Roselló Steps Down After Puerto Rico Rises
Puerto Rico governor Rosselló offered the island no way out, no road map — just failure cloaked in rhetoric. That’s why mass movements forced his ouster — and why they’ll keep organizing for a recovery for all Puerto Ricans, not just the rich.

How Tiffany Cabán Lost the Vote But Won the Fight in Queens
Tiffany Cabán speaks to Jacobin about her stunning left-wing challenge to the Queens County Democratic machine in the recent district attorney’s race. Although her campaign came just short of victory, the movement against mass incarceration — and New York City politics — will never be the same.
The Quiet Death of the “White Bernie Bro” Attack
The media used to say Bernie Sanders’s coalition was too white and male. Now that that’s so obviously not true, they should admit why they really hate Bernie — his class politics.
The CEOs Want You to Know That They Care
With their new statement disavowing “shareholder value,” the CEOs of the country’s biggest corporations are trying to send a message: we feel your pain and we want to do better. They’re empty words, but it’s the latest sign that the masters of the universe are getting nervous about capitalism’s waning popular legitimacy.
The Amazon Is Burning — and It’s Bolsonaro’s Fault
