Chicagoans mobilize to oppose Trump’s threats of military occupation
Chicago, IL – On September 30, 1500 Chicagoans marched down Magnificent Mile to protest Trump’s threats of using the city as a military training ground. This past week has seen the effects of Operation Blitz in full force, with heavy presence of ICE and other federal agents conducting deportations. Trump’s speech to top U.S. generals the same day showed he intends to escalate the federal occupation with the military.
Ramped up repression means ramped up fight back!
“They are dehumanizing our communities. They are inflicting terror on our families. Separating families. Let’s not forget that when ICE murdered Silverio [Villegas-Gonzalez], the only thing they said was that he was an illegal. They did not say that he was a father, a worker, and a member of our community,” said Gabriela Hernandezm of Casa DuPage, speaking to the crowd in Spanish.
Hernandez also stated, “We are here today, protesting again, to tell this administration that the Mexicano/Latino community are not criminals. It is the time for us to speak firmly and clearly about these things, because if not, they will come to silence all of us.”
Reverend Jonathan Brooks of Live Free Illinois stated, “ICE has been accused of violating a consent decree meant to protect families from warrantless arrests. This disregard for legal protections tears at the very fabric of trust in our democracy.”
Brooks continued, “A federal judge has already ruled that targeting deportations based on political speech is unconstitutional – yet ICE continues to act as if it is above the law. Let’s be clear: this is not about safety. This is about authoritarianism, fear and control. Our communities do not need to be occupied – they need to be respected.”
“We saw over the weekend how ICE agents shamelessly occupied the streets of downtown and detained fellow residents. Over in Broadview, protesters and journalists are being shot at, teargassed, and brutalized. In a raid in South Shore just last night, ICE, FBI and other federal agents ransacked 70 apartments, knocked down doors, threw stuff all over the place, and detained 50 people – including Black U.S. citizens,” said Angel Naranjo of the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO).
Naranjo continued, “Trump hates Chicago because he is a racist reactionary who represents the class enemy – the monopoly capitalist class – and this enemy can’t stand us. Trump and his lackeys are mad and ramping up their attacks – and so we’re ramping up our fight back! The masses of our city – and in particular the Black, Chicano/Latino, immigrant and working-class masses – are putting up a just fight against this rotten imperialist system that is tearing apart our families and occupying our neighborhoods! We are building a movement to stop the raids, and our demand is legalization for all undocumented people.”
“What we need right now is solidarity. The solidarity that Fred Hampton talked about. The solidarity that Assata Shakur deserved. We need solidarity with federal workers, with day laborers, teachers, nurses, warehouse workers. We need solidarity across unions. All public unions, trade unions, across communities. We need the solidarity of all working people,” said Jill Manrique of Chicago Jobs for Justice.
A member of Students for Justice in Palestine – Chicago (SJP Chicago) ended the program by reminding the crowd, ”The kidnapping of families and workers, and the occupations of our city’s streets is just an escalation of policy that has been standard in this nation since its inception.”
After the program, Chicagoans loudly marched down Magnificent Mile, one of the biggest commercial corridors in the city. Protests ended at the Water Tower, finishing with Assata’s “It is our duty to fight for our freedom” chant.
Enemies from within
“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military. Cuz we’re going into Chicago very soon,” said Trump in front of the U.S. top military leaders, stating that there were enemies from within that the military must apprehend.
Trump's deployment of federal forces is an escalation of the ongoing occupation of Black, Chicano/Latino, and working-class communities by the Chicago Police Department (CPD). Trump aims to ramp up this oppression and squash the working and oppressed people who are getting organized to fight back against this. From the 2020 George Floyd rebellion, to the 2025 LA uprising against ICE, working and oppressed are wanting and mobilizing for an end to this terror. The ruling class of this country knows this, and is ramping to continue its grip of oppressed people in this country.
Join the resistance!
This mobilization was called by the Coalition Against the Trump Agenda (CATA), a coalition of over 80 organizations building a united front against the reactionary Trump administration. Sign up to get notified when the next mobilization happens at coalitionagainsttrumpagenda.org
Join the resistance! Trump has a long oppressive agenda, and we’re here to defeat all of it.
