FBI cuts ties with Anti-Defamation League amid conservative backlash
FBI Director Kash Patel made the announcement on Wednesday after prominent conservative influencers, including Elon Musk, pounced on the ADL’s inclusion of the murdered right-wing activist Charlie Kirk in its “Glossary of Extremism and Hate”. In a brief statement, Patel singled out the ADL’s associations with former FBI Director James Comey, a strident critic of President Donald Trump who was indicted last week on charges of obstruction and lying to the US Congress. Patel said Comey had written “love letters” to the ADL and embedded agents within the group, which he accused of running “disgraceful ops spying on Americans”. “This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs,” Patel said in a social media post.

Trump making plans to send billions in cash bailouts to farmers with taxpayer money
USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation fund — which President Donald Trump previously tapped to provide $28 billion in farm aid during his first-term trade war with China — has just $4 billion left in the account. Trump officials, including those at the Treasury Department, are looking at how to tap tariff receipts or other funding to supplement the payments without triggering a messy fight in Congress.

US memo to colleges proposes terms on ideology, foreign enrollment for federal funds
The memo said foreign students should be supportive of "American and Western values" and urged colleges "to screen out students who demonstrate hostility to the United States, its allies, or its values." It also says universities should share all known information about foreign students, including discipline records, upon request with the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department.

US citizen sues after twice being detained by immigration agents
The class-action lawsuit, filed on Tuesday by Leo Garcia Venegas, a concrete worker, demands an end to what the firm calls “unconstitutional and illegal immigration enforcement tactics”. Venegas, who was born in the US, lives and works in Baldwin county, Alabama, a Gulf coast area between the cities of Mobile and Pensacola, Florida, that has seen immense population growth in the last 15 years, and which offers plenty of construction work.

US judge rejects Abrego Garcia’s asylum bid after wrongful deportation
Hill Republicans have been pushing Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and other Trump officials for weeks to do something to aid farmers reeling from high input costs and the president’s tariffs, which have cut off American soybean farmers’ key markets in China as Beijing retaliates. Trump has said he would use tariff revenue to provide cash bailouts to farmers, but Congress would likely need to vote to authorize such a move, triggering a major fight between Republicans and Democrats amid already dire government spending conversations.

Bari Weiss, Who Thinks Everything Is Woke, Will Be CBS Editor-in-Chief
Weiss’s The Free Press notably recently made headlines for a repugnant, cruel attempt at a “gotcha” article claiming that viral images of gaunt, malnourished Palestinian children in Gaza should actually be disregarded as pro-Hamas propaganda because the children pictured already had pre-existing conditions like cerebral palsy—as if that in any way explained their starvation. If anything, as most people pointed out, Israel’s genocide only exacerbated their health conditions.

‘Surreal Moment for America’: ICE Agents in Chicago Drag Children Out of Their Homes, Ransack Building​
Just hours after President Donald Trump said US soldiers should use Americans cities as “training grounds,” federal law enforcement officials on Tuesday night descended upon an apartment complex in Chicago where witnesses say they broke down residents’ doors, smashed furniture and belongings, and dragged dozens of them, including children, placed in U-Haul vans.

LA 2028 Olympics: fears of mass displacement and homeless sweeps as Trump threat looms
Karen Bass, Los Angeles’s Democratic mayor, has vowed not to bus unhoused people out of the city and repeat the tactics of 1984, telling the Los Angeles Times her strategy will “always be housing people first”. But the scale of the problem in LA is larger than it was four decades ago, and the Trump administration’s forceful stance on homelessness could increase pressures on Bass and the unhoused population.

1. Thank you NA3.0
2. USB are the legit ones. CGIL are a bunch of sellouts and parasites. They are now trying to co-opt the movement after they've seen the success of the strike on the 22nd of September. Just to give you some context, CGIL's official news website didn't even talk about it for the entire day. They had called a relatively small strike only in a few industries and not for anything related to Palestine the week before and that went completely unnoticed. Their secretary general - one of the most moronic individuals to have ever been a union leader - was touring the country to promote his autobiographical book which, btw, he released with a rather large publishing house, not the one his union owns - and which is deeply in dept. I suspect they did it deliberately to try and sabotage the one coming on the 22nd. Obviously, they failed spectacularly.
Technically speaking, the strike has been called by another union called SI-COBAS. There's some legal gobledygook about that. So, actually it's all something coming from grassroots, independent organisations - both unions and a bunch of small parties, groups and whatever - and not a crony, compromised clusterfuck such as CGIL.

