Federal Spies Hunt Minnesota Unions In Search Of Conspiracy

August 15, 2026 Luis Feliz Leon, Labor Notes. Educate! Department of Homeland Security, ICE, Minneapolis, Solidarity, Surveillance, Unions

Yesterday news broke of a sweeping undercover investigation by the Department of Homeland Security in Minnesota early this year to infiltrate and surveil meetings and obtain the financial records of nonprofit groups and two of the country’s largest unions, the Communications Workers (CWA) and the Service Employees (SEIU). This investigation was behind the indictments of 15 people in June. The news should unite the labor movement in defense of constitutional rights and democracy as its members face what one defendant’s attorney calls “political prosecution.”

Venezuela: Don’t Blame The Victim

Under cover of night, the US military kidnapped the lawful Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife and National Assembly deputy Cilia Flores on January 3, 2026. Collateral damage included over 100 fatalities of civilians and Cuban and Venezuelan guards. This unprovoked surprise attack flagrantly violated international law. The hegemon acted in full expectation that it could operate with impunity. Even the neighboring left-leaning governments of Brazil and Colombia offered only mild rebukes. Then Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil said, “we found ourselves alone.” That is the context in which subsequent developments need to be understood.

August 7, 2026 Ava Guihama Olson, Madison Fowler, Sarah D. Wald, and Ashley Cordes, Resilience. Strategize! Climate Justice, Environment, Indigenous Activism, Solidarity

“People are scared,” remarks the executive director of a grassroots environmental group in Southern California. Her group, like many others, engaged in self-reflection following the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. They made substantial changes through diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts and developed new partnerships with community leaders. Recently, a longtime volunteer approached the executive director to urge that she stop talking about their organizational DEI work. While her organization isn’t pulling back on such work, she told us about other organizations who have removed DEI work from websites or learned that grants for such work have been cancelled.

They came to Jantar Mantar in cockroach masks, throwing back at power a word that power had used against them. On July 25, 2026, after weeks of protest, a twenty-six-day hunger strike by Sonam Wangchuk, baton charges, tear gas and the closure of 18 Delhi Metro stations, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan submitted his resignation. By late afternoon on July 25, India’s students and young people had forced one of the cabinet’s most powerful figures from office. On May 15, 2026, during a Supreme Court session, the Chief Justice of India, Surya Kant, described the unemployed youth who ‘attack institutions’ as “youngsters like cockroaches”.

What should union workers do when their nonunion co-workers come under attack? When our health care system in Rochester, New York, announced deep cuts to employee health benefits last November, “we started hearing from people right away,” said critical care nurse Carmen Camelio, president of the Rochester Union of Nurses & Allied Professionals. “And not just members. “We knew we had to do something, and we had to bring people in fast,” he said. In the span of days, union and nonunion workers came together to build a campaign that crossed job titles and worksites, forced the boss to backpedal, and inspired a wave of new organizing.

Chris Smalls, author of When the Revolution Comes: A Fight for the Future of the Working Class has hip hop flash and a half. He comes from working class Hackensack, New Jersey, enjoyed a short career as a rapper, and never stopped dressing like one. While leading the drive that led to the first unionized Amazon warehouse, Staten Island, JFK8, he and his best friend Derrick Palmer resolved to create a brand that made labor organizing and solidarity cool: We had decided to dress as colorfully as possible. We had actually come up with a branding idea that we were calling Union Drip. We thought of it as if we were starting a rap group. You needed your own style, your own look, so that people could connect with you right away.

Despite State’s Attempts To Stamp Out Opposition, Our Movements Persevere

June 19, 2026 Austin C. McCoy, Truthout. Educate! Civil rights movement, ICE, Liberation Movements, Solidarity

It is difficult to find inspiration on this Juneteenth. We are still living in difficult times. In the last year, hundreds of thousands of African Americans have lost jobs. Some state legislatures in the South — Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi — have sought to dilute Black political power after the Supreme Court issued its Louisiana v. Callais decision. Meanwhile, this new administration has enacted a white nationalist immigration policy — effectively closing the Southern border; throwing undocumented people into prisons and camps; deporting thousands, including children; and unleashing the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) onto blue cities like Los Angeles and Minneapolis.

Minneapolis, MN – On the morning of June 15, the Department of Justice announced charges against 15 anti-ice protesters for “conspiracy to impede or injure a federal officer,” and other bogus charges. That same morning 12 out of the 15 protesters had their homes raided and were arrested in relation to the federal indictment. After the arrests, the DOJ held a press conference, where U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen claimed that the accused had assaulted a federal officer and destroyed government property, among other charges. When asked, Rosen did not respond to any questions regarding the injuries or the number of agents injured by the indicted, or about the investigations of the federal agents who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

And it worked!” In December 2025, beloved coworker Genesis VanDyke applied for a production cook position in the prepared foods department.

Tens of thousands of California educators joined forces statewide, wagering that they could win more by working together. The result was a wave of strikes this school year that defied narratives of austerity and won better funding. “Our districts are different, but our stories are the same,” said Gina Gray, a Los Angeles high school English teacher who served on her union’s extended bargaining committee. “It’s exciting to see how up and down the state, locals are really standing up. Educators everywhere are saying: Enough is enough. Invest in public education the way it deserves to be.”

Walking The Migrant Trail

There is nothing like walking quietly with a group of committed people through the hot Arizona desert to bring home the deadly reality faced by migrants coming to the U.S. through its southern border. Thousands of migrants have made this journey over the years. Forced into the Sonoran desert by the inhumane U.S. Prevention Through Deterrence policy and hunted by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), they have endured blazing heat and scarcity of water and shade as they have desperately sought asylum and a better life. Some have made it through, but many have not. Over 8000 migrant deaths have been recorded over the past 30 years. And there are many more whose bodies have not been found.

Even before Donald Trump launched a war on Iran, his presidency had heightened the strain on millions of people in the United States struggling with high prices and precarious work. Now, as the U.S. and Israel escalate their violence in the Middle East, pressures at home are intensifying. Higher prices at the gas pump make the war-related surge in energy costs visible to all. Less apparent are disruptions to global fertilizer supplies resulting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. Combined with widespread drought and the impacts of tariffs, the fertilizer shortage could cut food supplies, worsening the affordability crisis and spreading food insecurity.
