Climate change is the result of a deadly calculus: human lives are worth risking and even losing over the profits of global corporations.
As we come upon the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, it is tempting to give in to despair about collective White violence, impunity, and criminal activity yet again going unpunished. A study found a whopping 21 million Americans share the values of the insurrectionists.

For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
