I picked up a copy of 1951’s Christmas edition of the Radio Times today for pennies, and for all that its contents make for fascinating social history, it’s the gorgeous cover by the American artist Roland Hilder that I’m most beguiled by.

Today we grieve 1,000 days of genocide perpetrated by the Israeli and US governments against Palestinians in Gaza. For 1,000 days, the Israeli military has systematically flattened Gaza — and now Lebanon — to make it impossible for Palestinians and Lebanese to return to their homes.

New, in Light & Air! How do we reconcile the forced patriotism of the 250th anniversary with the real facts of our history? This Fourth of July, American socialists must fight to build a new national narrative that can overturn our country's civil religion.

"When he heard the secret of love, Yemleeha fell silent and mute; and Meksileena became the confidant of the angels’ mysteries. They made Misleena drink the wine of Divine Oneness; Mernoosh and Debernoosh also drank it without pause. Only a single sip remained for Shazenoosh from the cup of Kefeshtatyoosh.
