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
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 (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
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
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.
