Ron DeSantis’ Florida is where democracy goes to die, writes our DC bureau reporter Pema Levy. Fellow reporter Isabela Dias introduces us to Chris Rufo, the man helping DeSantis turn back the clock on social progress. In other stories, reporter Samantha Michaels writes how survivors of police abuse protect and help one another heal. Hannah Levintova tells us the story of Jessica Madison, who was a pioneer of the student loan cancellation movement. But, sadly, Jessica didn’t live to see relief become a possibility for millions of Americans. Also, we learn the story of women in the Merchant Marine who are finally speaking out after years of isolation and abuse.
