This year has seen the resolution of major suits against tech giants Alphabet and Meta, both of which were found liable for serious lawbreaking.

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.

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-…
