RSH 43 -- Fascism Is Already Here (feat. Q) (7.23.2020)

Saturday Jul 25, 2020

Recorded July 22, 2020. Adam and Peter are joined by Q (Andray Domise) of Rezistans Nwa, a newly-founded Black resistance podcast network. They talk about Trump's use of federal agents to snatch protesters and put them in unmarked vans in Portland, his expansion of this, and this is an example of authoritarianism that's been long in the making by both Republicans and Democrats. Then they pay tribute to the late Michael Brooks, a leftist journalist and commentator who passed away recently.
