May Day in America, Is It Now Here to Stay?

1 week ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

This article was written for L’Anticapitaliste, the newspaper of the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA) of Frane. May Day is not a holiday in the United States. In most states and cities, it is not celebrated. In some places, in schools or public parks, people put up a May pole and danced around it to celebrate the arrival of spring. We did that in my elementary school in Chicago when I was a child.

3 weeks ago | newpol.org | Gilbert Achcar |London. He

Two years have passed since the war broke out in Sudan between the two sides of the military regime that the country inherited from the infamous Omar al-Bashir. While the situation in Sudan does not get even a tenth of the global media attention that the ongoing Zionist genocidal war in Gaza receives, the scale of the human catastrophe there is equally horrific.
Netflix Adolescence and the dark energy of patriarchal power

3 weeks ago | newpol.org | Scott McLemee

Netflix’ Adolescence is a flawed but powerfully crafted drama. The acting and particularly the dialogue is superb – its poignant, witty in places, and offers up a powerful evocation of working-class family life. The existential flaw in the program, however, lies in the premise. It is endeavoring to grasp the real problem of toxic masculinity/online incel culture purveyed by figures such as Andrew Tate.

Ukraine Solidarity Under the Trump Administration

2 months ago | newpol.org | Dan La Botz

On the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the United States under the Trump administration is now pushing negotiations for a “peace” settlement. The Ukraine Solidarity Network-U.S. (USN) opposes any attempt to impose a settlement that is not acceptable to the Ukrainian people. Anyone with an ounce of compassion wants this war to end as soon as possible, but it is morally unacceptable for outsiders to demand that Ukraine surrender.
Indigenous migrants in the US fight renewed segregation

Feb 5, 2025 | newpol.org | Gladys Tzul Tzul |Dan La Botz

The inauguration took place in the wake of the brutal fires in Los Angeles that began on January 5, devouring more than 37,000 acres, including large parts of Pacific Palisades, Altadena, and Pasadena. The fires destroyed more than 12,000 structures, including homes, schools, churches and businesses, but they impacted far more than buildings alone. They killed at least 29 people, exacerbated the already existing housing crisis in the city and will likely worsen unemployment.
