Analysis For Republicans, watching or reading more liberal news was linked to lower meta-prejudice and meta-dehumanization. For Democrats, higher exposure to conservative news was associated with lower meta-prejudice. When Republicans consumed more conservative news, they report higher meta-dehumanization.

Guides & Manuals 30+ Guides To Taking Anti-Fascist Action
Anti-fascist researcher and author Spencer Sunshine (check out his latest book Neo-Nazi Terrorism and Countercultural Fascism: The Origins and Afterlife of James Mason’s Siege!) recently put up an excellent post on his blog listing 30 handy guides to actions that every anti-fascist should be reading through and taking notes from in 2025. You’ll find the original blog post here. We wanted to do a bit of a deep dive into those recommendations and add a few of our own, in case you think it’s time to start making plans and taking action to protect your community from the threat of modern-day fascism.

Theory & Literature Rank-and-File Rebels: Theories of Power and Change in the 2018 Education Strikes
In spring 2018, a wave of rank-and-file rebellion swept schools across the south and southwest United States, among other places. Educators in West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Arizona pushed their trade unions, school boards, and school administrations to shut schools down to increase wages, halt rising healthcare costs, and restore public education funding. Despite stringent anti-union labor laws, rank-and-file educators organized on the periphery and sometimes beyond their reticent state unions to take direct action, contributing to a resurgence in educator uprisings across the US and the globe. Rank-and-File Rebels explores and historicizes the spring 2018 “red” state strikes, offering insights into the racial, gendered, and political contexts of educators’ organizing in the lead-up to, during, and soon after the strikes. Through interviews with strike organizers across four states as well as the authors’ own experiences in education labor organizing, this book analyzes theories of power and change, approaches to unionism, and the significance of solidarity and social justice union approaches in contemporary educator labor movements.
