DC Citizens Demand Statehood In Rally And March Against Occupation

September 7, 2025 John Zangas, DC Media Group. , , , ,
Washington DC—Tens of thousands of DC citizens rallied and marched Saturday demanding the immediate end to occupation forces and an end to police harassment and illegal arrests in communities throughout the city. The We Are All DC action was in response to the regime’s deployment of 1000s of federal police and over 2000 Army National Guard Soldiers from Southern States, including Ohio, West Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Citizens denounced roundups of immigrants, traffic stop traps, and the arrests some U.S. citizens. The march began at Malcom X Park and ended about a mile away at Freedom Plaza, where organizers told of the adverse affects the occupation had on their communities, police stops to check drivers, usually without probable cause, and ICE roundups of immigrants and green card holders awaiting their final approval as citizens.

Washington Sanctions Palestinian Rights Groups For Aiding ICC

September 5, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , , , ,
The US has imposed sanctions on three Palestinian human rights organizations that previously petitioned the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate Israel for war crimes in Gaza. “Today, the Trump Administration is sanctioning three NGOs – Al Haq, Al Mezan, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights – for assisting in the ICC's illegitimate actions against Israel. The United States will continue to protect our own sovereignty and the sovereignty of our allies from the ICC's overreach,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrote on Thursday evening on X. The announcement first appeared as a notice on the US Treasury Department's website on Thursday. In November 2023, the organizations requested that the ICC investigate Israel for war crimes in response to its actions in Gaza, including carrying out airstrikes on heavily populated civilian areas, imposing a complete siege to cut off food, water, and electricity to the civilian population, and causing the mass displacement of residents.

‘We’re Going In’: Trump Moves To Deploy Troops To Chicago

September 4, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. , , , , , , ,
After weeks of threats, US President Donald Trump officially announced that he is sending federal forces to the US city of Chicago. On September 2, Trump declared his intent to send federal troops, including National Guard personnel, to Chicago to address rising crime, stating: “We’re going in. I didn’t say when, but we’re going in.” On Tuesday, Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Chicago is “the worst and most dangerous city in the World, by far.” Chicago is not the most dangerous city in the world or even the nation in terms of violent crime and homicide. Chicago’s overall violent crime rate remains higher than the national average, but it’s seeing a steady decline.

Hundreds Of Staff At California National Parks To Unionize

September 3, 2025 Dani Anguiano, The Guardian. , , , ,
Hundreds of staff at two of California’s most popular national parks have voted to unionize, a move that comes during a troubled summer for the National Park Service, which has seen the Trump administration enact unprecedented staff and budget cuts. In an election held between July and August, more than 97% of workers at Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon national parks voted in support of organizing a union, according to a statement from the National Federation of Federal Employees. The Federal Labor Relations Authority certified the results last week. “I am honored to welcome the Interpretive Park Rangers, scientists, biologists, photographers, geographers, and so many other federal employees in essential roles at both Yosemite and Sequoia & Kings Canyon to our union,” said Randy Erwin, the NFFE national president.

Scores Of Climate Experts Condemn Trump Climate Report As ‘Junk Science’

September 3, 2025 Sharon Kelly and Emily J. Gertz, DeSmog. , , ,
A group of more than 85 climate experts today released a scathing review of the Trump administration’s “Climate Working Group” report on climate change science, condemning it as “biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policymaking.” The reviewers include MacArthur “Genius” Fellows, a half-dozen members of the National Academy of Sciences, Royal Society fellows, and fellows from other prominent scientific organizations including the American Meteorological Society, which issued its own separate statement criticizing the Climate Working Group report. They found that the federal report “exhibits pervasive problems with misrepresentation and selective citation of the scientific literature, cherry-picking of data, and faulty or absent statistics” in order “to downplay the risks of record-breaking heat, intense rainfall, worsening wildfires, rising sea levels, and widespread health harms – all well-established by decades of peer-reviewed science.”

A Funny Thing Happened To US Warships On Their Way To The Caribbean

August 31, 2025 Maria Paez Victor, Orinoco Tribune. , , ,
The USA has deployed two warships, an armed nuclear submarine and 4,500 troops to the Caribbean Sea. According to Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, their supposed mission is to combat drug trafficking and a drug cartel called “Cartel de los Soles” [Cartel of the Sun’s]. Rubio claims that it is led by President Maduro, and he insists that it is intent on “flooding” the US with narcotics. He stated that this cartel is one of the largest criminal organizations that exists in the hemisphere. Military experts, however, point out that two warships and a nuclear submarine is overkill and ineffective to combat smugglers’ boats, for which helicopters and coast-guard-type ships would be more effective.

Medicare Pilot Hands Denials To Private Algorithms

August 31, 2025 Alexis Sterling, Nation of  Change. , , , ,
The Trump administration is launching a pilot program in six states that will allow artificial intelligence to help decide whether elderly Americans can receive certain medical procedures under traditional Medicare. The move has been likened by critics to the creation of “AI death panels,” with experts and advocates warning it risks importing the most unpopular practices of private insurance into the federal health program. The pilot, officially named the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction Model, is scheduled to begin in January and last six years. It will run in Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. Under the program, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will hire private companies to use A.I. tools to make “prior authorization” decisions—determinations about whether Medicare will pay for particular procedures.

