Netanyahu’s White House Visit: A Bitter Battle Within Trump’s Base

Netanyahu's White House Visit this Tuesday reignites divisions within Trump's political coalition. Prominent America First figures worry that the Israeli leader could pressure Trump into a more aggressive Iran policy. This meeting marks the first between Trump and Netanyahu since their coordinated strikes on Iran. Washington now weighs diplomacy versus a return to military action. For many anti-war Trump supporters, the visit sounds the alarm. It could draw the United States deeper into another Middle East conflict on Israel's behalf.

Trump’s Efforts to Politicize the American Army: A Dangerous Turn in U.S. Leadership?

In a chilling development that underscores the fragility of American democratic norms, President Donald J. Trump has escalated his assault on institutional integrity by interweaving personal vanity projects with national defense and diplomacy, a trajectory that epitomizes Trump's efforts to politicize the American Army. In recent days, Trump unveiled plans for a new class of U.S. Navy battleships named after himself — a marked departure from tradition and a disturbing sign of egocentric governance that prioritizes spectacle over strategy. At the same time, his administration has recalled nearly 30 career ambassadors and senior diplomats, stripping away years of professional expertise…

On the eve of a possible war with Venezuela, Trump’s popularity is collapsing, heightening anxiety across households, communities, and nations alike.

Gaza and the Anglo-Saxon Colonial Nightmare: Tony Blair, the GITA, and Imperialism’s Humanitarian Charade

By Ron Jacobs One of the most powerful conversations I've had this century took place in Washington Square in New York City on September 11, 2001—as the sky bore the acrid scent of a world that had just turned upside down. My friend and I were there, stunned, in the midst of the collective shock. A few blocks away, smoking concrete, flames, rubble: the material embodiment of a global trauma. Within earshot, a group of young people were discussing. One of them asked, "What should we do with the perpetrators?" I replied, "Find them, arrest them, try them." Another retorted…
