WORD DROP FROM TRUMP: ‘REMIGRATION’
[[link removed]]

By Christopher Mathias
HuffPost

Last weekend, former President Donald Trump posted another
anti-immigrant screed to Truth Social. It would have been unremarkable
― at least, graded on the Trumpian curve of extreme xenophobia ―
except for one word. Many people might have glossed over his use of
“remigration.” White nationalists did not.

SCAPEGOATING HAITIANS

By Ayendy Bonifacio
NACLA Report

Old racist tropes demonizing Haitians as uncivilized practitioners of
barbaric or mysterious rituals have been revived, once again casting
immigrants from Haiti as dangerous outsiders unworthy of protection or
empathy.

REGISTERING VOTERS IN COACHELLA VALLEY

By Maggie Miles

The Courageous Resistance of the Desert is a local grassroots activist
group formed in 2016 that focuses on social justice, human rights, and
civic engagement initiatives like voter registration drives throughout
the Coachella Valley. Through partnerships with local businesses like
the Mary Pickford Theater, the group has registered more than 1,500
voters in Riverside County over the past six years.

INCLUSION, EXCLUSION AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS
[[link removed]]

By Colin Greer and Eric Laursen
CounterPunch

Malignant social movements aim to overthrow a political order
built—at least notionally—on principles of inclusion and goodwill,
which the movement blames for its followers’ loss of status within
their societies. This takeover is seemingly inexorable, due to the
failure of parties of the center and left to offer coherent
alternatives—resulting in steady normalization of extreme positions.

AKWESASNE MOHAWKS STAND UP TO NYS

By Brandi Morin

Today, Akwesasne elected governments in two provinces and one state
negotiate with two federal, two provincial and one state government
over harvesting rights, consultation and, of course, land claims. And
in 1958, it was the elected Akwesasne tribal governments that filed a
land claim against the State of New York, arguing the signatories to
the Treaty of Paris did not represent them.

“FREE HOSTAGES” POSTER WAR
[[link removed]]

By Solomon Brager
Jewish Currents

In the streets of New York, a few posters in particular recur: most
feature young children, some depict elderly people, almost all of
them Israeli citizens. I am later surprised to discover that there
are posters available to print for more than 200 of those held as
hostages. The poster seems designed to galvanize the public in
support of the US’s unqualified funding for Israeli military
action.

FRANKIE BEVERLY AND THE MEANING OF BLACK MUSIC

By Mark Anthony Neal

Virtually unknown to White audiences, even in the years after
Beyonce’s cover of their signature “Before I Let Go,” Maze
featuring Frankie Beverly was the closest thing that Black America had
to the Grateful Dead. The band may not have been the most accomplished
or even the most popular R&B band, but make no mistake, they are Black
America’s band.

ELECTION: KEY STATES FOR ABORTION RIGHTS

By Giovanna DeStefanis
Feminist Majority Foundation

Since the Dobbs decision, voters in 6 states, California, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Vermont, and Ohio, have weighed in on
constitutional amendments regarding abortion, and the side favoring
access prevailed in every state. In 2024, abortion measures are on the
ballot in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Maryland, Missouri, Montana,
Nebraska, New York, Nevada, and South Dakota. 

TRUMP’S ANTI-SEMITISM: NO MORE DOG WHISTLES
[[link removed]]

By Matthew Rozsa
Salon

Donald Trump made antisemitic comments at a pair of Jewish-hosted
events on Thursday. One might expect this to hurt his chances among
Republican Jews, yet as historians explained to Salon, partisan
loyalties may very well trump self-preservation among a substantial
set of Jewish voters.

LABOR AND THE ELECTION

By Mark Gruenberg and Cameron Harrison
People’s World

The AFL-CIO prepared for this year’s election for months,
identifying the top unions in every congressional district in the
country to get them to mobilize members “and make sure people are
being reached” with political issue messages, the labor
federation’s president Liz Shuler says. She said the federation
will send tens of thousands of volunteers, plus paid staffers, into
the field prior to the voting.
