Donald Trump at a campaign rally on November 8 in Hialeah, Florida. | Alon Skuy/Getty ImagesHe’s talking like a fascist. He’s planning fascist policies. He’s staffing up with fascists. Historically, the erosion of American democracy has happened subtly. In a country where democracy is basically a civic religion, politicians generally don’t announce their intention to attack it when running for office. The past decade of voter suppression laws, state-level rules... Read more ›

Lorena Spurio for VoxHow and why to stop shopping for more than you need — or even want. There are many reasons, as someone living in America in 2023, to buy less stuff. For one, everything just costs so much now — as Vox senior correspondent Emily Stewart recently reported, that has less to do with continued inflation than the fact that prices went up, stayed up, and have no...

Lorena Spurio for VoxExtend the life of your favorite clothes, furniture, and appliances with simple fixes. Gay Gordon-Byrne doesn’t think there’s any consumer product the average person can’t fix.

Lorena Spurio for VoxIt isn’t classist to say that Americans do not need hauls of dozens of garments. In a marketplace full of seemingly infinite choices, every piece of clothing purchased could be construed as a moral quagmire. Are you a bad person if you buy leather? What about vegan leather? Conversations about the relative importance of various, often opposed ethical concerns are rightly packed with tough, worthwhile questions and... Read more ›

Lorena Spurio for VoxI learned the hard way I couldn’t shop my way to a new self. The pile of recycling in the corner of my kitchen was taller than the counter at some points in the month. The precariously stacked boxes from Amazon, the Gap, Williams Sonoma, and direct-to-consumer brands I had found on TikTok threatened to fall over, though that didn’t stop me from adding another to the...

Lorena Spurio for VoxInfluencers will never influence us to buy less stuff. It’s antithetical to the job. For about five minutes a few months ago, people seemed to genuinely believe that our culture was entering the age of “deinfluencing.” “Step aside, influencers,” wrote CNN. “A new breed of ‘deinfluencers’ has arrived, and they’re saying that materialism and overpriced trends are no longer in style.” The idea of the “deinfluencer” was...

Judge Leslie Southwick testifies during his confirmation hearing. | Getty ImagesThe Fifth Circuit decided to obey the law, for a change. Last Friday, a federal appeals court nudged Louisiana toward redrawing its congressional maps to include a second Black-majority district. Although the new decision in this case, known as Robinson v.

But that hasn’t stopped more than a dozen candidates from staying in the race for the Republican nomination in the hopes that they can dethrone him — or at least vie for a position in a potential second Trump administration.
