BREAKING: Today on Tax Day, immigrant rights orgs, pro-Palestine & anti-war orgs, workers, and students are in New Brunswick NJ, launching a campaign to get the state to divest from Palantir. They're connecting wars abroad to the domestic war on immigrants, and Palantir's role in state violence.

My latest for Truthout. Along with reporting on the uptick in troops leaving the military under Trump's administration, I wrote about the longer history of wars abroad forcing troops to think about their role in carrying out state violence.

It’s all people who don’t want to take part in killing in a war that they don’t believe in, and this war has made them realize that they can’t take part in any kind of military action again.

"By the end of the [Vietnam W]ar, opposition within the [US] military's own ranks was so widespread that ... the military was recording hundreds of cases of troops throwing grenades at their officers, a practice known as fragging."

Organizations that provide counseling services for troops are reporting growing numbers of calls. “It’s all people who don’t want to take part in killing in a war that they don’t believe in, and this war has made them realize that they can’t take part in any kind of U.S. military action ever again.”

Over the summer of 2025, four CUNY adjuncts were fired from Brooklyn College as a result of their activism for Palestine: a serious attack on the Palestine movement, academic freedom, and worker rights. But CUNY students and workers did not let the attacks stand. www.leftvoice.org/down-with-po...

Today I published a piece on why it's important to keep following Trump's foreign policy in Latin America and the Caribbean. saminthecan.substack.com/p/with-all-e...

An actual full time labor reporter job in the wild-- this is a great job if you're in the Northwest, very legit publication. nwlaborpress.org/now-hiring/

My latest article covers why, even as war spirals in the Middle East, Latin America remains a key region for understanding Trump’s foreign policy and the resistance it’s fueling: saminthecan.substack.com/p/with-all-e...

Did you know? *The U.S. Navy is operating in Panama’s waters for the first time in 50 years. *U.S. and Ecuador forces bombed a dairy farm and villages in the Amazon. *Massive protests against U.S. intervention and the Far Right have occurred in Peru, Panama, Bolivia, and Argentina, to name a few.

A great and much-needed report! The U.S. military build-up in Ecuador (and I'd add Panama) aren't getting nearly the attention they deserve.

I'm a journalist and lifelong resident of the town this piece is about. I'm also an anti-Zionist Jew. There's good stuff in this article, but it leaves out so much of the harassment, doxxing, and threats of violence that SOMA's pro-Palestine community has faced.

From the unprovoked war on Iran to the war on immigrants at home, Trump’s policies are driving millions of people into the streets across the world. #NoKings round-up and analysis by @jamesdennishoff.bsky.social & @saminthecan.bsky.social www.leftvoice.org/biggest-no-k...

Y'know what, I'm still with it "War don't sex" that's right brother, peace fucks

Today Left Voice had corespondents at #NoKings in NYC, LA, Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago, Boston, and more. In all of these cities it was clear that people are more energized than ever to resist ICE, and outrage is growing against the war on Iran🧵

And from the tiny-town end of the spectrum, people in the little pueblo of Rio Piedras, Costa Rica, gathered on #NoKingsDay to speak out against US Imperialism and Cruelty.

Today we launched an investigation with @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social on Trump's declaration of a "national emergency" and what that means for border communities a year into the declaration. More than 40% of the U.S.-Mexico border is now under military control.

Trump’s war on immigrants is an expression of a system that's long treated millions as a permanent underclass. The movement against ICE must go on the offensive, which means putting the fight for full rights for immigrants at the center of the struggle. www.leftvoice.org/abolish-ice-...

The United States and Israel have launched a “massive campaign” against Iran, calling for the overthrow of the government and targeting civilian sites. These imperialist attacks must be met with the strongest repudiation in the streets by the working class and young people.

Today Argentina's senate is set to roll back 100 years of the country's labor rights. But this has awakened a powerful fightback from the country's workers. My latest for @dropsitenews.com: www.dropsitenews.com/p/argentina-...

“Argentina today is a laboratory for a project that is not only economic but also social and cultural. In this case it aims to dismantle 100 years of labor rights in Argentina.”

More and more people support the demand to abolish ICE. It's essential we don't allow the Democrats to co-opt our demands again. www.counterpunch.org/2026/02/23/d...

I've started a new series for paying members, new commentary for episodes that have aged particularly well (for good or ill) and the first is up on Patreon today! This was a great show with Renee Johnston, before her Saturdays with Renee fame. It's aged too well. www.patreon.com/posts/eclect...

This is somewhere between 40-50% of deployable US air power (and it’s still growing). On a scale with the Gulf Wars.

Workers, youth, and retirees in Argentina paralyzed the country in a national strike against the Milei government’s reactionary labor law reforms. Although the measure has passed both houses of Congress, the fight isn’t over.

Trump’s “border czar” Tom Homan has announced the end of Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis. As the fight against the administration’s anti-immigrant offensive continues, here are four lessons we can draw from the experience.

"Argentine Senate passed President Javier Milei's labor reform bill." "The passage of the bill came amid fierce protests by workers, labor unions, and anti-capitalist parties." "Police used water cannons and rubber bullets against protesters." #Argentina #Protest #Labour #Policing #Voting

SCOOP: A repurposed Navy contract to funnel tens of billions to ICE for a nationwide "ghost network” of concentration camps—just got a lot bigger. migrantinsider.com/p/how-the-pe...

Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

President Trump has set his sights on Cuba and is escalating economic and political pressure on the island. We must show our full solidarity with the Cuban people — against the blockade, the oil embargo, and Trump’s imperialist offensive.
