    Originally published: The Grayzone on April 14, 2025 by Oscar León (more by The Grayzone)  | (Posted Apr 16, 2025)

    There are alarming echoes of the notorious Nazi-organised exhibition in America today—but we also need to acknowledge the differences between the world today and 1930s Europe.

  • The Elwha River, pictured here, is one of Olympic National Park's most important natural features. The illegal construction of two dams in the early 1900s blocked salmon from reaching their ancestral upstream spawning sites, but both are now gone, and the Elwha flows freely from its headwaters to the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

    Park rangers are our most trusted federal employees, and national parks are America’s gift to the world… but the new Trump regime is choking them, depriving them of the personnel and resources they need.

    Pentagon chief nominee wants to expand NATO’s nuclear sharing policy

    Originally published: Defend Democracy Press on April 2, 2025 by Drago Bosnic (more by Defend Democracy Press)  | (Posted Apr 12, 2025)

    Although the new administration is looking to refocus on the Asia-Pacific, the policy of expanded nuclear sharing makes sense, as it could ameliorate NATO’s growing conventional inferiority against the battle-hardened Russian military. For over 60 years, the United States has been implementing the so-called nuclear sharing policy with various NATO member states. One of the […]

    Ten years after one student’s bold action a month earlier inspired protests which led to the removal of Cecil John Rhodes’ statue at the University of Cape Town (UCT), Heike Becker recounts this historical occasion by linking this as well as subsequent and earlier protests to broader conversations about decolonization and concerns about racism, marginalization and inequality.
