The Money Behind 'Der Spekter': Who is Funding the Bundist Revival?

The April 2026 release of Molly Crabapple’s 'Here Where We Live Is Our Country' has kicked off a major media push to frame the Jewish Labor Bund as the new alternative to Zionism. While the buzz focuses on the movement's 'Doikayt' ideology, it ignores the corporate machinery behind the book launch and the tiny scale of these 'New Bundist' chapters. This revival is happening just as traditional Jewish institutions are starting to crack, but the movement’s bloody history with the Bolsheviks is being left on the cutting room floor. We’re tracking the money behind the publication and the growth of the digital network known as 'Der Spekter.'

The Arpaio Model: How a Failed Experiment Became a $8.5B Federal Machine

Most people look at Joe Arpaio’s time in Maricopa County as a relic of the past, but they're missing the bigger picture. The model hasn't disappeared: it just grew up. That $8.5 million 'Tent City' has evolved into a massive federal machine with 224 detention centers. Even though a 2015 ruling called out the racial profiling involved, the system hasn't slowed down. ICE is now managing a record 70,000 detainees, and the money is flowing to private contractors instead of local sheriff budgets.
