“No Kings” Protests Against Trump’s Authoritarianism: Millions of Americans Rally Nationwide

The “No Kings”  protests against Trump’s authoritarianism heralds a sociopolitical maelstrom of unprecedented scale in modern U.S. history. This movement constitutes a legitimate emergence rejecting the monarchical logic and rhetoric increasingly associated with Trump. It is far from marginal—organizers report actions in all fifty states, from New York to Los Angeles. The stakes are unequivocal: defend democracy against the shadow of unfettered executive power. Once again, the “No Kings” protests symbolize a warning to a presidency that appears to be gravitating toward despotism. Historical Origins and Symbolism The slogan “No Kings” directly echoes the foundational break of the American Revolution: the rejection of monarchy and…

Trump and the Justice System: The Comey Affair, a Presidential Attack on the Integrity of the American Judicial System

America finds itself at a judicial crossroads where its fundamental principles are wavering under the weight of presidential authority. For several days, an unprecedented institutional crisis has been shaking the country: the Trump administration is no longer content to govern; it is using the justice system to settle its personal scores. This article provides a detailed account of the James Comey affair, analyzes the executive branch's strategies, and reveals the alarming implications for our democracy. Comey's Indictment! On September 25, 2025, a federal grand jury for the Eastern District of Virginia indicted James B. Comey, former FBI Director, on two…

Trump and Academic Censorship: How Pro-Palestine Voices Are Being Muzzled in the United States

Over the past month, irrefutable evidence has confirmed Donald Trump's strategy to muzzle pro-Palestine academic voices through federal funding cuts. We will examine how these measures are part of a broader logic of ideological control, how they threaten academic freedom, and how they reveal persistent complicity in Israeli atrocities. Finally, we will propose ways to resist this intellectual retreat by glorifying the critical mission of the university. The Coercive Logic of the "Academic Compact" The Trump administration recently proposed a "Compact for Academic Excellence" linking access to grant funding to ideological reforms. This document called for institutional neutrality, controlled admissions,…

Venezuela Stands Defiant: Trump’s Imperial Gambit and Debunking the US ‘Anti-Drug’ Myth

The conundrum for the United States in Venezuela is the exigent non-surrender of a colossal segment of the population. According to some observers and certain reports, the US military is steadily intensifying its actions against Caracas. Last Saturday, it targeted another boat off the coast of Venezuela, claiming drug trafficking. Gustavo Petro, president of Colombia, has become a vocal critic of Donald Trump's actions. He condemned the targeting of the boat, which caused the deaths of eleven people. He called it "the murder of poor Caribbean youth." Petro rejected the US claim of a war on drugs. He insisted that…

Against All Odds: How Iran Emerged Victorious in the 12-Day U.S.-Israeli War

In this analysis, I strive to proffer a realistic examination of the two wars waged upon Iran—the eight-year war between Iraq and Iran back in the 1980s and then the twelve-day conflict in June 2025—from a US strategic perspective. I will endeavor to demonstrate why, despite the preponderant material power of the adversaries, Iran emerged triumphant in both cases; I shall explore the catalysts and real determinants of asymmetric warfare, its economic and psychological repercussions, and the systemic factors behind the inability of the great powers to adjust to this dynamic. The Geopolitical Context and External Support During the Iran-Iraq…

Trump and the New McCarthyism: When American History Becomes the Enemy of the State

It all started with a short text of less than a thousand words. Вut this presidential order shook the globe's biggest cultural institution, the Smithsonian. Donald Trump started a campaign of ideological purification under the guise of "restoring the truth."He wasn't just targeting an administration; he was trying to assail the very history of a country. Behind the patriotic phrases, Trump's crusade against history was already taking shape. The White House aimed to "sanitize" narratives considered divisive and to erase the history of collective pain and the American colonial past, following a logic that transforms shame into pride while denying…

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…
