POLLS SHOW DIVISION ON MIGRANT TRAFFICKING
[[link removed]]
By Kaleigh Rogers and Zoha Qamar
FiveThirtyEight

A poll fielded in the days after the Martha’s Vineyard flights
found that Americans were evenly split over whether or not they
approved of Texas and Florida sending undocumented immigrants to
northern cities without giving those cities notice.

LABOR STIRS

The 11th hour deal
[[link removed]] that
prevented a crippling strike at the nation’s freight railroads is
the biggest win for US unions in years. It also showed the power that
unions can still wield, especially when a strike threatens to deal
a body blow to the nation’s supply chain and economy. More than
100,000 union members are voting on whether or not to ratify the
tentative agreements.

CHATTANOOGA HIGH SCHOOL WALKOUT AGAINST BRUTALITY

Chattanooga Times Free Press

About 200 students and some teachers walked out of class at East Ridge
High School, in protest of a Tuesday arrest in the school gym that was
the subject of a viral video. The footage shows a white school
resource officer attempting to restrain a Black student, Tauris
Sledge, 18, on the bleachers by pulling his hair and pushing him to
the ground. 

THE SHERIFF FELLOWSHIP

By Jessica Pishko
Slate

Over the course of a week, eight sheriffs—all white men—chosen
from the more than 3,000 in the country stayed at the Waterfront Beach
Resort in Huntington Beach, California, attending a series of
discussions, lectures, and fireside chats steeped in the
far-right-wing Claremont Institute think tank’s heady
intellectualism and radical ideology. 

OPEN ANTI-SEMITES RIDING THE GOP
[[link removed]]
By Jonathan Chait
New York magazine

The GOP may not be an antisemitic party. Indeed, it has managed to
maintain a big tent that includes both Jewish ultrahawks and their
most paranoid enemies. Nevertheless, it has become a party in which
antisemitism has gained a foothold.

YOUNG VOTERS: SUPERHEROES OF DEMOCRACY
[[link removed]]
By Dakota Hall
The Progressive

For the past two election cycles, young voters have been the
superheroes of our democracy. In 2018, they turned out in record
numbers to take back Congress from Trumpism. In 2020, in the midst of
a global pandemic and widespread economic uncertainty, half of all
young people aged 18 to 29 voted, an increase of 11 percent from
2016. 

QANON GOP
[[link removed]]
By Will Bunch
The Philadelphia Inquirer

No one predicted that U.S. authoritarianism would come with a
bat-guano crazy musical soundtrack — music that sounds like a Bible
Belt altar riff but is actually tied to the weirdly popular QAnon
conspiracy theory whose legion of followers believe there’s an elite
global cabal of child-trafficking, baby-blood-drinking liberal
politicians and movie stars.

PROSECUTORS PLEDGE NO ABORTION BANS
[[link removed]]

A growing group of prosecutors is promising to use their charging
discretion and not prosecute abortion-related conduct now that many of
these laws are beginning to take effect. One of the groups organizing
this effort is Fair and Just Prosecution, a nonprofit that supports
elected prosecutors who are looking to reimagine the justice system. 

UNIONS FIGHT FOR EDUCATION
[[link removed]]
By Eleanor J. Bader
Truthout

Bills to restrict the freedom to teach and learn have sparked outrage
— and organizing — on campuses throughout the country. In addition
to increased COVID-inspired health and safety concerns and an
ever-increasing spike in the number of low-paid contingent laborers,
campus workers are mobilizing in every region of the U.S. and pushing
for a New Deal for Higher Education. 

DISABILITY JUSTICE ACTIVISTS SPEAK

Many Americans with chronic illness or disabilities — whose numbers
have grown due to long COVID — feel they’ve been left behind,
discarded as an acceptable consequence of the return to
“normal.” We asked 11 disability rights advocates about their
experiences during the various stages of the pandemic and what’s
next in the fight for disability rights and inclusion.
