After ICE Shooting, Austin Community Organizes

October 2, 2026 Neha Madhira, Scheer Post. , , ,
Federal prosecutors in Texas charged a Venezuelan national and father living in Austin on Tuesday with assaulting, resisting, and impeding a federal officer, after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sideswiped his car and shot him in the back Sept. 20 without warning as he was turning around to park.  Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez, 28, entered the U.S. in 2024 with a valid work permit to seek asylum and provide for his son in Venezuela, who has mobility disabilities that require expensive physical therapy, through a program begun under former President Joe Biden. However, President Donald Trump ended the program on his first day in office.

September 12, 2026 Fight Back! News. , , ,
Dallas, TX – 400 people took to the streets of Dallas on September 10 to protest the Republican Party’s midterm convention and demonstrate opposition to the Trump agenda.

The action began at Pike Park. Demonstrators marched toward the convention. Hundreds of protesters participated in the march, which made its way toward the security perimeter surrounding the convention.

Texas Activists Protest Deportation Flight Operators

August 5, 2026 Dahj Voytek, People's World. , , , , ,
We all know the hassles of air travel. Joining the seemingly never-ending security line at the airport one recent morning, I noticed something new. Among the cluster of tiny signs showing details of random assortments of airport information, one stood out. A small, barely noticeable poster told passengers, presumably undocumented immigrants, to self-deport themselves for a measly $1,000 payment or risk being held in inhumane holding facilities where food, water, and medical care are often denied.

Meet-And-Greet Protested For Connection To Paligen Bomb Factory

Garland, TX – On July 2, outside the Garland Chamber of Commerce meet and greet, the DFW Anti-War Committee held a protest to demand that Garland Independent School District (GISD) and Dallas College stop sending students to build bombs in the Paligen Technology factory. The event was hosted at Tavern on the Square, the owner of which berated, threatened and called the police on protesters for writing chalk messages on the public sidewalk near his business. Messages included “Stop the bombs Garland,” “Stop partnering with Paligen” and “No to Garland students building bombs.” Police came and went without incident and the protest proceeded.

Education Crisis A Major Malfunction In The Engine Of Democracy

July 27, 2026 Mary Rose Quinn and Michael O'Dea, People's World. , , , , ,
Houston, Texas — While students, parents, teachers, and school staff enjoy what remains of their summer, the nation’s literacy crisis continues to loom overhead. The results of three decades of educational “reform” reveal a dangerous backslide in education that has coincided with the broader backslide in democracy. Among the many factors identified as contributing to the education crisis are an overemphasis on standardized testing, remote learning that took off during the COVID-19 pandemic, the elimination of free reading time in schools, declining rates of reading for pleasure among both children and adults, the rise of digital technologies that compete for attention, and growing economic inequality.

Time To Get AIPAC And All Dirty Money Out Of Politics

June 26, 2026 Dahj Voytek, People's World. , , ,
In 2026, with the rising costs of food, rent, and healthcare in the United States, one might ask: Where are our tax dollars going?   Well, since World War II, Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. Foreign assistance from 1940 to 2026, the United States Congress has sent an estimated $174 Billion dollars to Israel for military spending. In 2016, the U.S. Government pledged to give Israel another $38 billion in military spending over the next 10 years. As if sending away billions of taxpayer dollars annually wasn’t enough, Israel also drives a vast majority of funds to the occupation using the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, otherwise known as AIPAC. 

Prairieland Defendant Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison

Fort Worth, Texas — Daniel Sanchez Estrada wasn’t accused of attempted murder or material support of terrorism after a protest turned catastrophically wrong outside an ICE detention center in Alvarado, Texas. He was merely convicted of obstructing the investigation by moving a box full of antifascist zines after the protest. Giving him a long prison term would make a mockery of justice, his defense attorney, Christopher Weinbel, told U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor on Tuesday. “The punishment must fit the crimes — not the headlines, not the politics, not the fears that have been mongered about the case,” he said.

Mental Health Workers Fight For Living Wages

June 24, 2026 Mary Rose Quinn, People's World. , , , ,
Houston, TX—For the mental health workers at the Harris Center for Mental Health and Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), the work is a calling. But for many, it’s also a financial struggle that forces them to hold two or even three jobs just to make ends meet. In an interview with People’s World, Brian O’Reilly, a counselor at the Harris Center and member of United Workers of Harris Center-CWA Local 6154, described conditions on the front lines of Houston’s public mental health system as dire—and getting worse. “Generally speaking, conditions are poor, and morale is low,” he said.

