Trump Administration

Netanyahu Faces His Biggest Challenge Yet In Washington

September 28, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
“This is my most important meeting,” U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday. He was not referring to his long, rambling, and incoherent address to the United Nations, but to the meeting he later held with Arab and Muslim leaders from around the world at which he presented what he is calling his “21-Point Plan” for ending the Israeli onslaught on Gaza. Leaders from Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Türkiye, Pakistan, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan attended. The idea was to get buy-in from all these countries before Trump meets with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. There is no indication that any meeting with any Palestinian group or leader is part of this process. 

Protesters Rally At Portland ICE Facility After Trump Deploys Troops

September 28, 2025 Matthew Nuttle, KATU. , , , ,
Portland, OR — Less than 24 hours after President Donald Trump announced he was sending troops to Portland, protesters and ICE agents came face to face with minor clashes. KATU witnessed one get detained by officers. In an early-morning post on Truth Social, Trump said he has authorized “full force” if necessary to protect “War ravaged Portland.” Saturday’s announcement is the latest move the president has made in deploying troops in cities and states run by Democrats. In his post, Trump said the decision was made to protect the city and ICE facilities “under siege by ANTIFA, and other domestic terrorists.”

Chris Hedges Report: Trump’s Crackdown On Anti-War Activists

September 26, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
Medea Benjamin and CODEPINK, the organization she cofounded, are synonymous with accosting power in the United States. Their fearless confrontations with the nation’s most prominent and powerful politicians in the halls of Congress, often seen through viral videos, are a stark embodiment of the First Amendment. Despite over 20 years of activism and consistent critique of America’s representatives over their subservience to the military industrial complex and other big money interests, their ability to have these conversations is beginning to dwindle. Benjamin joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to discuss the current moment in American politics, which sees free speech sitting on a knife’s edge following the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the American political class’s continued support of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

We Who Believe In Democracy Must Fight To Make It Real

September 26, 2025 Luis Feliz Leon, Labor Notes. , , ,
We wake daily to new spectacles of violence and humiliation: kidnappings in broad daylight, attacks on unions, LGBTQ people, women, and immigrants, the erosion of long-cherished rights. It’s no longer a tricky question whether we have tipped into authoritarianism. The answer is yes. To fight back, we have to confront what the Trump administration is exploiting: fear. We are living in fear, cowed by it. Each workplace and free speech crackdown, each violation of democratic norms, feeds on the paralysis that fear produces. Fear is the fuel of authoritarianism. Democracy is its antidote. But all around us is evidence of how thoroughly democracy has been hollowed out—and it didn’t start with Trump. Democracy is its antidote. But all around us is evidence of how thoroughly democracy has been hollowed out—and it didn’t start with Trump.

Chris Hedges: We Are All Antifa Now

September 25, 2025 Chris Hedges, Consortium News. , , , ,
Trump’s designation of the amorphous group antifa, which has no formal organization or structure, as a terrorist organization permits the state to charge us all as terrorists. The point is not to go after members of antifa, short for anti-fascist. It is to go after the last vestiges of dissent. When Barack Obama oversaw the coordinated national campaign to shut down the Occupy encampments, antifa — so named because they dress in black, obscure their faces, move as a unified mass and seek physical confrontations with police – was the excuse. “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” the president wrote in a Truth Social post.

Federal Workers Declare Five-Alarm Fires At Agencies

September 25, 2025 Jenny Brown, Labor Notes. , , ,
Braving retaliation, thousands of federal workers across six agencies have signed open letters charging that their workplaces are being hamstrung or dismantled by the Trump administration. They join federal unionists at dozens more workplaces who have been sounding the alarm to Congress and the public. When deadly flooding in central Texas killed 135 people in July, “FEMA’s mission to provide critical support was obstructed by leadership who not only question the agency’s existence but place uninformed cost-cutting above serving the American people,” wrote 155 Federal Emergency Management Agency workers on August 25. A third of FEMA’s staff were either fired or have resigned so far this year.

Don’t Let Wall Street Gamble With Your Golden Years

September 25, 2025 Chloe Rogers, Scheer Post. , , ,
Your retirement savings are supposed to be the safest money you’ll ever have — not a roll of the dice. The whole point of a 401(k) and other retirement plans is to let you gradually build wealth that brings economic security in your golden years. But private equity firms are itching to lure retirement savers into Wall Street’s casino. Anyone who wants a secure retirement should recall what Las Vegas tourists inevitably learn: the house always wins. Private equity is a business model built on raising money from big, sophisticated institutional investors like pension funds, endowments, and insurance companies — then buying companies to flip them for profit. It works out well for Wall Street executives who pocket enormous fees, but it often leaves companies and workers in ruins.

Lawsuit Exposes Secret Agreement To Deport Migrants To Ghana

September 24, 2025 Abayomi Azikiwe, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
The other four governments, Eswatini, South Sudan, Uganda and Rwanda have already been acknowledged as being collaborators with the administration of President Donald Trump which has deployed thousands of Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) agents across the country to round up people suspected of being inside the country without proper documents.

