Deliberate contradiction: How the West contributes to killings in Gaza. The West serves as the simultaneous judge and executioner, the violator and the self-appointed defender of human rights.

On February 29, 2024, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin sent shockwaves when he informed lawmakers in the House Armed Services Committee that over 25,000 Palestinian women and children had been killed by Israel in Gaza up to that date.

Last month, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro withdrew from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, or RGGI (pronounced “Reggie”), a cap-and-trade program that establishes a regional limit on carbon emissions from power plants located in the Northeast.

Why the labor movement backs the Target boycott. One of the purposes of unions is to bring people together regardless of their background, race, ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation. Our common bond is that we are all workers.

For a long time, Target—that popular mega-store that seemed to hit just the right combination of low prices and of-the-moment swagger—was everyone’s darling, the go-to spot for everything from groceries to electronics, clothing, kitchenware and toys.

A far-right tide is washing over Latin America. Far-right forces are rising across Latin America and the Caribbean, armed with a common agenda of anti-communism, the culture war, and neoliberal economics.
