Democracy Now! "Grand Theft Government": Federal Workers Send SOS over Musk's DOGE, Mass Firings & Service Cuts

Feb 20, 2025 | Amid the indiscriminate dismantling of the federal government by the Trump administration's Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, federal workers, thousands of whom could lose their jobs, are fighting back. "All of us do something not only essential, but also mandated by Congress," says union organizer and Army Corps of Engineers employee Chris Dols. Dols is part of a growing movement of federal workers and their allies staging mass protests to "Save Our Services" and warning of the long-term consequences of these extreme cuts to the bureaucracy. "They're trying to immiserate the working class, and they're doing it through the federal workforce," says Dols, who is also a national coordinator with the Federal Unionists Network. "It's about gutting the services that create a safety net in this country, because the more miserable we are, the easier it is for them to exploit us." He calls on the larger public to join the worker-led movement resisting these radical cuts. "The whole public sphere is at stake."

It seems pretty clear to me that Trump, Musk and henchmen are making a bloody mess of the American economy. This is all going to end in tears for so, so many people. The only ones who will be laughing are those that will profit handsomely from this, and they will be laughing all the way to the bank! America is in the process of being gutted and ruined. These people should be in jail, not allowed to be free to vandalise the economy like this, and ruin people’s lives. – © Mark Alexander

The US Is Poised to Use Terror Laws against Students. This Could Be Worse than McCarthyism

THE GUARDIAN: A new 7 October 2023 taskforce says it’ll investigate support for Hamas, paving the way for a legal strategy targeting free speech

On Monday, the Department of Justice announced the launch of “Joint Task Force October 7 (JTF 10-7)”. In an accompanying press release, the DoJ said it would bring to justice Hamas leaders who murdered and kidnapped innocent civilians in the deadly attack on Israel of 7 October 2023. Few would quarrel with this ambition. In the same breath, however, the press release claimed that the taskforce would also “investigate acts of terrorism and civil rights violations by individuals and entities providing support and financing to Hamas, related Iran proxies, and their affiliates, as well as acts of antisemitism by these groups”.

In plain English, this means the student protesters. It could also include universities and colleges that have entered the government’s crosshairs. » | Thomas Anthony Durkin and Bernard Harcourt | Friday, March 21, 2025

Trump Revokes Legal Status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

THE GUARDIAN: Move takes effect on 24 April as president weighs also stripping parole status from some 240,000 Ukrainians in US

The Department of Homeland Security said on Friday that it would revoke the temporary legal status of more than 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans welcomed into the US under a Biden-era sponsorship process, according to a notice posted to the Federal Register and signed by the homeland security chief Kristi Noem.

The order cuts short a two-year “parole” program – known as CHNV – under Joe Biden that allowed 532,000 people who had arrived in the US since October 2022 with financial sponsors to obtain two-year work permits to live and work in the US. Noem’s notice said they will lose their legal status on 24 April. » | Diana Ramirez-Simon and agencies | Friday, March 21, 2025
