Bellingham, Washington. — The Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Workers, who represent the employees at the REI retail outdoor equipment chain, a co-op, asked REI’s 70,000 co-op members and other consumers to vote with their feet and stay away from its stores. The boycott began on May Day after the chain management failed to reach an agreement with the union by the deadline set by the RWDSU. The workers now plan to strike from May 15-25 against the chain, which likes to advertise itself as pro-worker and ecologically friendly. Those dates coincide with REI’s big anniversary sale.

Washington, DC – Inside the Kennedy Center, FIFA President Gianni Infantino was hanging a gold metal around the neck of his “close friend” Donald Trump and giving him a hefty golden peace trophy. “The FIFA Peace Prize is awarded annually,” Infantino said of the new award nobody has ever won before from his supposedly apolitical organization. The pair were at the landmark arts venue for a floor show–like event before officials drew brackets of teams to play this summer’s World Cup tournament, to be held in Canada, Mexico, and the United States. FIFA took over the building for free and displaced scheduled National Symphony Orchestra concerts, according to The Washington Post; it closed down nearby streets for multiple blocks and forced drivers into inconvenient detours.

Seattle, WA – On October 2, Seattleites took to the streets in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla, protesting the humanitarian aid fleet’s illegal interception by Israel the previous day. Nearly 100 activists packed into over 40 cars to form a motor caravan and cruised through some of the busiest streets in downtown Seattle during rush hour, disrupting traffic and unloading afterwards at a rally. The action was timed to coincide with other national and global efforts, like that of the Italian Unione Sindicale di Base (UDB), which enacted a general strike across Italy. The caravan, as well as the rally attended by nearly 600 people, ensured that Seattleites could not ignore the events surrounding the Global Sumud Flotilla despite the U.S.’s repressive media doing its best to keep Americans in the dark.

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.”

Black Lives Matter DC: No Safety Without Self-Determination

Washington, D.C.- Trump’s alleged “takeover” of D.C. is a con. It is not about public safety; it is political theater. It is designed to make people think something new is happening when Black and other marginalized D.C. residents know we already live in the most heavily policed city in the United States. Our city, with a population over 700,000, is patrolled by 32 independent police agencies, eight university departments, and five local agencies that have cooperative agreements with the DC Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) under the Police Coordination Act (PCA). These agencies share the same immunity and powers as MPD when patrolling D.C.

Free DC Models Effective Resistance To Trump’s Takeover

August 14, 2025 Daniel Hunter, Waging Nonviolence. Organize! DC, Martial Law, National Guard, Trump Administration, Washington

On Monday, President Donald Trump ordered 800 National Guard troops to the nation’s capital — a move Princeton University professor Khalil Gibran Muhammad described as “a slide towards fascism” and “textbook” authoritarianism. Claiming emergency powers from the D.C. Home Rule Act, Trump also announced a takeover of the Metropolitan Police. As is typical with authoritarians, the pretense for these orders was an invented crime emergency. But pretense is just that. We should all remember Washington, D.C.’s most violent day in recent years — Jan. 6, 2021 — was sparked by Trump himself. What’s more, D.C.’s safety won’t come from militarization, but rather through decreasing unemployment, ending ICE’s kidnapping of neighbors, and restoring funding to Medicaid, SNAP and schools.

Iran And Its ‘Ring Of Fire’

Resistance to the Imperialist project in the West Asia (Middle East) region has deep historical and cultural roots for the people of the region. It was never exclusive to any religion; it was linked to an Arab identity and civilisation. The modern-day dominance of an Islamic Resistance is a phenomenon that is relatively recent and should not be seen through a sectarian lens, as it remains inclusive of all sects and ideologies. Religion and culture have historically encouraged a path to justice, defence of territorial integrity, regional identity, and human dignity.

Seattle, WA – In the early morning hours of June 10, activists and community members gathered at the courtyard of the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle in solidarity with the rebellion in LA and against deportations.

The rally was organized by the Pierce County Immigration Alliance, Students for a Democratic Society, Freedom Road Socialist Organization and 50501 Washington.

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.

In a legal first, a Washington state woman has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against some of the world’s largest fossil fuel companies, seeking to hold them accountable for the death of her mother during an unprecedented heatwave that scientists say would have been “virtually impossible” without climate change. Misti Leon filed the lawsuit in King County Superior Court against ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66, and BP subsidiary Olympic Pipeline Company. She alleges the companies are liable for the death of her mother, Juliana Leon, who died of hyperthermia after being exposed to extreme heat in June 2021.

Seattle, WA – On Saturday, May 24, Seattle’s LGBTQ community and their allies protested an anti-queer, Christian evangelist rally at the Capitol Hill neighborhood’s Cal Anderson Park. They protested the rally that was called by the group Mayday USA, which aims to classify transgender people as mentally ill and to legally define life as starting at conception. Although the Seattle community outnumbered the reactionaries, the Seattle Police Department (SPD) wasted no time in acting as the reactionaries’ personal armed guard. In total, 16 protesters were arrested by the time the police were walked out of the block by protesters.
