STANDING
ROCK LIVES ON AS A MODEL FOR PEACEFUL RESISTANCE
Police have now
taken full control of the Oceti Sakowin Camp, following an hours-long siege
today at Standing Rock. A number of Water Protectors were forced to flee en
masse across the Cannonball River to escape a running advance by heavily armed
police. It is unclear at this time how many Water Protectors have been
arrested. Today's raid came on the heels of additional forced evacuations
yesterday in Standing Rock. Around 150 police from several states mobilized
against the Water Protectors yesterday on Highway 1806 in South Dakota and
forced a large number of people to evacuate from Standing Rock, using the
threat of force… With the fervent attacks on the Water Protection
movement led by Indigenous peoples from around the world (but especially individuals
from the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nations) also comes a model for peaceful yet
powerful resistance we must all learn to utilize. I refer to the remarkable
degrees of respect, responsibility, persistence, courage and wolokolkiciapi (a
love-based sense of internal and external peacefulness) taught by Indigenous
people and quickly emulated by their non-Indigenous allies. More
We Have to Keep Fighting: Water Protectors Vow Continued
Resistance as Main Camp Is Evicted
The court cases that are coming up, I think there are more than
just one on the 27th. There are others that are coming up. Right now, they are
just trying to, as again, make them follow the law, to do a complete
EIS—Environmental impact statement. nd to stop the construction, to sit down
and talk. We understand that no matter what we do or say at this moment in
time, we must stand by what the legal people are doing. You know, I always tell
people, we are doing our best to follow the law, but we are also doing our best
to stand up against injustice. And because they did the evictions, they thought
they would stop the movement. All they have done is enhanced us. All they have
done is made us understand what kind of limits they would go to. We know that
when you are on the right side of justice, you continue to stand in prayer and
nonviolent resistance, you will win. More

IT’S NOT OVER!
DPPer Emmy Rainwalker writes:
There are 17 banks identified as the
funding source for the pipeline in North Dakota.
Bank Exits are actions that are
happening all over the world, where someone closes an account as a protest
against the Dakota Access Pipeline with lots of people supporting and sending a
message to the bank that funding fossil fuels is no longer a good or attractive
thing to be doing!
There will be an action on Saturday, February 25 from 11 am to 1 pm outside Bank
of America in Harvard Square. Your support
would be welcome!
Please look for our exciting summary of
the event we hosted last Thursday about Standing Rock with actions we can take
together. We are researching some interesting ones. Coming to your inbox

BATTLING
TRUMP – AND RECLAIMING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
DPPers have discussed on various
occasions the desirability of getting involved in local politics. In our
state, with an all Democratic Congressional delegation, that means
practically-speaking the Democratic Party. Now, in the wake of the Bernie
campaign and the Trump presidency, our members are taking a new interest in the
movement to transform the Democratic Party back to its New Deal roots as the
party of working people and social progress. Many of us have committed to
attending the local Democratic Caucuses, which are happening in the next
months, either to become Ward Committee members or delegates to the June
Democratic state issues convention. Bernie supporters are aiming to
push for a more progressive Democratic state platform.
Here’s a
schedule of the upcoming Dorchester Caucuses:

WARS ABROAD, WARS AT HOME
To
Survive, the Democratic Party Needs to Stand Up to Wall Street and Global
Corporations
If
Democrats want to retake government, they will need to do more than be the
party that isn’t as bad as Trump, starting with closing the wealth gap…
For years, the Democratic Party chose to overlook these tough realities: Wages
are low and stagnant. Jobs are outsourced. Drug prices and insurance premiums
rise, and students take on a lifetime of debt just to have a shot at a decent
job. Wall Street banks get bailed out when risky bets fail, and millions of
ordinary Americans are punished with job losses and foreclosures for a
financial crisis they didn’t cause. Meanwhile, virtually all the wealth
generated by a recovering economy goes to the top 1 percent. The severe
inequality that results from these lopsided policies fuels frustration and the
nihilism that led to the election of Donald Trump. The Democratic Party
has fallen short by not taking on the structural causes of this crisis: an
economy that favors big corporations and global capitalism. The party also has
failed to step up to the climate crisis, which requires a radically different
sort of economic recovery, and to the crisis of racial exclusion. More
WILL KEITH ELLISON MOVE THE DEMOCRATS LEFT?
