How to Register and Vote in the 2026 Midterms: A Free Guide to Share (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I know you don't need a random British woman to tell you the 2026 midterms matter. They matter for the future of the US, and for the rest of the world too.I know I also don’t need to tell you that Republicans losing seats won't fix everything overnight. It won't fix the economy, the attacks on free speech, or the danger marginalised people face just trying to exist in their own communities. But it will slow Project 2025 down. It will reduce the scale and speed of the harm. And it will give the m
The Beginning Comes After the End (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I just finished The Beginning Comes After the End, the sequel to the incredible Hope in the Dark, by writer and activist Rebecca Solnit.Hope in the Dark is one of my favourite books of all time - I have reread it several times since first picking it up as part of my anti-fascist bookclub, Hotties Hate Fascism.

Should I leave my dad behind? A letter from rural Texas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes I receive a letter that is so beautifully written and so heartbreakingly on the nose, that I want to share it as it is - no editing or context, because it does not need it. This is one of those letters. I think it so perfectly captures the complexity of the decisions that at-risk people are trying to make right now. Should I stay or should I go? When is the right time? Who do I take with me? And alongside that, woven into every heartbeat, the horror that the people around them - the pe
