As the union reform organization Teamsters for a Democratic Union turns 50, we spoke to its cochairs about their work building rank-and-file power inside one of the most important unions in the United States.
The Freedom 250 mixed martial arts event at the White House will be a new low for the UFC and its president, Dana White.
After campaigning for Donald Trump in 2024, White is now turning the sport he runs into a propaganda prop for Trump’s 80th birthday.
Democrats say they are a bulwark against rising authoritarianism.
Why, then, did some of New York’s most powerful Democratic leaders like Gov. Kathy Hochul and Sen. Chuck Schumer march with war criminals and self-described fascists from Israel on May 31?
Ridesharing behemoth Uber has quietly amassed billions of dollars in a Hawaii-based shell company, ostensibly reserved for insurance liability.
This “reserve” could be used to sidestep taxes and fund Uber’s robotaxi projects.
Critics of French left-winger Jean-Luc Mélenchon have repeatedly claimed that he’s finished.
But as he launches his latest presidential campaign, his popularity among working-class and minority voters is again making him a real contender.
Yemen’s Ansar Allah movement has held back so far from full-scale involvement in the conflict between the US and its Iranian allies.
But with ceasefire talks seemingly close to collapse, Yemen could be drawn into any renewed outbreak of war.
Donald Trump’s policies, especially his war on Iran, are having the unintended effect of accelerating the very green transition project he scorns.
The Left must ensure the renewable energy build-out advances the well-being of the US working class.
In Luke Goebel’s much-hyped novel Kill Dick, a rich dropout is hooked on OxyContin, a drug manufactured by her lawyer dad’s biggest client.
Aptly set in a strange and soporific Los Angeles, it captures the degradation of American society and interior life.
Without full sovereignty, Puerto Rico is significantly constrained in its ability to design independent fiscal or monetary policies — leaving the island vulnerable to tourism investments that are becoming increasingly financialized.
Donald Trump’s authoritarianism has been enabled by long-standing antidemocratic features of the US state — the same features that have time and again blocked pro-worker policies.
The Left needs a serious program aimed at democratizing our political system.
