The current impeachment inquiry into President Trump by the Democrats in the House of Representatives was launched by Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House. This marked a departure by her from her previous stance of resisting calls by the left wing of the Democrats (only “left” in the context of (...)
Christians in USA are increasingly protesting against Trump’s immigration policies and his politics of hate.
Holding pictures of migrant children who have died in US custody and forming a cross with their bodies on the floor of the Russell Senate Office Building, 70 Catholics were arrested in (...)
We are in the middle of a political upheaval on Israel/Palestine in the United States, and Americans who are concerned with Palestinian human rights live for these moments. They are the moments of potential change: When more tarnish is added to Israel’s image, and Americans get a clearer picture (...)
Nick Estes discusses the deep historical roots of the convergence at Standing Rock, why Indigenous peoples have taken a leading role in the climate justice movement, and why decolonization must be part of any left-wing agenda.
Booked is a series of interviews about new books. For this edition, (...)
How did we get from two decades of meteoric tuition increases to a moment where democratic socialist elected officials are pushing free higher education and complete student debt discharge? The short answer: organizing.
On June 24, Pamela Hunt stood at a lectern steps away from the Capitol. (...)
With the threat of eviction, solidarity activists in the Venezuelan embassy in Washington DC released a statement saying that eviction and arrests would be unlawful.
Solidarity activists have mobilized to stop the Venezuelan embassy from being taken over by Guaido’s representatives. (Popular (...)
Protest is telling the truth in public. Sometimes protest is telling the truth to a public that isn’t ready to hear it. Protest is meant to build a community, and to force a response.
I learned hope the hard way. It was a hot day in St Louis county near Ferguson, Missouri in September 2014, and (...)
The most important finding of the long Mueller investigation of Trump, that there was no collusion with the Russians to fix the 2016 election so that Trump would win, came as a shock to most liberals, progressives and even many socialists.
I’ve seen only one figure in the mass media who faces (...)
Two young Muslim women were elected to the House of Representatives in the 2018 election. Ilhan Omar is Black, and a refugee from war-devastated Somalia. Rashida Tlaib is of Palestinian descent, and has family living under Israeli oppression back home.
Both are outspoken supporters of the (...)
Capitalist-party politics in the United States remains in turmoil. There are investigations into Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia to steal the 2016 elections, as well as into his corrupt business practices on one side, and Trump’s mobilization of his white racist base on the other. (...)
Donald Trump’s New Cold War with Beijing has caught Chinese foreign students at American universities in its crosshairs. His administration has tightened restrictions on their visas, accused them of spying for the Chinese state and its high tech giants, and in the process whipped up a climate of (...)
President Trump declared a “national emergency” to stop what he calls an “invasion” of drugs, sex traffickers, murderers and other criminals at the border with Mexico by building a wall between both countries.
Trump says he will use the national emergency to allocate over $8 billion to begin to (...)
Socialists must organize a national movement against Trump’s national emergency.
U.S. President Donald J. Trump declared a national emergency on Feb. 15, arguing that it was necessary to build a wall along the nearly 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border because of a criminal invasion taking place (...)
THE VICIOUS, DIRTY – and bipartisan – smear campaign against the first two Muslim women in the U.S. Congress, Ilhan Omar (MN) and Rashida Tlaib (MI), is just beginning. No one should imagine that Rep. Omar’s dignified apology for her tweets about the Israel lobby, which have been willfully twisted (...)
When he first announced he was running in the Republican primaries for that party’s nomination for President, Trump signaled that central to his campaign would be anti-Mexican racism, racism in general against all non-whites, anti-immigrant xenophobia and Islamophobia.
Part of this was his (...)
CAN IT ALL really be Donald Trump’s fault? Do the antics of the worst, most malicious and willfully ignorant president in modern U.S. history serve to explain the spread of authoritarian regimes, racist and anti-immigrant parties, and rightwing fake-populism across much of the planet?
In some (...)
Militarist hawks and liberal pundits alike are up in arms (figuratively speaking, of course) over Donald Trump’s “victory” proclamation and announcement of U.S. troops’ withdrawal from Syria. Howls of Republican outrage may signal a further deterioration of the big twit’s shrinking political (...)
In looking at elections in the United States, deeper trends in the population are difficult to discern, given that the choices are between two capitalist parties, both staunch defenders of capitalist rule and U.S. imperialism.
There are no mass workers’ parties of any stripe. If there were, we (...)
The much-discussed results of the U.S. midterm elections represent, in this writer’s view, a “rebalancing” rather than something “transformative.” It is of course significant that the far-right Republican stranglehold on both houses of Congress as well as the presidency will be broken by the new (...)
Among socialists and the broader left there have been a range of views about what Trump represents. These range from that Trump is an aberration and that things will return to “normal” once he is gone, to that Trump is working toward establishing fascism. I reject the first view. Since 2008 (...)
