Immigrant Detainees Strike Over $1 A Day Pay, Working ConditionsAt two federal detention centers in California, more than 50 immigrant workers are on strike over unsafe working conditions and low wages. “We are being exploited for our labor and are being paid $1 per day to clean the dormitories,” said strikers at a central California detention center in a June statement received by public radio station KQED. Detained workers, known as “housing porters,” participate in a supposedly volunteer working program while locked up. They use their earnings to pay for the exorbitant cost of phone calls and commissary items like dental floss and tortillas... read more

NPR Distorts History Of US Invasion Of AfghanistanIn the first part of a series of reports on Afghanistan, NPR host Steve Inskeep (Morning Edition, 8/5/22) interviewed current Afghan Defense Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid. In introducing Yaqoob on air, Inskeep referenced Yaqoob’s father, the former head of the Taliban, Mullah Muhammad Omar: “He was the leader who refused to turn over Osama bin Laden in 2001, a refusal that led to the US attack.” In the online version of the article, NPR wrote: “Omar also sheltered Osama bin Laden, and refused to turn over the Al Qaeda leader when the United States demanded him after 9/11.” Thi... read more

Black Angelenos Face ‘Whiplash After Whiplash’ Of Losing Safe HousingThis morning, the Los Angeles City Council got an earful from protestors opposing an expansion of LA Municipal Code ordinance 41.18, the city’s controversial “anti-camping” law that has been maligned by activists for unfairly targeting unhoused people. The law will now include a ban on sitting, laying, or sleeping within 500 feet of schools or daycares. The council voted 11-3 to approve the expansion after a raucous meeting, which was temporarily put into recess when a member of the public climbed over the podium and was handcuffed.

Beneath The Concrete, The ForestIn Atlanta, Georgia, the city government intends to destroy large swaths of what remains of the South River Forest—also known by the Muskogee name for the river, Weelaunee. In place of one stretch of woods, they aim to build a police training compound; they have sold the neighboring part to Blackhall Studios executive Ryan Millsap, who intends to build a giant soundstage. Yet for more than a year now, activists have protected the forest against their plans. In a previous article, we chronicled how this campaign got started and the strategies that have driven it; in the following co... read more

DOJ needs to explain why it raided Trump's homeNational Review: ... The most common defense of the search has been circular: to wit, that the FBI would not have taken a step this dramatic unless it really needed to. But this, of course, will not do. Not only does such an approach accord carte blanche to the government, it rests upon a presumption that has been severely undermined by the developments of the last six years. In 2015, Americans might have been forgiven for assuming that, if the Department of Justice was looking into a president, it must have an excellent reason. But after the Steele dossier, the FISA surveillanc... read more

ESSAY: Women in Prison: How We Are, Assata Shakur, 1978On August 4, 2022, Albert Woodfox of the “Angola Three” passed away at the age of 75.

Woodfox’s story serves as a reminder of the disgusting and unhinged nature of white supremacist settler-colonial states. More specifically, it also points to the history of how the US government, through the FBI’s notorious Counter-Intelligence Program (COINTELPRO), persecuted Black liberation movements. Many Black radicals, along with their Native American a... read more

Washington had decided that the Soviet Union, its wartime ally — the one that had broken the back of the Nazi war machine — now was its peacetime enemy. By 1990, the Soviet Union and most of its socialist allies were collapsing, the result of internal contradictions and outside pressures. The U.S. was promoting the reunification of Germany — a move opposed by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, who still remembered how his countr... read more

"These contracts show the shadowy 'camo economy' at work in Afghanistan," said report author Heidi Peltier, director of programs for the Costs of War Project at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs.
