War
Military Spouses and the True Costs of our Forever Wars

Military Spouses and the True Costs of our Forever Wars

Tomdispatch

By Andrea Mazzarino | – (Tomdispatch.com) – There is some incongruity between my role as an editor of a book about the costs of America’s wars and my identity as a military spouse. I’m deeply disturbed at the scale of human suffering caused by those conflicts and yet I’ve unintentionally contributed to the war effort […]

Foreign Powers are Buying American Policy and it is all Perfectly Legal

Foreign Powers are Buying American Policy and it is all Perfectly Legal

Tomdispatch

By Ben Freeman | – (Tomdispatch.com) – Foreign influence in America is the topic du jour. From the impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s request that a foreign power investigate a political opponent to the indictment of associates of his personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, for illegally funneling foreign money into U.S. elections, the nation has been […]

How Big Oil Committed the Greatest Scam in History and Smeared Climate Science

How Big Oil Committed the Greatest Scam in History and Smeared Climate Science

Tomdispatch

By Naomi Oreskes | – (Tomdispatch.com) – It’s a tale for all time. What might be the greatest scam in history or, at least, the one that threatens to take history down with it.

Drone Strikes and Tears

Tomdispatch

By Allegra Harpootlian | – (Tomdispatch.com) – Think back to the last time you cried at work. Did the tears come after your boss sent you a curt email?

A Trumpian Future for our Kids: A Hot, Sweltering 1984

Tomdispatch

By Frida Berrigan | – ( Tomdispatch.com ) – Okay, I’ll admit it. Sometimes I can’t take the bad news. It’s too much. It’s so extra, as the kids like to say. When I hit that wall of hopelessness and anxiety so many of us have become familiar with, I take what I think of […]

Immigration
The Problem with Policing US Borders is that they Extend throughout the Planet

The Problem with Policing US Borders is that they Extend throughout the Planet

Tomdispatch

By Todd Miller | – (Tomdispatch.com) – The driver of the passenger van pulled onto the shoulder of the road, looked back, and said, “There’s an immigration checkpoint up ahead. Does everyone have their papers?” We were just north of the Guatemalan border, outside the town of Ciudad Hidalgo in the Mexican state of Chiapas. […]

More Money, Fewer Jobs: Why Lavishing Billions on the Pentagon won’t Help Employment

Tomdispatch

By Nia Harris, Cassandra Stimpson, and Ben Freeman | – (Tomdispatch.com ) – A Marilyn has once again seduced a president. This time, though, it’s not a movie star; it’s Marillyn Hewson, the head of Lockheed Martin, the nation’s top defense contractor and the largest weapons producer in the world. In the last month, Donald […]

Tomdispatch

By Adam Hochschild | – (Tomdispatch.com) – Along rivers prone to overflowing, people sometimes talk of preparing for a 100-year flood — a dangerous surge of muddy, debris-filled water so overwhelming it appears only once a century. In our political world, we are now seeing a 100-year flood of toxic debris. The sludge washing ashore […]
