Zola Carr is a doctoral candidate at Columbia University, working on a dissertation on the development of experimental brain implants for psychiatric disorder.
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.
Donald Trump’s tariffs may not amount to the end of neoliberalism. But their potential success — a sign that the neoliberal consensus is no longer hegemonic — suggests that the old world is dying, and the struggle over what replaces it has only just begun.
The meeting of New England’s newer low-wage immigrant working class and its older industrial working class is beautifully rendered, warts and all, by Ocean Vuong in his new novel, The Emperor of Gladness.
Led by Delta, many airlines are now working with AI firms to expand the industry’s use of big data for price setting. Using new surveillance techniques, these firms exploit consumer privacy to set “personalized” prices to jack up fares.
Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for city-run grocery stores is entirely practical. What’s more unrealistic, begging corporations to sacrifice profits to fulfill a necessary social role or simply providing basic urban infrastructure ourselves?
Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s France Insoumise is the biggest radical-left force in Europe. Liberal opinion seethes against all aspects of the movement — but Mélenchon’s comrades haven’t been thrown off course.
The parallels between Zionists and a northern Arkansas group seeking to forbid Jews and people of color from buying adjacent tracts of land are more significant than you might think.
A secret lobbying effort by Hewlett Packard Enterprise has pushed Donald Trump’s Justice Department to reverse course on the tech giant’s $14 billion megamerger and led to the ouster of top department prosecutors.
Disney has made several big-budget films with the backing of the US government to sell space travel to a new generation. But audiences don’t seem to care.
Belgium’s detention of Israeli soldiers over alleged war crimes in Gaza has set a historic precedent for holding Israel to account for its war crimes. And it’s a sign that the tide is turning against Israel.
Eleven years ago today, ISIS began its genocidal assault on Iraqi Yazidis. Reporting from the Sinjar region, our correspondent shows how a fractured community finds its path to recovery hindered by geopolitics as much as by violence.
Forget partisan finger-pointing. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal cuts across party lines, indicting economic and political elites alike.
In Germany, at least 8,000 people go to jail each year for failing to pay public transit tickets. The relevant part of the criminal code was introduced under the Nazis — yet is still routinely used to imprison mostly poor non-payers.
Abundance is the precondition of socialism, but socialism is also the precondition of abundance.
Electing Zohran Mamdani is just the beginning. To actually win his agenda against billionaire opposition, we need to build popular power — permanent grassroots organizations that can mobilize tens of thousands to have his back when the fight gets real.
Italy’s small textile firms have long been considered nearly impossible to organize. But a recent wave of successful simultaneous strikes is expanding possibilities for Italy’s hyperexploited immigrant workforce.
For decades, liberal humanitarianism argued that the international community should take military action against states engaged in extreme human rights abuses. Well, there’s no way to argue that Israel isn’t exactly such a state.
The new party announced by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana shows that Gaza has become a key fault line in British politics. Keir Starmer’s Labour Party can no longer rely on silencing the Left.
With Europe in ruins in 1945, Bertolt Brecht wrote that war “has been discredited for some time to come.” That period seems to be meeting its end, as European states push a new era of rearmament.
US children are 80 percent more likely to die before adulthood than children in peer nations. Causes range from lax gun laws to privatized health care. What connects them is a corrosive culture of individualism that makes child safety parents’ private business.
