From DC Streets to Gaza’s Ruins: Inside Trump’s Unholy Alliance

On August 12, 2025, Donald Trump sent the National Guard into Washington, D.C., just months after deploying troops and Marines into Los Angeles.

The result? Displacement, skyrocketing rents, and the collapse of housing as a public good. But it doesn’t have to be this way. What if we took housing out of the hands of corporate landlords and made it public infrastructure—like…

U.S., Israel, and a Lawless New World Order – Nader Hashemi

Israel struck Iran — but could this war set off something far more dangerous? Middle East scholar Nader Hashemi joins Paul Jay to break down what’s really behind the so-called ’12-Day War.’ Far from a clean victory, Hashemi warns the strikes have likely strengthened Iran’s hardliners, accelerated the push toward nuclear weapons, and crushed the country’s democratic opposition. But this may not be a simple case of Western overreach —…

Dress Rehearsal for a Police State: Fifteen Years Ago at the Toronto G20 – Paul Jay

Journalist Paul Jay connects what…
