ICE is out of control. Democrats have numerous ways to restrain the agency, from barring ICE from domestic spying and terminating its contracts with tech companies to creating and fully funding an independent body to investigate its many abuses.
The impunity with which ICE and other DHS agents are carrying out violence and murders in cities like Minneapolis is so awful that now scores of law enforcement officials themselves are speaking out against it.
Today’s liberal anti-Trump Resistance is stronger than it was in his first term, precisely because it has taken seriously some of the arguments of its critics.
Renee Good’s murder was the deadly culmination of the past year in which ICE and other federal agents pointed their guns and even shot at US citizens in dozens of cases around the country.
ICE appears to be reveling in the hypocrisy and double standards that the Trump administration’s unqualified defense of their sickeningly violent and occasionally murderous behavior, against Renee Good and innumerable others, has given them license to indulge in.
Renee Good’s death wasn’t an accident or self-defense. It was the predictable result of a militarized deportation force operating with impunity on American streets.
The attack on Venezuela signals a new phase of US power in Latin America — one defined by coercion, intimidation, and open-ended intervention.
Steve Bannon’s whole pitch is that he’s leading a movement against a decadent, borderless elite. Except according to newly released messages and emails, that movement has been heavily reliant on the most decadent, borderless elite of all: Jeffrey Epstein.
More than 100 democratic socialist elected officials, staffers, and organizers from across the US met in New Orleans for the How We Win conference last weekend. The gathering demonstrated American socialists’ growing influence and confidence.
After Benjamin Netanyahu bizarrely tweeted a Jacobin story about Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak last week, Israeli politicos are denouncing us as antisemitic conspiracy theorists — without engaging with what’s in the story.
New revelations show that Jeffrey Epstein’s interests extended far beyond money and sex with underage girls. Epstein used his influence to push aggressive solutions to geopolitical problems, particularly against America’s and Israel’s traditional adversaries.
Newly released files show Jeffrey Epstein claiming to have been involved in Ehud Barak’s 2019 election challenge to Benjamin Netanyahu. It’s well past time to ask questions about the billionaire pedophile’s links to Israel.
We know that Donald Trump was extremely close with an incredibly prolific child sex abuser, Jeffrey Epstein. But recent revelations raise another question: Was Trump’s association with Epstein used by Israel to amass political leverage and influence US policy?
Donald Trump and the GOP say they’re taking the cost-of-living crisis seriously. The reality: they’re making it far worse.
It’s not just Zohran Mamdani — socialist candidates won municipal elections across the US last week. Like the New York mayor-elect, many of them focused their campaigns on affordability and relied on impressive grassroots volunteer operations.
Centrists have been declaring the socialist movement dead for years in spite of the victories it has racked up. But Zohran Mamdani’s win makes its rise undeniable.
Thanks to its tenant unions, Los Angeles County could be on the verge of enacting an eviction moratorium to hit back against Donald Trump’s “mass deportation” raids.
We read Graham Platner’s whole Reddit archive. The vilification of the Maine candidate for Senate doesn’t square with what he actually wrote in his posts.
Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.” But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.
Argentina’s libertarian president, Javier Milei, is the lucky winner of $40 billion that Donald Trump managed to conjure from thin air. Less lucky are the Americans who rely on the government programs Trump has gutted to be able to “save” that sum.
