SIX WEEKS INTO Israel’s escalated and open genocide in Palestine there were signs that the global anti-war movement was beginning to flag. Rallies and marches had filled streets in hundreds of cities in the United States and Canada every week since October, and in many places, solidarity activists were carrying out an impressive and diverse array of actions just as consistently.
Direct actions blocked rail lines, highways, ports, bridges, and all sorts of roads. An early morning action even…

ENVIRONMENTALISTS HAVE LEARNED a key investigative rule: “follow the money.” At the core of important environmental issues, it is NOT good vs bad guys, nor cultural wokeness vs anti-wokeness, nor smart vs stupid, nor Republican vs Democrat. Rather, at the core, somebody or something (a group, a corporation, an individual) is making money or acquiring power….

THERE IS A tremendous euphoria, a little bit of which is legitimate, after the election results. The elections of 2024 were the least democratic in Indian history. The state apparatus, including the anti-corruption branch, political police, tacitly the Election Commission of India, (which refused to take action against the Prime Minister despite his aggressive communal campaign), were all pressed into service.
The bulk of the mainstream media, especially most television channels, were likewise going…

WHILE THE GENOCIDAL Israeli-United States war on Gaza and Palestine continues — amidst all kinds of diplomatic posturing and UN resolution-splicing — the one really hopeful development is the outpouring of activism in many U.S. communities, most visibly the magnificent movement on college campuses organized in encampments demanding an immediate permanent ceasefire, and divestment from corporations tied to Israel’s machinery of massacre and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people…….
