Alfred W. McCoy on the the causes and consequences of U.S. global decline. President Donald Trump with advisers at Mar-a-Lago, Palm Beach, Florida, on Feb. 28, the day they started the U.S.-Israeli aggression on Iran, (White House/Daniel Torok / Public Domain) By Alfred McCoyTomDispatch.com While Washington’s war with Iran drags on, month after month, without any end in sight, the world is witnessing the very real limits of U.S. global power. As President Donald Trump lurches repeatedly from threats of devastation to promises of peace, it’s becoming increasingly clear that U.S. military might is no longer capable of subduing even a…

By Victoria Law & Brian Dolinar This article was originally published by Truthout Twenty-two states have laws requiring prisons to provide free menstrual products, but not all of them do. “Why are they doing women like this? Are we the weaker sex?” Mishunda Davis told Truthout in a call from Logan Correctional Center, Illinois’s largest women’s prison. In 2022, the state passed legislation making menstrual products free for anyone incarcerated in Illinois prisons. Despite the law, Davis and others run out each month. Menstrual care — or the lack of it — gets little attention in prisons. Women who…
Photograph Source: Maryland GovPics – CC BY 4.0 Last month, the Democratic National Committee belatedly released its autopsy of the 2024 election that failed to explain why the party was crushed in the election. The Democrat’s report never mentioned a key issue that contributed to Donald Trump’s victory: Israel and Gaza. Fortunately for the Democrats, Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen has courageously stood up and lambasted the Democrats for their complicity in Israel’s genocidal campaign against the Palestinians as well as their continued support for unlimited military assistance to Israel. In an oped that appeared in the New York Times…

Joshua Scheer This conversation strikes close to home. My grandmother was part of the Bundist tradition discussed here, a movement that offered a radically different vision of Jewish life—one rooted in solidarity, workers’ rights, and the belief that oppression should be confronted rather than displaced onto others. While my own politics have evolved in different directions, that history remains deeply meaningful to me. It is also a reminder of how many Jewish voices, movements, and traditions have been pushed to the margins of public memory. The story of the Bund is not simply a forgotten chapter of Jewish history;…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered the military to intensify its attacks on Lebanon. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) has now been commanded to increase the strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon to deliver what Netanyahu has described as a “decisive blow” to the armed group. This order is problematic, as it came during the ongoing ceasefire between the Jewish state and the Lebanese government in Beirut. This ceasefire was agreed upon in mid-April after more than a month of fighting and was extended earlier in May. The escalation in obvious violation of the ceasefire could further complicate indirect talks…
Nuvpreet Kalra Last week, the Cuban Center for Molecular Immunology (CIM) announced a major health breakthrough with VAXIRA, a vaccine treatment for lung cancer. This is a remarkable achievement, made only more impressive by the fact that this is Cuba’s second lung cancer vaccine. The vaccine stops the progression of cancer by developing the patient’s immune system to fight off cancer cells. This has proven to significantly prolong people’s survival. Since 2013, the vaccine has been monitored, trialled, and tested on more than 1,300 patients. Over a ten-year period, patients survived a median of 76.6 months, with 20% of…
