Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ attempt to smear CAIR as a “terror organization” has backfired spectacularly. CAIR-Florida, backed by the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights group, has now dragged DeSantis and his network of political operators into a legal arena where discovery rules—not talking points—will define the truth. The fight is not just about one organization; ...

The First Amendment doesn’t vanish when our speech takes the form of code, maps, or phone alerts. When the Executive Branch leans on Apple or Google to erase tools that help communities see what government agents are doing in public, it’s not “app store housekeeping.” It’s censorship in a suit and tie. In December 2025, ...

A little-known cybersecurity company founded by veterans of Israel’s Unit 8200 now helps manage and monitor devices across more than 70 U.S. federal agencies, including the Pentagon and Homeland Security.

As support erodes among younger Republicans, Israel has quietly poured millions into U.S. political marketing—geofencing church pews, hiring Trump-linked digital shops, recruiting influencers, and even trying to shape how AI chatbots answer Israel-Palestine questions. The strategy aims first at evangelicals; next comes the Democratic base and Gen Z. Here’s what’s happening, why it matters, and ...

In a historic vote on November 10, 2025, the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) formally designated the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) a terrorist organization—citing decades of collective punishment, occupation, and systematic violations of international law.

At the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on October 21, 2018, Professor Mahmood Mamdani unpacked a myth baked into post–Cold War politics: the West’s habit of sorting Muslims into “good” and “bad.” His thesis is blunt and useful for Dearborn today—this binary isn’t about theology at all. It’s about power, geopolitics, and how states ...

Donald Trump’s political worldview has long mirrored Fox News’ prime-time programming. As new reports show, the former president’s latest saber-rattling over Nigeria echoes the network’s sensationalized style of fear politics. What does it mean when a media company effectively becomes a commander-in-chief’s brain trust—and what lessons does Dearborn draw from this troubling media-political feedback loop? ...

As some Greens squabble over Zohran Mamdani’s imperfections, the real story is bigger: what happens when a left-leaning mayor actually wins New York City—and whether finance, real estate, and their political allies wield a de-facto veto over popular mandates.

On October 2, the U.S. Department of Labor published an interim final rule that rewrites how the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) is calculated for H-2A farmworkers.

In a stunning turn for British politics, the Green Party under new leader Zack Polanski has surged to record levels—matching, and in one reputable tracker fractionally edging, Labour’s vote share—while membership rockets past 100,000 (and reportedly toward 115,000). It’s not just a poll blip; it’s a structural story about values, climate, fairness, and foreign policy ...

Major outlets consistently call Israelis “hostages” while labeling Palestinians “prisoners” or “detainees”—even when thousands of Palestinians are held without charge. Words aren’t neutral; they shape empathy, blame, and policy. Here’s a close read of headlines, data on administrative detention and conviction rates, and how framing flips moral intuition—plus what a fairer, human-rights-centered vocabulary might look ...

As Gaza’s civilian death toll mounted, America’s flagship newsrooms tripped over their own rules—soft-pedaling language, delaying recognition of mass casualties, and narrowing Palestinian voices—while independent outlets and “third wave” platforms filled the gap. The latest press-freedom clash with the Pentagon shows where this road leads—and why Dearborn’s readers, anchored in community and conscience, must insist ...

Artificial intelligence is moving from our phones into the barracks, the skies, the seas—and our streets.

Lebanon’s youth are not leaving because they want to; they are leaving because a cartelized, sectarian state has made staying feel impossible.

Excerpt:Political violence isn’t an aberration in U.S. history—it’s a through-line from the colonies to Reconstruction to January 6. A 2025 lecture by political scientist Desmond King argues that America’s constitutional order has long accommodated violence outside the state, exposing the limits of the classic “Weberian” monopoly on legitimate force. Meanwhile, on Europe’s edge, a new ...
