Richard D. Wolff Courtesy Counterpunch.org Facebook Twitter Reddit Bluesky Email The SCOTUS rejection of Trump’s tariffs changes little. The empire’s decline persists, and with it, its extension to the US economy as a whole. And it will continue whether or not Trump finds another law to use to justify tariffs (at higher, lower, or the […]

Dr. Alon Ben-Meir Trump’s rhetoric and policies on immigration and citizenship consistently elevate white, especially European, migrants while targeting non-white communities for exclusion, removal, or diminished political power.

Dr. Alon Ben-Meir As the US-Iran negotiations regarding the latter’s nuclear program and the threat of attacking Iran loom high, both the Trump administration and Iran ought to consider very carefully the potentially colossal regional repercussions if they do not reach an agreement.

Dr. Alon Ben-Meir I beg every Republican official to take a moment and ask themselves: Am I truly living up to my oath of office to defend and protect the Constitution?

Dr. Alon Ben-Meir When a government violates democratic principles, large-scale peaceful demonstrations can send a strong message. It’s a way for people to collectively demonstrate their commitment to democratic values and advocate for change without resorting to violence.
