ANTISEMITISM

By Mira Fox
Forward

Who knows why Ye tweeted out his antisemitic conspiracy theories.
Maybe he was trying to troll people, maybe it was a publicity stunt or
performance art. In the end, it doesn’t really matter; plenty of his
fans will absorb his statements uncritically. And regardless of the
tweets’ impact, there’s no question they were antisemitic. It’s
OK to say that — in fact it’s essential.

Truthout

Frontline climate leaders just secured a huge win by stopping West
Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin’s pipeline bill from weaseling into the
Senate’s key funding bill. Frontline leaders joined forces together
to lobby and call their representatives, tell their stories, and rally
in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere, with the support of “Big Green”
environmentalists.

Foreign Policy in Focus

The same Europeans who quaked at the prospect of Marine Le Pen
becoming president in France have been bracing for the impact of
far-rightist Giorgia Meloni winning in the September elections in
Italy. The fascist Brothers of Italy coming out on top with 26 percent
of the vote. One of the reasons for this electoral victory was surely
Meloni’s strategic pivot to the center.

working-class writers face, the sociological influences on her

By Carlos L. Garrido
Science for the People

A recent study published in the journal _Molecular Psychiatry_ sent
shockwaves across the scientific community and popular outlets as it
disproved the predominant “serotonin hypothesis” of depression.
Researchers concluded that “there is no convincing evidence that
depression is associated with, or caused by, lower serotonin
concentrations or activity.”
