Mother Jones - March/April 2025

In deze editie

Donald Trump promised revenge. Among his many targets are immigrants, whistleblowers, journalists, civil servants, trans people, Democrats, and independent-minded Republicans. In this issue, we explore how they’re fighting back. We also tell the story of Taylor Cadle, who stood up to her abusive adoptive father and to the law enforcement officers who didn't believe her. We report on how the legal industry’s monopoly on advice ensures that few people can afford a lawyer—but how an unlikely coalition is fighting to change that. Plus, while many programs try to reduce recidivism, journalist Adam Hochschild visits one that appears to work.
