  • Jewish Australians Are Rejecting the Zionist Establishment

    Since Israel launched its offensive on Gaza in October last year, supporters of the war have waged a worldwide campaign to smear legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitic. Vocal opponents of the war have been fired, blacklisted, and intimidated. Palestinians themselves have been the biggest victims of this campaign. In response, a wave of opposition

  • What If Labor Owned Its Workplaces?

    Jacobin’s David Moscrop recently talked with Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives senior economist and public finance policy analyst Alex Hemingway about his new cowritten report, Expanding Democratic Employee Ownership in Canada: Policy Options and why now might be the time for labor to finance ownership of the means of production.

  • The PMC Is Not a New Class

    There has been a persistent drive among intellectual advocates of advanced capitalism to identify new class forces to rejuvenate the system, alongside comparable efforts by leftist critics to identify new classes to lead its transformation. But, in fact, the class structure of paid work has shown a fairly consistent tripartite form since the emergence corporate

  • France’s Justice System Is Cracking Down on Israel’s Critics

    It’s a major escalation in France’s clampdown on solidarity with Palestine — and the latest sign of the politicization of the country’s justice system. Two prominent left-wing figures will soon face questioning before state investigators for possible charges of “apology for terrorism.” It’s a controversial infraction under French law, which criminalizes forms of expression said

  • Undisclosed Gifts May Influence Arizona’s Abortion Ban

    In Arizona, a deep-pocketed antiabortion group has been wining and dining a lawmaker who may be a deciding vote on a new effort to repeal the state’s draconian abortion ban — and the senator might have been accompanied by her husband, an Arizona Supreme Court justice who ruled earlier this month that the ban could

    • Kristi Noem Defends Killing Her Own Puppy

      Here at Mother Jones, we respect a wide spectrum of views when it comes to dogs. But a line must be drawn somewhere, and that somewhere is revealing that you killed your 14-month-old wirehair pointer for acting like a puppy. That’s what South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem admitted to in graphic detail in her forthcoming

    • The Spy Inside Your Smartphone

      Known for its investigative reporting, El Faro has been referred to as “a breakthrough digital newspaper blazing an independent and ethical trail in Central America.” So when reporters at the Salvadoran news outlet noticed their cellphones acting strange all of a sudden—batteries draining, unexplained overheating—they had a weird feeling that someone was accessing their messages.

    • Bill Barr Is Happy to Debase Himself for Donald Trump Again

      Once again, there’s not much love lost between Bill Barr and the man he accused of betraying the Oval Office, Donald Trump. When the former attorney general confirmed this week that he would support the Republican presidential ticket in November, his former boss took the opportunity to mock Barr as “slow-moving” and “lazy.”  “That’s classic Trump,”

      The Israeli authorities, in their campaign of remorseless killing, doctoring and adjusting the numbers of the Palestinian populace for whatever future awaits, have been found wanting on accusations that Hamas terrorists packed, stacked and filled UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East).

    • The Sad Spectacle of Lesser-Evil Elections

      Image by stefan moertl. One of the two major-party candidates for the presidency of the United States has allowed an decades-long ethnic cleansing to morph into a genocide, a horror that could be stopped with one phone call; has escalated the drilling of oil and gas despite the existential threat of global warming; forced railroad workers to swallow a bad contract by breaking their strike; and spent his Senate career as an errand boy for banks. And that’s the lesser evil! Joe Biden really is the lesser evil in this dismal race for the White House, and that such an office holder is easily not the worst candidate is surely sufficient to illustrate the decline of the world’s still extraordinarily dangerous superpower. Out of more than 300 million people, this is the best the country can do? Given the quite understandable reluctance (to put it mildly) for the types of folks who are reading these words to contemplate voting either for President Biden or Donald Trump, what do we do when the lesser evil is so evil that he has the sobriquet “Genocide” attached to his name?

    • The War Comes Home

      We are at that point in American history where politicians and pundits look at Kent State and Jackson State as models of tough discipline for American students instead of an atrocity never to be repeated…It’s worth asking why the National Guard has to be brought in to brutalize students camping on college lawns, when the average police force for a medium-sized city has more firepower and a higher body count. Maybe the National Guard just wants their cut of the action… To read this article, log in here or subscribe here.
