When the federal government flooded Minnesota with thousands of ICE and DHS agents in December 2025, local and state officials largely failed the people they were elected to protect. So communities protected each other — building an infrastructure of resistance that drew on lessons learned in Chicago, Los Angeles, and on the streets of Minneapolis in 2020.

Weeks before a gunman opened fire at Brown University in December 2025, killing two students, a campus worker says he warned security about suspicious behavior in the engineering building where the attack later took place. No action was taken. The missed warning, workers say, reflects a broader pattern of ignored safety concerns and strained labor conditions at the Ivy League institution.

From ancient theories of wandering wombs to Freud’s hysteria diagnosis, emergency rooms where women wait longer for care to AI systems trained on biased datasets, medicine has repeatedly positioned women’s testimony as unreliable. The consequence: delayed diagnoses, unnecessary suffering, lost organs, and sometimes lost lives.

Over the course of a month reporting between Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and cities across the West Bank, Iñaki Estivaliz found that the defining story was not only political but structural. It was about movement—who boards a bus without inspection, who is required to change vehicles at a checkpoint, who carries a passport that opens gates, and who relies on a permit that can be revoked.

There is a growing anxiety that young people are either too distracted, too disillusioned, or too digitally conditioned to sustain democratic life. Yet across small cities and town halls, a different story is unfolding. Abdul-Razak Osmanu’s rise from teenage volunteer to elected official offers a window into how a new generation is navigating cynicism, fragmentation, and algorithmic politics.

Western climate discourse often centers carbon metrics and conservation targets while ignoring the human communities displaced by privatization, tourism, and extractive expansion. But climate collapse is not merely ecological — it's relational. It reflects a breakdown in the reciprocal relationships between land, governance, and community. Indigenous women have long articulated this truth, and their struggles illuminate what a truly transformative climate response would requi

Introduced as a post-Brexit solution to severe staffing shortages, Britain’s care-worker visa has instead exposed migrant workers to systemic exploitation by tying immigration status to individual employers and offering weak oversight. Although the government has since revoked licences, tightened sponsorship rules, and ultimately closed overseas recruitment under the banner of “restoring control”, these political shifts have failed to address the structural conditions that en

What unfolded on Speedwell Avenue is not an isolated incident, but a case study in how dissent is being reframed—and disciplined—in the United States. As immigration enforcement becomes more militarized, the state increasingly relies not just on force, but on narrative: pathologizing resistance as hysteria, criminalizing documentation as violence, and recasting non-compliance as moral failure.

As states move to expand their role in immigration enforcement, federal agencies retreat from longstanding protections, and courts increasingly resolve disputes through emergency orders, the traditional boundaries governing immigration law are becoming less clear. This piece examines how that shift is unfolding—and what it means for constitutional accountability and migrant communities nationwide.

Across Massachusetts and beyond, an intensified Immigration and Customs Enforcement presence has reshaped daily life for immigrants, legal residents, and citizens alike—turning routine acts like leaving home, driving to court, or crossing the street into moments of calculated risk. Federal data and on-the-ground reporting reveal that the majority of those swept into detention have no criminal convictions, even as enforcement tactics have grown more aggressive, opaque, and vio

A dispatch tracing how the anti-protest apparatus built for BLM has now migrated into labor organizing, immigration solidarity, and Palestine-related dissent, allowing cities and states to frame nearly any disruptive action as a threat to national security.

The 2020 uprisings against police violence appeared to signal a rupture—a long-awaited challenge to racial capitalism, state violence, and U.S. empire. Yet rather than producing structural transformation, much of that revolutionary energy was absorbed into nonprofits, NGOs, and corporate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives.

As winter approaches, families across the country are preparing for an impossible reality: shrinking grocery budgets, dwindling SNAP balances, and food banks with long lines and empty shelves. The administration’s newly expanded work requirements and reduced emergency funding threaten to cut assistance to millions who are already skipping meals to feed their children.

How the rollback of trans rights reveals feminism’s fault lines—and why intersectional solidarity is the only way forward.
