5 h. ago Mark Ruffalo’s howl of frustration was the Golden Globes’ finest hour

The actor’s sober note of sanity on Sunday night was the latest courageous move from a man who seems more invested in activism than actingAt times like these, when the world teeters on the brink of several terrifying calamities at once, awards seasons can be something of a tightrope.This weekend’s Golden Globe awards were a perfect case in point. The main criticism levelled at the ceremony so far seems to be that it didn’t adequately reflect the moment. It was all a bit 1920s Berlin, with a shimmering array of beautiful millionaires busy congratulating themselves, oblivious to the fear and exhaustion of the rest of the world. Continue reading...

7 d. ago Trump is marching into 2026 with the worst cabinet in history | Austin Sarat

From RFK Jr to Pete Hegseth, the president’s top aides have been disastrous. We shouldn’t be surprisedAs 2024 ended and Donald Trump’s cabinet picks were rolled out, commentators scrambled to decide which one was the worst. Was it Matt Gaetz for attorney general?

7 d. ago Trump’s new world order is being born – and Venezuela is just the start | Owen Jones

The US president has been quite clear that Cuba, Mexico, Colombia and Greenland are in his sights. We must believe himAs Venezuela’s skyline lit up under US bombs, we were watching the morbid symptoms of a declining empire. That may sound counterintuitive. After all, the US has kidnapped a foreign leader, and Donald Trump has announced that he will “run” Venezuela. Surely this looks less like decay than intoxication: a superpower high on its own force.But Trump’s great virtue, if it can be called that, is candour. Previous US presidents draped naked self-interest in the language of “democracy” and “human rights”. Trump dispenses with the costume. In 2023, he boasted: “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil, it would have been right next door.” And this was no off-the-cuff remark. The logic of an oil grab, and much more besides, is laid out plainly in Trump’s recently published National Security Strategy. Continue ...