Two Justice Systems: Karmelo Anthony, Racism And The Right To Self-Defense

June 15, 2026 Kathleen Grant and Lev Koufax, Struggle - La Lucha. , , ,
Karmelo Anthony, a young Black man, is headed to prison at the ripe age of 19. So, what was Karmelo’s crime? And why has the system deemed fit to erase his adult life with a brutal prison sentence? In April 2025, then-17-year-old Karmelo participated in a track meet in Frisco, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. It started to rain during the meet, so young Karmelo walked under a pop-up tent where he was met with immediate hostility. Upon entry into a rival team’s tent, he was confronted by Austin Metcalf and his twin brother. Karmelo was told to move out of Metcalf’s team tent, as the two parties were on rival teams.

FIFA In The Sun, Soccer In The Shadow

April 26, 2026 Rick Majumdar, Fight Back! News. , , , , ,
Soccer is globally celebrated. It is the most consumed sport in the world. At least a billion people tune in to watch the World Cup every four years. Soccer reflects both international and working-class characteristics. Soccer is a reflection of greater contradictions of the world playing out on a football pitch. Most importantly, the primary contradiction that has grasped the world tightly; the contradiction between the countries that dominate by imperialism and those that are subjected to this domination. Yet fans, being fans, have historically risked it all for a brief moment of exuberance. In 2014, Brazilian fans bicycled through the Amazon region to watch the games in the Manaus. In 2022, Argentinian fans sold their houses to go watch Messi play his last tournament in Qatar.

Diane Wilson On Hunger Strike, Demands Zero Discharge Of Plastics

April 25, 2026 Rav Mosley, Crossroads Today. , , , , ,
Seadrift, Texas — Environmental activist Diane Wilson has been on a hunger strike for nearly a month, protesting Dow Chemical over plastic pellets she says are turning up in San Antonio Bay near Seadrift. Wilson, a longtime critic of industrial pollution along the Texas coast, says the small pellets, a raw material used to make plastic products — pose risks to the bay and surrounding communities. “You are destroying your health, your bay system, your whole communities, and it’s very destructive,” Wilson said. “This bay does not belong to Dow … we’re trying to get them to zero discharge the plastic.”

Oil Explosion In Black Town Traces Back To Iran And Venezuela Crises

April 8, 2026 Adam Mahoney, Black Agenda Report. , , , , , ,
John Beard takes no pleasure in being right. In January, he told Capital B that he feared U.S. military action in Venezuela, which ultimately gave America preferential access to the South American nation’s vast oil reserves, would lead to disaster in southeast Texas. “The chickens have come home to roost,” Beard said over the phone, between fielding calls from his neighbors. “Our exact fears have come true.” On March 23, an explosion at the Valero Port Arthur Refinery shook homes as far as 11 miles away and sent a thick black plume across the predominantly Black city.

FBI Files Counter Government Argument In Texas ‘Antifa’ Trial

March 26, 2026 Adam Federman, In These Times. , , , , ,
Fort Worth, Texas—On the last day of testimony in the federal ​“Prairieland” trial — wherein nine activists faced charges related to a protest outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center — the government called its star witness back to the stand. Kyle Shideler, director of counterterrorism research at the right-wing think tank Center for Security Policy, had been key to the prosecution’s case that ​“antifa” — the loose network of activists defined by their opposition to fascism — is a violent, criminal organization bent on overthrowing the U.S. government.

Why The Prairieland Nine Convictions Are A Warning To All Movements

March 21, 2026 Black Alliance for Peace, Hood Communist. , , ,
The Black Alliance for Peace stands in solidarity with the Prairieland Nine following their convictions in federal court in Fort Worth, Texas, and we condemn this ruling as lawfare against people’s movements. These verdicts must be understood as part of a broader escalation in the U.S. state’s war against the people and popular organization. The prosecution of the Prairieland Nine demonstrates how the architecture of the so-called War on Terror is increasingly being turned inward. By applying terrorism frameworks to a protest connected to the Prairieland ICE detention center, the federal government is advancing a precedent meant to criminalize political dissent and suppress movements challenging the violence of the U.S. national security state.

Students Across The US Are Protesting ICE

February 19, 2026 J. David Goodman, Mary Beth Gahan and Callie Holtermann, Portside. , , , ,
Students in more than three dozen states have walked out of class to protest the Trump administration’s deportation tactics in recent weeks, a wave of defiant demonstrations that continues as some officials have vowed to crack down. Teenagers in Utah carried backpacks and bullhorns as they walked out of eight schools in Salt Lake County. In Maine, students in mittens convened on a bridge over the Kennebec River. Scores of students were seen stopping highway traffic in Maryland. Classmates at a high school in Sunnyside, Wash., lined a parking lot carrying hand-drawn posters. “We are skipping our lesson to teach you one,” read one.