Essentials For Fighting ICE

August 30, 2025 Marc Delucchi and Sophie Shepherd, Counter Punch. , , ,
Since Donald Trump’ s inauguration, ICE has ramped up aggressive attempts to abduct and deport community members across the country. ICE’s tactics and strategies aren’t new. It’s important to remember that every president (yes, even Barack Obama & Joe Biden) and congress has increased ICE’s budget since its creation in 2003. ICE threatening more and more people has always been a logical conclusion of its existence. ICE must be abolished. Trump’s current “Border Czar” Tom Homan (a West Carthage, New York native who began his career as a West Carthage Police Officer) was first appointed to an executive director position with ICE in 2013 by Obama. Obama gave Homan a Presidential Rank Award as a “Distinguished Executive” after Homan began arguing children should be separated from their parents in immigration custody.

Judge Blocks Deportation Of Kilmar Abrego Garcia To Uganda, For Now

August 28, 2025 Mike Ludwig, Truthout. , , ,
A federal judge appeared skeptical of the Trump administration’s latest attempt to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia in a court scheduling hearing on August 25, the same day Abrego Garcia was rearrested during a check-in with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The judge has ordered that the longtime Maryland resident be detained within the continental United States as a lawsuit challenging his detention and removal moves forward this week. The judge suggested previous protective orders would be extended if the administration attempts a deportation in the meantime. The temporary order from U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis came only hours after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced that Abrego García was being processed for deportation to Uganda, a nation with a dismal human rights record, and to which the Salvadoran national has no ties.

Opposing The Transfer Of Native Sacred Land Isn’t ‘Anti-American’

August 28, 2025 Levi Rickert, Native News Online. , , ,
With a deadline looming for the ownership transfer of Oak Flat to Resolution Copper, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals last week granted an emergency injunction that temporarily halted the transfer.  Within 24 hours, President Donald Trump weighed in on the debate with inflammatory, ill-informed rhetoric on social media. He called the appeals court a “Radical Left Court” for issuing the emergency injunction blocking the transfer of Oak Flat to foreign-owned mining interests.  In his post, Trump wrote “our country, quite simply, needs copper–and NOW.” He went further, labeling those who oppose the mine as “anti-American,” suggesting they’re working against the interests of the United States.

Eco-Solidarity And The Threat To Venezuela: Act Now!

August 26, 2025 the Alliance for Global Justice, Popular Resistance. , , ,
The Trump administration is sending three warships with 4,500 marines to the coast of Venezuela, raising tensions and stoking fears of a possible US invasion. This act is the latest in a series of provocations carried out in the name of the fake War on Drugs. The newest threat follows the announcement of a $50 million dollar bounty for the arrest of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, and a declaration by the White House asserting the military option to invade the borders of any nation in order to combat alleged narcotraffickers. This justification, however, is not sincere. The Drug War is the new Big Lie used as a flimsy cover for war and repression.

DC Against Trump Coalition Shuts Down Racist Curfew Zone

August 26, 2025 Merawi Gerima, Fight Back! News. , , , ,
Washington, DC – Before organizers from the DC Against Trump Coalition (DCAT) even finished setting up for their August 23 rally at 14th and U Streets in Northwest Washington DC, community members began spontaneously chanting “Fuck Trump!” Anti-Trump sentiment has been sky-high in Washington, DC since August 11, when Trump issued an executive order sweeping away the city’s home rule powers, federalizing the Metropolitan Police Department and flooding the city with federal law enforcement and National Guard troops. To capture that sentiment and turn it into action against Trump’s racist occupation, DCAT called a rally at the city’s “curfew zone,” a location where law enforcement targets Black minors found after 8 p.m.

War Against Workers In United States Intensifies

August 26, 2025 Steve Gillis, Workers' World. , , ,
It has been a month-long whirlwind of fascistic maneuvers by President Donald Trump’s administration. First came the firing of Erika McEntarfer as director of the Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on Aug. 1. Trump then immediately nominated Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation chief economist E.J. Antoni as her replacement. Next came the staging of hundreds of National Guard troops in the streets of Washington, D.C. All of this intensifies the war against workers and oppressed peoples coast to coast. McEntarger’s firing immediately followed the BLS’s monthly “jobs report,” which claimed that from May through July 2025, only 73,000 jobs had been created in the world’s largest capitalist economy.

Pentagon Authorizes DC Guard Contingent To Carry Weapons Of War

August 24, 2025 Jacob Crosse, WSWS.org. , , , ,
On Friday, President Donald Trump threatened to extend the current military occupation of Washington D.C. to other major US cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles. His threats to essentially impose martial law on major American cities came the same day the Pentagon confirmed that the over 2,000 National Guard soldiers currently occupying D.C. would begin carrying weapons of war. Speaking first at the Kennedy Center and again inside the Oval Office, Trump, wearing a red hat with the phrase “Trump Was Right About Everything,” said he was receiving calls “from politicians begging me to go to Chicago, begging me to go to New York, begging me to go to Los Angeles.”

Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser Epitomizes Black Misleadership

August 23, 2025 Margaret Kimberley, Black Agenda Report. , , ,
Black Agenda Report is credited with coining the phrase “Black misleadership class,” although that acknowledgement should go to James A. Warren, who as far as anyone knows was the first to use that term in a 2005 Black Commentator article entitled, “Thirty-seven Years of Non-Struggle Leadership.” Journalistic standards require that we make this correction, but we do take credit for popularizing this term which describes the bulk of U.S. Black elected officials and others in prominent organizational leadership positions. At this moment, a dictionary definition of the Black misleadership class should include a photo of Washington DC mayor Muriel Bowser, who fits the description perfectly.
