The impact of escalating and militarized ICE raids, threats to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, and the loss of respect for the US on a global stage, is overwhelming. What is happening? Where should we look for trustworthy news and in-depth analysis in these crazy times?
Like us, do you worry that corporate, profit-driven networks cannot share the daily news without bias, whether from the right or the left? Independent journalism is hard to find and it can be difficult to sort through. Free and public sources depend on donations for their work product.
Below are some of the newspapers, magazines, and podcasts, from the US and abroad, that we’ve been reading and listening to as we try to unravel the sometimes-shocking effects of Trump’s Project 2025 agenda.
