North Korea has sent a substantial military force to assist Russia in its war with Ukraine. According to US government officials, there are now more than ten thousand North Korean troops on Russian soil. They are expected to take part in a Russian military operation to regain lost territory in the Kursk region. The US […]

The great stories of Mike Tyson’s fight against Jake Paul last night were the ones left untold. This might have been the story of Tyson, a convicted rapist, getting his just deserts. I am not fond of nursing grudges against people who have served their time in prison, but Tyson remains unrepentant, and even as […]

Since the onset of Israel’s exterminationist war on the people of Gaza thirteen months ago, Francesca Albanese, United Nations (UN) special rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, has acquired international renown as a public chronicler, legal anatomist, and political opponent of genocide. Appointed to the role in May 2022 — the month Israeli forces assassinated Palestinian American […]

At the United Nations General Assembly on October 30, 187 countries voted for a nonbinding resolution to end “the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.” This resolution has passed with near-unanimous support every year (except 2020) since the fall of the Soviet Union, which deprived Cuba of […]

The election takes are still flowing as freely as the Dom Pérignon at one of Kamala Harris’s Silicon Valley fundraisers. Many liberals agree on one thing: the American people suck, especially the working class. The Guardian headline on a Rebecca Solnit piece this week reads, “Our mistake was to think we lived in a better […]

Picket lines went up across Canada this morning as workers at Canada Post launched an unlimited strike action. For months, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) has been trying to secure a new collective agreement to protect jobs and pensions, achieve a reasonable wage increase, and address excessive workloads. Canada Post, however, has had […]

In the months before the election, it became clear that political films were tanking, no matter what attitude they adopted. Dinesh D’Souza’s right-wing Vindicating Trump died a grisly death, as did The Apprentice, a drama with a liberal perspective based on young Trump’s toxic relationship with his mentor, the notoriously corrupt attorney Roy Cohn. Even […]

In the premiere episode of The Franchise, HBO’s warts-and-all satire of the movie business, an assistant director named Dag has a brief existential crisis about the wisdom of spending her life (and someone else’s fortune) on hacky comic-book adaptations. “What if this isn’t a dream factory?” Dag wonders aloud to a colleague. “What if it’s […]

Confusion and missing information often prevails in the wake of elections. But some of this confusion is due to the spin and […]

In early October, Shoshan Hassan Mazraani, the head emergency department nurse at the Marjayoun hospital in southern Lebanon, was drinking coffee at work when she saw an Israeli strike hit without warning “directly on the ambulances” outside. The attack killed seven paramedics and wounded five others. The same day, Israeli strikes repeatedly hit Salah Ghandour […]

On November 9, Elon Musk shared a video posted by president-elect Donald Trump and captioned it with a single capitalized word, “YES!” In the video, Trump shouts at the camera for a whole six-and-a-half minutes and insists that he will “shatter the left-wing censorship regime and reclaim the right to free speech for all Americans.” […]

Political betting markets, which facilitated more than $3 billion in total election-related bets, are poised to benefit significantly from Trump administration ties and policies, despite mounting concerns about the dangers of election gambling.

The German Foreign Office first announced its guidelines for a “feminist foreign policy” back in March 2023, yet public debate over the meaning of this policy has never been more heated than in the past month.

If Donald Trump learned anything from his dysfunctional first term, it was that loyalty is significantly more important than competency. After years of chaos and turnover in major cabinet-level positions, and amid comments regarding his “fascist” tendencies from former officials in the last months of the 2024 campaign, Trump’s allies have prioritized filling his second […]

Over the course of my hour-long conversation with Isabella Weber, the University of Massachusetts Amherst economist continued to resist the urge to say, “I told you so.” But such a declaration would have been well warranted. With just days to go in 2021, Weber made waves both inside and outside the academy with the publication […]

Last Wednesday, Olaf Scholz’s German government became perhaps the first indirect victim of Donald Trump’s election win. It’s not that the American president-elect targeted the coalition — the result of a 2021 deal between Scholz’s Social Democrats (SPD), the Greens, and the neoliberal-hawk Free Democrats (FDP) — as some sort of red menace. The crisis […]

Confirming the trend in many countries in 2024, in Lithuania’s general election voters opted for change rather than more of the same. In the two-round contest that ended on October 27, the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party (LSDP) won a landslide victory, capturing fifty-two out of 141 parliamentary seats, well up from their previous thirteen.

Who’s to blame? That question has animated just about every discussion of Vice President Kamala Harris’s catastrophic loss last week to Donald Trump. The answer has been often refracted through the Democratic Party and its media apparatus’s tendency to view everything good and bad in the world through vulgarly drawn demographic categories.

Last week, Bari Weiss’s newspaper, the Free Press, ran the headline, “Last Night’s Pogrom in Amsterdam.” Two days later, Fox News informed its online readers that Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had “condemn[ed]” the “antisemitic pogrom in Amsterdam.” Right now, a one-word Google search for pogrom gets you headline after headline about the same event, […]

Donald Trump has made no secret of his desire for revenge. On the campaign trail, he joked about being a dictator on “day one” in office, pledged to jail journalists, and threatened to retaliate against political foes who he felt had wronged him. Now, just days after he secured a second term in the White House, Congress is […]

Glowing reviews, Oscar buzz, a “surprise twist” ending, and word-of-mouth enthusiasm have combined to make Conclave more of a must-see now than when it was first released a few weeks ago. This mystery thriller is based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris, adapted by playwright Peter Straughan, and directed by Edward Berger, whose German […]

Shortly before the 2000 election, BusinessWeek magazine introduced a new kind of investment vehicle to the American public. Several firms, the article revealed, had constructed funds whose performance would be highly correlated with the outcome of the election. Customers could buy into a George W. Bush or an Al Gore fund, each of which was […]

Will Donald Trump’s reelection be the prod the European Union (EU) needs to start getting its act together? Can the twenty-seven-nation bloc articulate a common industrial policy that protects workers and average citizens from the perils of globalization — and the lure of the far right?

On November 2, 1920, Britain’s best-known revolutionary, Sylvia Pankhurst, was found guilty of sedition at London’s Mansion House courtrooms and jailed for six months. She remained unbowed. “Although I have been a socialist all my life, I have tried to palliate the capitalist system,” she told the court. “But all my experience showed that it […]

After a demoralizing election loss, the Democratic Party is deep in the throes of debate and finger-pointing as it figures out what it wants to actually be in the years ahead: a party of working Americans, or one of CEOs and billionaires.

After Thursday night’s events in Amsterdam, many commentators were remarkably uninterested in the truth of what had happened. The clashes between Israeli football hooligans, Dutch fans, and local, often ethnic-minority men had turned into an international incident — and it was obvious enough what side most of our leaders would pick. The language of “anti-racism” […]

For liberals, Donald Trump’s victory this week prompts adjectives like “scary,” “terrifying,” “depressing,” and “demoralizing.” But one word it should not evoke is this: “surprising.” In a downwardly mobile country, Democrats’ rejection of working-class politics — and the party’s open hostility to populist politicians in its midst — was always going to end up creating prime political conditions for […]
