    The Accelerating Project to Extend Abortion Bans to All 50 States (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    For the anti-abortion movement, overturning Roe v. Wade was never meant to be the end of the road. As destructive as the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was—it reversed Roe and permitted states to ban abortion—it did not eliminate abortion. In fact, since the decision, more people have had abortions, thanks to the widespread availability of medication abortion dispensed remotely. “The fight for life is far from over,” proclaimed the state of Louisian

    Trump’s Vile Campaign to Link Trans People and Political Violence (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Donald Trump returned to power in large part through a campaign of scapegoating, promising to rescue his supporters from the immigrants and transgender people who he claimed endangered America. That these MAGA-designated outgroups posed no threat to the country was no obstacle, so long as Trumpworld found new ways to pitch that narrative and keep it going in ever more distorted forms.

    The Left Is Building Power. That’s Why Dems Are Slamming “Woke 1.0.” (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The effort to relitigate the social and political earthquake of 2020 is undergoing yet another hopefully brief revival. Back in May, New York City Councilmember Chi Ossé quipped on X: “Woke 1 was crazyyyy.” Last Sunday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez repeated Ossé’s maybe-joking comment on ABC’s This Week, in seeming agreement, amid a slew of questions about a new, allegedly radical, wave of Democratic candidates, and whether “the movement”—the unignorable rebellion against the power of

    Trump’s DOJ Tried to Break a Texas Activist Community. It Failed. (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last summer, Bruno was in a Chinese class when he found out that three of his close friends—Ines Soto, Elizabeth Soto, and Savanna Battan—were among those arrested after a noise demonstration the day before, outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention camp in Alvarado, Texas. While Bruno was working to locate his friends in the jail system, federal prosecutors were telling the public that the demonstration was “a planned ambush.” When Bruno found the Sotos and Battan in a county jai

    Todd Blanche Is Claiming That He Can Ban Abortion In Any State (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In July, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was the featured speaker on a call convened by the White House Faith Office. At the time, the conversation was billed as off the record. On Tuesday morning, however, Politico reported that it had appeared on the YouTube channel of Intercessors for America, a Christian-right group that bills itself as “not just a policy and prayer organization, but also a revolutionary community of prayer and action for our nation.” That Blanche made this appearance w
