As 2023 ends and 2024 begins, I’d like to take the opportunity to thank billions of you, in America and around the world, for your service. No, I’m not talking to military veterans — or at least not to military veterans AS military veterans.

There are Human Beings in Palestine

Against Erasure (Haymarket Books) is a book, edited by Teresa Aranguren and Sandra Barrilaro, that presents a pictorial history of Palestinians.

War and “Democracy”: An Appeal to Self-Interest

By way of marking the western date for Christendom’s most holy celebration, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd J.

With the Trump Disqualification, Ballot Access Barrier Chickens Come Home to Roost

On December 19, Colorado’s Supreme Court deemed former president Donald Trump ineligible to appear on the state’s 2024 Republican presidential primary ballot. In a 4-3 ruling, the court held that Trump had engaged in “insurrection” and was therefore disqualified from returning to the presidency per the 14th Amendment’s “insurrection” clause.