Ellison is co-chair of the Congressional
Progressive Caucus, the putative left-wing answer to the brinksmen of the
Freedom Caucus on the right, and he was an early and fervent supporter of
Sanders’s Presidential campaign. Like Sanders, he consistently opposed the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, a trade deal sought by the Obama White House in its
final two years which was attacked by populists in both parties. (President
Donald Trump recently withdrew the U.S. from the T.P.P.) Ellison announced his
candidacy for the D.N.C. chairmanship six days after the Presidential election.
Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, predictably endorsed
him—but so did establishment figures, such as Senate Minority Leader Charles
Schumer, and his predecessor, Harry Reid… Meanwhile, the turmoil
of Trump’s first month as President has alternately panicked and emboldened the
Democratic base. The activist surge on the left, most spectacularly
demonstrated at the Women’s March, in Washington, D.C., and in other major
cities, and during protests at nearly a dozen airports after the executive
order to temporarily ban people from seven majority-Muslim countries, has
stoked a conviction that the Party must be more forceful in combatting Trump.
Democrats in the Senate have been conspicuously more strident in their
opposition to his Cabinet nominees in the days since the airport
protests. More
In Trump’s White House,
It’s the Billionaires vs. the Bombardiers
How do we make sense of the apparent chaos in the Trump White
House, with the president saying something one day and his top officials
insisting otherwise the very next? There is, of course, the unstable
personality of the president himself, and the fact that he has yet to install a
complete cadre of senior policy-makers. But I believe there’s a deeper, more
structural explanation for the chaos. Swirling around Trump and fighting
for
supremacy are two powerful factions: the billionaires, who seek maximum
opportunity for elite enrichment, and the bombardiers—political ideologues who
seek to bring down the existing world order and establish a new one in their
preferred image. So long as these two competing factions continue to enjoy
Trump’s patronage, we can expect continuing reversals in the weeks and months
to come… The bombardiers may share some illiberal values with the billionaire
class, but they have a fundamentally different worldview. For them, economic
enrichment is less important than prevailing in what they view as an epic
struggle between the “Judeo-Christian West” and the non-Western (especially
Islamic) world—a “clash of civilizations,” as the late political scientist
Samuel Huntington put it. This group includes senior White House strategist
Steve Bannon, senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, and immigration and
security adviser Sebastian Gorka. For the bombardiers, capitalism has been
corrupted by global elites who put multinationalism and free trade above
national sovereignty and the struggle against Islam. More

NEW WARS / OLD WARS – What
Could Possibly Go Wrong
The Misuse of American Military Power and The Middle East in Chaos
The standard triumphalist version of the last 100 or so years of
our history might go something like this: in the twentieth century, the United
States repeatedly intervened, just in the nick of time, to save the feeble Old
World from militarism, fascism, and then, in the Cold War, communism. It
did indeed save the day in three global wars and might have lived happily ever
after as the world’s “sole
superpower” if not for the sudden emergence of a new menace.
Seemingly out of nowhere, “Islamo-fascists”
shattered American complacence with a sneak attack reminiscent of Pearl
Harbor. Collectively the people asked: Why do they hate us? Of
course, there was no time to really reflect, so the government simply got to
work, taking the fight to our new “medieval”
enemies on their own turf. It’s admittedly been a long, hard slog, but
what choice did our leaders have? Better, after all, to fight them in
Baghdad than Brooklyn. What if, however, this foundational narrative is
not just flawed but little short of delusional? Alternative accounts lead to
wholly divergent conclusions and are more likely to inform prudent policy in
the Middle East. More
Poll: Majority Of Americans Are
Worried About War
Thirty-six percent of
Americans, according to the poll, would say they are “very worried” that the
United States will become engaged in a major war in the next four years. Thirty
percent were somewhat worried, 25 percent were not too worried, 8 percent were
not at all worried and 2 percent had no answer… NBC News noted, in a write-up
of poll results, some interesting splits in friendliness toward Russia:
Republicans and Republican-leaning respondents were split on their stance (50
percent call it an ally/friendly, 49 percent say unfriendly/enemy) while their
Democratic and Democratic-leaning counterparts thought overwhelmingly – 75
percent – that it was unfriendly/enemy. Finally, Americans are split on the
military’s effectiveness in fighting terrorism: 47 percent of respondents said
“using overwhelming military force is the best way to defeat terrorism.”
Forty-nine percent said “relying too much on military force creates hatred that
leads to more terrorism.” Four percent had no answer. More
SIGN PETITION SUPPORTING
'Stop
Arming Terrorists Act' H.R. 608
United for Peace and Justice has joined with the U.S. Peace
Council, Veterans for Peace and several other national peace organizations to
initiate a public campaign in support of Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard’s
(D-Hawaii) STOP ARMING TERRORISTS ACT (H.R. 608), which she originally
introduced to the Congress on December 8, 2016.
