Issue 55 is here! It's a very special edition of Current Affairs, with every article devoted to animal welfare.

We’ve recruited leading scholars and activists to lend their voices in this issue, but we’ve done it with the signature Current Affairs satirical and artistic flair.

Community colleges are a uniquely American institution: one that we can be proud of. They are by no means a panacea for all the challenges our fractured society is facing, but they are a potential piece of the puzzle. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-com...

The Community College Is One of America’s Greatest Achievements—And It Needs Our Help

Community colleges unite students across class and race—something elite universities only pretend to do. Preserving and expanding them may be key to repairing our divided nation.

Despite the substantial value and proven track record of community colleges, they are under serious threat. If access to them is jeopardized for working class families, it would mean one less opportunity for a group of people who already have far too few. www.currentaffairs.org/news/the-com...

Community colleges provide real educational opportunities for working families and can enable the type of genuine racial diversity universities and their elite cohorts claim to value.

We must take this stuff seriously. Please, none of this “he just has some controversial opinions” stuff. Don’t call him “America’s most canceled man” or something.

If you are going to interview Fuentes, it’s unforgivable to set aside his neo-Nazism.

The Rise of Nick Fuentes Should Horrify Us All

A neo-Nazi is trying to fill the void left by the failures of the two major parties. Unless Americans are offered a visionary alternative, Fuentes’ toxic ideology may flourish.

Nick Fuentes alarms me because he really does seem a lot like Hitler.

He is, in his own way, charismatic. The stuff he says is deranged, but he says it with such conviction and self-assurance that plenty of credulous followers will swallow it.

Even though Nick Fuentes has been open about his admiration for Adolf Hitler, he has been treated with kid gloves by people with massive platforms who should know better, failing to tell their readers and listeners about Fuentes’ true beliefs.

Nick Fuentes is open about his love of Hitler. He is an outright Holocaust denier. Fuentes is a rabid Christian nationalist who has promised to purge the country of non-Christians. It should come as no surprise that Fuentes is also a misogynist.

Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes is a neo-Nazi. But you wouldn’t necessarily know that if you saw him on some of the popular podcasts he’s been on lately, with fairly mainstream shows hosting him for appearances that have garnered millions of views.
