We should already be talking about what it would be like, if Donald Trump wins the 2024 election, to live under a developing autocracy.

Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Stan and Priti Gulati Cox, Blocking the Aid Trucks, Letting the Tanks Roll
It's been almost two months since the International Court of Justice ordered Israel to stop killing Gazans and destroying their means of subsistence. So let's look back and ask (1) how Israel has responded to its "orders," and (2) how hard the Biden administration has pushed Israel to abide by those orders.

Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Rebecca Gordon, My "Children" Say They Won't Vote for Biden
Recently my partner and I had brunch with some old comrades, folks I first met in the 1996 fight to stop the state of California from outlawing affirmative action.

Trump[...] |
Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Alfred McCoy, Living in a Quagmire World
Empires don't just fall like toppled trees. Instead, they weaken slowly as a succession of crises drain their strength and confidence until they suddenly begin to disintegrate. So it was with the British, French, and Soviet empires; so it now is with imperial America[...] |
Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Liz Theoharis, This Can't Be as "Good" as It Gets
The slang definition of "unwinding" means "to chill." Other definitions include: to relax, disentangle, undo -- all words that, on the surface, appear both passive and peaceful.

Tom Engelhardt: Tomgram: Nan Levinson, The Enticements of War (and Peace)
War, what is it good for? Well, the media for starters.
Shortly after the Biden administration responded to the killing of three American soldiers in a drone attack on a base in Jordan by bombing 85 Iran-connected targets in Iraq and Syria, the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) asked in a headline: "Is the press dragging America to war again?"
Again? I thought. Shouldn't that be "still"?[...] |

In the midst of Israel's ongoing devastation of Gaza, one major piece of Middle Eastern news has yet to hit the headlines. In a face-off that, in a sense, has lasted since the pro-American Shah of Iran was overthrown by theocratic clerics in 1979, Iran finally seems to be besting the United States in a significant fashion across the region.

We Americans have been at war now since October 7th, 2001.
