  • How to Tell When Authoritarians Become Fascists

    The times they are a-changin. And quickly. And not in a good way. And it’s scary. The façade of democracy is being ripped away by politicians who never liked it but lately feel emboldened to admit it. Most important of all, they have begun to act like unapologetic authoritarians.

  • New Pentagon Plan Prioritizes Western Hemisphere and the Homeland Over China

    A draft of the latest National Defense Strategy (NDS) was leaked to Politico (09/5/2025).

We must name and challenge all its forms—physical, religious, economic, political, psychological, cultural, sexual, and others—because violence in any form is the primary barrier to […]

  • No Excuse for Refusing Palestinians their State a Moment Longer

    When it comes to recognising Palestinian statehood, the UK and US seem unable to grasp what their solemn obligations are. Fortunately, UN Resolution 37/43 of December 1982 is there to help.
