New Future
A kind of feed reader
With 95% backing for strike action, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers is taking on Canada Post over wages, pensions, and a fight for the future of public services.
Film industry executives are scared of them. Audiences are bored by them. It’s a dismal time for political films.
Many of the Biden administration’s final policy measures could soon be rolled back and permanently prohibited by the incoming GOP Congress, thanks to Democratic gambles and an obscure federal law increasingly weaponized by Republican lawmakers.
Democrats had a billion dollars to pull off a Kamala Harris victory. They hurled much of that money at celebrities and designing lavish environments to say the word “joy” in. It was one big A-list party, and Americans didn’t feel invited.
Conservatives today often denigrate a concern with economic inequality as a deviant left-wing preoccupation. In fact, from antiquity to the present, canonical thinkers of diverse political orientations have diagnosed economic inequality as a great evil.
In assessing Donald Trump’s victory, pundits have claimed the country turned right, the Harris campaign was too far left and woke, Biden’s presidency was robustly populist, and racism and sexism made the result inevitable. Those claims are all wrong.
In both Gaza and Lebanon, Israel’s attacks on hospitals and health care are part of a deliberate effort to collectively punish and depopulate large geographic areas.
Donald Trump has claimed that he will disempower content moderators and put an end to the “left-wing censorship.” We shouldn’t overstate the importance of such moves. Material inequality, not online discourse, explains liberalism’s defeat.
Facilitating more than $3 billion in total election-related bets during this election season, political betting markets are poised to win big from Trump administration ties and policies.
Last year, Germany’s Foreign Office spelled out guidelines for a “feminist” foreign policy, focused on defending marginalized women. Today in Gaza, this same ministry is arming the deadliest war on women and girls this century.
The selection of Lee Zeldin — a devoted Trump ally with no meaningful environmental expertise — to head the Environmental Protection Agency threatens to gut crucial protections for clean air and water while giving corporate polluters free rein.
So far, the Democratic Socialists of America has mostly relied on left-wing elected officials to act in concert without a coherent program. It has worked — but staying the course is risky. To keep up the momentum, DSA needs a coordinated plan.
World War I gave rise to a heated century-long debate about its causes. In Disputing Disaster, Perry Anderson surveys this wide-ranging field and makes the case that the Great War cannot be understood without considering the role of imperialism.
In the US, the past 40 years have seen the explosive growth of a new call center workforce, which now employs nearly 4 million people. Despite vigorous organizing efforts, the sector remains largely nonunion.
