From war crimes and genocide abroad to moral, constitutional, and debt crises at home

Why Congress must reject the NDAA’s U.S.-Israel military and intelligence merger by Dennis Kucinich [excerpts] https://scheerpost.com/2026/06/30/war-crimes-war-powers-and-american-sovereignty-the-usa-israel-the-department-of-forever-war/ [Despite] the horrific high- and low-tech butchery of Palestinians and Lebanese by Israeli ethno-nationalist killers, this week there will be an effort in Congress to merge or integrate the military of Israel and the US at the most advanced levels. Section 219 (formerly Section 224) of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), provides for an [...]

NATIONAL MOBILIZATION AGAINST GENOCIDES

July 4, 2026 - Atlanta Georgia Today's reading of the US Declaration of Independence leaves little to celebrate. The forefathers of the USA called to dissolve the political bonds that connected their new colonies to the British empire. However, the masses of people living here, created equal in the eyes of God/Allah/the Great Spirit, were in no way treated equally or free by those who proclaimed this land to be the “United [...]

Beware Pro-Israel Lobby’s 2026 CA Agenda

by Marcy Winograd, Jewish Voice for Peace, CTA Caucus Jewish and Allied Educators for Palestine Almost overnight, the CA Jewish Public Affairs Committee (JPAC) changed its name to “Jewish California” [see: https://www.jewishcal.org/], a re-branding likely aimed at distancing JPAC’s image from that of AIPAC, a rhyming acronym for the toxic American Israel Public Affairs Committee. The re-branding of JPAC followed a 2025 interview [see: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DP0JTBhDRgh/] in which podcaster Van Latham asked California [...]

Welcome to the 2nd Quarter of the 21st Century!

by Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action Los Angeles (ARA-LA/PART) A "year in review" summary, as has been traditional in the January issue of Change Links annually, would recapitulate the horrors of the first year of Trump II, with which we are all too achingly familiar. I am instead going to take a longer view, and look back over the past quarter-century to see what got us into this deepening political, moral, economic and [...]

Which Way KPFK & Pacifica?

By Michael Novick, Anti-Racist Action LA A palace coup has taken place at KPFK and Pacifica -- a takeover by insiders known as "New Day Pacifica", who have disempowered listener and staff members and their elected delegates. The consequences for programming, and for the future of the listener-sponsored community-oriented radio station and network, are dire. Last November, KPFK eliminated its locally-produced environmental programming, including indigenous environmental voices, just before the worst environmental [...]

Will Trump’s 20 point Peace Plan for Gaza Fail?

A 21st step, regarding Israeli settlements [...]

Gaza Reconstruction is a Business Plan, Not a Peace Plan

by Sandra Tamari, Adalah Justice Project Last night, Israel killed more than 100 Palestinians, including at least 46 children, as it renewed its bombardment of Gaza. The attacks came after Netanyahu announced he ordered the Israeli military to “carry out forceful strikes in the Gaza Strip” on Tuesday, breaking the precarious ceasefire negotiated by the Trump administration. This escalation demonstrates what we have known all along – Israel has no intention of [...]

The World Confronts the Genocide Washington is Trying to Bury

by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas J. S. Davies On October 4th, 2025, in an interview with Axios, President Trump stressed that one of the main goals behind his Gaza plan was to restore Israel’s international standing. “Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world,” Trump said. “Now I am gonna get all that support back.” Under Trump’s plan, a supposed ceasefire took effect on October [...]
