Nexus X HumectressChina’s President Xi Jinping is a force to be reckoned with. As leader of the Communist colossus, he commands the world’s attention, but who is China’s strongman and what is his agenda?

By Jennifer Gould and Bruce Golding New York Post A Cantor Fitzgerald exec’s wife tearfully denied allegations that her family was exploiting pandemic-related protections to avoid eviction from a $5 million Hamptons mansion, according to a report Friday. “I’m not squatting, I’m just trying to keep my kids […]
Very Latin America-like in terms of the rising poverty levels. By Lexie Harrison-Cripps and Eric Pape, Main and Capital For generations, a carnival-like spectacle has helped draw millions of visitors to the soft sands of Venice Beach — a place second only to Disneyland among Southern California’s tourist sites, […]
My guess is that the UBI idea will increasingly gain traction in the future as a means of pacification in response to rising social unrest rooted in widening class divisions. A lot of tech overlords seem to be enthusiastic about this and they are the rising ruling class. […]
By Matt Taibbi Canceled on campus for speaking his mind, he’s now going through a sequel at the hands of Silicon Valley. On May 23, 2017, not so long ago in real time but seemingly an eternity given the extraordinary history we’ve lived through since, a group of […]

By David Pan TELOS After watching the images of the January 6 Capitol riot, many Americans concluded that right-wing populism threatens the basic rules of our constitutional order.

By Matt Taibbi On December 8, 2020, when most of America was consumed with what The Guardian called Donald Trump’s “desperate, mendacious, frenzied and sometimes farcical” attempt to remain president, the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held a hearing on the “Medical Response to Covid-19.” One of […]
The FBI may be creating a STASI from the looks of it. We all should be weary of even more surveillance.
For historians of the ‘60s and ‘70s, one of the most pressing questions to ask is: What did the revolutionary movements of this period get right, and where did they go wrong? Of course, David and Margaret give us thought-provoking and insightful answers — on modern cynicism toward […]
By Holger Marcks “Taking a critical approach, Holger Marcks deconstructs the threat of ‘international anarchist terrorism’ as a justification narrative that was used to generally blame anarchist ideology for politically motivated assassinations, to criminalise political dissent and to shape the norms and practices of the respective transnational criminal […]
As the saying goes, “Let the doorknob hit you where Mother Nature split you.” Former Detroit police chief James Craig is ‘not surprised’ that police are resigning en masse in Portland. He also says the crime surge in Chicago is due to a failed criminal justice system.
This is one of the best discussions of criminal justice in the USA I’ve seen in a while. By Wendy Sawyer and Peter Wagner Prison Policy Initiative Can it really be true that most people in jail are being held before trial? And how much of mass incarceration […]

By Matt Taibbi Throughout the Trump years, it made sense that reporters chased sexy-sounding Russia stories. What journalist with a pulse wouldn’t? These were riveting tales about the president of the United States, under investigation by the FBI and other agencies, who was apparently really suspected of traitorous […]
By Matt Taibbi Review of “Spooked,” by Barry Meier, the devastating new book about Fusion-GPS, the Steele Dossier, and the private spying business. Glenn Simpson, the former Wall Street Journal reporter turned high-priced “oppo” merchant, didn’t like to think of himself as a private investigator. He preferred to describe what […]

By Robert Tracinski Discourse Insulting, shaming or deplatforming those we disagree with is not only a threat to a free society, it’s a confession of failure. We are engaged right now in seemingly endless battles over free speech—yet few of these conflicts are destined ever to be hashed […]
The anarchist Boogaloo Boy who made the Left look like chumps. This guy is a role model for what anarchism should be. Magnus Panvidya has come to prominence as the face of the so-called Boogaloo Boys. Pete asked Magnus to come on because Magnus mentioned to him privately […]
By Benjamin Pauli This article highlights the ways in which anarcho-pacifists in the years during and after World War II reconceptualized anarchist tactics like “propaganda of the deed” and “direct action” in a manner that reconciled them with principles of nonviolence. In order to contextualize this extraordinary shift […]

Research from various sources indicates that the rates of drug, alcohol, and tobacco use, pregnancy, abortions, sexual activity, and crime are declining among teens. My guess is that the normalization of “sex, drugs, and rock n’ roll” (and in the case of gangsta rap, crime) has made all […]

A concise but excellent and entirely correct description of how the left-wing of the capitalist class approaches racial issues.

By Jason Garner, University of Sussex Journal of Contemporary History, Issue Six, August 2003. As anarchism was never a mass movement in either the United Kingdom or the United States it has often been the victim of equivocal, prejudicial and patronising (often sympathetic) interpretations. Studies of the anarchist […]
I greatly suspect that if these had been poor inner-city black kids, the cops would have simply blown them away. A 12-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl who ran away from their Florida group home are in custody after cops say they broke into a house, armed themselves with […]
Are cops hated by the public? That’s what the police want you to think, but the truth is actually very different. Police are actually still viewed very favorably, even among African-Americans.