H.R. 608 is a bipartisan bill, which has been co-sponsored by Rep.
Barbara Lee (D-California), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky), Rep. Peter Welch
(D-Vermont), Rep. Walter B. Jones (R-North Carolina), and Rep. Ted Yoho
(R-Florida).
The Stop
Arming Terrorists Act (H.R.6504) has only 5 co-sponsors, none from
Massachusetts
The
West’s Moral Hypocrisy on Yemen
Only
a few months ago, interventionists were demanding a militant
response by Washington to what George
Soros branded “a humanitarian catastrophe of historic proportions” — the
killing of “hundreds of people” by Russian and Syrian government bombing of
rebel-held neighborhoods in the city of Aleppo. Leon Wieseltier, a senior
fellow at the Brookings Institution and former New Republic editor, was denouncing
the Obama administration as “a bystander to the greatest atrocity of our time,”
asserting that its failure to “act against evil in Aleppo” was like tolerating
“the evil in Auschwitz.” How strange, then, that so many of the same
“humanitarian” voices have been so quiet of late about the continued killing of
many more innocent people in Yemen, where tens
of thousands of civilians have died and 12
million people face famine. More than a thousand children die
each week from preventable diseases related to malnutrition and systematic
attacks on the country’s food infrastructure by a Saudi-led
military coalition, which aims to impose a regime friendly to Riyadh over
the whole country. More
Russia and the West: A NEW COLD WAR?
Not since the days of Ronald Reagan has Russia played such a
prominent role in US political life. After Donald Trump’s shock victory –
greeted in the Russian parliament with cheers and champagne – came accusations
of Russian meddling in the US electoral process, followed in January by the
leak of a dossier claiming that the Russian authorities had accumulated (even
more) compromising information on Trump. More recently there have been alarms
over the Kremlin’s connections with and possible influence on the incoming
secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, and Trump’s now ex-national security
adviser, Michael Flynn. The rhetoric emanating from US politicians and media
commentators too seems to be drawn from another era… All this makes it
hard to shake the feeling that we are living through a deranged re-run of the
Cold War. Of course, the idea of a reprise of the superpower stand-off that
dominated the 20th century has been in the air more or less since the actual
Cold War ended, the stuff of countless think-tank briefings and film plots. But
it has gained particular force over the last decade or so, supplying a
readymade framework for understanding the mounting tensions between Russia and
the West. More
Why We Must Oppose the
Kremlin-Baiting Against Trump
The bipartisan, nearly
full-political-spectrum tsunami of factually unverified allegations that
President Trump has been sedi-
tiously “compromised” by the Kremlin, with
scarcely any nonpartisan pushback from influential political or media sources,
is deeply alarming. Begun by the Clinton campaign in mid-2016, and exemplified
now by New York Times columnists (who write of a “Trump-Putin regime” in
Washington), strident MSNBC hosts, and unbalanced CNN commentators, the
practice is growing into a latter-day McCarthyite hysteria. Such politically
malignant practices should be deplored wherever they appear, whether on the
part of conservatives, liberals, or progressives… The allegations are
driven by political forces with various agendas: the Hillary Clinton wing of
the Democratic Party, which wants to maintain its grip on the party by
insisting that she didn’t lose the election but that it was stolen by Russian
President Vladimir Putin for Trump; by enemies of Trump’s proposed détente with
Russia, who want to discredit both him and Putin; and by Republicans and
Democrats stunned that Trump essentially ran and won without either party,
thereby threatening the established two-party system. More
Donald Trump’s Remarks Signal He Could Start a New Nuclear Arms
Race
Donald Trump’s declaration on Thursday that “if countries are
going to have nukes, we’re going to be at the top of the pack,” flew in
the face of decades of U.S. efforts to negotiate cautious, mutual reductions in
nuclear arsenals around the world. Trump’s comments to Reuters essentially
invited other nuclear powers to escalate their capabilities, and has the
potential to set off a new nuclear arms race… The Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty, which Congress ratified in 1970, requires the
U.S. to pursue the “cessation” of a nuclear arms race between superpowers, and
to take steps towards mutual disarmament. The whole idea was to end the nuclear
arms race forever… “The US has certainly not ‘fallen behind on nuclear weapon
capability,” wrote Hans Kristensen, a nuclear expert at the Federation of
American Scientists, in an email to The Intercept. “It is already ‘at the top
of the pack’ and has the most capable nuclear forces in the world backed up by
