A Spark Of Hope From Scrappy Federal Workers

I guess it’s gotten to me after all,” Russ Schafer conceded, gesturing toward his involuntarily shaking hand. Schafer, who requested a pseudonym in order to avoid workplace retaliation, has worked at the Environmental Protection Agency for more than 20 years. He’s trying to hold on to his job and refused “the fork” — the voluntary resignations pushed by the Trump administration in February, so-called because the subject line of the email to federal employees, “Fork in the Road,” was nearly the same as one sent to Twitter employees in 2022 by the company’s then-new owner, Elon Musk. “I’m just unwilling to walk away from my work. It’ll take a much bigger bribe to get me to give up on that,” Schafer told me.

Trump Administration Wants To Turn US Cities Into Occupied Territory

August 8, 2025 Jesse MacKinnon, Common Dreams. Educate! DHS, Domestic Occupation, Law Enforcement, Trump Administration

By any rational measure, the Trump administration’s internal Department of Homeland Security memo—obtained by The New Republic—reads less like a briefing on immigration enforcement and more like a blueprint for domestic occupation. Strip away the bureaucratic throat clearing and what you find is blunt language: “homeland defense,” “personnel detailed within ICE and CBP,” “Al Qaeda or ISIS cells operating freely inside America.” The lines are being drawn. The administration is preparing to turn American cities into zones of military containment. Los Angeles, it turns out, was the test run. National Guard and Marines were deployed there under the excuse of protests, and the memo declares it a “good indicator of the type of operations (and resistance) we’re going to be working through for years to come.”

Lula Takes Trump’s Tariffs To World Trade Organization

August 7, 2025 Brasil de Fato, People's Dispatch. Resist! Brazil, Tariffs, Trump Administration, WTO

On Wednesday, August 6, the Brazilian government filed a request for consultation with the World Trade Organization (WTO) against tariffs imposed by the United States on Brazilian products. The decision was made on the same day that the tariff announced by US President Donald Trump came into effect, raising taxes on a series of imports from Brazil to 50%. In a statement, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said that the request is the first step before opening a panel at the WTO – the organization’s judgment tool. The consultation questions the measures and says that the US “flagrantly violates central commitments made by that country at the WTO, such as the most-favored-nation principle and the tariff ceilings negotiated within that organization,” the document says.

American Gulag: Alcatraz And Its Offspring

August 6, 2025 Peter Greenhill, Popular Resistance. Educate! Alligator Alcatraz, Immigrant Rights, Mass Incarceration, Trump Administration

As if we needed more examples of the incompetence and insanity of the current federal regime, along comes their obsession with Alcatraz, in both the nominal and the actual sense. They have been looking at the historic San Francisco Bay island prison, now a museum, with the idea in mind of renovating it and reopening it as an active prison. This foolishness is on the heels of opening a new prison facility in the swamps of Florida that they have christened, with great pleasure, “Alligator Alcatraz.” Both ideas come from the diseased tyrannical minds exercising destructive control over the whole country and assaulting what little remains of morality.

The Green Zone Of Controlled Opposition

August 6, 2025 Anthony Karefa Rogers-Wright, Black Agenda Report. Strategize! Climate Movement, Controlled opposition, Renewable Energy, Trump Administration

In three weeks, many in the Gulf South and across the country will commemorate the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which resulted in over 1,800 deaths and was responsible for over $100 billion in damage (un-adjusted 2005 dollars) . At a time when the climate crisis has only been exacerbated as the global capitalist dictatorship’s insatiable appetite for profit is only matched by its insatiable need to extract resources (including people and their labor), the United States, in particular, continues to move in ways that are antithetical to and completely dismissive of the science that tells us we must rapidly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transform the way we develop, distribute, and make decisions about energy.

How Can Los Angeles Host The 2028 Olympics Now?

August 4, 2025 Joe Mathews, LA Progressive. Resist! Law Enforcement, Los Angeles, Olympics, Trump Administration

This show must not go on. It’s time, right now, for greater Los Angeles to halt all preparations to host the 2028 Summer Olympics. Let’s step away, and turn over these Games to a world city better positioned to host them. Not because we don’t love the Olympics. We are a proud Olympic city, shaped by the 1932 and 1984 Games. In normal times, our incomparable international connections, entertainment assets, and sports facilities would allow us to host what LA28 chair Casey Wasserman calls “the largest peacetime gathering in the history of the world.” But it’s no longer peacetime in Los Angeles.

The Corporation For Public Broadcasting Shutdown

The truth is, from Nixon to Trump, Republicans were actually rather successful in manipulating the CPB to serve their partisan agenda. Back in 2005, when Republican Kenneth Tomlinson was in charge, the New York Times reported that the chairman aggressively pressed “public television to correct what he and other conservatives consider liberal bias.” The chief executive of PBS even accused Tomlinson of threatening “editorial independence.” Peter Hart of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) further noted that an unnamed senior official at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) claimed Tomlinson was “engaged in a systematic effort not just to sanitize the truth, but to impose a right-wing agenda on PBS."

