Iranian academic and media commentator faces deportation as supporters warn of political retaliation against anti-war voices Joshua Scheer Inspired by the growing campaign to free Yousof Azizi, I looked deeper into his case—and what unfolds is not an anomaly, but a warning. This is what the erosion of academic freedom looks like in real time. A scholar taken. A…

Cohabiting couples with children are sought for a “marriage bootcamp,” ads on radio and social media would announce. If they make it through, they’d have a communal wedding at camp’s end and be matched with a mentor couple to help the bond stick. They’d even be paid $5,000 on their wedding day to help encourage family formation. While the above scenario sounds like a marriage-minded reality TV series, it’s actually an idea from “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years,” a report put out by the Heritage Foundation on January 8. That sort of…

One of the most persistent and misleading fallacies in politics is that successive presidents represent a clear and decisive change in the direction of the country, especially when they are from different parties. Republican Richard Nixon barely squeaking into office in a tight three-way race meant that Democrat Lyndon B. Johnson and “the New Deal Coalition that had dominated presidential politics for 36 years” were as beaten down as hippies at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, right? And when Ronald Reagan glided to a surprising landslide in 1980 over Jimmy Carter, it meant that the forces of free-spending,…

In our society, we do not push psychopaths off the ice when nobody is looking. In our society, we let them rule the world. Caitlin Johnstone If there were a thousand people living on an island, and one of them began making life miserable for everyone else, there would soon be 999 people living on the island. How strange, then, that a few oligarchs and empire managers get to push around an entire planet full of humans. I mean, right now we’re all sitting around hoping a few sociopaths in Washington and Tel Aviv don’t collapse the global economy…

Despite the publicly espoused hubris of the Trump administration, its war of aggression against Iran has been a costly embarrassment, replete with failures. Yet its continuation is still being actively encouraged by Israel. This is because the Israeli goals remain unfulfilled, while Washington’s strategic interests are not a consideration in Tel Aviv. When US President Donald Trump declared via Truth Social that a two-week ceasefire was being implemented to allow negotiations with Iran, the typical bravado that has characterized the administration’s attitudes toward the war prevailed. Both US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Trump claimed “victory.” In reality, none…
