In “You Can See Everything,” Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim turn their confrontation with Elizabeth Holmes into a Hitchcockian thriller about the slippery nature of truth.
It’s a masterpiece. jacobin.com/2026/10/review-f…
John Reed was born on this day 139 years ago.
Reed's thrilling dispatches from the front lines of the Mexican Revolution could have made him a pop culture celebrity.
Instead, the experience made him a committed socialist. jacobin.com/2021/11/mexican-…
In her new book, economist @IsabellaMWeber explains how inflation has helped drive the far right’s ascendance around the developed world — and how effective price regulation can promote affordability and boost the Left. jacobin.com/2026/10/weber-ec…
Peter Thomas, the Marxist theorist best known for his work on Antonio Gramsci, has died.

Jacobin founder @sunraysunray tells me and @tracyalloway that after the socialists take over, we don’t have to worry. Markets will still have a major role to play in the economy open.spotify.com/episode/1cv…
In “You Can See Everything,” Nathan Fielder appears almost willing to believe Elizabeth Holmes’s increasingly implausible claims of innocence.
Whether or not his credulity is genuine, the result is a fascinating study of Silicon Valley self-deception. jacobin.com/2026/10/fielder-…
Egypt in the Middle Ages was steeply class stratified.
When the rains failed, the rich dined on hoarded grain while the starving poor ate grass.
Periodically, the masses would erupt in revolt — sometimes with petitions, other times with stones. jacobin.com/2026/10/egypt-mi…
Historian Mike Wallace, author of the Gotham trilogy of New York City history and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, tried to capture everything about New York and the world through a droll, cheerful, humanistic Marxism. jacobin.com/2026/10/wallace-…
Working people’s share of national income has fallen to a record low, even as corporate profits soar to unthinkable new heights.
The trend reflects decades of eroded worker power, and reversing it will take a revitalized labor movement. jacobin.com/2026/10/capital-…
Key to a long-term solution to defeating the far right is an economic program that guarantees security to all, including the affordability of housing and other essential components of a dignified life, Isabella Weber tells Jacobin. jacobin.com/2026/10/weber-in…
.@ZackPolanski's leadership of the Green Party is facing its biggest challenge to date.
But the Greens can weather the storm if they stand their ground against deceitful attacks from Andy Burnham’s Labour government over their solidarity with Palestine. jacobin.com/2026/10/greens-p…
From California wellness liberalism to Texas Charlie Kirk–loving machismo, the transformation of Elizabeth Holmes’s partner Billy Evans in “You Can See Everything” is the perfect embodiment of Silicon Valley’s political evolution. jacobin.com/2026/10/fielder-…
In medieval Egypt, famine laid bare the class divide.
Merchants and nobles hoarded grain and corrupt officials profited while the poor starved.
As tensions peaked, Egyptians responded with mass protest — and an occasional stoning. jacobin.com/2026/10/egypt-mi…
The late historian Mike Wallace’s Gotham project set out to deliver history as something alive, something we are all a part of, something that can be acted on, something that we can change. jacobin.com/2026/10/wallace-…
As long as labor is weak and fragmented, workers will continue to see their share of the economic pie contract as billionaires and CEOs reap the rewards of the new AI economy. jacobin.com/2026/10/capital-…
Across the globe, liberal democracies have failed to deal with unaffordability, leading to the rise of far-right extremism.
Speaking to Jacobin, Isabella Weber outlines an alternative. jacobin.com/2026/10/weber-in…
The British media has expressed more outrage about a Green Party motion that branded Zionism as a racist ideology than it has ever expressed about the crimes Israel has committed in Gaza.
The hypocrisy would be breathtaking if it wasn’t so predictable. jacobin.com/2026/10/greens-p…
.@ElizabethHolmes insists she has never told a lie in her life.
@nathanfielder's bizarre new documentary reveals the extraordinary self-delusion of Silicon Valley’s ruling class: jacobin.com/2026/10/fielder-…
The fortunes of medieval Egypt’s masses were tied to the Nile. If it rose adequately, they would eat, and if not, they would starve.
By hoarding grain, elites insulated themselves from the effects of famine — but not from mass revolt: jacobin.com/2026/10/egypt-mi…
