Antisemitic and Islamophobic violence is rising in the United States. Both must stop | Moustafa Bayoumi
We have a duty to call out antisemitism when we see it. We also have an equal duty to remember that Palestinians, Arabs and Muslims are also being targetedThis must stop. Two incidents of political violence, both targeting groups of Jewish people, are two incidents too many. Less than two weeks ago, a gunman shot and killed two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC, yelling Free Palestine" as he was being detained. This week, a man used a makeshift flamethrower" along with other incendiary devices to attack a Boulder, Colorado, rally organized by Run for Their Lives, a group which organizes events calling for the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas". Eight people were injured in this latest assault, at least two of them seriously.These horrific acts will no doubt increase the anxiety many Jewish people have about increasing - and increasingly violent - antisemitism in the United States. Understandably so. Antisemitism must not be given any oxygen to breathe. One can oppose Israel's 600-plus day war, relentlessly pounding the innocents in Gaza, while vigorously opposing all forms of antisemitism. In fact, one must oppose both. Such is our duty to each other in a civilized world.Moustafa Bayoumi is a Guardian US columnist Continue reading...
‘This isn’t just about Trump’: the Rev William Barber arrested after prayer-protest against Republican-led budget
Eight were arrested at Moral Monday, an effort to stop a bill they say will slash vital healthcare for lower income peopleA police officer's sense of timing seemed to illuminate the Rev William Barber's moral mission with startling clarity.During a prayer vigil on Monday in the Capitol rotunda, close to the very heart of US democracy, Barber was lamenting that Congress starts each day with its own prayers to the almighty even while preying on the poor. Capitol police captain, John Hersch, serendipitously choose that very moment to intervene. Continue reading...
Florida Man v Canada: how the Stanley Cup final became a proxy war
Edmonton face the Panthers in the NHL title showdown for the second season in a row. But there are plenty of talking points off the ice tooThis time last year the story of the Stanley Cup final between Florida and Edmonton was mostly about Connor McDavid, hockey's generational talent, getting the chance to bring the Cup back to hockey's generational home. And it almost went his way, after the Oilers overcame a three-game deficit to force a deciding Game 7. Instead, McDavid's win came a little later. His series-winning goal against the US in February's Four Nations Cup amid the febrile nationalism created by Donald Trump's annexation threats and tariffs seemed to quiet the doubters about where hockey both belonged and who rightly owned its highest honours. But here we are again, on the eve of the final, with the Oilers back in Florida for the second season in a row - Game 1 is on Wednesday night - and with a team from that state contending for the Cup for the sixth straight year.The easiest way to explain why the Tampa Bay Lightning (2020-22) and Florida Panthers (2023-25) have each reached the Stanley Cup final as Eastern Conference champions in three consecutive seasons is that, well, they have both been very good teams. You can point to some common elements between the two, like scoring depth, a certain level of tenacity and grit, elite Russian goaltending, and Carter Verhaeghe. But there has also been something less obvious or quantifiable about these teams. Some characteristic that they share, beyond the on-ice talent and performance. It may be Florida itself.

How the use of a word in the Guardian has gotten some readers upset | Elisabeth Ribbans
Got' was changed during the editing of an opinion piece, leading to correspondence lamenting a slide into American English. But language isn't a fortressIn Shakespeare's Henry VI, Part II, a messenger breathlessly announces to the king that, Jack Cade hath gotten London bridge". Hold this late 16th-century text in mind as we fast forward to last week when Martin Kettle, associate editor and columnist at the Guardian in the UK, was seen to suggest in an opinion piece that, if King Charles has pushed the boundaries of neutrality, such as with his speech to open the new Canadian parliament, he has so far gotten away with it".In a letter published the next day, a reader asked teasingly if this use of gotten" - and another writer's reference to a faucet" - were signs the Guardian had fallen into line with Donald Trump's demand that news agencies adopt current US terminology, such as referring to the Gulf of America".Elisabeth Ribbans is the Guardian's global readers' editor

‘Saying Trump is dangerous is not enough’: Bernie Sanders on Biden, billionaires – and why the Democrats failed
The senator and twice Democratic presidential hopeful is on tour with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez trying to build a new progressive movement. He reveals why he thinks Republicans are scared to speak up and what went wrong for Kamala Harris in 2024I think what Trumpism is about, is an understanding that the system in America is not working for working-class people," says Bernie Sanders, sat in the Guardian's offices in London. In a phoney, hypocritical way, Trump has tapped into that. His quote-unquote solutions' will only make a bad situation worse."In person, Sanders' 83 years read differently than in photograph, perhaps because of how conversational he is. His voice is magnetic - a Brooklyn accent that feels both warm and tough. But what I have been aware of, and I've talked about it for years, is that in America, the very richest people are doing phenomenally well, while 60% of our people live paycheck to paycheck."

