2,000 Troops Withdraw From Los Angeles; Fuera ICE!

July 19, 2025 Julia Wallace, Left Voice. Resist! ICE, Los Angeles, Trump Administration, US military

At the end of May, the Trump administration began increasing its attacks on the immigrant community and the working class of Los Angeles. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeted schools and places of work for precarious workers like Home Depot and the garment district. In response to the attacks, including the arrest of union members like SEIU union president David Huerta, community members organized protests and mobilizations. Combative street confrontations have taken place against ICE, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), and sheriffs. And President Trump deployed thousands of National Guard troops who assisted ICE and local law enforcement in brutalizing the community.

Calls To GI Hotlines Rise As Service Members Consider Defying Orders

July 5, 2025 Elizabeth Weill-Greenberg, Truthout. Resist! Donald Trump, GI Resistance, US military, Wars and Militarism

As the country tumbles towards fascism, some members of the U.S. military have struggled with a choice: defy illegal orders, or participate in the dismantling of American democracy. In June, over the objections of local leaders, including Gov. Gavin Newsom, President Donald Trump called up the National Guard and the U.S. Marines to quell protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids. That month, calls to the GI Rights Hotline spiked. The hotline provides information on military discharges and related issues; all calls are confidential. The hotline, which is jointly administered by a large consortium of nonprofit organizations, connects callers with both paid resource counselors and experienced volunteers.

How Structural Racism Fuels America’s Endless Wars

June 29, 2025 Sharon Kyle, LA Progressive. Educate! Class Struggle, Economic draft, History, Structural Racism, US military, Wars and Militarism

From the very inception of the United States, a privileged elite has engineered laws, institutions, and cultural narratives to preserve its dominance—initially through racialized land seizures and redistribution, the brutal system of chattel slavery, and exclusionary immigration policies; later through Jim Crow segregation; and today through more insidious mechanisms like militarized borders, discriminatory policing, mass incarceration, exploitative labor practices, and the weaponization of poverty. At the core lies structural white supremacy—an evolving, interlocking system of racial and class oppression that resists democracy, adapts with time, and refuses to cede power.

On June 7, 2025, the Trump administration overstepped the state government and federalized the national guard in California. They were deployed to Los Angeles to suppress protests against the rampant raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. In an unprecedented move, the administration also ordered marines to Los Angeles to join the guard. Clearing the FOG speaks with attorney James Branum of the Military Law Task Force, a branch of the National Lawyers Guild, about the history and legality of domestic troop deployments, the dangers of escalation and violations of civil rights, and what rights members of the military have to refuse to participate. Branum outlines the resources available to military members who want more information or need legal support.

For Trump’s Birthday Military Parade, Veterans: ‘Military Off Our Streets’

June 14, 2025 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Resist! DC, Donald Trump, US military, Veterans, Washington

Having served 29 years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserves and retiring as a Colonel, I am ashamed that the 250th birthday of the institution I was in for almost 3 decades has been politicized by President Donald Trump for his birthday celebration. The idea of a big military parade was quashed by military leadership in Trump’s first term. But Trump’s appointment of Pete Hegseth, his chief interviewer on FOX News and extremely unqualified person as Secretary of Defense, has insured there are no objections to Trump’s wild decisions on how to use the U.S. military as his personal plaything, his toy, to include now ordering a parade in his honor, no matter how the $3 billion Pentagon public relations team tries to portray it as a celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States Army.

Trump Sets Military Against Civilians; Service Members Have Duty To Disobey

Four and a half months after his inauguration, Donald Trump is exercising his authoritarian chops, targeting immigrants in the state he most despises — California. Making good on Trump’s nativist pledge to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security started conducting widespread raids outside workplaces in Los Angeles. They began on June 6, with no prior notification to the California governor, L.A. mayor or local law enforcement.

