Last week, Trump and his cultists brought a new lawsuit attacking Nevada’s mail-in voting system. Like many Trump lawsuits, it’s not legally sound but that won’t stop it from creating election-season chaos. Elie Mystal explains.

Essential coverage of the now underway Rafah invasion and the ceasefire negotiations by Mohammad Alsaafin thenation.com/article/archiv…

We have the brilliant Mohammad Alsaafin writing in The Nation today about the Rafah invasion. His conclusion: this is not a sign of Israel's march to victory, it's a sign of how deeply Israel has failed in this war—even on its own terms. A must-read! thenation.com/article/archiv…

A failing marriage often contains within it an amalgam of different feelings.

For The Nation's May issue, I wrote a short piece on Grants Pass v. Johnson, the Supreme Court case that will decide if the state can punish people who have nowhere else to go. (It's in print now)

What can a new lawsuit by the RNC and Trump campaign against Nevada’s mail-in voting system tell us about the upcoming election? Sadly, writes Elie Mystal, a lot. While it’s a bogus lawsuit, its potential to wreak chaos is huge. bit.ly/3UrBkS8

Rachel Herzing and Justin Piché's new book, 'How to Abolish Prisons,' demonstrates the diversity of abolitionist tactics—from formal campaigns to shutter jails and prisons to forming mutual aid efforts.

Even with an ICC warrant, it’s unlikely that Netanyahu and other indicted officials would be in handcuffs anytime soon, but writes Reed Brody 🧣⚖️, these crimes have no statute of limitations, if Israeli leaders are indicted their world would be much smaller. bit.ly/3wzy0wo

Glad to have jeremiah hayden of Street Roots on the Grants Pass case—someone who's reported from Grants Pass and attended oral arguments at the Supreme Court. thenation.com/article/societ…

My latest on the history and function of Campus Police Departments. thenation.com/article/archiv…

The ICC has never, in over 21 years of existence, indicted a Western official. Indeed, no international tribunal since Nuremberg has done so. Could the ICC really issue a warrant for Netanyahu's arrest?

The RNC plan is bad, the Trump plan is chaos.
