed their Palestine solidarity encampment. The UCI Chancellor Howard Gillman called the police on campus to dismantle the encampment. Three cops pushed Tiffany onto the concrete, causing her serious physical injury and emotional harm.

Washington Launches Campaign To Dismantle, Isolate ICC

July 13, 2026 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
The White House has launched a sweeping campaign to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC) in a drive to shield officials and soldiers from any prosecution over war crimes committed abroad, US State Secretary Marco Rubio announced on 13 July. Rubio cast the campaign against the ICC as a “defense of US sovereignty,” dismissing the ICC as "a global tribunal staffed by unelected globalist bureaucrats" waging "a war against our country... with statutes and compacts and the force of so-called international law." Rubio said US soldiers and border agents would otherwise face prosecution "for the so-called crime of defending their own country," vowing that if the court and its allies "believe they can deprive us of our sovereignty, we will teach them the full meaning of American resolve." 

Victory Rally After Reinstatement Of SJSU Professor Dr. Sang Hea Kil

July 3, 2026 Tim Phan, Fight Back! News. , , , , ,
San Jose , CA – On June 30, San Jose State University Professor Dr. Sang Hea Kil of the Justice Studies Department held a victory rally after her arbitration allowing her to return go with full backpay. This came after a protracted campaign where she bravely resisted her firing due to her vocal disapproval of the U.S.-Israeli genocide in Palestine. She was the first tenured professor to be fired from a public university for speaking against the genocide in the wake of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. At the rally outside of the Martin Luther King Library, Dr. Kil triumphantly exclaimed, “This is an incredible victory for free speech, academic freedom, student protest, freedom of assembly and pro-Palestine speech on campus and beyond.”

Media’s Hasan Piker Meltdown Is About Silencing Dissent

June 16, 2026 Luca Goldmansour, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting. , , ,
Former high-ranking Biden administration officials should arguably be facing charges at the International Criminal Court for complicity in the Gaza genocide. Instead, they’re embraced by polite society and enjoy influential posts in corporate media, academia and Washington think tanks. Their concealment of Biden’s declining mental faculties helped precipitate 2024’s disastrous electoral results. Democratic leaders in Congress, ostensibly in an oppositional role, continue to respond to Trump’s militaristic authoritarianism, both at home and abroad, with characteristic fecklessness and even tacit support.

Honda Mexico Worker Wins Reinstatement After 15-Year Fight

June 6, 2026 Natascha Elena Uhlmann, Labor Notes. , , , ,
The leader of Mexico's Honda workers’ union won reinstatement last week, in an important win for workers seeking to build real unions in the country's massive auto sector. But it took 15 years for José Luis Solorio Alcalá, of the Union of United Honda Workers of Mexico (Sindicato de Trabajadores Unidos de Honda de México, STUHM), to get one step closer to justice. Solorio Acalá was fired in 2010, months after a campaign to organize the plant went public—and just three days before Christmas. Within a year the entire organizing committee had been fired, he said. Some, like him, have held out for the slow wheels of justice to turn in their favor.

United States Grips Cuba In ‘Medieval Siege’, Threatens Invasion

June 1, 2026 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , ,
Only one tanker of oil has been delivered to Cuba this year as the United States imposes a brutal economic blockade enforced through a naval occupation and threats of force. The ramifications are tremendous - industries and transportation have shut down, what little food is available is rotting due to lack of refrigeration and hospitals are unable to provide life-saving care. Clearing the FOG speaks with Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, who has been leading humanitarian delegations to Cuba, about the crisis, retaliation against her and others for their efforts and the possibility of a military invasion.

Salah Sarsour: A Pillar Taken, A Community That Will Not Yield

April 12, 2026 Dr. Hatem Bazian, In These Times. , , , ,
There are people you meet in the struggle for Palestine and justice who leave a mark not because of titles they hold or platforms they command, but because of who they are — quietly, consistently, and without asking for anything in return. Salah Sarsour is that kind of person. And the fact that he is sitting tonight in a detention facility, torn from his family and his community by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who pulled him over with no legitimate cause, is an injustice that demands that every one of us speak. I first met Salah over thirty years ago, when I was beginning to organize for Palestine on a national level and found myself visiting the Muslim community in Milwaukee.
