NO TIME TO SPARE?

This morning, activists from the Families Belong Together Campaign, the National Immigrant Justice Center, Mamás Con Poder, and others walked out of a Senate hearing to protest the Trump administration’s plan to hold immigrant children in detention indefinitely. To ensure this crucial protest doesn’t get overlooked in a busy news cycle, follow the hashtags #FamiliesBelongTogether and #EndFamilyDetention and tweet, post on Facebook, or tell friends about Trump’s horrific plan and the brave activists fighting against it.

GOT SOME TIME?

This Thursday marks one year after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico, an event that was followed by months of callous neglect by the federal government and an estimated 2,975 deaths. Groups including the Center for Popular Democracy Action, VAMOS4PR, and Organize Florida are organizing vigils to demand a just recovery. Find one near you and attend or host your own.

READY TO DIG IN?

We already knew that Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court would be terrible for abortion access, the environment, and workers’ rights, among other issues. Now, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has come forward with an allegation of sexual assault perpetrated by Kavanaugh. Senate Republicans are moving forward with Kavanaugh’s nomination, despite the seriousness of the accusation, and on Monday, Ford will bravely testify in front of the Judiciary Committee. Join activists engaging in direct action in DC on Monday to demand the Senate vote “no” on Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Hold the powerful to account by supporting The Nation

The chaos and cruelty of the Trump administration reaches new lows each week.

Trump’s catastrophic “Liberation Day” has wreaked havoc on the world economy and set up yet another constitutional crisis at home. Plainclothes officers continue to abduct university students off the streets. So-called “enemy aliens” are flown abroad to a mega prison against the orders of the courts. And Signalgate promises to be the first of many incompetence scandals that expose the brutal violence at the core of the American empire.

At a time when elite universities, powerful law firms, and influential media outlets are capitulating to Trump’s intimidation, The Nation is more determined than ever before to hold the powerful to account.

In just the last month, we’ve published reporting on how Trump outsources his mass deportation agenda to other countries, exposed the administration’s appeal to obscure laws to carry out its repressive agenda, and amplified the voices of brave student activists targeted by universities.

We also continue to tell the stories of those who fight back against Trump and Musk, whether on the streets in growing protest movements, in town halls across the country, or in critical state elections—like Wisconsin’s recent state Supreme Court race—that provide a model for resisting Trumpism and prove that Musk can’t buy our democracy.
