Branko Marcetic is a Jacobin staff writer and the author of Yesterday’s Man: The Case Against Joe Biden.
After campaigning on ending censorship and cancel culture, Donald Trump is making the list of things you’re not allowed to say in America longer and longer. ABC’s cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show signals that not even comedians are safe.
The murder of Charlie Kirk was a moral travesty. We can recognize that without ignoring that he repeatedly fanned the flames of political violence himself.
We spoke to David Adler, a participant in the Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza, about the recent alleged drone attack by Israel on the flotilla and why its participants are committed to continuing their journey despite the dangers.
Seth Harp’s best-selling The Fort Bragg Cartel exposes the degree to which America’s drug trade and attendant violent crime are connected to its foreign wars. It’s a timely read as Donald Trump uses both to justify radical new expansions of military power.
After bitterly attacking Joe Biden’s foreign policy as incompetent, chaotic, and likely to leave the Middle East in flames, Donald Trump has continued everything that made Biden’s final year so disastrous — only dumber and more violent.
Chicago is attempting to model resistance to Donald Trump’s looming authoritarian military occupation of its streets.
A surprising number of Andrew Cuomo’s allies, donors, and friends have close ties to the late pedophile and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
Donald Trump’s crackdown on antisemitism seems to have strangely missed all of his appointees and allies who associate with a range of unabashed anti-Jewish bigots. It almost makes you suspect the White House’s charges of antisemitism are purely cynical.
Donald Trump has spent the last seven months flooding our food, water, and air with all kinds of very real, very horrible pollutants, including numerous cancer-causing chemicals — the exact opposite of “making America healthy again.”
By clinging to American primacy through force and intimidation, Donald Trump is, ironically, undermining US global power. A saboteur trying to subvert US interests from the inside could hardly do better than what he’s accomplished through sheer incompetence.
As Israel is permitted to continue its daily slaughter in Gaza, it’s hard not to look at the current push to recognize Palestinian statehood as a cynical way for Israel’s backers to delay doing anything substantive to stop it.
Israel’s war in Gaza combines a staggeringly high death rate, shocking violence toward children, unparalleled physical destruction, and now a world-historical famine. The world has, by objective measure, never seen anything like this.
After 21 months of slaughter, pro-Israel political leaders are finally speaking out about the horrors in Gaza. Great. But if it takes them as long to actually act, there will be no Gaza left.
A judge who sealed a slew of Jeffrey Epstein–related documents that could implicate others is the same Chevron-connected judge who threw the book at Steven Donziger. She has another potential conflict of interest when it comes to the Epstein files.
The Democrats’ Project 2029 takes up the unique strategy of getting the very people who drove their party into the disastrous rut it is now stuck in to come up with the ideas that will get it out.
Not only was Trump intimately close to Jeffrey Epstein, but there is a wealth of reporting tying the billionaire pedophile to intelligence circles. Trump is once again protecting the elites he claimed he would fight on the campaign trail.
The enactment of Donald Trump’s horrendous Big Beautiful Bill is an indictment of the Democrats’ decision to split their agenda into two separate bills in 2021. It’s a reminder that Build Back Better’s failure wasn’t guaranteed — it was a political choice.
In only half a year of Donald Trump’s presidency, he and his allies have turned deportation into an explicitly political threat against opponents and critics. The latest and most high-profile is Zohran Mamdani.
Zohran Mamdani’s win wasn’t the only race last week or even in the past few years where pro-Israel money and arguments failed. The Israel lobby’s power rests on appearing more fearsome than it actually is.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand attacked Zohran Mamdani this week with Islamophobic falsehoods, later partially walking back the comments. It’s of a piece with Gillibrand’s indifference to the genocidal Israeli war that is increasingly outraging New Yorkers.
