“They came in the night after Assad fled,” said Mohammed, a resident of Kodena, a small village perched upon rolling hills of rocky soil, about a mile and a half east of the unofficial border with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. More

There’s always been a wide chasm between what Americans typically think they are and who they really have been over the years. Terms like rugged individualism are advertised while the underlying toil done by the enslaved, by women with no agency…….the almost eradication of the native population—well, it’s actively avoided because the narrative does not More

Ever since the 1990s, when to the longstanding cooptation of the Western working class by social democracy was added the collapse of the Soviet Union and its satellites, the saying has been popular among the chattering classes that “it is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism.” As McKenzie More

The so-called ceasefire in Gaza was a cynical ruse to secure Israeli captives while giving Israel free rein to starve, murder and assassinate at will. The world was duped into swallowing yet another Zionist deception, orchestrated by Israel-first Americans, financed with U.S. taxpayer dollars, and drenched in Palestinian blood. Since the ceasefire was announced, north More

After a year of gutting the United States government, deploying armed jackboots to American cities, and bombing at least seven countries, the Trump administration kicked off 2026 by invading Venezuela and kidnapping its president, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores. In the wake of that assault, President Trump doubled down on his abandonment of the isolationist More

It’s official. This tormented, heated, traumatised planet is now home to over 3,000 billionaires.  (That number was reached last year.)  In October 2025, Elon Musk became the first man to have wealth exceeding half a trillion dollars.  These developments could still take alongside the fact that one in four people across the globe face hunger.

Despite several contributing factors such as More

Israel has come home to roost in Minnesota. The people of Minneapolis and St. Paul have become the Palestinians of Minnesota. The residents of the Twin Cities are experiencing the loss of sovereignty and civil rights that Palestinians have suffered for over eight decades.    The L’Etoile du Nord (the Star of the North) state has been besieged by More

Today I thought I would discuss two of my favorite Trumpian lies about the economy: he lowered drug prices 1,500 percent and we’re bringing in $18 trillion in foreign investment. These are among my favorite Trumpian lies because they involve important issues and Trump repeats them all the time. They are both also absurd on More

Over the past year, images of masked, heavily armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arresting men, women and children – outside of courts, at schools and homes – have become common across the United States. The video of an ICE agent shooting and killing Renee Nicole Good – a U.S. citizen – in Minnesota on More

Last week, I wrote an article at CounterPunch about the killing of Renee Good by ICE agents in Minneapolis. When I wrote that piece, my goal was to stay measured and make the case that the shooting was unjustified in a way that might actually get certain people to listen. I reviewed the video evidence More