Polarization rocks U.S. military
New Orleans, LA – On September 30, “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth blew his bugle for the military’s next crusade. The world’s biggest and baddest armed forces folded in Afghanistan and burned in Vietnam. Hegseth and Trump looked at these defeats, and many more, then scratched their chins. At last, they ferreted out Benedict Arnold: DEI.
Top brass from across the globe scrambled to Quantico to hear about it. Hegseth attacked “fat generals,” women, “men in dresses,” “weak men,” and supposed diversity hires. He announced he’d whip troops into shape by prohibiting beards, narrowing hazing protections, and replacing gender-neutral expectations with “male-standard” physical training. Trump followed by parading a $1 trillion 2026 military budget.
Military meeting or MAGA sales pitch?
“All-hands” high-level gatherings are routine, but this one stood out. It was a full court press to build consensus against “wokeness.”
“What made this meeting so notable is that today’s military is buffeted by an atmosphere of extreme partisan polarization,” wrote former National Security Council staffer Peter Feaver.
Commentators saluted the officers for listening with their poker faces on. It’s supposed to be a win for keeping politics out of the military. But many haven’t kept their cards close to their chests.
“Could have been an email,” one officer told Politico. Another described the conference as an “inexcusable strategic risk.”
“I suspect it’s not being taken well,” retired Lt. General Mark Hertling told MSNBC.
These comments expose that polarization hasn’t been staved off; it’s already running deep. It’s come up before, everywhere from shaving rules to the trans ban. The latter was opposed by 56 retired generals and admirals.
Take it to the streets, see who comes out on top
The sharpest flashpoint has been the National Guard’s occupation of major cities. Trump called them “training grounds” for troops. He states plainly that these takeovers, in Black and Chicano urban areas, go fist-in-glove with imperialism abroad.
Trump’s takeovers have escalated deportations and racist arrests. Although the National Guardsmen do not have powers of arrest themselves, they give backup to federal agents to go after people on petty or trumped-up charges. On Fight Back! Radio, a DC Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression activist described how agents have detained people for legally smoking weed.
But these occupations have prompted a wave of mass resistance. Protests have sprung up in every city that Trump has targeted, and even local politicians are speaking up. “Training grounds” indeed – for the united front against Trump.
The court system is taking notice. The Guardian reported that DC has seen unprecedented lows in indictments by grand juries on charges related to the Trump takeover, even if a grand jury can indict a ham sandwich.
Pushed on by the fightback from civilians, soldiers up and down the chain aren’t buying that there’s an “enemy within.” One officer told Politico that these deployments “distract warfighters.” At least eleven former generals criticized the Los Angeles takeover. The Guardian reported that dozens of troops deployed to LA voiced anger about being political pawns. One said the assignment was “shitty.”
“Disoriented, demoralized, and ineffective”
This isn’t to say there’s a revolt within the armed forces. But they face a different kind of problem – disorganization.
In Foreign Affairs, Peter Fever writes: “Over the course of their professional lives, these military officers are likely to serve a large chunk of their time under both parties. If they become identified as partisans of one, they may be viewed as enemies of the other—starting a cycle of partisan purges that leaves the military disoriented, demoralized, and ineffective, as has happened in other purge-prone militaries.”
To complicate things further, this divided force is running up against a fragmented legal system. The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the federal military from participating in general law enforcement without a state’s consent. It’s the basis for the California ruling against the occupation of Los Angeles. Effectively, cities in blue states have this legal avenue against the deployments. States like Louisiana, where Trump crony Governor Jeff Landry requested federal assistance, are a different terrain.
Polarization in the military, like in the rest of the U.S., is a sign of imperialism’s decline. Hegseth admitted to this decline when he compared the aftermath of Vietnam to the U.S.’s position today. In Vietnam, like in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. tried to rally other imperialists under the banner of “spreading democracy.” But out with these ambitious, ideological wars. In with the wars of naked and narrow self-interest. It’s the desperate gambit of an empire losing its grip. Mounting abuses of military power come with the territory. But, after all, Americans have resisted the likes of this since 1776.