overwhelming conventional forces.” More

ISRAEL,
PALESTINE, GAZA. . . and the US
The
Middle East 'peace process' was a myth. Donald Trump ended it
For
decades, Israeli governments, pursuing the colonization of the entirety of
“Eretz Israel,” have
systematically destroyed the prerequisites for a solution involving a
contiguous, sustainable, sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its
capital. Nevertheless, the myth that a real Palestinian state is on offer, and
that there actually is a genuine “peace process,” endures as one of the
greatest examples of magical thinking in
Elor
Azaria verdict: 'No justice for Palestinians'
Human rights groups and Palestinian leaders have condemned
what they called the "extremely lenient" punishment of Elor Azaria,
the Israeli army medic who was filmed executing a severely wounded Palestinian
in Hebron last year. On Tuesday, a military tribunal sentenced the soldier to 18 months in jail and a demotion,
nearly a year after he shot a bullet from close range into the head of
21-year-old Abdel al-Fattah al-Sharif… The sentence was much lower than the
three to five years demanded by the prosecution, and far below the maximum
tariff of 20 years. One of the three judges dissented, recommending two and a
half to five years… During the trial, it emerged that Azaria, 20,
held extreme anti-Arab views, which he expressed regularly on social
media. In one Facebook post during the 2014 war on Gaza, he called for the
massacre of every Palestinian in the small coastal enclave. He also admitted to
spending a great deal of time in Hebron with the followers of the late Meir
Kahane, a rabbi whose virulently
anti-Arab Kach party was outlawed in 1994 after a supporter, Baruch Goldstein,
shot 29 Palestinians in Hebron's Ibrahimi mosque. None of that damaged Azaria's
popularity with a large swath of the Israeli Jewish public. The Israeli media
designated him as "everyone's son". More
69%
of Israelis back pardon for Hebron shooter
A large majority of Israelis are in
favor of granting a pardon to IDF soldier Elor Azaria, according to a Panels
Research poll taken for Wednesday’s Maariv, the Hebrew sister newspaper of The
Jerusalem Post… Deputy Foreign Minister Tzipi Hotovely on Wednesday formally
asked President Reuven Rivlin to pardon Azaria, writing that his crime took
place at a volatile location during a wave of terrorism and that there was
backing for a pardon on the Right and the Left. “The large public scandal
that accompanied the trial expresses the public’s desire to maintain unity in
the army and its legitimacy to struggle against terrorism and defend peace and
security in Israel,” she wrote. Sixty-nine percent said they support a pardon
for Azaria, 24% said they oppose a pardon, and 7% said they do not know. More
OUR
FREE SPEECH IS UNDER ATTACK!
State
Senator Creem of Newton and Representative Paul McMurtry of Dedham have filed a
legislation that would attack free speech and nonviolent protest - the exact
last thing we need in the Trump era. Creem and McMurtry's bills, SD.922 and
HD.779, are framed as anti-discrimination legislation. But in reality they
would penalize supporters of the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions
(BDS) movement for justice, as well as other social movements that employ
time-honored tactics of nonviolent economic pressure. If Creem and McMurtry had
introduced this bill in 1975, it would have made activism against South African
Apartheid substantially more difficult.
Send
a message to your state senator and representative to ask that they oppose this
dangerous bill.

presentations focusing on two very different forms of community activism in the
early 1970s: In the late 1960s the Boston School Committee hoped to comply
with the 1965 Racial Imbalance Act by attracting people from black and white
communities to state-of-the-art "magnet schools" such as the Joseph
Lee on Talbot Avenue. Failure to desegregate the Lee in 1971 was the pivotal
event leading to the Federal Court's desegregation order three years later and
the resulting busing crisis. Consulting published works and original City
archives Matthew Clark looks back on the state of Boston Public Schools in the
1960s, possible solutions the City explored, the planning of the Lee School,
and why the Lee school ultimately failed to achieve its mission; Also in
the late 1960s, a group of young political activists, disillusioned with the
anarchistic militancy that pervaded much of the student left, sought practical
ways to connect with working class people in the community. Consulting
published works, the original editions of Dorchester Community News, and
the memories of the activists themselves, Taylor Finch explores the roots of
progressive political activism in Dorchester, and rediscovers "THE PEOPLE
FIRST", an organization of student activists and long-time residents who
worked together to fight hunger, poverty, racism, judicial corruption and the
Vietnam war and its impact on the community.
