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 appeal for your support: 10 Days to raise $50,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 10 days to hit our $50,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
