The Necessity Of Birthright Citizenship For Black People

July 6, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Birthright Citizenship, Black America, History, Trump Administration

The idea of citizenship has always been a thorny one for Black people. The original United States constitution allowed the enslaved to be counted for purposes of determining congressional representation, but only as three-fifths of a person. The struggles for liberation during enslavement reached their nadir in the 1857 Supreme Court case of Dred Scott v. Sandford , in which not only were an enslaved man and his family wrongly deprived of their freedom, but Chief Justice Roger B. Taney infamously declared that not only were the Scotts not free, but that no Black person had any rights “which the white man was bound to respect.”

The Senate on Tuesday advanced a massive spending package, dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill” by President Trump, that includes $150 billion in extra military spending. The bill passed in a vote of 51-50, with Vice President JD Vance casting the tie-breaking vote, as three Republicans — Senators Rand Paul (KY), Susan Collins (ME), and Thom Tillis (NC) — joined Democrats in voting against the sprawling piece of legislation. House GOP leaders have scheduled a vote for the bill on Wednesday and are hoping to get it to President Trump’s desk by this Friday, though uncertainty remains about how fast it will get through the chamber.

The Trump administration has approved a new arms deal for Israel that will provide the country with $510 million worth of Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), kits that turn bombs into precision-guided weapons, as the US continues to provide military aid to support the genocidal war in Gaza. According to the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), the State Department notified Congress of the sale of 3,845 JDAMS for 2,000-pound BLU-109 bombs and 3,280 JDAMS for 500-pound MK 82 bombs. The deal also includes US “government and contractor engineering, logistics, and technical support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.”

EPA Employees Send ‘Declaration Of Dissent’ Over Policies Under Trump

A group of Environmental Protection Agency employees on Monday published a declaration of dissent from the agency’s policies under the Trump administration, saying they “undermine the EPA mission of protecting human health and the environment.” More than 170 EPA employees put their names to the document, with about 100 more signing anonymously out of fear of retaliation, according to Jeremy Berg, a former editor-in-chief of Science magazine who is not an EPA employee but was among non-EPA scientists or academics to also sign. The latter figure includes 20 Nobel laureates.

US Policy On Sudan Hurts Civilians Rather Than Warring Factions

June 29, 2025 Zeina Mohammed and Ragad Babiker, Scheer Post. Educate! Africa, Sudan, Trump Administration, Wars and Militarism

As the war in Sudan enters its third year, experts, activists, and other community members say recent U.S. foreign policy is hurting, not helping, civilians. This month, the Trump administration banned Sudanese nationals, in addition to 11 other nationalities, from entering the U.S., a couple of weeks after the administration imposed sanctions on the country, claiming the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) used chemical weapons in their fight with Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Both moves, experts say, have drastically reduced resources and mobility for civilians at the center of the world’s worst humanitarian crisis more than they hinder the competing armed forces. As of this April, nearly 13 million people have been displaced, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency.

Did A Leak Stop Trump From Sending 9,000 Migrants To Guantánamo?

Yesterday, June 26, was the UN International Day in Support of Victims of Torture, first marked in 1998 to commemorate the historic day in 1987 when the UN Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment came into effect, and also to mark the historic day in 1945 when the United Nations Charter, the founding document of the UN, was signed in San Francisco by 50 countries. Despite the best intentions of those who worked assiduously to create the Torture Convention over many decades, many of its signatories have — either openly or covertly — failed to fulfill their obligations to prevent the use of torture.

Trump Is Setting The US Economy Up For Another Great Financial Crisis

June 27, 2025 C. J. Polychroniou, Truthout. Educate! Donald Trump, Economic crisis, Finance and the Economy, Trump Administration, wealth inequality

The financial system of the United States has always been prone to instability and crises. Now, however, under the new Trump administration, which is pushing for major cuts in regulation, including in the cryptocurrency sector in which the Trump family has a major financial stake, the financial system has become more vulnerable than ever, posing serious risks to the wider economy. Of course, this matters very little to Donald Trump, his family, and his billionaire friends. For Trump, the actual meaning of “America First” is “self-enrichment.” In the interview that follows, progressive economist Gerald Epstein, a leading expert in finance and banking, talks about the changing nature of the U.S. finance system under Trump 2.0.

Relatives of Venezuelan migrants detained in El Salvador for 100 days reported this Tuesday, June 24, to the Secretariat of the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, on the violations of individual rights faced by the detained migrants. “We were received and heard individually and collectively, we presented our cases, 252 broken families, our relatives were violated and taken to a CECOT prison in an arbitrary manner, there was no notification, it was under deception, without due process,” declared Mairelys Cacique, who belongs to the committee of relatives of Venezuelan migrants detained in the Central American country.

Trump Official: CIA’s Ratcliffe Acts As ‘Mossad Stenographer’ On Iran

An official in the administration of President Donald Trump has told The Grayzone that CIA Director John Ratcliffe and US CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla have become vehicles for Israel’s Mossad and military as they seek to manipulate the US into attacking Iran. The Trump official referred to Ratcliffe as “Mossad’s stenographer.” According to the official, Ratcliffe and Kurilla have pressured Trump to join Israel’s war more directly by regurgitating overblown briefings they received from the Israeli military and Mossad director David Barnea – but without informing the president that the intelligence was derived from a foreign third party.

Mohammad Marandi: This War Was Supposed To Break Iran

June 18, 2025 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. Resistance Report Iran, Israel, Trump Administration, Wars and Militarism

The Israeli attack on Iran continues. Since Friday, IDF jets and missiles have hit sites across the country, carrying out targeted assassinations of key leaders and hitting buildings and other civilian infrastructure. Iran has retaliated in kind, firing missiles into Israel. The Trump administration, which knew about the secret Israeli attack from the beginning, appears to be on the brink of fully entering the war on Israel’s side. Thus, the question arises: Are we on the verge of a major new war? And what does all this mean for the rest of the world? Joining MintCast to discuss this is Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran.

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

June 17, 2025 ANSWER Coalition. Resist! Iran, Israel, National Day of Action, Trump Administration, Wars and Militarism

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. Strategize! Donald Trump, ICE, Repression, Solidarity, Trump Administration

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

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. Educate! Columbia University, Legal System, Mahmoud Khalil, Trump Administration

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.
