Filipinos In Chicago Demand Release Of Chantal Anicoche - PopularResistance.Org
Chicago, IL – On January 8, Filipinos and allies gathered in front of the Consulate General of the Philippines to demand the release of Filipino American activist, Chantal Anicoche, and an end to the bombing of Mindoro. On New Year's Day, the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) conducted brutal raids and aerial bombings on indigenous Mangyan-Iraya villages, killing three children and displacing nearly 200 families. This style of military terror, backed by the United States, is a tool by big real estate and natural resource companies for land grabbing.
Movement Against ICE Grows In The United States - PopularResistance.Org
Protests against Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) are escalating across the United States. Mobilizations are calling for the arrest of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent identified as Renee Macklin Good’s killer, and the abolition of ICE altogether. Tens of thousands of people rallied in Minneapolis on Saturday, January 10, in the largest demonstration yet since Good’s killing. On Friday, January 9, hundreds of protesters descended on the Hilton hotel in Minneapolis where they believe ICE and federal agents are staying. Using everything from cymbals, noisemakers, and drums to pots and pans (and even fireworks), waves of noise reverberated for several blocks and continued through the entire night.
China, The American Pole, And The Battle For Latin America - PopularResistance.Org
The following article from Weaponized Information, published in late December 2025, frames the current period as a pivotal moment for Latin America and the Caribbean, with competing visions of how the region fits into broader geopolitical shifts. “Within weeks of each other, two texts appeared that quietly announced Latin America and the Caribbean as a decisive front in the struggle over the next world order. China released its third Policy Paper on Latin America and the Caribbean, framing the present as a moment of ‘changes unseen in a century’, with the Global South rising in influence while unilateral coercion destabilises peace and development. At nearly the same time, the Trump administration issued its National Security Strategy, declaring that American power had been ‘restored’, borders militarised, tariffs weaponised, and the Western Hemisphere re-centred as a strategic priority under an unapologetic America First doctrine. These are not parallel statements. They are opposing blueprints.”
Why I Am On Hunger Strike In Solidarity With Pal Action Detainees - PopularResistance.Org
I know this road. I have its map etched into my bones. I carry scars that won’t heal without justice, without accountability. I learned it in Guantanamo, when the only thing I could control was my own body. We were disappeared. Isolated. Forced into silence. Our words were redacted. Our letters were stamped secret. Lawyers were blocked. Time stretched and rotted. No court dates were given. No real charges were made. I was reduced to a number in an orange uniform, locked in a metal cage. The US government had already named me. “The worst of the worst.” “Terrorist.” “Enemy combatant.” Labels designed to make torture sound necessary.
Support Political Prisoners President Nicolas Maduro, First Lady Cilia Flores - PopularResistance.Org
In the spirit of answering the call of the Venezuelan people, we want to: Mobilize a regular physical presence in front of the Metro Detention Center Brooklyn, where President Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores are being held. Encourage national and international support through letter writing campaigns, calls for local resolutions and more. Call for a national mobilization closer to President Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores' trial date (tentatively set for March 17, 2026).
Trump's Oil War Backfires - PopularResistance.Org
It is a monumental act of war. After being kidnapped and flown to the United States, President Nicolás Maduro has pled not guilty to spurious drugs charges in New York – even as U.S. government documents admit that Venezuela is not a major drugs producer, and prosecutors concede that Maduro’s supposed Cartel of the Suns never existed. Moreover, Trump’s star key witness, former Venezuelan Gen. Hugo “El Pollo” Carvajal, is a deeply compromised figure. Once a senior official in military intelligence, Carvajal has long been frozen out of power in Venezuela, and became a vocal supporter of U.S.-backed, self-proclaimed president, Juan Guaidó.
Can General Strikes, Mass Strikes, And People Power Uprisings Provide A Defense Against Tyranny? - PopularResistance.Org
Jeremy Brecher’s report on social strikes is a timely contribution to the urgent conversations we must be
having in the movement regarding the probability that, to defeat MAGA authoritarianism, we will need these
kinds of mass actions that exert power through withdrawing cooperation and creating major disruptions.
Brecher draws from international experience and US history, and helpfully discusses laying groundwork,
goals, tactics, organization, timelines, and endgames of such mass actions. There is no doubt that, as MAGA’s authoritarianism and military invasions accelerate, we need a strategy to
push back.
Oil Executives Rebuff Trump's Demands For Investment In Venezuela - PopularResistance.Org
At a meeting at the White House on 9 January, the CEOs of major US energy firms expressed skepticism about participating in President Donald Trump’s scheme to invest $100 billion to “revive” Venezuela’s sanctions-battered oil sector. The meeting took place one week after US Special Forces abducted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife and transferred them to New York to stand trial on trumped-up “narco-terrorism” charges. After abducting Maduro, Trump said the US would “take over” Venezuela’s oil reserves, which are considered the largest in the world.
How To Challenge Wage Garnishment For Defaulted Student Loans - PopularResistance.Org
For the first time since the onset of COVID-19, the Trump administration is set to garnish U.S. workers’ wages for defaulted student loans. The Department of Education has announced that beginning this week it will send at least 1,000 borrowers a notice of intent to garnish wages, sending additional notices every month as it expands its efforts to forcibly collect money from millions of borrowers in default. This is a cruel, harsh policy that the Trump administration does not have to implement — and it shouldn’t.
The West Bank Is Being Pushed Into A New Nakba - PopularResistance.Org
Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people has never been confined to Gaza alone. Nowhere is this more evident than in the shattered, bomb-scarred, ghostlike refugee camps of Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarm, destroyed and emptied by Israel as a stark warning to Palestinians of the consequences of resisting occupation and genocide. This decades-long settler colonial project in Palestine has multiple planes of erasure. While the world has, albeit through a distorted lens, focused on the catastrophe wrought upon Gaza, Israel has ensured that its plans for Palestinian elimination proceed apace in the West Bank.
