The United States is approaching midterm elections that will decide whether, and how, we can find a remedy to Trumpism and a path back to functional democracy.

The United States is approaching midterm elections that will decide whether, and how, we can find a remedy to Trumpism and a path back to functional democracy. The president’s popularity continues to erode, and polls suggest that his preferred candidates …

“The book matters because Gaza is still happening. Its relevance is my family’s ongoing danger. I wrote the poems because I wanted people to look and see what was happening.”
Palestinian poet and journalist Nour ElAssy reflects on her forthcoming book:

The book of poetry I wrote for the home I lost in Gaza
This is my dream, and it has been handed to me in exchange for everything I had. Nobody consulted me on the rate, writes journalist and poet Nour ElAssy.

"Meanwhile Moulton, claiming to represent a break in the status quo, repeated precisely the tired centrist playbook that has both failed America’s multiracial working class and failed to win elections. He punched left and, as Markey himself highlighted, threw trans kids 'under the bus.'"

Mamdani promised public grocery stores as a candidate. Now the city's building five, one per borough. First up this year: La Marqueta in East Harlem and Hunts Point, run through a private operator instead of full public ownership.

When 34-year-old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani won NYC’s mayoral race last year, his election was described as a “political earthquake.” If the metaphor is apt, then the city’s Dem primaries were a series of powerful aftershocks.
@nickfrenchnyc.bsky.social has analyzed the results for us.

The far right is on the rise and #anti-feminism is one of its central pillars. In #Argentina, #Spain, and the #US, feminist movements have been fighting back. But are we also, without realizing it, playing into the same polarization logic we’re trying to dismantle?

We won't leave transatlantic cooperation to MAGA or the AfD.

No sport has a more global reach than football. When Canada, Mexico and the United States won the bid to host the 2026 World Cup, they promised a tournament built on unity and human rights. Less than a decade later, those promises seem to belong to another era.

As a teenager, Arian Moayed was confronted with the stereotypes from “Not Without My Daughter”. So he founded Waterwell, which now fights against such prejudices. With our support @newhumanitarian.bsky.social hosted a panel discussion to put the stories of those affected back in the spotlight.
