In her new book "Why I Am Not a Feminist: A Feminist Manifesto" Jessa Crispin skewers some of feminism’s worst tendencies and laments its adoption by the mainstream. But the problem with her vision, writes Maggie Doherty, is that it misconstrues feminism’s past, and thus offers the wrong prescription for the present.

Apartheid in South Africa has been officially dead now for decades. But its effects still manifest themselves in dramatic ways today, 22 years later. In "South Africa’s Fault Lines" photographer @johnny_miller_ takes to the sky to tell the story of how the country is still defined by massive inequality and stark segregation despite its civil rights gains.

Members of the National Socialist Movement kick back after a rally in rural Texas. The group aims to unite America’s white nationalists in a single movement. “They always attempt to silence us,” says Jeff Schoep, the organization’s leader. “But they always fail miserably. Thankfully, we still have freedom of speech here.” In "Hate in the Age of Trump," photographer @grief and @vanjones68 document how America's culture of hate is growing and adapting.

@grief snaps a photo of a member of the Traditionalist Worker Party, which calls for Christians to take up white supremacy, before a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, three days before Trump’s election. The group’s co-founder, Matthew Heimbach, calls Trump a “gateway drug” for white nationalism. In "Hate in the Age of Trump," photographer Johnny Milano and @vanjones68 turn a critical eye toward the growing numbers and resolve of hate groups in America.

Members of the Confederate White Knights get dressed, and armed, for a rally in rural Maryland. While organized Klan violence is rare, a recent study found that Americans are seven times more likely to be killed by homegrown right-wing extremists than by Islamic terrorists. In "Hate in the Age of Trump," @vanjones68 and photographer @grief take us inside America's flourishing culture of hate.

A swastika armband—part of the “battle dress uniform” of the National Socialist Movement—is laid out in preparation for a rally at the Georgia State Capitol on Hitler’s birthday. Last year, in a makeover designed to “mainstream” neo-Nazis, the group dropped the swastika and replaced it with an Odal rune worn by Nazi troops in World War II. In "Hate in the Age of Trump," @vanjones68 and photographer @grief take us inside America's flourishing culture of hate.

Hate groups exist all across the United States—coming soon, quite possibly, to a neighborhood near you, writes @vanjones68.

Trump rose to power with a blustery, populist message. He promised to "drain the swamp" and shakeup the establishment. But since taking office he's done precisely the opposite. Under Trump, conservatives are now poised to continue the radical pro-business anti-worker legacy of Reagan and Bush, and privatize everything in sight. In "Trump's Big Agenda" Kim Phillips-Fein argues that deep down, Trump shares with Andrew Carnegie the belief that corporate leaders alone have the right, the power, and the obligation to rule.

Donald Trump’s worldview relies more on bravado than briefing books. Yet, despite his seeming inability to cobble together a coherent ideology, the president is pursuing a right-wing agenda that rests squarely on a long tradition of conservative ideas popularized by the once preeminent policy shop, @heritagefoundation. In "The D.C. Think Tank Behind Donald Trump" our news editor Alex Shepherd takes us inside how the Heritage Foundation returned to prominence with a vengeance, and is now shaping the president's playbook.

Immortality has been the holy grail of humanity for about as long as humans have been aware of our own deaths. And with true Silicon Valley hubris, tech geeks have been obsessed with it since the very beginnings of the tech boom, believing that death is simply a problem like any other that can be solved by a startup. In "To Be a Machine," the Dublin-based writer Mark O’Connell infiltrates groups of transhumanists with the aim of discovering how they think and live.

The BBC's groundbreaking documentary @planet.earth.2 with its meticulously filmed high-definition images, dazzled audiences across the world. But with its emphasis on camera work over education, writes @colindickey, the series comes across more like a desperate cataloging of soon-to-be-extinct animals than a well-intentioned effort to save the vanishing world it seeks to document. What "Planet Earth" offers us, in the end, is less a documentary than a lush and stunning collection of final glimpses and last looks.
