  • The Spectacle of a Police State: This Is Martial Law Without a Formal Declaration of War

    In Trump’s America, the bar for martial law is no longer constitutional—it’s personal. What is unfolding right now in California—with hundreds of Marines deployed domestically; thousands of National Guard troops federalized; and military weapons, tactics and equipment on full display—is intended to intimidate, distract and discourage us from pulling back the curtain on the reality of […]

  • Trump’s Absurd War on Education

    The US is at war. It has always been at war. Whether a world war, a proxy conflict, an armed intervention, a psyop, or a regime change mission, the United States has not enjoyed a single moment of true, unadulterated peace. And it’s not just at war with nations abroad. The US is also at […]

  • The Inevitable Souring: Elon Musk Falls Out with Donald Trump

    Sandpit politics is rarely edifying, and grown toddlers taking their fists to each other is unlikely to interest. But when they feature US President Donald Trump and the world’s wealthiest man, the picture alters. Disputes are bound to be on scale, rippling in their consequences. No crystal ball was required regarding the eventual sundering of […]

  • When the Strategy of Words Fights the Strategy of Force, Who Wins the War

    On the one hand, there are the words. In the analysis of  Oleg Tsarev, the leading Ukrainian opposition leader now in Crimea, the end-of-war terms presented by the Russian side at Istanbul on Monday afternoon  are “’not an ultimatum at all,’ [Russian delegation head Vladimir] Medinsky has stressed. Of course, Medinsky (lead image, left) is right. […]

  • Trump Fascism?

    With the second coming of Trump, many who profess left credentials again proclaim fascism is back, after we voted “fascism” out in 2020. Every four years we hear the story: “this election is the most important in our lifetime.” Republicans are the new fascism, Democrats are the lesser evil. No matter corporate interests fund both […]

  • Ahh, Little Red Barns Don’t Exist Anymore, Israel Was Never a Democracy, and Neither US the Shining City on the Hill

    Ahh, Little Red Barns Don’t Exist Anymore, Israel Was Never a Democracy, and Neither US the Shining City on the Hill

    I’ll be interviewing Will this Tuesday, for my radio show, Finding Fringe: Voices from the Edge, and it will air in July. Here’s a blub — a promotional positive statement about the book: “We are in a fight for our lives against a rising authoritarian tide, and this clear-eyed, compelling, clarion call of a book […]

    The Burning of Children Instead of Paper

    Israel Has Wiped Out Over 1,000 Entire Families International Middle East Media Center, 27 May 2025 Our apologies, good friends, for the fracture of good order, the burning of paper instead of children, the angering of the orderlies in the front parlor of the charnel house.

    The Gong Show, Jerry Springer, Maury Povitch, Howard Stern, Seinfeld

    And we thought the Borscht Belt had died out. We have it in the corridors of power, in the White Man’s House, in every corner of media and the law. To take this to its silliness level: The name comes from borscht, a soup of Ukrainian origin (made with beets as the main ingredient, giving it a deep reddish-purple […]

  • Putin-Trump Phone Call on Ukraine

    On Monday President Donald Trump telephoned President Vladimir Putin and they talked for two hours before Trump put lunch in his mouth and Putin his dinner. On the White House schedule, there was no advance notice of the call and no record afterwards. The White House log is blank for Trump’s entire morning while the […]

  • Trump’s First Four Months

    Today marks four months since would-be dictator Trump took office. How is the progressive resistance doing in its urgent battle to prevent what Trump and the MAGA want to impose? In early February, a few weeks into this time of testing, I identified our objectives over the next two years as “making as many advances as we […]
