PROJECT 2025’S SECRET TRAINING VIDEOS

By Andy Kroll and Nick Surgery
ProPublica

Dozens of never-before-published videos were created for Project
2025’s Presidential Administration Academy. The vast majority of
these videos were provided to ProPublica and Documented by a person
who had access to them. The Project 2025 videos coach future
appointees on everything from the nuts and bolts of governing to how
to outwit bureaucrats. 

ELECTION DENIERS MONKEY WITH VOTE CERTIFICATION

By Justin Glawe
Rolling Stone

Nearly 70 pro-Trump conspiracists are election officials in key
battleground counties — and they are poised to make a giant mess on
Election Day.

ANTI-ABORTION CENTERS

By Rebecca Hart Holder
CounterPunch

Anti-abortion centers promote themselves as reproductive health care
providers, but typically aren’t licensed to provide medical
care. These deceptive facilities subject patients to enormous amounts
of disinformation to dissuade them from seeking an abortion — or
even make them believe they _can’t_. 

GOP’S ANTI-DEMOCRACY RHETORIC

By Christopher Miller
The Conversation

While some observers hoped that the aftermath of Jan. 6, 2021, might
provide an opportunity to cool political tempers, that didn’t
happen, at least in Congress. Instead, antidemocratic rhetoric
increased again after the attack on the U.S. Capitol and continued at
high levels thereafter.

TENANT UNIONS GO NATIONAL

By Zach Perez
KCUR

The Kansas City, Missouri-based tenants rights advocacy group joined
other tenants unions in Illinois, Connecticut, Kentucky and Montana to
form the Tenant Union Federation. TUF hopes to create more effective
organizing practices among tenants nationwide and push for federally
regulated rent control.

BIKES AND COMMUNITY

Community bike workshops, also known as bike co-ops or bike kitchens,
epitomize the relationship between bicycles and
self-sufficiency. These co-ops first appeared in Europe in the
1980s and in California in the early 2000s, and can be
found worldwide now. The online community Solarpunk
Travel has charted more than 100 bicycle cooperatives in the United
States.

FIGHTING AIPAC
[[link removed]]

By Hanna Trudy
The Hill

Progressives are growing increasingly angry with the American Israel
Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) after “squad” member Rep. Cori
Bush’s (D-Mo.) primary loss. Bush was unseated in a primary
where AIPAC spent aggressively against her. Just weeks prior, the
group poured $15 million in a primary to defeat Rep. Jamaal Bowman 
[[link removed]](D-N.Y.). AIPAC invested
nearly $24 million all together.

ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTION

By Kelsey Piper
Vox

Since a decade ago, there’s been a serious maturation of the field
of animal advocacy. It has integrated the many varying perspectives on
what advocates are trying to achieve, and somewhat grown past the
frictions of very different people trying to work together toward a
common goal. And people have accomplished real and worthy things, and
learned a lot about what works.

SAVING PUBLIC ED
[[link removed]]

By Nora De La Cour
Jacobin

Right-wing efforts to undermine public schools are designed to shock
the public into permanently lowering our expectations for what public
schools can be. Those efforts may be backfiring.

THE COMPLEXITIES OF SOLIDARITY
[[link removed]]

By James Kilgore
Truthout

Witnessing the genocide in Palestine, activists are connecting dots of
the military-industrial and prison-industrial complex, white
supremacy, U.S. imperialism, settler colonialism, patriarchy and toxic
masculinity — connections that had often disappeared behind the
pressure of the system to isolate struggles and sectors of the
oppressed population into silos.