It’s not Denmark’s children who can’t handle debating Gaza. It’s our politicians | Rune Lykkeberg
In banning a schools debate on Palestinian sovereignty, our leaders have revealed the nation we're becomingIn Denmark, we like to think of ourselves as being in the vanguard of freedom of expression. We were the first country in the world to legalise pornography. We insisted on the right to publish caricatures of the prophet Muhammad. Rather than marginalise so-called rightwing populists in parliament, we invited them in to political cooperation. We pride ourselves on being unafraid of controversy and we're good at making authorities who try to tell us what to do - and especially what not to do - look ridiculous.Danes also like to think of our country as a role model for democracy. As such, the national elections for children aged 13 to 16 are a cherished tradition, considered a part of civic education and a preparation for democratic participation. All schools are invited to take part in the exercise, which is held every other year. Students debate 20 issues for three weeks before casting votes for the parties that are also eligible to stand in real general elections.Rune Lykkeberg is editor-in-chief of the Danish newspaper Information Continue reading...

You can oppose Israel’s policies without killing Jewish people | Jo-Ann Mort
The majority of US Jews overwhelmingly oppose Netanyahu's policies. But subtleties get lost and truly unleashed people reactIt happened again. The third time this year that Jewish people were attacked with murderous intent in a major US city under the guise of the assailant caring about the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza. It's the second time that fires were set. The first happened when an attacker - a US citizen - broke into the official residence of Pennsylvania's governor in Harrisburg, on the evening of Passover and set fire to the residence. The only thing that saved governor Josh Shapiro and his family was a quick response from security guards, leaving only some Passover Haggadahs, the text that charts Jewish hopes for freedom and liberation from one generation to the next, to burn on the tables still set from dinner.About two weeks ago, there was the murder of two innocent Jewish Israeli embassy workers who were attending an event hosted by the The American Jewish Committee at the Jewish Museum in Washington DC on how to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza; these young people were chosen at random from a crowd apparently targeted intentionally since the murderer, again a US citizen, appeared to have wanted to hunt down and kill Jews in response to Israel - a sovereign country's - military acts. Tellingly, the gunman had a brief association to the far-left Party of Socialism and Liberation (PSL said in a statement that he is not a member and that his association with the group ended in 2017).Jo-Ann Mort is co-author of Our Hearts Invented a Place: Can Kibbutzim Survive in Today's Israel?

Community groups helped shield youth from gun crimes. US funding cuts have put them at risk again
Mississippi's Operation Good engaged teens in a range of programs, protecting them from violence - but that work is now in jeopardyMost days, Fredrick Womack and his team can be found scattered throughout Jackson, Mississippi, talking to groups of young Black men and teens - whether they're working, which bills need to be paid at home and if any brewing conflicts are at risk of turning violent. Through these conversations with young men, who are both perpetrators and victims of much of the city's violence, Womack hopes he can help steer them in a different direction.Womack, 51, is the co-founder of the non-profit Operation Good, which, in addition to this work on the streets, hosts a youth summer program and trash cleanups, and helps teen boys find odd jobs, like cutting lawns, so they can earn a few dollars instead of resorting to crime for income. It also offers critical resources for the community, like buying school clothes for kids and paying utility bills for families that can't afford them through its It Takes a Village program. That is the main underlying factor for violence," Womack said, people living in impoverished situations." Continue reading...
Move over Harry and Meghan: Britain’s real royal family are now dominating the US headlines | Arwa Mahdawi
Family fallout. Two feuding brothers. An ambitious American actor wife ... the Beckhams certainly seem to have a lot in common with the SussexesSo long, and thanks for all the jam. Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and queen of Montecito, recently announced that she is reimagining As Ever, her raspberry spread and flower sprinkle" business. In an interview with Fast Company, which Meghan conducted in fluent buzzword, the actor and entrepreneur said she is thinking bigger than jarred goods and partnering with Netflix to bring forth a vision in which content and commerce meet, not in a product placement way, but rather in an ideological way". (I think the ideology she is referencing here is capitalism). Meghan is now involved with so many different projects that she notes: If I had to write a resume, I don't know what I would call myself."It looks as though her husband, Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor, doesn't know what to call himself either.

Have we passed peak Trump? | Kenneth Roth
Since Trump returned to the White House, the checks and balances of US democracy have proved remarkably resilientHave we reached peak Trump? Is it possible that we have arrived at a moment, a mere four months into his second term, when the president's capacity to do harm is diminishing?That is undeniably a provocative question. Like any US president, Donald Trump remains immensely powerful. It is early days; he can still cause plenty of damage - and certainly will.Trump's attacks on the restraints on his power should be viewed not in isolation, but as part of a deliberate scheme to build an autocracy. Each step matters. He is attacking not just big law or Ivy League universities but democracy.Early opposition is important because resistance becomes harder over time as checks on presidential authority weaken.The temptation to save one's own skin should be resisted because it plays into the autocratic strategy of divide-and-conquer. A collective defense works best.Appeasement may seem like a way to calm the bully, but bullies see it as weakness, an invitation to demand more.Kenneth Roth, former executive director of Human Rights Watch, is a visiting professor at Princeton's School of Public and International Affairs. His book, Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments, was published by Knopf and Allen Lane in February Continue reading...
