The boom of AI is asking us what it means to be human. That question about our collective identity couldn’t have come at a better time. counterpunch.org/2026/11/11/…
Israel has radically altered the territory of Gaza, appropriating over 70% of Palestinian territory within the so-called Yellow Line, an ever-expanding demarcation line that the IOF has claimed as a ‘new border’ counterpunch.org/2026/11/10/…
The billionaires spent over $300 million to defeat a California initiative for a wealth tax. The tax would have imposed a one-time 5 percent tax on the net worth of anyone living in the state with more than $1 billion in wealth. counterpunch.org/2026/11/10/…
Over 1.9 million Palestinians in Gaza have been displaced and live in makeshift tents, condensed into encampments in Al-Mawasi, along the seashore, and under the eaves of ruined tower-blocks, denied basic infrastructure necessary for human survival. counterpunch.org/2026/11/10/…

Secretary of War Hegseth says criticizing President Trump's military operations means criticizing the troops who carried them out, pushing back against Democrats over what he calls partisan political games.
Defending Trump's military decisions, Hegseth praises the president's leadership and the courage of American service members.
"I couldn't be more proud of what our president has done, the decisions that he's made, the courageous calls that he's made."
"Anybody who's paying attention knows that these are the kind of partisan political games Democrats have been playing for a very long time."

Amazon has followed what has become the standard playbook for platform capitalism: First, be good to users, then abuse users on behalf of business customers, then squeeze the business customers to grab almost all the value. counterpunch.org/2026/11/06/…
Something has broken in the machinery of fear. The old fascist ideas, the politics of racial hatred, and the relentless assault on human dignity have encountered a moment of resistance. counterpunch.org/2026/11/06/…
Europe’s autumn unrest did not begin beneath the television cameras in Paris. Before students blockaded schools in mainland France, teachers & parents in Mayotte and students in French Guiana had already demanded the elementary conditions of an education. counterpunch.org/2026/11/06/…
It’s not every day–or even every decade in this country, where some of the worst people in the world take it on the chin and some of them, like AIPAC and Elon Musk, directly in the balls. And that’s something to celebrate for a few hours, at least. counterpunch.org/2026/11/06/…

Sudan’s war is usually described as an African catastrophe, Yemen’s as an Arabian conflict, and the war around Iran as a Gulf crisis. Such divisions obscure the movement of weapons, money, soldiers, and commercial interests between them. counterpunch.org/2026/11/05/…
