Donald Trump and his allies aren’t making a secret of it: if they win, they’re going to launch a campaign of repression to destroy the pro-Palestinian movement and the organized left.
Morning Joe is the political show of choice for many elites, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. A Jacobin analysis of six months of its Gaza coverage reveals an unflagging role cheering on Israel’s genocide.
The unhinged, often racist madness at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally is a preview of what his win on Election Day would unleash. Yet the Democratic Party has continuously refused to wage a substantive campaign to defeat him.
As the Kamala Harris campaign lurches rightward, pundits want us to believe she’s just following the will of the voters. The facts don’t bear that out.
The price tag for enacting the most basic measures needed to mitigate climate change might seem steep — until you realize just how devastatingly expensive the natural disasters exacerbated by climate change are and will be very soon.
Under Donald Trump, Congress moved swiftly to block a president from starting a war with Iran. As Joe Biden allows the country to be dragged into such a war, criticism is nearly nonexistent.
Republican endorsements, running to the right on foreign policy, an unambitious agenda of incremental change less important than how bad the other guy is. Where have we seen this before?
The problem with Ta-Nehisi Coates’s recent grilling on Palestine by CBS News’s Tony Dokoupil isn’t that it was rude. It’s that Dokoupil’s questioning betrays a fundamental lack of concern for Palestinians’ basic humanity, shared across mainstream media.

At the VP debate, Tim Walz offered lessons for how progressives can communicate their ideas to ordinary Americans. Unfortunately, it’s all in the service of Kamala Harris’s unambitious, corporate-friendly campaign.
We went to the Republican National Convention to better understand the strangest mainstream party in the world.
Twitter’s banning of Ken Klippenstein and suppression of his journalism should be a wake-up call that tech censorship is a threat to press freedom across the political spectrum.
The only way to stop a bloody and electorally disastrous regional war in the Middle East is for President Joe Biden to do the one thing he wants to avoid: cut off military aid to Israel.
After Rashida Tlaib complained about anti-Palestinian bias in elite circles, politicians and journalists spent days defaming her using a fake quote. It’s the kind of mendacious treatment that has become the norm against pro-Palestine voices since October 7.
Republicans are doubling down on mendacious, racist insanity over Haitians in Springfield, Ohio. But the incident is also a window into how many top Democrats have all but abandoned immigrant rights.
The past two months of strong polls and good vibes for the Democrats likely won’t last if Israel starts a regional war and drags in the US. The only solution is for Joe Biden to stop sending Israel weapons.
The US government is not just arming a country that kills Americans with impunity — it’s lying on Israel’s behalf so it can escape blame for those murders. Why is this allowed to continue?
Onstage at the presidential debate last night, Kamala Harris gave the kind of substanceless performance that has characterized her campaign so far, seemingly designed to keep the country from knowing what she would actually get done in the White House.
Compare the response to Israel’s murder of a US citizen in the West Bank to the response to Hamas’s killing of a US citizen hostage last week, and the takeaway is clear: arming Israel is more important to Joe Biden than even the life of an American.