The US has attacked multiple Venezuelan boats in recent weeks, with US officials saying the goal of the strikes is regime change in Venezuela as opposed to the war on drugs. Along with the airstrikes of boats, a US destroyer boarded and seized a Venezuelan boat in mid-September, which the Venezuelan government insists was a tuna fishing vessel.

Donald Trump ordered Israel to “immediately” stop bombing Gaza as he welcomed Hamas’s partial acceptance of his ultimatum to end the nearly two-year war.Hamas has agreed to release all hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails, as well as surrender governing power in the Gaza Strip, in accordance with Trump’s plan.
In a statement on Friday evening, the Palestinian militant group asked for further negotiations on other parts of the plan, and did not say whether it would lay down its arms – a key part of Trump’s proposal unveiled on Monday.
Despite the qualified response by Hamas, Trump said in a post on Truth Social: “Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE."

Hamas has prisoners, it’s the propaganda that calls them hostages. If you want to call them hostages, you should call the prisoners that Israel has hostages as well.
Actually, propaganda is what you are doing.
A hostage is someone :
1. That isn't sentenced for anything.
2. That can not be precisely located anywhere.
3. That doesn't know if he will be released or killed by his captors.
For instance, Nelson Mandela wasn't a hostage. He was a political prisoner.
(A political prisoner is still a prisoner)

Kansas special session on trans law would be 'more important than redistricting'
Top Kansas Republicans want the Legislature to hold a special session to amend a state law related to transgender people, which they say is "even more important than redistricting."The move comes after the Kansas Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Attorney General Kris Kobach related to Senate Bill 180. That 2023 law is the subject of a legal dispute over whether it blocks trans people from changing their gender marker on their driver's license.
It also comes at a time when Republicans are moving toward calling a special session on redistricting with a goal of gerrymandering the congressional district maps.

Protesters then marched to the Brooklyn Bridge, where some sat down, locked their arms together, and sang while blocking traffic to the span. New York Police Department (NYPD) officers subsequently arrested at least 56 people, according to the New York Post.Many of the arrested protesters chanted, “Let Gaza Live!” as their hands were zip-tied and they were hauled off to an awaiting NYPD bus.
Asked why she was arrested, one keffiyeh-clad woman said, “Because I’m using this sacred holiday of Yom Kippur, as a Jewish person whose ancestors perished during the Holocaust, to protest against the genocide of the Palestinian people in my name.”
“And I say, not in my name,” she added.

casini palestrinesi e la rogna del popolo quando puzza di niente o di tutto
La giornata d’oggi è andata tutto ok, per me, senza incidenti costosi… motivo per cui è proprio il momento perfetto per fare la democristiana — come al solito, ma pericolosamente più del solito; si prega di godere a riguardo — parlando circa la più attuale attualità che ha visto il più sventurato resto del nostro paese (o del mondo?) oggi… perché non riesco a capire tutta l’ultima questione a proposito dello sciopero per la Palestina; nel senso che pure stavolta non si riesce ad essere non dico d’accordo tra le parti, ma a stare un minimo tranquilli… 😓Con lo sciopero di settembre già avevo sentito rogne, ma tutto sommato niente di ché; hanno fatto cose non buone in 1 sola città (il tugurio che già è Milano… quindi in realtà niente di valore fu perduto), e ovviamente i governanti hanno strumentalizzato la cosa, e le pecore che gli vanno appresso hanno quindi urlato… ma per il resto andò tutto bene e poca gente si è lamentata (almeno, su Internet ho visto meno cose cringe, poi boh). Con quello di oggi, però veramente ho letto cose… da un lato troppi cortei disordinati e sfocianti comunque in un dato livello di violenza, dall’altro gente “alternativa”, “contro il pensiero unico” che fa tutta l’indignata ed insulta o augura il male a chi supporta lo sciopero, e di risposta quelli della prima categoria che fanno lo stesso indietro a loro… che schifo. 💔
