My job is remote but now we’re expected to come in for weekly “collaboration days” and monthly “connection events.” Feels like a full-time commute is creeping back in. Should I push back or is resistance futile?

Careful with this. It sounds like they're trying to get some measure of hybrid work going. This is very gentle (possibly, thin end of the wedge). If you're in a union, talk to them.
Take each step on its merits, rather than what it might lead to, one day. If this proposal won't work for you, say so - politely, clearly, with detailed explanation of why it won't work. If its possible, try it out. If its not working, ask to be excused (see above for writing tips); your comments will likely carry more weight of you've given it an honest try.
