fast-food workers flooded the lobby of Hardee’s corporate headquarters in St.
Louis, Mo., this afternoon, demanding that Trump’s labor nominee Andy Puzder
withdraw his nomination or be rejected by the U.S. Senate. Chanting “Hold Your
Burgers, Hold Your Fries, Down With Puzder and His Lies” and “Make a Dollar,
Get a Dime, Puzder Won't Pay Overtime,” workers unfurled a banner reading
“Puzder: Bad for America” in the lobby of the building. The also dropped a
banner from the parking garage across from Hardee’s headquarters. The message:

Federal Judge Denies Request To Block DAPL Pipeline Construction

Description: Description: 1nodapl18By Staff of Associated Press. A U.S. federal
judge on Monday denied a request by Native American tribes seeking to halt
construction of the final link in the Dakota Access Pipeline, the controversial
project that has sparked months of protests by activists aimed at stopping the
1,170-mile line. At a hearing, Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court
in Washington, D.C., rejected the request from the Standing Rock Sioux and
Cheyenne River Sioux tribes, who argued that the project would prevent them
from practicing religious ceremonies at a lake they contend is surrounded by
sacred ground. With this decision, legal options for the tribes continue to
narrow, as construction on the final uncompleted stretch is currently
proceeding. Another hearing is scheduled for Feb. 27, as the tribes seek an
injunction ordering the Army Corps to withdraw the easement. Lawyers for the
Cheyenne River Sioux and the Standing Rock Sioux wanted Judge Boasberg to block
construction with a temporary restraining order on the grounds that the
pipeline would obstruct the free exercise of their religious practices. “We’re
disappointed with today’s ruling denying a temporary restraining order against
the Dakota Access Pipeline, but we are not surprised,” said Chase Iron Eye.

Description: Description: Screen Shot 2017-02-14 at 1.01.23 PMBy Nicole Colson
for Socialist Worker - Nicole Colson explains how Republican-led legislatures
are trying to push through laws to criminalize dissent--in the hopes of
stopping the growing fight against the right. LESS THAN three weeks into his
presidency, Donald Trump is clearly what George W. Bush once claimed to be: "a
uniter, not a divider." Only he's been uniting many hundreds of thousands of
people in protest and many millions in outrage at his bigoted, right-wing
actions since taking office. But Trump's right-wing admirers around the country
have seized on a strategy to push back against mass protest--by criminalizing
it. Lawmakers in multiple states are proposing measures explicitly designed to
curtail dissent. -more-

Douliery / EPABy Moon Of Alabama for Information Clearing House - February 13,
2017 "Information Clearing House" - "Moon Of Alabama" - At the end of his
administration Obama implemented a series of anti-Russian moves. The most
obvious was the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats over unfounded allegation of
Russian interference in the U.S. elections. Other moves included thelaunching
of an Ukrainian offense against the Russian supported resistance in the east
Ukraine. These moves were designed to impede the incoming Trump administration
in its announced plans towards more friendly relations with Russia. The
incoming Trump administration countered Obama's sanction move. Its designated
National Security Advisor Flynn phoned up the Russian ambassador in Washington.

Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau embraced warmly today at their
first official meeting at the White House, finding common cause in building oil
pipelines, among other things. But protesters, who staked out Trudeau at the
Canadian embassy later in the afternoon, made sure that the Prime Minister saw
their determination to fight fossil fuel infrastructure. Among the flurry of
executive orders issued during the first week of President Trump’s term was a
memorandum he signed regarding the northern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline. It
invites TransCanada to re-submit its application for Keystone XL and instructs
the Secretary of State to expedite review and render a decision within 60 days.

Description: Description: ANDREA PLAID ON THE “MINNESOTA NICE”
PHENOMENONhttp://www.tcdailyplanet.net/minnesota-nice-and-racism/By Jacqueline ;
Patterson for The Huffington Post - Three days ago I had yet another
conversation where well-intended, but poorly implemented diversification
efforts have fallen short and resulted in harm. I’ve either directly
experienced, or have been the listening ear for, way too many stories of
lamentation from the sole person of color employee, board member, steering
committee/advisory group member, coalition member, or even panelist/speaker in
various environmental organizations/coalitions/settings. The divisions in our
society, exposed and rubbed raw by recent events, urgently call for a deeper
level of intent and action on building processes, organizations, movements, and
systems that are rooted in anti-racism and anti-oppression. -more-

