Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan have written a weekly column for nearly two decades. This is their final dispatch, reflecting on the challenges and opportunities in people-centered journalism.
Trump, his sycophants, and the billionaires behind him know that with the coming midterm elections, 2026 could be their last unconstrained chance to suppress democracy and siphon off America’s wealth for themselves. So, what can you do?
​I hope you can look back on 2025 as the year movements for peace and justice freed political prisoners, slowed the war machine, and helped turn the public against endless wars.
In Texas, North Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and beyond, grassroots resistance to ICE is growing.
On Thursday, December 25th, 2025, during Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians, 168 students graduated from medical school, in Gaza. Wearing their white coats, they stood in front of the ruined façade of what was formerly Gaza’s largest hospital, the Al-Shifa Medical...
Knowing him for over half a century, I am confident that Noam’s hate for sexism, misogyny, racism, exploitation and fascism didn’t lose even a tiny fraction of its passion and clarity due to his “time spent with” Epstein and/or Bannon.
​We are witnessing the reemergence of a dangerous repetition: one where the pattern of assertion becomes the prelude to action, and where action can lead to irreversible consequences.
If Jesus were born in modern America, under a government obsessed with surveillance, crackdowns on undocumented immigrants, religious nationalism, and absolute obedience to a head-of-state rather than the rule of law, would his message of peace, mercy, and resistance to...
Rather than launching a military invasion that would provoke public backlash and congressional scrutiny, Trump is doubling down on something more insidious.
In Jesus’ own words, Christianity is a faith where the first shall be last and the last shall be first. It is meant not for the rich, the satisfied, and the powerful. Rather it is first intended for the poor, the hungry, the downtrodden, and the rejected.
​The sicknesses that caused the Iraq War and the Wall Street crash are alive and well in American society, mutating from administration to administration.
The proposal does not treat detainees “as people but just things to be warehoused like Amazon packages,” said one critic.
Christmas, once a time to gather, reflect, and renew our obligations to one another, and the social rituals that once cultivated empathy and reinforced civic responsibility, have been reduced to a spectacle of distraction, dead trees, credit card receipts, and gift wrapping.
“Politicians should not be rewarded for enabling a genocide nor in perpetuating Israel's periodic bombing attacks on Palestinians.”
The exploding popularity of progressive politicians and the policies they embrace is not an anomaly. It's a signpost.
How can Washington claim the right to seize or blow up vessels, disrupt maritime trade, and kill civilian boaters—while bombing Yemen and condemning its de facto Houthi government for intercepting ships in the Red Sea to counter Israel’s genocide in Gaza?
Behind the sensational headlines and photos circulating online without context lies a more complex story—one that demands we distinguish between actual evidence of wrongdoing and politically motivated character assassination.
​Critics of state violence become most dangerous when they directly jeopardize the state’s capacity to inflict violence. The most common and tangible way that happens is when soldiers refuse to kill.
The only thing that definitively clears suspicion for ICE is biometric identification. The presumption is that people may lie, documents may be forged, but biometric scans are objective and certain. People are guilty until an algorithm proves them innocent.
The true strength lies in the careful combination of these tools into multi-layered, living systems—creating the conditions not just for protection, but for long-term flourishing.
We hear it constantly: "You're too harsh on Democrats. You're helping Republicans by criticizing our side. Now is not the time—we need unity against the rising threat of fascism."
Squeezed domestic spending and extravagant military spending have widened inequality, with dire consequences for democracy.
Our ask isn't that you become a progressive. It's for both loyal Democrats and loyal Republicans to stop defending their party uncritically and to challenge the rot in both parties, especially the one they think will be more responsive to their opposition.
​If you care about children; if you say you’re “pro-life;” if you consider yourself a good or moral person, you should care about how the US treats all children.
​When military members have claimed such power and refused blind military obedience—during the Vietnam War and the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq—it has had a significant impact on this country’s politics and policies, as well as on individual lives.
​We are drifting from a system based on legal principles to one in which the will of a single leader determines who is guilty and who is innocent, and who lives and who dies.
If Obama could kill a 16-year-old American boy without accountability, why wouldn’t Trump believe he has the same power to snuff out the lives of civilians with no due process?
One expert said the Trump White House is "replaying the Bush administration's greatest hits as farce."
