Mar 22, 2026 - Geometry of US Imperial Aggression on Venezuela

By Paramjit Singh

US President Donald Trump has made it increasingly explicit that his administration governs in the interests of the US industrial-financial-military complex rather than the well-being of ordinary Americans. His open assertions of US claims over territories and strategic assets signal a deliberate abandonment of diplomatic ambiguity in favour of overt imperial assertion. The recent US military assault on Venezuela represents the most concrete manifestation of this turn, constituting the most dramatic escalation of US intervention in the region since the 1989 invasion of Panama.

Mar 19, 2026 - MAGA Aesthetics and Fascist Power: Spectacles of White Supremacy

By Henry A. Giroux

The United States is not merely awash in brutalizing and murderous acts of state-sanctioned violence. It is being restructured by them. The killings of Rachel Good and Alex Pretti are not aberrations or tragic mistakes; they belong to a longer and darker history that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) once named with chilling precision. In earlier periods of American turmoil, such killings were called lynchings, acts "carried out by lawless mobs, although police officers did participate, under the pretext of justice." Today, this violence extends well beyond the bullet and the baton.

Mar 15, 2026 - Twin Threats to Public Medicare

By Ontario Health Coalition

The threat to the future of Public Medicare in Ontario and across the country is at an all-time high. After passing legislation to privatize hospitals, the United Conservative Party (UCP) - under the leadership of Premier Danielle Smith in Alberta - passed "Bill 11" in December. The new law creates the legal framework to privatize healthcare, ending single-tier Public Medicare as a national project, enabling doctors to charge patients directly for healthcare and bill the public health system at the same time. Central to the plan, the law creates a market of private for-profit health insurance companies. Doctors choose which patients are charged and for what services. If patients can't pay, they have to try to find a doctor who won't charge (or wait/go without care). Bottom line: this legislation is the most direct and grievous attack on Public Medicare in Canada since its inception.

Mar 13, 2026 - Trolling the Law Books to Find New Ways to Shut Down Critics of Israel

By Larry Haiven

Outrage and resistance are growing against a vicious campaign to muzzle political speech and action. That campaign aims to silence and punish public criticism of Israel's actions, especially the genocide in Gaza and the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. Desperate at their inability any longer to defend Israel's indefensible activities through traditional propaganda techniques (Hebrew word "Hasbara"), Canadian pro-Israel organizations and the lawyers who work with them have turned to attempting outright silencing (Hebrew word "Hashtakah"). We might call the instigators of Hashtakah Mashtikim.
