"No Kings. No Thrones. No Crowns.": Millions to Protest Saturday in 1000s of Cities, Towns Nationwide
Even as President Trump has cracked down on dissent and sent troops into multiple cities, organizers of Saturday's anti-authoritarian "No Kings" protests expect millions to join at least 2,500 rallies across all 50 states and several U.S. territories. The turnout could surpass the 5 million protesters who turned out for "No Kings Day" events in June.

"We are engaging in the most American activity in the world, which is coming together in peaceful protest of our government," says Leah Greenberg, co-founder and co-executive director of the progressive organization ?Indivisible. Trump's threats against the protests are a "classic exercise of the authoritarian playbook, to try to create fear, to try to threaten, to try to make people back off preemptively," she adds.

"There will be no fear, but the fear of what will happen to us if we don't mobilize," says Byron Sigcho Lopez, alderperson of the 25th Ward in Chicago, where mass protests are expected.

"Israeli Sadism in a Nutshell": Amira Hass on Israeli Prisons, Settler Violence & Gaza Ceasefire
Just days after the U.S.-backed ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect, President Trump has issued new threats against Hamas, saying Thursday the United States would back a military intervention against the group if it fails to uphold the ceasefire agreement.

"There is the fear all the time that the war will be renewed," says Amira Hass, Haaretz correspondent for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, who joins us from Ramallah. Hass is the daughter of Holocaust survivors and is the only Israeli Jewish journalist to have spent 30 years living in and reporting from Gaza and the West Bank.

Historian Joel Beinin on Gaza Deal, Abandoning Zionism, His Israeli Niece's Captivity in Gaza & More
As Israel and Hamas exchange living and dead captives as part of a U.S.-backed ceasefire agreement, questions are growing about how sustainable the truce is and whether the two sides will progress to the second and third stages of the plan.

"My family is very happy that the families of other hostages that have been returned, dead and alive, are reaching some degree of closure," says Middle East historian Joel Beinin, whose Israeli niece, Liat Beinin Atzili, was held captive in Gaza for 54 days after she was taken by Hamas militants on October 7, 2023, while her husband Aviv was killed. The family's story is the focus of a new documentary, Holding Liat.

"All of the rest of the 20-point plan is very dubious, and I have grave doubts about whether any of the rest of it will actually be implemented," says Beinin, who also discusses one-sided Western media coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how he came to "abandon Zionism" despite having family in Israel.

"We Lost Everything": Palestinian Writer Ahmed Abu Artema on Gaza Ceasefire, Hostage Exchange & More
"War is over," declared Donald Trump Sunday night, as the first phase of the U.S.-backed 20-point Gaza peace plan got underway. Hamas has returned the remaining 20 living hostages back to Israel, while Israel has released around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners. We get a reaction to the ceasefire from the Palestinian writer and human rights activist Ahmed Abu Artema. He recently evacuated Gaza, nearly two years after multiple family members, including his son, were killed in an Israeli military attack. "We cannot say we are happy, because we lost everything," he says.

DHS Releases Worksite Enforcement Strategy to Protect the American Labor Market, Workers, and Worksite Conditions
WASHINGTON - Today, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to take actions to promote a fair labor market by supporting more effective enforcement of wage protections, workplace safety, labor rights, and other employment laws and standards.  ? 

"The Department of Homeland Security has a critical role to ensure our Nation's workplaces comply with our laws,"?said Secretary Mayorkas.??"We will not tolerate unscrupulous employers who exploit unauthorized workers, conduct illegal activities, or impose unsafe working conditions.??Employers engaged in illegal acts compel the focus of our enforcement resources.??By adopting policies that focus on the most unscrupulous employers, we will protect workers?as well as legitimate American businesses."??

In accordance with a memorandum issued by Secretary Mayorkas on October 12, ICE, CBP, and USCIS will develop and update policies to enhance the Department's impact in supporting the enforcement of employment and labor standards.  The agencies must also develop strategies for prioritizing workplace enforcement against unscrupulous employers and, through the exercise of prosecutorial discretion, facilitate the participation of vulnerable workers in labor standards investigations.  

The memorandum also establishes an end to mass worksite enforcement operations.  Under the previous administration, these resource-intensive operations resulted in the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of workers and were used as a tool by exploitative employers to suppress and retaliate against workers' assertion of labor laws.

Lastly, the memorandum calls for broader and deeper mechanisms for coordination with interagency partners to enforce worker protections.
