Announcing Our
Newest Issue
Featuring
Our fifty-fourth issue, featuring: a dive into the ugly, twisted world of "Prison Tycoon" mobile games, a guide to the best anti-fascist plays, an introduction to the wonderful British habit of playing pranks on politicians, and close looks at anti-Nazi sexologist Magnus Hirschfeld and hip hop legend Jay-Z. Plus: A map of "Trump's Alcatraz," a stick-on beard kit for aspiring politicians who need to look rugged, and MUCH more. This issue also coincides with the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina here in New Orleans, so we've interviewed Rebuilding New Orleans author Sarah Fouts and legendary community organizer Malik Rahim about the storm's lasting impacts.
