Ontario’s latest workers’ compensation bill restores some long-overdue benefits with one hand while quietly dismantling core protections with the other. In doing so, it’s undermining the century-old bargain at the heart of the workers’ compensation system.

Recent US intelligence documents hype up the threat of “anti-tech violent extremist activity” against data centers. Casting protests as ideologically extreme is a shortcut to silencing critics of AI and removing democratic constraints on Big Tech.

The Soviet collapse in 1991 was so sudden and comprehensive that it came to seem inevitable. New work by historians of the USSR asks whether the system’s crisis could have ended in reform of its structures rather than disintegration.

The Right recently lost its mind over the socialist proposal to get rid of the US Senate. But socialists are right to call for the abolition of a deeply undemocratic political institution.

Right-wing and centrist pundits, and even House Speaker Mike Johnson, have rushed to denounce the Democratic Socialists of America’s new “Workers Deserve More” platform. But the platform’s central insights are hard to dispute.

Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey is a massive hit — and nearly everyone on the Right, from Elon Musk to the Daily Wire, is furious. Because what 21st-century conservatives really want is a profound cheapening of the Western civilization they claim to revere.

Structurelessness, the post-Corbyn dispersal, and the question the Green Party is now being asked to answer

What is the dastardly conspiracy that the Democratic Socialists of America stands accused of by defenders of the status quo? That sinister, underhanded, authoritarian tactic of running on popular policies and winning elections.

Controversy about the meanings of antisemitism, especially in relation to Israel, has become one of the major flash points in contemporary politics. Mark Mazower’s invaluable history of the concept deserves to be a touchstone in the debate.

Claire Valdez argues that worker power is built through organizing unions on the shop floor. Days after winning New York’s 7th District Democratic primary, she returned to the labor fights she says elected office should serve.

With Pete Hegseth's claim that the war against Iran has now cost the US $37.5 billion, I wanted to tie this spending to the war against American workers, looking at the period from 1947 to 2005 in great detail, and general detail thereafter. The elites, under both the Democrats and Republicans, are killing us: from 2001-2005, under W, over 80% of all American families lost income! Well worth your consideration!

The US tech giants have achieved an unprecedented concentration of economic control, forcing other firms, American or not, to pay intellectual rents. These cloud hegemons are boosting US global power even as it declines in other fields.

A wage hike is desperately needed for the American working class, but higher wages can’t pay the bills if you want full-time hours and can’t get them. Legislation mandating a right to full-time work could fix this.

Daniel Tatlow-Devally is one of five activists on trial in Germany over a direct action targeting Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems. In an interview from jail, he explains why he doesn’t regret it, and how the case has highlighted complicity with Israel.
