  Fascism: What It Is and How to Fight It, written by Leon Trotsky in 1933, is a critical analysis of the rise of fascist movements in Europe, particularly focusing on Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler. Trotsky argues that fascism is not a sudden, irrational outburst of violence but rather the result of deep structural crises in capitalist society, which the ruling class seeks to resolve through authoritarian means. He explains that fascism arises when the traditional political establishment is unable to suppress revolutionary movements from below (such as workers' uprisings or socialist revolutions) and when the capitalist system is threatened by economic collapse. 
  Trotsky highlights that fascism is a tool of the bourgeoisie, aimed at preserving the existing social order through terror, militarism, and the suppression of democratic freedoms. However, it is not simply a reactionary force; it has its own set of internal contradictions, as fascists simultaneously defend capitalist interests while attacking the political establishment and the working class. 
  Trotsky warns of the dangers of fascism's rise and stresses the importance of building a united front of the working class and the Left to prevent its spread. He critiques both Stalinism and social democracy for their failures to adequately respond to the fascist threat, emphasizing the need for a revolutionary approach to combat the fascist menace.

  Every day, ICE arrests hundreds of illegal immigrants with criminal records—murderers, rapists, gang members who didn't just arrive, they were sent here. While Americans debate what happens after immigrants arrive, almost no one asks the critical question: Who is sending them, and why?
   
  The invisible coup is happening in plain sight. Over 10 million border encounters occurred between 2021 and 2024. Chinese nationals crossing illegally increased 7,300% in three years. Fentanyl killed 74,000 Americans in 2023. Your tax dollars fund NGOs facilitating the illegal immigration that federal law prohibits. This isn't incompetence—it's coordinated transfer of sovereignty so systematic that even victims can't name it.
   
  This explosive investigation reveals who profits from border chaos: Politicians accepting millions from industries dependent on cheap labor. Corporate CEOs suppressing American wages while lobbying for open borders. NGO executives building billion-dollar empires on government contracts. Mexican cartels earning $13 billion annually from human smuggling. Chinese intelligence positioning military-age males throughout America without vetting. Foreign governments weaponizing migration against U.S. interests.
   
  Discover how politicians rotate between government and lucrative advocacy roles, profiting from the sovereignty they sell. Learn which corporations fund immigration expansion while their workers face wage suppression. See tax documents proving NGOs receive billions in taxpayer funds while advocating against enforcement. Understand how census manipulation redistributes congressional power based on non-citizen populations. Read documented evidence of coordination between elites, NGOs, cartels, and foreign adversaries—each pursuing different goals but achieving the same result: America's borders erased.

  “A reminder of the perseverance, the gall, the intelligence it took to obtain what now seems an inalienable right, an obvious pillar of any democracy.” —Los Angeles TimesAlice Paul began her life as a studious girl from a strict Quaker family in New Jersey. In 1907, a scholarship took her to England, where she developed a passionate devotion to the suffrage movement. Upon her return to the United States, Alice became the leader of the militant wing of the American suffrage movement. Calling themselves “Silent Sentinels,” she and her followers were the first protestors to picket the White House. Arrested and jailed, they went on hunger strikes and were force-fed and brutalized. Years before Gandhi's campaign of nonviolent resistance, and decades before civil rights demonstrations, Alice Paul practiced peaceful civil disobedience in the pursuit of equal rights for women.With her daring and unconventional tactics, Alice Paul eventually succeeded in forcing President Woodrow Wilson and a reluctant U.S. Congress to pass the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote. Here at last is the inspiring story of the young woman whose dedication to women's rights made that long-held dream a reality.“Alice Paul was a visionary and a pioneer . . . She went where most men and women would not have gone.” —Hillary Clinton“I value the book for introducing [Paul] to the next generation of feminists with a taste for revolution.” —Vivian Gornick, Ms. Magazine“Mary Walton vividly brings [Paul] to life again in this brilliant, important and highly readable book. America's understanding of its history will be all the richer for it.” —Gene Roberts, Pulitzer Prize–winning author

  An insider's look into the largely anonymous volunteers in local party organizations who make decisions in elections with profound implications for American democracy. 
   
   
   
  Although scholars have long recognized that local American parties play an important role in elections, surprisingly little is known about the individuals who lead these typically small, volunteer-based organizations. As David Doherty, Conor M. Dowling, and Michael G. Miller show in Small Power, local party leaders influence the electoral process in myriad ways: They recruit and support candidates, interface with state-wide and federal campaigns, and get out the vote in their communities. Drawing from a survey of over 850 Democratic and Republican local party chairs, a nationally representative sample of voters, and dozens of in-depth interviews, the authors describe how parties are organized, who party chairs are, and how they serve the party. Leveraging novel experiments that illuminate how chairs make choices about which individuals to recruit as candidates—as well as whether those choices reflect voters' preferences—Small Power sheds new light on how seemingly mundane local decisions can shape party goals, influence candidate pipelines, and affect who ends up winning elections.

  "Phenomenal . . . Offers us possibilities for rescuing the concept of democracy from its fatal entanglement with racial, heteropatriarchal capitalism." —Angela Y. Davis 
   
   
   
  "A compelling and inspiring book that belongs in our movements and our classrooms." —Chandra Talpade Mohanty, author of Feminism Without Borders 
   
   
   
  Become Ungovernable is a provocative new work of political thought setting out to reclaim "freedom", "justice", and "democracy", revolutionary ideas that are all too often warped in the interests of capital and the state. Revealing the mirage of mainstream democratic thought and the false promises of liberal political ideologies, H. L. T. Quan offers an alternative approach: an abolition feminism drawing on a kaleidoscope of refusal praxes, and on a deep engagement with the Black Radical Tradition and queer analytics. 
   
   
   
  With each chapter anchored by episodes from the long history of resistance and rebellions against tyranny, Quan calls for us to take up a feminist ethic of living rooted in the principles of radical inclusion, mutuality, and friendship as part of the larger toolkit for confronting fascism, white supremacy, and the neoliberal labor regime.
