HOW TO WRITE A PEOPLE’S HISTORY OF ANTIFASCISM
[[link removed]]

By Shane Burley
Waging Nonviolence

Antifascism is far from a monolith; it is a growing social movement
that includes people who are desperately trying to break new strategic
ground. Activists have spent the last few years adapting to the
threat posed by the far-right. And today, looking back at those
experiences, there are powerful reflections about what the future of
antifascism could look like.

VOTER SUPPRESSION IN MILWAUKEE

By Bruce Murphy
Urban Milwaukee

Republican Robert Spindell, a member of the Wisconsin Elections
Commission, is proud as a peacock of the work Republicans did to
suppress the vote in Milwaukee in the November 2022 election. Spindell
sent an email to Republicans in the district hailing the party’s
success at undermining the democratic process.

DATING AFTER 60

By Eleanor J. Bader
Ms.

It’s rare for books about love—let alone sexual intimacy, hookups
and the desire for companionship—to intertwine with aging. _Gray
Love_ is unique in showcasing men and women’s own voices in this
adventure: the nitty-gritty headiness of first dates, the joy of
getting to know someone’s history, politics and quirks, and the
inevitability of decline.

GOP — GEORGE (SANTOS)’S OWN PARTY

Why should he resign when his Republican colleagues have repeatedly
coddled, excused, tolerated, and ignored Trump’s numerous fibs,
misleading statements, conspiracy theories, and failed attempt to
overthrow the US government?

DSAER: WHY I RAN FOR OFFICE

By Don Jones
Democratic Left

I ran on three points: no to charter schools; yes to hiring more
tutors and counselors, and providing a safe teaching and learning
environment. I participated in every forum to which I was invited,
whether online, in-person, or in print media. By doing this, I got to
know the other candidates. Better yet, they learned that my ideas were
getting a response. 

SNEAKERS GO FASH

Walmart yanked a military hiking boot emblazoned with “KKK” from
its online store after complaints from a civil rights group. The
“Harsuny Men’s Tactical Military Hiking Ankle Boot Outdoor
Trekking Shoes” bore a red “KKK” logo on the tongue of shoes
available in black and tan.

UNION REACHES OUT TO THE UNDOCUMENTED

By Maximillian Alvarez
The Real News

Many workplaces are marked by a real tension between different types
of workers: undocumented vs. citizens, union vs. non-union, and more.
New York City’s Construction and General Building Laborers’
Union Local 79 has been working to overcome these divides by
intentionally reaching out to undocumented and non-union workers in
the construction trades. 

Fixing a Broken Food System

Independent Media Institute

Our organizations and nearly 200 others urged the mayors of C40 to
kickstart immediate action to transform our destructive food
system. Municipal leaders around the world (and particularly those of
C40’s nearly 100 major cities, constituting a quarter of the global
economy) must seize a rapidly shrinking opportunity to shape food
culture by prioritizing plant-based foods.

BEFORE THEY DISAPPEAR: LINDSAY AND HERSCHEL

By Keith Reed
The Root

“If they destroy Herschel it will deter people of color from wanting
to be a conservative Republican, because you’ll just have your life
ruined,” Graham said. “The conservative movement for people of
color is on the ballot in Georgia.”

JOHN FOGERTY GETS HIS SONGS BACK

By Melinda Newman
Billboard

At a time when Fogerty’s peers such as Bruce Springsteen, Bob
Dylan  [[link removed]]and Neil
Young are selling their copyrights for hundreds of millions of
dollars, the iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has done the opposite:
He recently bought a majority interest in the global publishing rights
to his historic CCR song catalog, including “Proud Mary,” “Down
on the Corner,” and “Fortunate Son.”
