Women now shape the American war machine at its highest levels. That’s nothing to celebrate.
It’s Still Bernie
Don't listen to the media and think tank clowns — it's still Bernie.
Bernie Is Running, Thank God
Bernie Sanders is running for president again. His message is simple: there's a class war raging and working people need to win it.
A Hundred Netanyahus
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won’t be defeated in the polls on April 9. Whether he is indicted for corruption soon or not, his method of repressing Palestinian resistance is popular — and will probably outlast him in Israeli politics.
The Definition of Insanity
Eight years ago, liberals cheered as the Obama administration deposed an autocrat in Libya. The result was mayhem and chaos — and now they want to do the same in Venezuela.

How CAP Fuels the Right
The Center for American Progress is the country's most prominent liberal think tank. But it isn't just buddy-buddy with Democratic elites — it's cozy with AIPAC and right-wing leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu.

Warren Is No Hillary. She’s Also No Bernie.
The feud between Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren supporters is getting ridiculous. Warren isn’t Hillary and Bernie is no sexist.
Bernie Should Cancel Medical Debt, Too
Even more so than student debt, medical debt is a manifestation of everything that’s wrong with the United States today. Bernie Sanders, and the broader democratic socialist movement, should be calling for its abolition as well.
Behind Modi’s Blackout in Kashmir
A Jacobin contributor in Kashmir interviewed dozens of ordinary Kashmiris in the midst of Modi’s brutal communications clampdown on the region. Despite the Indian government’s best efforts, Kashmiris’ demands for self-determination cannot stay invisible forever.
Buying the Tory Party

Only to frightened elites.
Jeremy Corbyn Won Last Night. But He Needs to Get Angry.
Ignore the media spin — Jeremy Corbyn was the clear winner of last night's debate. But to defeat Boris Johnson, he'll need to make sharper attacks on the Tories’ shameful record.
The All-Women MSNBC Debate Panel Wasn’t a Feminist Victory — It Was a Right-Wing Disaster
This week’s all-women-moderated presidential debate is being lauded as a feminist victory in the press. But it was hardly that. The candidates were just fed inane questions meant to defend the benevolence of US empire and marginalize political positions deemed too far left.
Bernie Sanders Is a Critic of US Imperialism. Elizabeth Warren Is Not.
You can tell a lot about a candidate's foreign policy by the way they've responded to the right-wing coup in Bolivia. Bernie Sanders immediately called out the coup by name. Elizabeth Warren did not.
