Bolts is a digital magazine that launched in February 2022. It covers topics such as political change, from elections to institutions that shape public policy. Daniel Nichanian is the founder and editor-in-chief. Bolts operates through philanthropic grants and individual donations. A special feature of their site is their "What's On the Ballot" resource which tries to be "a cheat sheet of elections everywhere."
Bolts founder Daniel Nichanian says that the publication is for "journalists who have specific beats and might face trouble translating their beats into local hotspots, or policymakers, advocates and activists already interested in criminal justice or voting rights." Its content leans leftist. Anarchist activist Victoria Law is a contributor.
