    The Left Can Win in Small Cities. David Morales Is Showing How. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    David Morales’s campaign for mayor of Providence, Rhode Island, is providing a model for how a progressive candidate can oust an incumbent. When David Morales shared with me that he was planning to run for mayor of Providence, I told him I wasn’t so sure it was a good idea. It was February 2025, and we were getting beers at the Wild Colonial, a bar that seven years earlier had hosted my watch party-turned-concession speech for a primary challenge I’d run against an incumbent Democrat (Rhode Isla

    Dolly Parton Understood That Working 9 to 5 Doesn’t Really Pay the Bills in Today’s America (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Social mobility has ground to a halt. Why that’s lousy for American music. Near the end of her life, Dolly Parton was among America’s wealthiest self-made women—a musician with over 100 million records sold and a savvy entrepreneur helming a large business empire. But throughout her long career, she highlighted her hardscrabble origins in rural Tennessee, as one of 11 children in a sharecropping family that got up “before sunup to get the work done up” to “work in the fields ’til the sun had gon

    The German Far Right’s Shocking Victory in Saxony-Anhalt Is a Warning for Germany (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Alternative for Germany just shattered the political firewall meant to keep the party out. Now the country’s establishment is scrambling to stop the rise of the far right. The beaming face of Alice Weidel, a leader of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), only deepened the humiliation. Election results in Saxony-Anhalt, a small eastern German state, blindsided Germany. The AfD—widely regarded as an extremist party—took nearly 44 percent of the vote. It doubled its previous share amid

    A Reckoning Comes for Nepal (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A year after its Gen Z uprising, Nepal faces a struggle not only for democracy and human rights but for climate survival. On a Monday in mid-April, I walked through the informal settlement in the Thapathali neighborhood of Kathmandu, situated on the banks of the sacred, flood-prone, and sewage-filled Bagmati River.
