“As federal agents strapped on their tactical gear and picked up rifles to sweep workplaces, parking lots and streets in Los Angeles, workers and residents mounted what is shaping up into the boldest organized defiance to the Trump administration yet. And when a state labor leader observing the raids got swept up in the brutal immigration crackdown, it sparked nationwide action by labor unions against federal raids, detentions and deportations. When agents showed up at downtown garment factories on Friday and a Home Depot parking lot in the working-class suburb of Paramount on Saturday, everyday people’s anger at the Trump administration’s agents of repression boiled over into confrontation. Protesters hurled their bodies in front of armored vehicles and vans to stop ICE from spiriting away their loved ones and community members. The federal response was swift and asymmetrical.” (06/10/25)

“The Sudanese army has accused the forces of eastern Libyan military commander Khalifa Haftar of attacking Sudanese border posts, the first time it has accused its northwestern neighbour of direct involvement in the country’s civil war, now in its third year. The war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), whom the military also accused of joint involvement in the recent attack, has drawn in multiple countries, while international attempts at bringing about peace have so far failed. Early in the war, Sudan had accused Haftar of supporting the RSF via weapons deliveries. It has long accused Haftar’s ally the United Arab Emirates of supporting the RSF as well, including via direct drone strikes last month. The UAE denies those allegations.” (06/10/25)

“President Trump’s deployment of more than 700 Marines to Los Angeles — following ICE raids and mass protests — has ignited a fierce national debate over state sovereignty and civil-military boundaries.” (06/10/25)

“A federal appellate court issued a stay Tuesday night freezing a lower court’s ruling that had invalidated most of President Trump’s tariffs. The ruling preserves, for now, Trump’s sweeping efforts to reorder international trade, but will also prolong the uncertainty over their impact. The Court of International Trade ruled May 28 that Trump didn’t have the authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose broad reciprocal tariffs, and ordered that the IEEPA levies be lifted. A day later, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued a temporary pause of that ruling while it considered motions to issue a longer-term stay. The appellate court issued that stay Tuesday night, and ordered both sides to prepare for oral arguments on July 31.”

“When, not if, an ICE thug finishes his or her shift in a body bag instead of over beer and sportsball, we’ll never hear the end of it. Personally, I’d rather it didn’t come to that. … The better answer to the occupation of LA is to greet it with institutional boycotts and individual ostracism. The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power should cut off all services to facilities used by the occupation forces. Make them truck in their own water and generators if they insist on staying. Local institutions should refuse service to those affiliated with the occupation forces. ‘No, that bottle of water / cheeseburger / latte isn’t for sale … at least not to you.’ ‘No, you can’t use the restroom.’ ‘No, this church does not serve communion to those in an unrepentant state of mortal sin.’ ‘We reserve the right to refuse service.’ ‘Out. Now.'” (06/10/25)

“Argentina’s Supreme Court has upheld a six-year prison sentence on corruption charges for former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner. The ruling on Tuesday, which permanently bars the divisive 72-year-old from public office and makes her subject to arrest, prompted crowds of her supporters to block the streets of Buenos Aires in protest. The left-wing former president denounced the ruling, claiming the court’s judges were acting in the service of the economically powerful. … Fernandez de Kirchner, who succeeded her husband Nestor Kirchner as president in 2007 and remained in power until 2015, had been found guilty by a federal court in 2022 of having directed irregular state public works contracts to a friend during her and her husband’s years in power.” (06/11/25)

“Last night, the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) held a special meeting where they voted to release a 94 page report from the Special Investigatory Committee established after I revealed the former Chair had concealed payments to a Delaware company incorporated by her domestic partner. In addition to the report from the Special Investigatory Committee, the LNC passed a resolution calling McArdle unfit to represent the Libertarian Party (LP). … McArdle also used her position as Chair to raise money for another organization she co-founded, Rescue the West, which promoted the Presidential campaigns of Donald Trump and RFK Jr, while the Libertarian Party had its own nominee, Chase Oliver. … We do not know how much of the money, if any, from the Kennedy organization donations to Rescue the West made it to McArdle or Padgett personally.” (06/10/25)

“The leaders of a US sex-focused women’s wellness company that promoted ‘orgasmic meditation’ have been convicted of federal forced labor charges. A Brooklyn jury on Monday found Nicole Daedone, founder of OneTaste Inc., and Rachel Cherwitz, the California-based company’s former sales director, guilty after deliberating for less than two days following a five-week trial. The two each face up to 20 years in prison, with sentencing due later. Prosecutors argued the two women ran a years-long scheme that groomed adherents –many of them victims of sexual trauma – to do their bidding. They said Daedone, 57, and Cherwitz, 44, used economic, sexual and psychological abuse, intimidation and indoctrination to force OneTaste members into sexual acts they found uncomfortable or repulsive, such as having sex with prospective investors or clients.” (06/10/25)
