Gaza's resistance: A historical perspective on the war and its aftermath. The problem with political analysis is that it often lacks historical perspective and is mostly limited to recent events.

The problem with political analysis is that it often lacks historical perspective and is mostly limited to recent events. The current analysis of the Israeli war on Gaza falls victim to this narrow thinking.

Trump's executive orders rolled back civil rights and workers' rights and greenlighted fraud. He also fired at least 17 key watchdogs—independent Inspectors General at various agencies.

Trump downplays the bird flu epidemic, and egg prices across the country soar. Trump and Vance have fallen silent on the cost of living. Prices are climbing, and shortages are becoming more common on supermarket shelves.

One of the first observable impacts of the new Trump administration is the administration’s attack on public information. Agency communications are gagged, federal workers are encouraged to snitch on each other regarding DEI rollbacks, investigations are sealed, and we are told that somehow, Pete....

Prime Palestinian real estate: Trump's proposed Gaza 'clean out' mixes policy and profits. The President's advocacy of ethnic cleansing is a wake-up call to anyone who thought he'd be better than Biden on Palestine.

President Donald Trump proved that he’s no peacemaker when it comes to Israel’s genocidal war. He floated the idea of forcible expulsion for Palestinians Saturday, saying that Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab nations should take in refugees to “just clean out” the destroyed Gaza Strip and creat...

The Auschwitz death marches: 80 years after the frozen hell. The death marches from Auschwitz-Birkenau were a final act of N**i barbarism, born of desperation as the Soviet Red Army closed in. They began on January 17 1945 and stand out for their sheer scale and the horrific conditions endured by the prisoners.

'Bosses back in command': Capitalist oligarchy fuels new Trump government. The new administration is state monopoly capitalism on steroids, but politically, it also represents the beginning of a descent toward fascism.

“One of the most ‘democratic’ republics in the world is the United States of America, yet nowhere is the power of capital, the power of a handful of multimillionaires over the whole of society, so crude and so openly corrupt as in America.

'Castlevania: Nocturne' season 2 review: Revolution comes to dark fantasy animation. Those who want the same old story-beats with characters who all fit a particular look will no doubt disparage the adaptation as being "woke" or "DEI." Don't listen to them.

One of the beautiful things about animation is that it can often realize concepts on screen that live-action is still too limited to do justice. It’s one of the many reasons adult animation can give us dark, fantastical concepts with the literal stroke of a pencil.

Sheinbaum's quiet revolution in Mexico. Despite major fiscal hurdles and challenges from the north thanks to Trump's return, new winds of change and rescue are now blowing in Mexico.

As immigrant roundups begin, the judge freezes Trump's order denying birthright citizenship. Meanwhile, the Republican-run Congress magnified the threat by passing a GOP "messaging" bill, the Laken-Riley Act. It turns state Attorneys General and the officers they control loose on the migrants, too, with even fewer restraints.

KERN COUNTY, Calif.—Alejandra, an undocumented farmworker in California’s lush Central Valley, kept her five-year-old son home from school even before Donald Trump was inaugurated as president, as word spread through the fields and farms of the key agricultural region of ICE immigration agents.....

California fires prove the reality of a climate crisis driven by global warming. Denial by the fossil fuel industry and its apologists in government allows disasters to pile up.

The recent California wildfire outbreak is merely the latest in an episodic sequence of worsening disasters. These calamities, however, seem insufficient to dispel the willful ignorance of the fossil fuel industry and its cabal of climate deniers.

Mass deportation policies terrorize hard-working people, keeping no one safe. Among other things, Trump dispatches the U.S. military to the border where there is no "national emergency" underway.

People's World in conversation with Layana Khoury of Al-Ittihad

Join us as we sit down with Layana Khoury, an editor from Al-Ittihad (the Union), the Communist Party of Israel's Arabic-language newspaper - the most widely read Arabic language Marxist daily in the world - to discuss resisting genocide & occupation from inside Israel. Along with its sister publication, the Hebrew-language Zo Haderekh (This is the Way), Al-Ittihad is operating under the most difficult and repressive conditions. They face constant political attacks from the Netanyahu government and the military censorship of the IDF as they attempt to report from the frontlines of the war in Gaza, build resistance to the occupation, and shine a spotlight on the peace movement inside Israel. ------------------------------------------------- People's World takes sides.
