Tiffany McCoy is the executive director of House Our Neighbors and one of the managers of the Proposition 1A campaign.
The “Beergate” scandal is, in the grand scheme of things, small potatoes. The real scandal should be that Britain is awash in crushing poverty, and Labour under Keir Starmer is doing little to fight it.
In 2010, the citizens of Tyneside, England, composed and performed an epic musical number about their metro system. Try to watch it without weeping.
The Biden administration hasn’t stopped trying to privatize Medicare. But a pushback is gaining steam.
Despite majority support for abortion rights, we failed to build a majority coalition to defend reproductive freedom. We should honestly assess our failures — and then build a movement that ties together labor, feminists, and health care organizing.
Sri Lanka’s economic crisis has produced an explosion of violence on the island. That violence won’t end until the country ends its war on Tamils and Muslims and drastically scales back its military budget.
Spreading knowledge and awareness of the climate crisis isn’t enough. There’s no hope for the planet without climate policies that address the material interests of workers.

The master of psychosexual cinema, Paul Verhoeven, has produced another lurid romp, this time about lesbian nuns in the 17th century. Underlying Benedetta’s silliness, though, is a thoughtful reflection on faith and love for our deeply secular times.

The political establishment is volubly worried about peaceful protests outside the homes of antiabortion rights judges. But when arson, firebombing, and even murder are inflicted on abortion providers, it seldom seems even to notice.
Relentlessly driven to boost profits, US hospitals have introduced a management system called “lean production” that seeks to cut out any inefficiencies. The result has been disastrous: overstressed workers, unattended patients, and a hit to worker solidarity.
Former guerrilla fighter Gustavo Petro may soon be Colombia’s first left-wing president. His candidacy has been met not only with smears, but credible threats of assassination from the Right.
For the last two years, the US and its allies have engaged in a frenzy of infrastructure projects in the Middle East, seeking to consolidate influence in the region. This bid for hegemony is coming up against a new force: Chinese capital.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that scientific advances come from individual geniuses making breakthrough discoveries. That’s wrong.
Without moralizing, the Mexican writer Fernanda Melchor’s novels look unflinchingly at cruelty and poverty. Her work is a model for how to think about the ambiguity of human relations.
A new super PAC run by top Democratic consultants just put a quarter of a million dollars behind Texas representative Henry Cuellar, who opposes abortion rights. With Roe v. Wade on the brink of being overturned, it’s unconscionable.
Joe Biden may have dropped Trump’s racist justifications for a border wall, but the “border-industrial complex” is still alive and well — and still monstrously profitable.
