Florence Pugh’s Thunderbolts* Shocks Marvel Back to Life

5 days ago | jacobin.com | Eileen Jones

Florence Pugh is so terrific in Thunderbolts* that she carries an entire Marvel movie on her shoulders. She manages this throughout the otherwise largely cumbersome Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) proceedings all while making you laugh at her dark dry wit and delight in her tough, no-nonsense fighting skills. You believe in her nearly suicidal depression and even tear up a bit at her most poignant moment in the film.
Michigan’s Trumpian Attorney General

5 days ago | jacobin.com | Branko Marcetic

A police crackdown on students protesting Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. An attorney general throwing the book at the antiwar activists. Reckless accusations of antisemitism against anyone who disagrees. Protesters’ doors kicked down and raided by armed police. It’s just another day in Donald Trump’s America. Except in this case in question, none of it was done by Trump or even happened while he was president.

6 days ago | jacobin.com | Alex de Jong

On May 4, 1945, British field marshal Sir Bernard Montgomery accepted the unconditional surrender of the German forces in the Netherlands, almost exactly five years after Nazi Germany invaded the country. Around a quarter of a million Dutch people died in the war. Its memory became a political and moral touchstone in Dutch society. Few questions were more important than whether someone had been “right” or “wrong” — whether they had resisted the occupation or collaborated with the Nazis.
Victory Day Is About Celebrating Liberation From Fascism

6 days ago | jacobin.com | Loren Balhorn

“No inviting Russian and Belarusian representatives to commemorations” — thus reads a nonbinding directive issued to German government officials by the Foreign Office, with regard to the eightieth anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. Should the situation escalate, the circular continues, states and municipalities should consider calling the police to have Russian and Belarusian diplomats removed from the premises.
The Specter of Fascism Is Haunting Europe as It Marks VE Day

6 days ago | jacobin.com | Enzo Traverso

Commemorations are interesting mirrors for the hegemonic narratives of the past, which do not necessarily correspond with popular historical consciousness. This is especially true for global anniversaries like May 8, 1945. For decades, the West celebrated Victory in Europe (VE) Day to display its power and affirm its values. In this mindset, the West was not only powerful but also virtuous.
Western NGOs: Saving Lives, or Just Regulating Death?

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Mark Duffield

During the second half of the 1980s, Oxfam ran an extensive food aid program among Beja nomads in Sudan’s arid Red Sea Hills. The Beja had lost around half of their cattle and sheep during the severe drought of 1984. Based on extensive household and nutritional surveillance, Oxfam operated what was claimed to be a humanitarian “food for recovery” program. Using targeted food assistance, it promised, future stress sales of livestock could be prevented, thus helping the Beja to recover their herds.
The United States Has Overused Its Sanctions Weapon

1 week ago | jacobin.com | Grace Blakeley

Today we are accustomed to the use of economic sanctions as central tools of foreign policy. Many people may be surprised to discover, however, that this is actually a rather recent development. Sanctions used to be akin to a slap on the wrist — they would be used to target foreign leaders and their inner circles, making it harder for them to moor their yachts in the Mediterranean or purchase mansions in London.