Diplomats And Activists Gather To Commemorate Historic Meeting Between Fidel And Malcolm X

September 23, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , ,
Cuban Minister of Foreign Affairs Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla and Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Carlos Fernández de Cossío, along with Cuban diplomats from the Permanent Mission of Cuba to the United Nations, gathered in Harlem alongside US-based activists and organizational leaders to commemorate the historic meeting between Fidel Castro and Malcolm X which took place 65 years ago. “The meeting at the Hotel Theresa was not a photo-op or passing event,” said Manolo De Los Santos, the executive director of New York City-based movement incubator The People’s Forum. De Los Santos addressed the crowd gathered in the Riverside Church in Harlem. “It was a profound act of solidarity that showed the world a different way forward.”

How The US Sells Wars The Intelligence Doesn’t Support

September 22, 2025 Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , ,
The United States is building up its military assets, sparking fears of another regime change attempt against Venezuela—and this one could be far more deadly than the others. Citing an influx of Venezuelan drugs into the U.S., the Trump administration is rapidly building up its military forces, encircling the South American nation, one which has been in Washington’s crosshairs for over a quarter of a century. MintPress News explores Trump’s extraordinary claims and assesses the history of U.S. efforts to overthrow the Venezuelan government. The Trump administration is once again setting its sights on Venezuela. In recent weeks, President Trump deployed additional naval and air assets to the Caribbean, including seven warships, a submarine, and an amphibious assault ship, designed for maritime invasions.

Media Outlets Ask Trump Not To ‘Edit’ Press Visas

September 16, 2025 Cuba Periodistas, Resumen English. , , , , ,
A hundred media outlets and journalists’ associations have signed a statement asking the US government to withdraw its previously announced plans to shorten the duration of visas for foreign journalists to less than one year. “The proposal to limit visas to 240 days would disrupt a proven system, create instability for correspondents and their families, and reduce the quantity and quality of coverage from the United States,” the statement said. According to the signatories, the current visas, which allow stays of up to five years, “have for decades ensured that international journalists can accurately report on live and breaking news in the United States.”

Super Predators, Born Criminals, And The Black Misleadership Class

September 14, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , , , ,
There is nothing more bipartisan in the United States than a racialized crime panic. Neither Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, nor Donald Trump makes a direct reference to Black people in their screeds. But their policies were and are directed at Black people. Which group is arrested more often than any other in this country? Who is most likely to be incarcerated? Whose neighborhoods are over policed? Who do the police kill most often? It is reasonable to say that Black people are the targets of this hate speech which comes from democrats and republicans alike. Even worse, the Black misleadership class gives cover to this incitement of fear and loathing against their people.

DC Against Trump Coalition Community Police Patrol Black Neighborhood

September 9, 2025 Iain McNeely, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Washington, D.C. — On Friday, September 5, over 30 activists and community members assembled in Washington, D.C. 's Navy Yard neighborhood for a “mass cop watch” organized by the DC Against Trump Agenda (DCAT) coalition. This cop watch is just one of many actions that the coalition has organized in weeks since President Trump declared that he would be federalizing DC’s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) and deploying the National Guard to the city. “This is an occupation,” said Kristen Bonner, organizer for the DC Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression (DCAARPR). “We are seeing heavily armed soldiers on our streets, our buses, and our trains. Sometimes as many as a dozen on a single block.”

As Trump Declares War On The City, Chicago’s Best Hope Now Is Workers

September 9, 2025 James Dennis Hoff, Left Voice. , , , , ,
President Trump has said a lot of hateful and stupid things in his life, and he’s posted a lot of offensive and often half-intelligible statements and images on the White House’s official social media account. But Saturday’s unhinged AI-generated image of him as the infamous Colonel Kilgore (does no one in the White House communications department understand satire?) from Apocalypse Now really takes the cake. The image shows Trump in the character’s iconic cavalry hat, in front of a burning Chicago skyline with the text: “‘I love the smell of deportations in the morning …’ Chicago is about to find out why it’s called the Department of War.” Needless to say, implying that the United States Department of Defense will unleash napalm on a major U.S. city is not normal behavior for the commander in chief, but here we are.

US Considers Bombing Venezuela; Deploys F-35 Fighter Jets To Puerto Rico

September 8, 2025 Dave DeCamp,  Antiwar.com. , , , ,
The Trump administration is considering multiple options for launching military strikes against alleged drug cartels in Venezuela, including hitting targets that could weaken Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, as it is deploying F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico, CNN has reported. US officials told CNN that the US bombing of a boat near Venezuela last week was just the beginning of a much larger effort against drug trafficking that could lead to the ouster of Maduro. US officials claim the pressure on Venezuela and Maduro is about drug trafficking and a response to overdose deaths in the US, but fentanyl doesn’t come from or through Venezuela, and the majority of the cocaine that is transported to the US comes through the Pacific, not the Caribbean.
