Truthout is a vital news source and a living history of political struggle. If you think our work is valuable, support us with a donation of any size.
Cultural critic Henry Giroux surveys the ascent of the neofascist style in American politics — from Trump’s position amidst the ruin of democratic institutions and social order, to the elevation of White supremacy and unchecked corporatism – and calls for the left to resist authoritarianism and reclaim solidarity and democracy’s radical potential.
Henry is author of the essay “Militant Hope in the Age of the Politics of the Disconnect” for Counterpunch and War Culture, Militarism and Racist Violence Under Trump for Truthout.
An urgent fundraising appeal: 10 Days to raise $50,000
Thank you for reading Truthout today. We have a brief message before you go —
Unfortunately, donations are down for Truthout at a time when media is under immense pressure. Trump is arresting journalists, Big Tech is censoring independent news, and economic conditions for media have been worsening for years.
Simultaneously, movement media is vital in the fight against Trump’s authoritarian reign. Our mandate to tell the truth, share strategies for resistance, and speak against fascism is ever more urgent in this deluge of political censorship. Yet, we are struggling to meet our publishing costs when our work is so urgently needed.
If you can support Truthout with a one-time or monthly donation, you will make a significant impact on our work. Please give today during our fundraiser (10 days left).