The door is wide open to try something new.
One critic called Trump's social media post following the murders "the most disturbing, deranged, and demented post you'll ever see from a US president."
Taxing the rich should bring a smile to your face. It certainly brings one to mine.
Across the country campaigns that meld community budget goals with participatory democratic practices have gained ground. Seattle and Nashville offer two examples.
More than 100 democratic socialist elected officials, staffers, and organizers from across the US met in New Orleans for the How We Win conference last weekend. The gathering demonstrated American socialists’ growing influence and confidence.
What if Gaza agrees to surrender its weapons? Will Israel leave the Palestinians alone? Will the prospects of a just peace and Palestinian freedom increase exponentially?
​A new Department of Justice memo is another giant step towards authoritarianism; however, establishment media didn’t see it that way.
​When the state hunts its most essential—and most exploited—workers to meet deportation quotas, the myth of border security collapses.
Without a full and honest accounting of the Harris campaign and the Democratic Party’s myriad failures, there can be little realistic hope of defeating Trumpist authoritarianism in the future.
I posted a photo of Border Patrol agents pinning a man to the ground in a headlock – and the internet made up every excuse in the book to defend the assault.
To revel in the image of human beings being blown apart is to confess a kind of moral numbness that civilizations acquire only in their final stages of decay.
The president's latest National Security Strategy memorandum treats the freedom to coerce others as the essence of US sovereignty. It is an ominous document that will—if allowed to stand—come back to haunt the United States.
Resistance to ICE and the Trump regime gets creative…drawing on protest traditions from around the world, and starting some new ones.
Declaring unilaterally that a war exists (when it doesn't) and then bombing unarmed civilian boats in international waters is inherently illegal, regardless of whether anyone is killed by the first, second, or tenth bomb. That’s an act of piracy and murder, not a legal use of...
The moment we allow governments to kill without trial, we step out of the rule of law and into barbarism.
Under international law, executing people outside a genuine armed conflict is an extrajudicial killing. Nothing about these strikes meets the legal threshold for war. But if we don't hold the president to account, a war is exactly what we may get.
Saving the country from autocracy requires recognizing—and then overcoming—the chokehold that Democratic leaders have on the party.
“Invasion” and “replacement” narratives function as cover stories for the corporate plunder of the working class, turning justified anger away from elites and toward scapegoats.
Over the weekend, Bernie Sanders spoke to a gathering of over a hundred democratic socialist elected officials. Here’s what he said.
Libertarian socialism is a political tradition that argues real freedom requires both personal liberty and democratic control over the economic institutions that shape our lives.
Reason Magazine presents itself as a courageous outsider “pushing back against socialism,” but its real and consistent function is far more familiar: it operates as an ideological shield for concentrated private power while marketing itself as anti-authoritarian.
Militarism must be exposed for what it is: savage, medieval madness.
Steve Rose's framing of Scott Galloway as a kind of enlightened guide to “the crisis of men” is a useful illustration of how contemporary media systems manage dissent.
If we’re serious about understanding what makes a society flourish - or disintegrate - history offers plenty of lessons. The idea that hatred, exclusion, and authoritarian nationalism could lead to “greatness” is not only unsupported by the historical record - it is...
Framing “Operation Southern Spear” as a battle against “narco-terrorists” is a desperate attempt to commit new violence using old excuses, one which ignores the security state’s history of creating its own enemies.
"These corporations and their partners continue to sell the public a comforting lie to hide the hard truth: that we simply have to stop producing so much plastic," said one campaigner.
Galloway describes real symptoms facing young men, but his analysis leaves the political economy that produced those symptoms out of view. To understand the crisis, we have to step outside the self-help narrative and confront the system that created these conditions in the...
Critics say a public grocery program would limit consumer freedom, but unlike corporate monopolies, it expands it by adding competition, giving shoppers another choice and pushing private retailers to keep prices in check.
The political issue of complicity with genocide will not go away. And that's a good thing.
Errol Schweizer, a former national vice president of grocery at Whole Foods, argues in Jacobin that the private sector is responsible for ever-rising grocery prices and can’t be relied on to fix the problem. Our food system needs a public option.
A look inside the strategy, structure, and mass organizing powering the Left’s most ambitious municipal project in America.
