Mother Jones - March/April 2020

Is time up for Sen. Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s chief defenders? In our cover story, “Southern Strategy,” Kara Voght profiles Jaime Harrison, the Democratic Party operative and challenger to Graham. And as the #MeToo movement spreads, more men accused of sexual misconduct are suing their alleged victims for defamation. In “She Said, He Sued,” Madison Pauly reports on the ramifications that go well beyond the courtroom. The stunning photography by Danny Wilcox Frazier in “The Black Hills Are Not for Sale” captures the mood of Delilah Friedler’s reporting on the centuries-long struggle by the Lakota people to reclaim stewardship of their historic lands. From the 1868 treaty through the discovery of gold, the incident at Wounded Knee almost 50 years ago, and the recent demonstrations at Standing Rock against the Dakota Access pipeline, a new battle has emerged to protect their sacred sites from uranium mining.
