There was a messianic fervor in Trump's Second Inaugural speech that wasn't evident eight years ago. As dark as the 2016 American Carnage diatribe was, there was still the sense that Trump was a salesman pitching a vision he didn't quite believe in but thought he needed to sell in order to legitimize himself to his own ragged ranks of followers. Mainly, he seemed surprised to find himself where he was. The man who returned to power this week seemed sterner, surer of how to leverage his authority and who to use it against, more confident of his own invincibility. Was this hubristic exhibition infused by the bullet…

Donald Trump wants to buy Greenland.

As he left office, President Biden warned of an emerging oligarchy in this country — rule by and for a small number of wealthy people and corporations. After donating heavily to President Trump's campaign, the fossil fuel industry in particular has already begun to reap return on their investments. Welcome to the age of "Oil-Garchy." 
A wise man once told me that when the pendulum gets to the bottom it can only go up. "But how will I know it has gotten to the bottom?" I responded. Trump's November 5 election and January 20 inauguration can be seen as a bottom, but perhaps they are only the tip of what 
As President Trump takes office, one of his first agenda items is to slash taxes on corporations and the rich. The results will be more inequality and less revenue for the programs Americans rely on. The good news? States can make their own tax codes more equitable. And everyday people can help. In our state, 
Within days of his return to office, President Donald Trump unleashed a chilling display of authoritarianism, providing a stark reminder of the specter haunting the United States: the specter of fascism. As reported in the New York Times, his actions underscored a vision of governance steeped in cruelty and unchecked power. With the stroke of a pen, Trump pardoned 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6th insurrection, dismantled environmental protections, opened Alaska's wilderness to expanded oil and gas drilling, terminated Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across federal agencies, and signed…

As the Trump administration launches what it touts as the largest mass deportation campaign in U.S. history, we look at how immigrant communities and advocates are fighting back. The administration already faces some setbacks, including in its attempt to end birthright citizenship, which a federal judge halted Thursday from going into effect because it was "blatantly unconstitutional." Thursday's ruling is the first in what's expected to be a long legal battle against Trump's anti-immigrant agenda. "We're in a moment where there's a ton of fear in the community,R…
The prominent British Egyptian activist Alaa Abd El-Fattah remains imprisoned in Cairo even after he completed his five-year sentence last September. Fattah came to prominence during the Egyptian revolution as a blogger and political activist, and he has been jailed multiple times by the authoritarian government of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for his advocacy.

The three women in the painting stoop low in the field, their hands reaching for leftover stalks of wheat. Their bent figures dominate the foreground, emphasizing the physical toll of their labor. Jean-Franàßois Millet's "The Gleaners," painted in 1857, immortalized this act of necessity: gleaning, the collection of leftover crops after the harvest. Rooted in agrarian traditions, the term originates from the Old French glener and the Latin glennare, meaning "to gather." For centuries, gleaning had been a lifeline for the rural poor in England and France — a legally recognized right that allowed the…
