Apr 15, 2026 - A European Peace and Security Agenda?

Yanis Varoufakis

Since the invasion of Ukraine, Europe has had only two options regarding its stance toward Russia: forever war or offering Russia a sensible peace and security pact. Europe's leaders chose forever war. They labeled Russian President Vladimir Putin the new Hitler. Once they had done so, it was impossible to envision any agreement with him. Like US President Donald Trump, who had hoped that shock-and-awe over Tehran would trigger an internal coup or rebellion that might topple the Islamic Republic, European leaders placed their bets on the prospect that the combination of tough sanctions on Russia and arms for Ukraine would topple Putin. It didn't.

Apr 2, 2026 - A Socialist Political Earthquake Strikes Seattle

By Yuly Chan

In recent years, municipal politics has emerged as an essential and viable arena for building socialist leadership and movements. In 2013, a group of socialists built an electoral strategy and a working-class-led movement to take on the corporate structure in Seattle, which is home to some of America's largest corporations, including Amazon, Boeing, Microsoft, and Starbucks. Jonathan Rosenblum's book, We're Coming for You and Your Rotten System: How Socialists Beat Amazon and Upended Big-City Politics (OR Books 2025) examines how this movement disrupted the political terrain in Seattle and raised the bar for what the Left can achieve, even under the most seemingly difficult times.
