Unbreaking

The United States is experiencing institutional collapse at a speed and scale that are difficult to understand, especially through feeds and updates designed to atomize our attention. We believe that mapping the damage done and its human costs—and the pushback and resilience work already underway—is necessary groundwork for building and retaining political agency.

In our work at Unbreaking, we’ll help orient and ground our fellow Americans in clear and rigorously cited breakdowns of what’s happening to our government and why it matters. To that end, we’re building a set of frequently but not frantically updated pages written by and for ordinary people. Each page will serve as a backgrounder for a specific issue, including essential context, what’s happened so far, and what countermoves are in play.
