National Day Of Protest June 18: No War On Iran!

June 17, 2025 ANSWER Coalition. , , , ,
Trump may be about to drag the United States directly into a devastating regional war in the Middle East with an attack on Iran. In these critical days and hours, all people who oppose the war machine need to be in the streets! Protests across the country will take place on June 18, as part of a national day of action.  Already, the administration has backed the brutal Israeli bombardment that has caused widespread civilian casualties -- carried out with an arsenal paid for with our taxpayer dollars. But now, Trump may be on the verge of ordering direct U.S. strikes that would escalate the war to unspeakably dangerous new heights.

Solidarity Against ICE And The Entire State Apparatus

June 15, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , ,
The devolution of Black politics has never been so evident and could not happen at a worse moment. While the crisis of legitimacy accelerates, and provides opportunities for movement politics, many Black people have declared themselves to be uninterested in political engagement or even worse, to be in solidarity with state oppression. Social media is replete with examples of Black people declaring that they don’t care about genocide in Gaza, or that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has nothing to do with them or even that they are glad other people are targeted for deportation.

Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Tribes To Restore Salmon

June 15, 2025 Tony Schick, Pro Publica. , , , , , , ,
Less than two years ago, the administration of President Joe Biden announced what tribal leaders hailed as an unprecedented commitment to the Native tribes whose ways of life had been devastated by federal dam-building along the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest. The deal, which took two years to negotiate, halted decades of lawsuits over the harm federal dams had caused to the salmon that had sustained those tribes culturally and economically for thousands of years. To enable the removal of four hydroelectric dams considered especially harmful to salmon, the government promised to invest billions of dollars in alternative energy sources to be created by the tribes.

Government Misses Appeal Deadline But Refuses To Release Mahmoud Khalil

June 14, 2025 Nathan Fuller, Defending Rights & Dissent. , , ,
U.S. government prosecutors told New Jersey District Judge Michael Farbiarz that they would not be releasing detained Columbia student Mahmoud Khalil today, despite Judge Farbriarz’s determination on Wednesday that detaining Khalil on the basis of Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s claim that he poses a risk to U.S. foreign policy was likely unconstitutional. The judge gave the Trump administration until today to appeal that finding. Instead, the government said that a second accusation against Khalil, that he misrepresented himself on his visa application, was sufficient ground to keep him in detention. Stunningly, Farbiarz has now sided with the Trump administration.

Trump’s Manufactured Crisis And The Urgency Of Strategic Nonviolence

June 14, 2025 Paul Engler et al, In These Times. , , ,
We can see on the streets now the precarious situation we’ve studied around the world: the need for mass resistance to state violence and assaults on democracy, and the concurrent need to maintain nonviolent discipline in a dire and escalating situation. Following the example of other authoritarians, Donald Trump wants us to burn cars. He wants us to throw rocks. He wants images of chaos — especially violence against police or National Guard troops — to flood the evening news. These are precisely the results he wants: to manufacture chaos as a means of justifying repression and extending his authoritarian raids on our communities.

Movement Against ICE Raids Spreads To Cities Across The US

June 12, 2025 People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
US President Donald Trump sent in the military to suppress anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles this past weekend, but instead of stopping the protest movement in its tracks, demonstrations have taken place in cities across the entire United States to reject Trump’s immigration policies and crackdown. Since protests erupted against immigration raids in Los Angeles on Friday afternoon, they have spread to cities throughout the US, including New York City, Chicago, Denver, Dallas, Boston, and Atlanta. As the Trump administration scrambles to meet mass deportations quotas, with officials ramping up the immigration enforcement arrest quota to 3,000 per day, ICE operations have escalated to new heights.

Judge Blocks Trump From Continuing To Detain Mahmoud Khalil

June 12, 2025 Michael Arria, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot detain or deport Palestinian student activist Mahmoud Khalil based on Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s determination. New Jersey District Judge Michael E. Farbiarz’s preliminary injunction came in response to Khalil’s habeas corpus petition. The injunction is stayed until Friday morning, allowing the government’s lawyers time to appeal. In addition to granting the request, the court ruled that it was unconstitutional to detain or deport someone based on their political advocacy.

San Carlos Apache Tribe Welcomes Federal Court Ruling On Oak Flat

June 10, 2025 San Carlos Apache, Popular Resistance. , , , , , ,
San Carlos Apache Reservation, Ariz. —The San Carlos Apache Tribe welcomes Friday’s federal court ruling preventing the Trump Administration from trading sacred Oak Flat to Chinese-backed Resolution Copper Mining no sooner than 60 days after the government releases an environmental report expected to be published later this month. The Trump Administration had indicated that it intended to trade 2,422 acres of Tonto National Forest 70 miles east of Phoenix that includes Oak Flat to Resolution Copper immediately upon publication of the mine’s updated environmental report.

