“Why Wouldn’t There Be a Regime Change???”

5 days ago | jacobin.com | Richard Silverstein

The other shoe has dropped. Donald Trump has ended the will-he-won’t-he mystery of joining Israel’s war against Iran. Always one to choose the grand gesture, the US president has let loose the dogs of war, with B-2 bombers dropping six bunker-buster bombs on all three known Iranian nuclear sites (Natanz, Isfahan, and Fordo). US forces also launched Tomahawk missiles at unspecified Iranian targets.
Don’t Lose Sight of the Oligarchy

The “No Kings” protests last weekend were a landmark in the burgeoning movement against the destructive and authoritarian second Trump administration. The scale of the rallies was remarkable. Estimates vary from two to six million protesters around the country. Many of the protesters were older and more politically moderate than the typical attendees at other rallies.
Labor Could Swing New York’s Election to Zohran Mamdani

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Eric Blanc

Zohran Mamdani has shocked the political establishment by turning the New York City mayoral race into a nail-biter. How has a thirty-three-year-old Muslim socialist gotten this close to heading the world’s most economically and politically important city? Some pundits have pointed to Zohran’s charisma and brilliant use of social media. Others have stressed the strength of his volunteer canvassing army as well as the popularity of his policies to lower living costs. All those things are true.
The Bad Argument Against Zohran Mamdani’s Free Bus Proposal

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Matt Bruenig

In his campaign for the mayorship of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has proposed replacing fares for the city’s buses with taxes. The reaction to this proposal has been really bizarre and mostly based on a mistaken understanding of how to think about government revenue.
Materialists Tries to Update the Rom-Com for the Tinder Generation

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Eileen Jones

Celine Song, writer-director of the thoughtful, poignant, highly praised, Best Picture–nominated drama Past Lives (2023), has come out with her second film, a romantic comedy called Materialists. Song’s trying to be thoughtful about that too — the way the silly, swoony genre as a whole works, as well as the way the real-life perils of contemporary romance play out. But how to get the swoony and the cruelly crass together in one film?
Like George W. Bush, Donald Trump Is Lying His Way Into War

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Branko Marcetic

For the past two decades, disastrous Middle East wars have been synonymous with the name Bush. The current US president seems determined to now make them synonymous with the name Trump.
Dems Are Being Pushed to Support Crypto for Political Gain

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Freddy Brewster

A private group chat of Democratic Party operatives and crypto industry advocates has been secretly coordinating to push Democratic senators to support major cryptocurrency-friendly legislation up for a vote on Tuesday. In the chat, they admitted that while “Trump’s corruption is manifesting dramatically in crypto,” it would be “political suicide” for Democrats to reject doing the industry’s bidding, even if they have reservations about the impacts on consumers and the financial system.
The New York Times Is Wrong on Zohran Mamdani

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Nick French

Few would have predicted a year ago that a week out from New York City’s Democratic primary, a thirty-three-year-old democratic socialist state assemblymember named Zohran Mamdani would be in striking distance of the city’s mayoralty, closing in on disgraced former New York governor Andrew Cuomo. But here we are.
To Get Abundance, We Need to Discipline Capital

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Brian Callaci

Amid the mutual recriminations inside the Democratic Party about how Americans could have elected Donald Trump to a second term, one theory has risen to prominence: President Joe Biden’s industrial policy, codified in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act, and CHIPS Act, failed to go far or move fast enough to bring tangible improvements in the lives of the electorate.
Marc Andreessen’s Manifesto for Rule by the Few

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Christopher Marquis

Marc Andreessen has found a clever justification for dismissing democratic oversight of technology. Over the past year, the billionaire venture capitalist has repeatedly invoked a century-old idea from the German sociologist Robert Michels: the “Iron Law of Oligarchy.” Michels’s theory holds that complex organizations such as a government — even those founded on democratic ideals — inevitably become dominated by a small elite.
