Former roughneck turned journalist Don Gillmor chronicles how a resource boom became a governing ideology and how Canada became a global greenhouse pariah. https://t.co/HVhJ4SeIA2

The mysterious deaths of two CIA agents in Mexico has raised questions about the Trump White House’s increasingly belligerent actions against the Latin American left. https://t.co/vRvwrkFG41

Even though most other governments reject the US categorization of Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism, its effect has been still disastrous for Cubans, severely constricting any meaningful economic relations with the outside world. https://t.co/D9sEmFHljK

Don Gillmor writes that the Oil Wars "were among the companies and nations trying to acquire and exploit territories that contained oil. But now oil is fighting its own war, facing both history and a green revolution, two battles it can’t win." https://t.co/HVhJ4SeIA2

When two CIA agents died in a car crash in Mexico, the Trump White House didn’t explain — it retaliated with indictments against Mexican government officials. https://t.co/vRvwrkFG41

Over a century ago, Jewish immigrant women in New York revolted against the indignities of working-class life.

The New York Times called them ignorant and dangerous. The Jewish press cheered them on: "Bravo, bravo, bravo, Jewish women!" https://t.co/sT1uJDCn7Q

The indictment of Raúl Castro by US federal prosecutors could be the first step toward a Venezuela-style illegal incursion and seizure of the former Cuban leader.

But any such operation would be much harder and riskier for the US to pull off in Cuba. https://t.co/D9sEmFHljK

A new book traces how Canada became one of the world’s highest per-capita emitters of greenhouse gasses.

In spite of mounting evidence of the cost, federal and provincial governments continue to lavish the fossil fuel sector with public money. https://t.co/HVhJ4SfgpA

From Chihuahua to Sinaloa, the United States is using supposed “anti‑drug” operations to crush the Latin American left. https://t.co/vRvwrkF8et

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Jewish immigrant women faced a stark reality in New York: “It's the same fight everywhere. In Russia it is the Czar. In America it is the boss and the boss's money.”

Rather than submit to the new tyranny, they organized mass labor action. https://t.co/sT1uJDCn7Q

Trump’s latest moves against Cuba show that Washington has never accepted the island’s defiance of US power.

Now is the time for solidarity with the Cuban people. https://t.co/D9sEmFHljK

Over a century ago, Jewish immigrant women arrived in New York's Lower East Side from the Russian Empire with nothing.

Within a generation, they had pulled off some of the most combative and highly organized labor actions in American history. https://t.co/sT1uJDCn7Q

The rich have long used the fiction of “corporate personhood” to amass privileges while protecting themselves from accountability for their misdeeds.

Now tech bros and venture capitalists want to further distort the concept of a person to include robots. https://t.co/NlMjyvaCyo

The International Criminal Court has scheduled the trial of former Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte for November this year.

It’s an overdue reckoning for the mass killings under his rule that should worry other leaders guilty of major atrocities. https://t.co/7oH49GL8sx

In Lebanon, Israel is reusing the same strategy as in Gaza and the West Bank.

Demanding the “evacuation” of the population and destroying civilian architecture, it wants to make it impossible for residents ever to return. https://t.co/KXqyuASydY

Drawn to its promise of a “trad” conservative lifestyle, young American men are increasingly converting to Russian Orthodoxy.

But two generations ago, the Orthodox Church in the US was an FBI-surveilled hotbed of Bolshevik-inspired leftism. https://t.co/IEhlFtQTSd

Right-wing politicians and pundits in Britain have spent the last few months talking about the alleged danger of sectarian politics.

It’s a cynical attempt to present British Muslims as a fifth column and to delegitimize opposition to genocide in Gaza. https://t.co/NB2aCvJ6Qy

A new book traces the 19th-century capitalist origins of the strange notion of corporations as legal persons, distorted and abstracted artificial beings that grant their owners privileges while shielding them from liability for wrongdoing. https://t.co/NlMjyvaCyo
