Walmart has long stymied attempts to unionize any part of its business.
Which is why the breakthrough union victory won by 800 workers at a Mississauga, Ontario, regional distribution center is worth closely examining. jacobin.com/2026/10/canada-l…

Alex Gibney’s “Musk” throws everything at the world’s first trillionaire, from an AI avatar in a gaming chair to first-person-shooter animation.
The result is a four-hour slog that exhausts even Musk haters — and preaches a defeatism that serves the Right. jacobin.com/2026/10/review-g…

The Israeli government has threatened to strip the NAZA directors of their citizenship and prosecute them.
Their crime is making a film that confronts war guilt head on, something American culture has spent decades medicalizing out of existence. jacobin.com/2026/10/naza-fil…

Right-wing accounts of France’s protests have widely cast them as an Islamist plot.
It’s a clear attempt to reframe social conflict as a clash of civilizations, and to justify a militarized response. jacobin.com/2026/10/france-s…

Public discussion of Christianity is often caught between New Atheist dismissal and sweeping, transhistorical assertions of its universal value.
A new book sidesteps the culture war, revealing a Christianity indebted to the Roman world of Virgil and Augustus. jacobin.com/2026/10/christia…

From unsafe workplaces to the climate crisis, people often avoid problems they feel powerless to change.
That denial weakens the very solidarity needed to confront them — but facing reality together can aid the collective power to act: jacobin.com/2026/10/cognitiv…

Donald Trump and J. D. Vance have called France’s protests the work of Muslim and Third World invaders.
Ignoring the movement’s roots in high schooler demonstrations, they are using violent episodes to paint a dark picture of racial conflict.
