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?
Their ideas have been tried over and over again. Every time is met with disaster, yet they want to do it again.

​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.
Paul Jay and host Barry Stevens analyze rising progressive movements, from Mamdani's victory in New York City to Sanders and AOC drawing massive crowds in red states, and why working-class consciousness has always been the real threat to American elites. They discuss why...
Today we uncover the global plot to install "christian nationalism" - it feels ridiculous even writing that sentence, but I mean there's no other way to describe it. Strap in!
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.
In Cold War Two, the USA is pressuring countries to cut ties with China and recognize Taiwan separatists. Donald Trump blatantly meddled in Honduras' 2025 election and backed a political coup to put in power right-wing oligarch Nasry "Tito" Asfura, who strongly supports...
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...
Ronald Reagan is remembered as the "Great Communicator," the man who brought optimism back to America. But behind the smile was a ruthless counter-revolution.
Rather than launching a military invasion that would provoke public backlash and congressional scrutiny, Trump is doubling down on something more insidious.
The US government is seizing oil tankers and stealing Venezuela's crude. Donald Trump boasted that the USA will "keep" the oil and the ships. This is piracy. Ben Norton explains how Washington is blatantly violating international law in its imperialist war on Venezuela.

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.
I'm sick of using a website that rewards white supremacy, is swarmed with bots, and doesn't even work. So as of today, I'm no longer using it. You can find us literally anywhere else. And if you want to support a candidate who puts their money where their mouth is, chip in at...
This is a 60 Minutes Story about how the Trump administration violated our constitution and people's basic human dignity. Acting like this does nothing to make us safer, and in fact only makes it more likely that American citizens are put at risk.
This epic four hour doumentary explores the "ingredients" that contributed to the rise of fascism, focusing on Germany and Italy. It argues that fascism wasn't a simple anomaly but emerged from a complex mix of historical, social, and psychological factors.
“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?
Donald Trump imposed sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and demands that the Hague modify its founding charter to guarantee the US impunity for its war crimes. The United States claims its geopolitical adversaries are "rogue states", but overwhelming evidence...
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.
Neoliberalism – a business-backed ideology committed to cutting taxes, busting trade unions, gutting government regulations, and privatizing public services – is the dominant political and economic philosophy of our time. Yet despite capturing both major parties and shaping...
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.
This is Peter Thiel - a major player in Silicon Valley who wants to transform humanity. But what does he actually want? What’s his problem with democracy? And is there an endgame? - fern
Over the past year, Silicon Valley has gone fully mask off in favor of fascism and oligarchy. Gone are the days of the Valley’s veneer of idealistic futurism, where technology was supposed to level the playing field and make us more connected than ever.
In many parts of the world we're living it, seeing it rise, meanwhile the establishment is unable or unwilling to do anything about it. There is also a lack of grassroots organizing or a coherent leftist strategy to counter it.
Donald Trump imposed a naval blockade on Venezuela and admitted that he wants to take the country's oil and give it to US corporations: "They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out, and we want it back". Ben Norton explains how...
As American hegemony transforms into something that will be determined by “the forces of historical contingency,” how can regular people fight back against the increasingly violent Empire?
Hunger Strikers are Dying for Gaza & no one’s allowed to talk about It.
​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.
