🚨 BREAKING: ​Pope Leo XIV: ​"The world is being dragged to ruin in the hands of a handful of tyrants."

This is also true of India. Or the industrialist family's chauffeur takes the hit.

That’s what drugs, alcohol, and being a racist rapist will do to you.

For the past 9 months, I've been investigating Andrew Tate's empire of sexual exploitation — drawing on thousands of private messages and sealed court files, as well as interviews with the Tates, their associates & more than a dozen alleged victims. Here's what I found: newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

Lots of these Western rights and civil society organizations are basically jokes. Their stand on the Gaza genocide and Israel has proved that andhttps://x.com/ChrisLynnHedges/status/2076781681684656231?s=20

PEN America, an organization founded to defend persecuted and censored writers, has once again made a mockery of itself with its call to protect Israeli writers from discrimination. Yes. Israeli writers. Its most recent screed, “A Silent Moratorium,” is so tone deaf and embarrassing that it triggered a widespread backlash. PEN America’s president, Dinaw Mengestu, resigned in protest. PEN America accepted money from the Israeli government to fund its literary festival for five years and only stopped in 2017, following heavy criticism. It failed to defend the few courageous voices inside Israel who denounce Israeli apartheid and genocide, or did so only belatedly. It remained silent as Palestinian writers were deplatformed or blocked from publishing. It regularly promoted Zionist authors such as A. B. Yehoshua, who has long dismissed the reality of settler-colonialism in Palestine. It co-sponsored a book event with Zionist actor Mayim Bialik, who has donated to the Israel Defense Forces, is an outspoken ceasefire opponent, regularly circulates anti-Palestinian and Israeli military propaganda and frames pro-Palestinian activism as “antisemitic.” PEN America placed an employee under investigation for sharing an article critical of Zionism and later fired him after he wrote an article explaining why he was placed under investigation. It functioned as a propaganda arm for the Biden administration and Ukrainian government, including cancelling a panel that included Russian writers — under pressure from PEN Ukraine — despite the fact that they were critics of the Russian government. It amplified lies about Julian Assange and refused to classify him as a journalist. PEN America’s board includes writers such as George Packer, labeled one of “Bush’s useful idiots” by Tony Judt for cheerleading the invasion and occupation of Iraq, along with real estate and investment firm CEOs. It has been hijacked by wealthy backers, corporate donors and apologists for imperialism and genocide. PEN America lost its way over a decade ago, when in 2013 it appointed a former Clinton State Department official, Suzanne Nossel, as its Executive Director. That year, I won the PEN Center USA First Amendment Award. I was scheduled to participate as a speaker at the PEN World Voices Festival when Nossel’s appointment was announced. I refused to take part in the festival and resigned from PEN America in protest. PEN America’s latest post, which refers to the genocide in Gaza as a “war,” is in the spirit of Nossel. Nossel participated in the State Department’s efforts to discredit Assange and the WikiLeaks disclosures. In May 2012, when NATO held a “Summit Meeting” in Chicago, Amnesty International USA — with Nossel as the executive director — sponsored a “Shadow Summit.” She dotted the city with billboards reading: “NATO, Keep the Progress Going. Human Rights for Women and Girls in Afghanistan.” Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who once said 500,000 dead Iraqi children killed by U.S. sanctions was “worth it,” was invited to speak at Nossel’s event. Nossel left Amnesty International USA within a year, before ending up at PEN America. She resigned in 2024 after numerous writers — angered at the organization’s failure to defend Palestinian writers — withdrew from the annual PEN World Voices Festival in New York and Los Angeles, resulting in the cancellation of the event and its annual Literary Awards. PEN America was once run by writers who fought on behalf of writers persecuted across the globe. I knew some of them, including Susan Sontag, Norman Mailer, Robert Jay Lifton, Joan Didion and Russell Banks. They were fierce critics of U.S. militarism, capitalism and imperialism. They were steadfast champions of freedom of expression. They would be sickened by what PEN America has become.

Why does hateful content keep thriving online? What to Fix Executive Director @riovictoire explains how tying revenue to engagement turns outrage into a profitable business model, allowing actors to scale harmful content across markets even faster with generative AI. The problem is not simply AI. It is the incentives platforms have created and their failure to consistently enforce their own policies.