Panel, citing what she calls the oil giant’s “targeted attacks” on
environmental groups under former CEO Rex Tillerson’s watch. In a letter this

her disgust with the company’s continued assault on organizations investigating
whether Exxon covered up the risks of climate change. Labowitz, a co-founder

over former NSA contractor Edward Snowden as a gift to Donald Trump, according
to several published reports. The news was broken by NBC, which wrote that “a
Snowden handover is one of various ploys to ‘curry favor’ with Trump” that the
Russian government is supposedly considering. NBC reported that U.S.
intelligence had collected information pointing to the possibility of a Snowden
handover. Of course, the American president has long been criticized by
opponents for supposedly being too favorable to Russia. -more-

- More than a thousand people supporting teachers and other public employees
gathered in front of the Iowa Capitol Sunday afternoon urging legislators to
not rewrite Iowa's collective bargaining law. The theme of the March for Iowa's
Teachers was simple: resist and persist. "This is an attack on every educator,
every student and really, every member of the state of Iowa," Iowa State
Education Association President Tammy Wawro said. Iowa public employees and
union leaders have implored legislators to reject a Republican-sponsored
collective bargaining bill that would restrict public-sector workers' ability
to negotiate contracts with state and local governments and school districts.

for Activist Post - According to the Times, a neighbor saw “two dozen F.B.I.
agents wearing military-style uniforms and armed with long guns” storm Martin’s
home and later escort the man out in handcuffs. At the time, there was
speculation that Martin could be connected to stolen N.S.A. code that found its
way into the hands of a group called the Shadow Brokers — for a period, Martin
worked for the elite N.S.A. unit from which the data was taken — but even now,
authorities can’t prove he actually passed on any information. But the mere
fact that he possessed such highly sensitive material is enough to put Martin
away for the rest of his life, as the recently released indictment indicates.

There is good news in the Boston Globe today for the managers, development
directors, visionaries, political hacks and propaganda flacks who run “the
Progressive Movement.” More easy-to-earn and easy-to-hide soft money, millions
of dollars, will be flowing to them from super rich Democrats and business
corporations. It will come clean, pressed and laundered through Organizing for
Action, the latest incarnation of the Obama Money Machine which has recently
morphed into a “nonpartisan non-profit corporation” that will ‘‘strengthen the
progressive movement and train our next generation of leaders.’’ Does this
information concern you? If not, you need to get out of the propaganda bubble
of your Progressive Movement echo chamber and think. -more-

against US President Donald Trump, hitting back at his anti-Mexican rhetoric
and his depictions of them as “rapists” and "criminals" and to demand “the

carried by protesters in Mexico City, who waved a sea of red, white and green
Mexican flags as they marched down the capital's main avenue. In what is
shaping up to be Mexico's biggest anti-Trump protest yet, over 20 cities joined
the call to march. Dozens of universities, business associations and civic
organisations are backing the protest. "It is time we citizens combine forces
and unite our voices to show our indignation and rejection of President Trump,
while contributing to the search for concrete solutions," said the coalition
behind the marches. -more-

& Soon Iran
Description: Description: From CreativeResistance.orgBy Staff of Popular
Resistance - If Donald Trump's recent threat of military action against Iran
sounds familiar to you, then It should. Democrats in Congress already beat him
to it before Trump's tiny hands could even grace the bible at his swearing-in
ceremony. How did they do this? By creating a resolution in January to threaten
military action against Iran if they tried to obtain nuclear weapons.
Unfortunately, what's being touted as a move for U.S. safety and security is
starting to sound eerily similar to the threat to invade a country to find
deadly weapons that turned out to never exist (think Iraq). So what's the REAL
reason behind this threat of military action? All signs seem to point both
underground and in America's wallets. -more-

120 businesses are closed in Wisconsin on Monday to protest Milwaukee County
Sheriff David Clarke's immigration crackdown. From work strikes to legal
campaigns, multiple efforts have been mounted to resist the Trump
administration's immigration crackdown, which has instilled fear and panic in
communities across the United States. Recent raids have impacted "nearly 200
people in the Carolinas and Georgia, more than 150 in and around Los Angeles,
and around 40 in New York," according to the Associated Press on Sunday. Raids
also reportedly took place in Arizona and Chicago. President Donald Trump on
Saturday said the raids were "merely the keeping of my campaign promise."

Description: Description: 1copenhBy Bruce Gagnon of Global Network Against
Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space. One of the big issues facing Denmark is the
US pushing them to purchase the F-35 fighter plane that is getting lots of bad
reviews for being a complicated and temperamental war plane. Peace activists
there are organizing a campaign to block their government from buying the
planes - the US is even demanding they purchase spare parts up front which is
not a real confidence builder in the quality of the plane. Just like in all the
other meetings Dave and I participated in during this trip, the demonization of
Russia by NATO was at the forefront in our discussions. One Danish woman in the
meeting said, "We've got to work together globally and do it around NATO which
is at the center of what is creating tensions." -more-
