Big Pharma Is Pushing Potentially Deadly Alzheimer’s Drugs
Six years ago, Genevieve Lane was enjoying an active life in Florida when she began to forget her neighbors’ names and where she put her keys.

Pierre Poilievre Wants Radical Austerity for Canada
Within the next six months, Canada is likely to witness a turn toward more aggressive right-wing politics. This shift was set in motion by the resignation of Justin Trudeau as the leader of the Liberal Party, though he remains prime minister for the short remainder of his government’s term. It appears nearly inevitable that Pierre
Can New York City Build Affordable Housing Again?
Even by its own dizzying standards, New York City is in a state of flux. Ongoing political uncertainty, with Mayor Eric Adams’s administration deep in crisis, is now compounded by the return of Donald Trump. Several horrific incidents on the subway confirm the general sense of a city in a state of fear and distress.
Serbia’s Mass Protests Against a Crony-Capitalist Government
Soon after the roof canopy of Novi Sad’s central train station collapsed last November 1, killing fifteen people, a TV reporter asked local journalist Igor Mihaljević to respond to the event. With devastating and incisive judgement, he offered the context missing in Western media coverage of the incident and the protests of the last few
Trump’s EPA Has Deleted All Web References to Climate Change
On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency quietly removed all information about climate change from its home page and other prominent areas of its website, burying it deep in sections that are harder to find. Environmental advocates condemned the deletions, part of sweeping efforts to revise federal websites to reflect President Donald Trump’s agenda, saying the information

Trump’s War on Gender is Accelerating
If you searched “transgender” on the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website on January 19—the day before President Donald Trump took office—you’d find helpful information about HIV, gender-affirming resources, and the high rate of diabetes among the LGBTQ+ community. If you make the same web query on the CDC.gov now, those webpages bring
This Week’s Episode of Reveal: Immigrants on the Line
Mackenson Remy didn’t plan to bypass security when he drove into the parking lot of a factory in Greeley, Colorado. He’d never been there before. All he knew was this place had jobs…lots of jobs. Remy is originally from Haiti, and in 2023, he’d been making TikTok videos about job openings in the area for
Trump’s Tariffs: Another Disaster for the Families Who’ve Lost Everything
President Donald Trump says he’ll impose punitive tariffs on America’s allies and rivals this weekend—25 percent on imported goods from Canada and Mexico and 10 percent on Chinese imports.

Louisiana Indicts NY Doctor for Telemedicine Abortion
In what is believed to be the first criminal case of its kind in the post–Roe v. Wade era, a New York-based telemedicine provider has been indicted in Louisiana—which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the country—for supplying the abortion pill to a teenage patient in that state. The Louisiana indictment against Dr.
Trump’s War on Medicaid Will Institutionalize Millions of People
In August 1981, then-President Ronald Reagan signed a bill into law that allowed the development of state-level programs to help disabled people live outside institutions like nursing homes. Known as Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers, the programs—now in their fourth decade—are funded by Medicaid and run by each individual state. With potential cuts to

Can the Internet Wage Peace? Amidst a Push for War, Chinese and American Citizens Connect Online
With the Tiktok ban just days away, American youth have started flooding the Chinese social media app RedNote, pushing it into #1 position on the app store. Labeled “Tiktok refugees” by Chinese netizens, the newcomers have been welcomed by app users with open arms, curiosity, and a fair bit of humor. Though initially confused at The post Can the Internet Wage Peace? Amidst a Push for War, Chinese and American Citizens Connect Online first appeared on Dissident Voice.
Bitter Harvests: The Gaza Ceasefire
Twinning the terms “ceasefire” and “Gaza” seems not only incongruous but an obscene joke. This is largely because the ceasefire announced on January 15 between Israel and Hamas could have been reached so much earlier by all the concerned parties. But will was lacking in Washington to force Israel’s hand, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin The post Bitter Harvests: The Gaza Ceasefire first appeared on Dissident Voice.
Jewish Supremacy is a Bigger Problem than Antisemitism
Fifteen months into Israel’s holocaust some leftists continue to uphold Jewish supremacy. Many supposedly on the side of humanity continue to boost an ideological stick enabling a genocide, authoritarianism and a movement promoting “mass deportation”. Recently Caitlin Johnstone posted: “First end the active genocide, THEN talk to me about your concerns regarding a rise in The post Jewish Supremacy is a Bigger Problem than Antisemitism first appeared on Dissident Voice.

Settler Colonialism: “It Ends With Us” in Palestine and Israel
Israel tried to operate settler colonialism on the pattern of earlier European settler colonialisms established around the world. That effort linked to me indirectly in a remarkably personal way. Without grasping why, I chose to participate in a program for Harvard and Radcliffe undergraduates that took 20 of us to East Africa in the early 1960s as volunteers for a summer of teaching. I began to learn there what settler colonialism meant. Further studies grew into my doctoral dissertation later at Yale based on research in the records of London’s Colonial Office and the British Museum. My resulting book, The Economics of Colonialism: Britain and Kenya, 1870–1930 (New Haven, Yale University Press, 1974), tried to analyze Kenya’s settler colonialist economy.
