The most recent data and analysis from the midterm elections:
– Trump’s base of support, including his dwindling approval ratings – Why capitalists in general have overwhelmingly supported him, and which particular segments of capital are his most enthusiastic supporters
– How workers and Labor unions fare.
To what degree are Trump’s overall moves toward
authoritarianism—attempts to restrict election access, discrediting elections, mobilizing ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) storm troopers, attacking free speech, labeling all his enemies and critics terrorists, and more—moves toward fascism or dictatorial police state control?
The recent report from the U.S. State Department that traces all opposition to Trump to Cuba… and much more.
Book launch (paperback):
Cody R. Melcher, Olivier Maheo, Esther Cyna (eds), Class, Race and the US South: American Politics and Society through the Lens of Michael Goldfield’ Work, Haymarket, 2026.
