Daniel and Jack are delighted to welcome back - after far too long an absence - the brilliant Amanda Rogers (AKA MsEntropy).

We pick Amanda's brains in a conversation about the complexities of the concept of terrorism, its relationship to national states, citizenship, and fascism, with special relevance to America in the grip of Trump, MAGA, and their apparatchiks. Amanda touches on recent events including the ICE / Border Patrol incursions, the under-reported Prarieland trial of protestors, and most especially the horribly topical issue of the US-Israeli military attack upon Iran.

Content Warnings, as ever.
