I've been studying the growth of the multiracial right with Dan HoSang, @joelowndes.bsky.social and Micah English for the last few years. This work has included attending far right conferences and rallies, listening to right-wing media (especially podcasts), and interviewing key influencers.

I have heard from multiple sources today that lawyers who provide Know Your Rights presentations in ICE detention centers have been kicked out completely.

Left Organizing Is in Crisis. Philanthropy Is a Major Reason Why.
Progressive philanthropy lacks good strategy, so too many of our organizations are hollow—and that left us unable to prevent a second Trump term.
