এখন রাজার কাপড়ও নেই, পরার ভানও নেই

ট্রাম্পেশ্বর ও নন-বায়োলজিকালদের নিয়ে যে কাল্ট ফিগার তৈরির নিরন্তর এবং সচেতন পরিকল্পনা হয়েছিল, তা নিয়ে লেখাজোখাও হয়েছে। কিন্তু ওই যে — তাঁরা নগ্ন, কাজেই ধরা পড়ার লজ্জাহীন। এবং হাতেগোনা কয়েক জনের ওইসব শিক্ষা, সংস্কৃতি, যুক্তিবাদ ও নৈতিকতার পুঁথিগুলো স্রেফ এখানে অ্যাকাডেমিক ইন্টারেস্ট। এতে এদের কিচ্ছু এসে যায় না।   শুভদীপ মৈত্র   উলঙ্গ রাজা কবিতাটা […]


Trump the God

Trump’s portrayal of himself as Jesus, or anointed by Jesus, is typical of cult leaders.   CHRIS HEDGES APR 20, 2026   During the two years I spent writing “American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America,” I encountered numerous mini-Trumps. These self-proclaimed pastors — very few had any formal religious training — […]


Cartographic digital colonialism across Lebanon and Palestine

Greater Israel, beyond the infrastructure of occupation, requires a geography that reflects its claims as though they were already there, rendering the villages as invisible as to make them ready to be claimed, and the Apple and Google digital maps provide exactly the instrument to do so.   April 19, 2026 by Jwan Zreiq   Apple […]


“এই নির্বাচনে ভোট দিতে না পারলে, এমনকি হবে? পরেরটায় দেবেন!” এস.আই.আর এবং এই মুহূর্তের বাংলার রাজনীতি 

এটাই একভাবে হিন্দুরাষ্ট্র তৈরির নীল ছকের ভিত্তি। একদিক থেকে এই বে-নাগরিকীকরণ প্রক্রিয়ার ভেতর দিয়ে তৈরি করা হচ্ছে এমন একটি জনগোষ্ঠী, যাদের জীবন অতিমাত্রায় অসুরক্ষিত। এবং, যেহেতু অসুরক্ষিত, তাই দুর্বল। আর কে না জানে, অধিকারবিহীন দুর্বল মানুষের পক্ষে প্রতিবাদ করা অতো সহজ নয়? আজ আদালতের চরিত্র নিরপেক্ষ নয়, বরং আগাপাশতলা রাজনৈতিক। একই কথা খাটে নির্বাচন কমিশন […]


How Many People Have the US and Israel Killed in Iran?

The massacre at a school in the city of Minab is not an isolated case, but rather an example of broader brutality and also a window into how the US systematically downplays civilian death and suffering.   By Medea Benjamin | Nicolas J.S. Davies Via Common Dreams   After the breakdown of talks in Pakistan, the ceasefire […]


Fragile ceasefire: The illusion of war’s end

Ultimately, the ceasefire between the United States, Israel and Iran does not resolve the conflict. It postpones it. And, as history repeatedly shows, postponement is not the same as settlement. It is an interlude—one that may hold, but only temporarily.   by Eko Ernada   The announcement of a ceasefire between the United States, Israel and […]


Liberation and CPIM’s New Goal of Left Rejuvenation in West Bengal  

As West Bengal’s Left struggles to recover from years of electoral decline and political marginalisation, the coming together of CPI(M) and CPI(ML)-Liberation in the upcoming assembly elections signals a tentative attempt at forging left unity. This piece examines the historical weight, present compulsions, and uncertain possibilities of this emerging alignment.   by Subho Maitro   […]


No apologies – Naming Zionism for what it is

Honesty demands that we say it without hesitation, without dilution, and without apology: Zionism is racism.   by Ranjan Solomon   “A people that oppresses another cannot itself be free” – Friedrich Engels   Zionism is racism. I state this plainly, not as a slogan designed to provoke, but as a conclusion drawn from history, lived […]


Trump Has No Soul

Trump is dangerous not simply because of his imbecility and unbridled narcissism, but because he lacks the core attributes of empathy and understanding that define the human soul.   Chris Hedges Mar 27, 2026   The most profound realities of human existence are often the ones that can never be measured or quantified. Wisdom. Beauty. […]


How the US Became an International Serial Killer

What was once covert, controversial, and constrained is now overt, normalized, and defended.   Medea Benjamin Nicolas J.S. Davies Mar 25, 2026 Via Common Dreams   For decades, the United States moved from covert assassination plots to openly embracing assassination or “targeted killing” as policy. Now, in its war with Iran, that evolution is reaching its most dangerous […]


The World According to Gaza

Gaza is only the start. The new world order is one where the weak are obliterated by the strong, the rule of law does not exist, genocide is an instrument of control and barbarism is triumphant.   CHRIS HEDGES Mar 16, 2026   The war on Iran and the obliteration of Gaza is the beginning. […]


The Evolutionary History of Sindhi Nationalism: A Critical Class-Based Analysis

The future of Sindhi nationalism depends on its ability to reorient towards a class-conscious, inclusive framework centred on land, labour, and dignity. Without this transformation, it risks remaining symbolically powerful but politically ineffective.   By Suffyan Laghari   This article critically examines the evolutionary history of Sindhi nationalism through a class-based analytical lens. It presents Sindhi nationalism […]


The Voice of Hind Rajab: The Film They Don’t Want You to See

“The Voice of Hind Rajab” reminds us that indifference is complicity. It mocks the rhetoric used to dehumanize Palestinians.   CHRIS HEDGES Feb 27, 2026   NEW YORK: “The Voice of Hind Rajab,” like all great pieces of art, takes a straightforward story — the battle to save the life of a 6-year-old girl, Hind […]


Algorithms and AI have turned Gaza into a laboratory of death

Algorithms decide who lives and who dies; corporations provide the infrastructure; intelligence services operate in the shadows; and technocratic language seeks to normalise the unacceptable. Gaza bleeds so that this model may be tested, refined, and then exported.   by Sayid Marcos Tenorio   The revelations by +972 Magazine and Local Call have exposed the darkest core of […]


Rojava’s Experiment in Revolutionary Autonomy Is Facing Its Greatest Threat Yet

“Revolution is not a paradise on earth. It is a constant process of change, with obstacles and shortcomings,” Felix Weber, a member of the Internationalist Commune in Rojava, told me. “The difference is that people here don’t pull back from the obstacles but try to overcome them.”   By Shane Burley / truthout.org   The autonomous area commonly […]
