Mother Jones - January/February 2020

In this issue

We need a massive climate war effort, and only massive R&D can save us, writes Kevin Drum in “Warming Is Over!” This cover story and the illustrations, by John Tomac, evoke the Allies’ mobilization during WWII as a model for today’s climate action. In “Count Me Out,” Ari Berman points to Republican-controlled states as the new front line in the war on voting rights. Their campaign aims to increase restrictions on who can vote, and redraw district lines to disadvantage many voters of color. Tim Murphy profiles Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a rising star of the Republican Party, in “All the Rage.” And Monika Bauerlein, in “Bullies United,” reminds us why hard-hitting journalism scares the world’s authoritarians.
