Common Dreams:


"A poll worker in Syracuse, New York said she was left unsettled after a pair of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed up at her polling place to tell her to delete Instagram content calling for the indictment of the agent who shot Renee Good in January.

 

The worker, Paigelynne Gonyea, was in the middle of her shift during Tuesday’s elections in New York when she received a phone message from someone who identified himself as Dave Brody, a special agent with the Department of Homeland Security. He said agents 'were just by' her apartment and had spoken to her husband about a post in which she 'doxxed an ICE agent back in January.'

 

Gonyea said the agents were referring to a post she made on January 8, 2026, the day after an ICE agent shot and killed Good, a 37-year-old mother and US citizen, in Minneapolis. The post contained an image of the masked agent, who had at that point been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune."

-->This is the beginning of ICE taking the role of Trump's thought police. You would think that the NYT would be interested. But our newspaper of record didn't cover the story.

"UAW Divests from Israel Bonds. After UAWD members forced the amendment onto the Constitutional Convention agenda, UAW delegates voted to divest the union’s reported $400,000 in Israel bonds, marking a victory for decades of rank-and-file organizing.

Bucking a decades-long trend of sidelining questions of international solidarity and silencing Palestine liberation, delegates to the 39th UAW Constitutional Convention in Detroit, Michigan voted June 18th to divest from Israel bonds. The UAW reportedly holds at least $400,000 in these investments. Delegates from Unite all Workers for Democracy (UAWD), the class struggle movement of the UAW, representing UAW members across the country, led the effort to divest.

UAW members have been fighting to divest dues money from Israel bonds for over fifty years. In the 1970s, the UAW Arab Workers Caucus picketed UAW events, struck, and organized for the 1974 UAW Constitutional Convention demanding divestment. Workers redoubled their efforts after the apartheid state escalated its genocide in October 2023."

-->The NYT doesn't bother itself with divestment from Israel. Why isn't this covered? Probably because the Israel Lobby still has enough power to hid this very successful program. The United Auto Workers is one of the biggest unions in the country.