The Forgotten Holocaust: 60 Years Since The Massacre of Indonesian Communists
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the Indonesian massacres of 1965–66 — one of the greatest crimes of the 20th century, carried out under the banner of anti-communism. More than a million communists, workers, peasants, intellectuals, and their families were butchered, while countless others were jailed, tortured, or disappeared. This was no “local tragedy.” It was a calculated counter-revolution engineered by U.S. and British imperialism, executed by their Indonesian puppets, and designed to break the spine of one of the world’s most powerful communist movements outside of China and the Soviet Union. Six decades on, we must refuse silence. We must call the massacre by its true name: a holocaust of the Indonesian left, carried out in the service of imperialist domination. When ruling classes speak of “genocide” and “human rights,” they selectively highlight some atrocities while burying others. The Nazi Holocaust and the Armenian genocide are well remembered - and rightly so - but the annihilation of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) (1) is systematically erased from official history. Why? Because the bloodbath of 1965–66 was a victory for global capitalism. It was a triumph for Washington, London, and the imperialist corporations that sought to plunder Indonesia’s vast resources.

The great betrayal: Why Arab and Muslim rulers backed Trump's Gaza plan
Arab and Muslim leaders can claim to have been duped into giving their backing to the plan unveiled by US President Donald Trump on Monday. The plan announced in Washington was substantially different to the one they agreed to in New York. But that is the charitable way of reading what they have done. Betrayal is another word that comes to mind. A betrayal performed as a genocide is in full motion and which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been given a green light by Trump to continue. The Qataris are furious they were written out of a mediation role and that Trump refused to delay the announcement. The Egyptians, too, are furious that the role of the Palestinian Authority (PA) has been downgraded and that Israeli forces will always remain in Rafah and along the border with Sinai. But the names of each country are still on the statement welcoming the plan and neither have said or done anything to withdraw from it. Either way, each of the eight regional nations that backed this agreement is serving the people of Gaza a bitter and bleak reward for two years of enduring the worst military onslaught in the history of this conflict. For them, there is to be no light at the end of the tunnel. Only a different form of occupation and a different form of siege. Just at that point in history when world opinion has definitively turned against Israel and just as more countries than ever before have recognised the Palestinian state, Arab and Muslim leaders have signed up to a plan that ensures that a viable state can never emerge from the rubble of Israel’s vengeance. The regional states can claim they stopped the mass ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the Israeli occupation, and brought the UN agencies back into Gaza. But the keys to each remain in Netanyahu’s hands.

Tyranny of structurelessness - Jo Freeman
Contrary to what we would like to believe, there is no such thing as a 'structureless' group. Any group 'of people of whatever nature coming together for any length of time, for any purpose, will inevitably structure itself in some fashion. The structure may be flexible, it may vary over time, it may evenly or unevenly distribute tasks, power and resources over the members of the group. But it will be formed regardless of the abilities, personalities and intentions of the people involved. The very fact that we are individuals with different talents, predispositions and backgrounds makes this inevitable. Only if we refused to relate or interact on any basis whatsoever could we approximate 'structurelessness' and that is not the nature of a human group. This means that to strive for a 'structureless' group is as useful and as deceptive, as to aim at an 'objective' news story, 'value-free' social science or a 'free' economy. A 'laissez-faire' group is about as realistic as a 'laissez-faire' society; the idea becomes a smokescreen for the strong or the lucky to establish unquestioned hegemony over others. This hegemony can easily be established because the idea of 'structurelessness' does not prevent the formation of informal structures, but only formal ones. Similarly, 'laissez-faire' philosophy did not prevent the economically powerful from establishing control over wages, prices and distribution of goods; it only prevented the government from doing so. Thus 'structurelessness' becomes a way of masking power, and within the women's movement it is usually most strongly advocated by those who are the most powerful (whether they are conscious of their power or not). The rules of how decisions are made are known only to a few and awareness of power is curtailed by those who know the rules, as long as the structure of the group is informal. Those who do not know the rules and are not chosen for initiation must remain in confusion, or suffer from paranoid delusions that something is happening of which they are not quite aware. For everyone to have the opportunity to be involved in a given group and to participate in its activities the structure must be explicit, not implicit. The rules of decision-making must be open and available to everyone, and this can only happen if they are formalised. This is not to say that formalisation of a group structure will destroy the informal structure. It usually doesn't. But it does hinder the informal structure from having predominant control and makes available some means of attacking it. 'Structurelessness' is organisationally impossible. We cannot decide whether to have a structured or structureless group; only whether or not to have a formally structured one. Therefore, the word will not be used any longer except to refer to the idea which it represents. Unstructured will refer to those groups which have not been deliberately structured in a particular manner. Structured will refer to those which have. A structured group always has a formal structure, and may also have an informal one. An unstructured group always has an informal, or covert, structure. It is this informal structure, particularly in unstructured groups, which forms the basis for elites.