Se devo essere sincera e dire la mia precisamente — più o meno, perché su tutta la storia ho idee che non si assimilano né al mainstream né ai complottari malefici di cui sopra, e servirebbe un post solo per spiegarle bene, quindi evito ora (…ma, se qualcuno proprio ci tiene, si può presentare di fronte casa mia e andiamo al bar; e, ovviamente, il caffé mi deve essere offerto, quindi astenersi poveri) — questo sciopero non mi sta super a genio… perché, per quanto Israele non mi stia per niente simpatico, neanche certe cose palestinesi le trovo buone… però, capisco e non critico, e anzi farei i complimenti a chi partecipa, perché comunque dietro c’è un’idea di bene e pace (magari poco pensata, ma oggettivamente c’è)… Non è che, visto che le premesse secondo me sono fallate, allora ho il diritto morale di dire le cose brutte. 🙄
…Certo, al contempo non mi piace per niente se, da idee apprezzabili, ci si fa trasportare troppo di lato e si finisce per fare il disastro, e si usa quindi la forza, come stavolta invece è successo in diverse città; qui “da me”, per dire, hanno provato a forzare il blocco anti-blocco della polizia (…non si dice così, ma ci siamo capiti) al porto, che non è buono… così come non è buono che la polizia abbia risposto a sua volta con la violenza fisica, contro anche dei minorenni… ma a cosa mai può portare la violenza se non ad altra violenza? Stop violenza, porca troia. Stop violenza qui da noi e, ovviamente — lo auspico ogni volta che mi ricordo, quindi da diverse volte al giorno a quantomeno svariate volte alla settimana — stop violenza in medio oriente, ma stop violenza sempre e ovunque, che non ce la faccio più a vivere sapendo queste cose. 😭
…Ah, e stop anche ignavismo; c’è tanta gente che all’apparenza sarebbe simile a me in questi pensieri, ma in realtà semplicemente non se ne frega proprio… e anche questo, per me, non è buono affatto, perché non bisogna mai chiudere gli occhi ai mali del mondo solo perché non ci toccano personalmente. Io agli scioperi in piazza non ci sono andata, perché come detto non sono d’accordissimo, e poi stamattina (purtroppo!!!) le mie lezioni c’erano regolarmente… Ma, ieri pomeriggio, all’università, in più di un’ora in cui non avevo nulla da fare, essendo passato lo strambo corteo palestinese (circa ricollegabile ai poli umanistici) che faceva semplicemente un giro con le bandiere e i canti, di mia spontanea volontà l’ho seguito, pur senza spiccicare una sillaba, così, per sfizio… mentre tizi altrettanto strambi e che non conosco (pochi eh, ma comunque), ma lì del polo di informatica, quando questi sono passati a far casino per invogliare gente ad unirsi, hanno ridacchiato o detto cose inutili (…e, stranamente, ma strano solo per modo di dire, questi erano solo ragazzi… le altre ragazze lì non hanno fiatato, similmente a me, pur rimanendo magari nelle proprie cose e non unendosi). Da come fanno, sembra che non gli possa fregare di meno dei bambini che muoiono e tutto quanto… boh, non mi piace che la gente sia così. 😶
Allego due (2) foto che ho scattato ieri, a proposito… di cui una fa ridere, perché vedevo il corteo fermo dove stavo io dalle fessure dell’aula studio… proprio come se li osservassi dalle pareti, dove normalmente vivo. E, nota a margine che forse può tornare utile per qualche burla, almeno per chi vive in ufficio o a scuola: questi qui usavano rotoli di scotch per fare rumore, sbattendoli su parti di metallo o plastica di interni ed esterni, come porte o infissi o boh… e non avevo mai visto niente del genere, ma è geniale, per quanto bordello fa pur essendo per via di un oggetto che in genere non appare rumoroso! (Anche se poi a me, tutto sommato, i cortei bordellosi manco piacciono… preferisco, per così dire, quelli più da anziani, ma pazienza.)