Trump Deploys Nuclear Subs Amid War Of Words With Russia

US President Donald Trump ordered the repositioning of two nuclear submarines on 2 August in response to “highly provocative” comments made by Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council. “I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social Platform on Friday. On Thursday, Medvedev had warned that Trump should be mindful of “how dangerous” Russia's nuclear weapons could be.

Revoking EPA’s Endangerment Finding Isn’t Simple

August 1, 2025 Patrick Parenteau, DeSmog. Resist! climate crisis, EPA, Politics and Policy, Trump Administration

Most of the United States’ major climate regulations are underpinned by one important document: It’s called the endangerment finding, and it concludes that greenhouse gas emissions are a threat to human health and welfare. The Trump administration is trying to eliminate it. Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced on July 29, that the EPA would soon publish a proposed rule to rescind the endangerment finding and allow 45 days for public comment. A draft released by the EPA of the proposal argues that the agency didn’t have the authority to issue the endangerment finding in 2009 or regulations based on it.

The Genius Act And The National Bank Acts Of 1863-64

This month, Congress passed the GENIUS Act, an acronym for the “Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins of 2025.” Designed to regulate stablecoins, a category of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value, the Act is highly controversial. Critics variously argue that it anoints stablecoins as the equivalent of “programmable” central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), that it lacks strong consumer protections, and that government centralization destroys the independence of the cryptocurrency market.

Big Corporations Are Using Trump Trade Chaos To Jack Up Prices

July 30, 2025 Brad Reed, Scheer Post. Educate! Inflation, Tariffs, Trade, Trump Administration

The effects of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs are winding their way through the American economy, and a new piece of analysis claims that corporate America is using them as “cover” to further jack up prices. Progressive advocacy group Groundwork Collaborative issued a new report on Tuesday that uses corporate executives’ own words to show how many firms are taking advantage of the tariff situation by using it as an all-purpose justification for price increases. The report found many of these executives’ admissions through quarterly earnings calls in which they discussed plans to increase costs even if their inputs were not being significantly affected by the tariffs.

Seattle Organizations Unite To Say ‘No!’ To Billionaire Bailout Bill

July 30, 2025 Fight Back! News. Organize! Austerity, Billionaires, Federal budget, Seattle, Trump Administration

Seattle, WA – On July 26, a crowd of over 100 gathered at Seattle Central College for a rally and community action fair organized by the south Seattle-based grassroots organization Seattle Against War (SAW). They were united by the need to stand up against the attacks on the working class and oppressed peoples embodied in Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” – from stripping necessary social services to an unprecedented $170 billion budget increase to ICE and border patrol. The majority of the crowd were concerned Seattleites and new activists looking for ways to get involved, who, through the groups tabling at the event, were able to get directly connected to the struggle and help build organization vital to resisting the constant attacks by the repressive Trump administration.

Trump Targets Latino Migrants: Ideology Over Humanity

July 28, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Latin America, Mass Deportation, Trump Administration, US Sanctions

The importance of Latinos living and working in the US is enormous: if they were in a separate country, it would be the world’s fifth largest economy, bigger than even India. President Trump is recklessly attacking Latino migrants, inflicting calculated cruelty and disregarding the consequences for their home countries. Disastrously, US immigration policy affects the very victims of Washington’s destabilization campaigns in Latin America and Caribbean, which drive people to leave their homelands in the first place. In effect, by exporting chaos, the hegemon paradoxically ends up importing immigrants.

Trump To Open Country’s Largest Immigrant Detention Center

July 25, 2025 Natalia Marques, People's Dispatch. Educate! Detention Center, ICE detention, Immigration, mass deportations, Texas, Trump Administration

The US Department of Defense has awarded a contract worth USD 1.26 billion to the Virginia-based company Acquisition Logistics LLC to build a sprawling short-term ICE detention center in the Fort Bliss army base in El Paso, Texas. The center is set to have a capacity of 5,000 detainees which would make it the largest immigrant detention center in the country. The facility, much like the newly-minted “Alligator Alcatraz”, will be composed entirely of tents and temporary structures, raising the alarm about potential conditions of detention in the scorching dry heat of western Texas.

Confront Or Cave? Federal Pressure Splits Building Trades

July 24, 2025 Natascha Elena Uhlmann and Keith Brower Brown, Labor Notes. Educate! Building Trades, DEI, Trump Administration, Unions, Worker Rights

One of the last nationwide bastions of union jobs is getting jackhammered by the Trump administration. Members are languishing in ICE prisons without trial. Programs that protect members from racism and sexism are getting the axe. In response, building trades officers are split: some are pleading, some are protesting, and others are surrendering without a fight. Out of nine million construction workers in the U.S., one million had a union last year. Since the 1970s, when about forty percent of U.S. hardhats wore union stickers, anti-union developers have kicked unions out from most residential and private building sites.
