Revealed: Trump's feds went fully fascist in response to Portland BLM protests

We've Got Issues

This week, Joshua Holland kicks off the show with a look at how Elon Musk is turning Twitter into a massive vector for right-wing disinformation.

Then we are joined by Slate's Dahlia Lithwick to talk about her new book, Lady Justice, and the new challenges journalists face covering a Supreme Court that decides cases on vibes rather than the law in order to achieve conservative goals.

Finally, we speak with Oregon Public Radio reporter Jonathan Levinson about some eye-opening revelations in a newly redacted Department of Homeland Security report of how relentless pressure from above resulted in a blatantly political and often violent response to Portland racial justice protests in 2020 by federal law enforcement.
