“You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It’s everywhere.” That was Mother Jones' big headline recently, when our reporters were out covering the “Hands Off” protests and witnessing the rise of a movement in places big and small, red and blue and purple. Some of the nation’s largest newsrooms chose to downplay it, but our team will stay on the story of the reemergence of an active, emboldened opposition. Please support our independent nonprofit newsroom.