Radar Plans May Allow United States To Dominate Space From Wales

June 4, 2025 David Grundy, BBC News. Resist! Golden Dome, Radar System, Space, United Kingdom (UK), US military, Wales

Plans to build a space radar station could allow US President Donald Trump to dominate space from Wales, campaigners have said. More than 15,000 people have signed an online petition opposing Ministry of Defence (MoD) plans to build 27 radar dishes at Cawdor Barracks in Brawdy, Pembrokeshire. Jim Scott, a spokesman for the People Against Radar Campaign (PARC), said "provoking China" by supporting US military aims "where there is no rational imperative to do so" would be a bad idea. The UK government said Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability (DARC) was vital to track objects in deep space and protect satellite and communication and navigation networks.

Pentagon Using Fabricated Chinese Threat To Build GE Soldiers

May 15, 2025 Kit Klraenberg, MintPress News. Educate! China, Genetic Engineering, Technology, US military

On April 8, a bipartisan commission chartered by Congress warned that China is rapidly advancing a terrifying new military threat: genetically engineered “super soldiers.” The report by the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) urges the U.S. to respond with a sweeping effort to militarize biotechnology. It offers little concrete evidence that such Chinese programs even exist. In the name of national security, Washington is now pushing for deregulation, massive government investment, and human experimentation. Experts say this effort echoes Cold War-era paranoia and threatens to erode ethical boundaries in science and warfare.

The Coming Purge Of Trans Troops In Context Of Broader LGBTQ Struggle

May 10, 2025 Mike Prysner, Counter Punch. Educate! LGBTQ Rights, Trump Administration, US military

Trump and Hegseth have a two-pronged agenda for the US military: the first is its use as a domestic police and repression force, which I wrote about in January. The second is to Make the Military Warfighters Again–based on the ultra-online belief that the ranks have become a liberal bastion catering to unqualified slobs and woke indoctrination. The belief they must be transformed into a singular VetBro archetype, a military that will look really badass on Instagram–most importantly, no posts by soldiers that Libs of TikTok could share. (They think there’s too many women, too).

Rally Against Army’s Environmental Impact Statement For Pohakuloa

May 9, 2025 Marti Townsend, Popular Resistance. Resist! Environment, Hawaii, US military

Honolulu, HI – This Friday, May 9, at 8:00 AM, community members, cultural practitioners, and environmental advocates from across the paeʻāina will gather outside the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) ahead of the 9:00 am Board meeting at the Kalanimoku Building (1151 Punchbowl St., Honolulu) to demand the rejection of the U.S. Army’s Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Pōhakuloa Training Area (PTA). The Army’s proposed retention of 23,000 acres of public, “ceded” lands on Hawaiʻi Island has generated widespread opposition. Community advocates say the FEIS is inadequate, failing to address decades of documented environmental destruction, cultural desecration, and health risks associated with military use—including the confirmed presence of depleted uranium, over 1,000 wildfires, and unremediated contamination.

Pentagon Orders USS Truman To Remain In Red Sea

May 4, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Red Sea, US military, Wars and Militarism, Yemen

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on 2 May ordered the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier to remain in West Asia for another week, marking the second time its deployment has been extended amid ongoing military operations against Yemen. The move maintains the presence of two US aircraft carrier strike groups in the region—an uncommon occurrence in recent years—underscoring Washington’s commitment to end Yemeni attacks on Israeli-linked ships transiting the Red Sea. The Ansarallah-led Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) began attacking Israeli-linked ships starting in November 2023 in response to Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

April 20, 2025 Colonel (Ret) Ann Wright, Popular Resistance. Resist! Encampment, Nuclear Weapons, United Kingdom (UK), US military

In anticipation of U.S. nuclear weapons returning to U.K. soil after their removal 18 years ago, activists from around the world are gathering at the Lakenheath Peace Camp from April 14-25, 2025 with a 24 hour a day, 7 days a week vigil at the main entrance of RAF Lakenheath. Organized by Lakenheath Alliance for Peace and a coalition of many groups, the 11 day encampment with specific events each day will culminate in a peace conference on April 24, 2025 and a blockade of the air base on April 25, 2025. The peace conference is titled “Analysing and Resisting US Nuclear Expansion” and will feature well-known speakers who will focus on topics from global militarism to the arms trade, with a detailed focus on the dangers of nuclear weapons.