Protesters Clash With Law Enforcement In Downtown Los Angeles

June 8, 2025 Frank Stoltze, Megan Garvey and Jared Bennett, LAist. , , , , ,
Federal agents conducted a series of immigration sweeps across Los Angeles on Friday, prompting anger and resistance from onlookers and immigrant rights groups that have braced for this type of action for months. Over the weekend, tensions continued to rise between state and local authorities and Trump administration officials, who said they were calling up the National Guard in response to what they said were "violent mobs" attacking "ICE Officers and Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations in Los Angeles." Gov. Gavin Newsom called the plan to take over deployment from the state "purposefully inflammatory," adding that it "will only escalate tensions."

Gulf Coast Communities Take On Insurers Backing Fossil Fuel Facilities

June 7, 2025 Derek Seidman, Truthout. , , , , , ,
Promising U.S. “energy dominance,” the Trump administration is moving to accelerate fossil fuel production. Key to this agenda is the approval of liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities across Gulf Coast communities that are disproportionately Black, Brown, and low-income, long treated as expendable “sacrifice zones” by the fossil fuel industry. Just recently, on May 23, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) reauthorized the massive CP2 LNG in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, which will be the biggest LNG export facility in the U.S. Local organizers and climate groups have been fighting the expansion of these “methane export facilities” which they say will intensify climate chaos and environmental racism.

JD Vance Announces New Strategy Of Blatant Imperialism, Aimed At China

June 4, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , ,
US Vice President JD Vance has announced what he calls a “new era” in military strategy. “What we are seeing from President Trump is a generational shift in [foreign] policy”, he claimed. The Donald Trump administration is abandoning the US government’s previous emphasis on soft power, Vance explained, and is instead focusing on “hard power” and “overwhelming force”, in a return to blatant, 19th century-style imperialism. According to Vance, Washington’s top priority is now “great power competition”, and preparation for potential war with China. The vice president laid this out in a speech at the commissioning ceremony of the US Naval Academy on 23 May.

The Leap Forward In Surveilling Americans

June 3, 2025 Consortium News. , , ,
Collecting and connecting information on people enables an understanding of who a person is and in what activities they engage. Typically, such efforts have been focused on criminals and those persons seen as real or possible enemies of the government. Over recent years, however, we have seen the U.S. Government weaponize intelligence agencies to focus on American citizens for political reasons, as you are well aware from personal experience. Many such activities are unconstitutional and violations of other law. Congressional and judicial oversight has been ineffective. Indeed, no one in government has been prosecuted for engaging in the exploitation of information illegally collected on American citizens. No one.

The Golden Dome Is Nothing More Than A Massive Corporate Welfare Program

June 2, 2025 Margaret Flowers, Clearing the FOG. , , , , , ,
The Trump administration is reviving previous administrations' plans to build a missile defense system in space. They are calling it the "Golden Dome," similar to Israel's Iron Dome. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it will cost trillions of dollars at a time when the United States has a record-high national debt and is failing to meet domestic needs. Clearing the FOG speaks with Bruce Gagnon, the coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space, about the history of the US project to control space and mine its resources in defiance of United Nations treaties and who will benefit. He also describes resistance efforts around the world and what people in the United States can do to fight it.

Elon Musk Steps Down From DOGE

June 1, 2025 People's Dispatch. , , , ,
The world’s richest man has just stepped down from his position leading a federal government task-force responsible for gutting large portions of the federal government. In a send-off press conference held in the Oval Office on Friday, May 30, Elon Musk received glowing praise from Trump himself. Trump handed Musk an ostentatious golden key to the president’s office after praising the billionaire as “one of the greatest business leaders and innovators the world has ever produced,” who has “worked tirelessly helping lead the most sweeping and consequential government reform program in generations.”

Youth Sue Trump Administration To Block Fossil Fuels Over Renewables

May 31, 2025 Cristen Hemingway Jaynes, EcoWatch. , , , , ,
A new youth climate lawsuit by 22 Americans aged seven to 25 alleges that the Trump administration is engaging in unlawful executive overreach by issuing executive orders that intentionally boost the production of fossil fuels while frustrating the growth of renewable energy. In Lighthiser v. Trump, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Montana, the youth plaintiffs say the administration’s actions violate their constitutional rights to life, health and safety and breach congressional mandates to safeguard public health and ecosystems. “Trump’s fossil fuel orders are a death sentence for my generation,” said named plaintiff Eva Lighthiser in a press release.
