Chicago: Winds of Resistance
By Kelly Hayes
Truthout
Organizers and activists across Chicago talk about the current state of the struggle, what we’re up against, and what we need you to know about this moment of turmoil, escalation, and resistance. Our governor, our mayor, and most importantly, the people of Chicago have held the line against Trump’s efforts to use our city to further normalize his fascist domestic military occupations.
What Trump Can and Cannot Do About Elections — Legally
By Lily Hay Newman
Wired
“Trump makes all these pronouncements that he’s going to end mail voting, that voting machines can’t be trusted, but he can’t do that. He certainly has the bully pulpit, though, to mislead and confuse the public—and the power to intimidate.”
Who Will Replace Charlie Kirk?
By Steven Zeitchik
The Hollywood Reporter
As conservatives mourn the death of the right-wing activist and campus influencer, a new collection of blog posts, social offerings, videos and podcasts continuing his movement is expected to flourish, as a slew of people who worked with and learned from Kirk stand by to take the baton.
The Right’s Family Code: Submit!
By Arie Perliger and Catherine Jarry
The Conversation
Many viewers are introduced to tradwife content through videos on cooking or decorating – posts that could appeal to a wide audience. But at the core of the tradwives movement are more divisive beliefs: that women are meant to “submit” to their husband’s leadership, for example, or are not meant to work outside the home.
Labor Red Alert
By Hamilton Nolan
In These Times
Organized labor today is under an assault that is worse than anything we have seen since the WW2 era. At the very time that it is most vital for working people and unions to rise to the defense of democracy, they are crippled by three related crises: the organizing crisis, the legal crisis, and the political crisis.
Battle for the Bible
By Liz Theoharis
TomDispatch
“Christian” politicians regularly misuse Biblical passages to blame the impoverished for their poverty. We must build the strength to make a theological and spiritual vision of everybody-in-nobody-out a reality and create the capacity, powered by faith, to make it so. Now is the time. May we make it so.
Night Patrol in DC

The Nation
With only their cell phones, medical kits, and the confidence to assert their rights, volunteer night patrols follow and record the armed troops who have taken over the capital.
Schools Fight Back
By October Krausch
Truthout
Under pressure from state legislatures, campus leadership, or both, university faculty have been confronting a crisis created by deepening austerity regimes for decades. Faculty are scrambling to meet these challenges head-on, planning teach-ins, recruiting members for unionization drives, and organizing lobbying days at the state legislature, all as new threats seemingly crop up by the day.
Voting for Reproductive Rights

Elections over the next several months in Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and elsewhere are not just bellwethers for the midterms—they’re vital to protecting women’s rights.
Why Boycott Target?
By Erin Aubry Kaplan
Capital and Main
After Trump assumed office for the second time and immediately began cracking down on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, banning them in government and vilifying them in general, Target has been the focus of a nationwide boycott initially sparked by activists in the chain’s home state of Minneapolis and led by Black faith groups.
