Take it from Muslim Americans: America’s counter-terrorism has done little more than criminalize innocent people. And now those same bogus tactics are being used to root out far right extremists, like the news that the plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor was an FBI sting operation. Is this the best way? Leena Al-Arian, director of Coalition for Civil Freedoms joins the podcast to explain. Plus, the sweet-taking “liberal redneck” comedian Trae Crowder on America running out of Covid money and abortion rights being trampled in states across the country. Finally, an all con-artists edition of Sext Elect Overthrow with the Tinder Swindler, Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes. It’s way harder than it sounds. As always, join the Patreon for this week’s bonus story: the latest drama between Disney and Desantis over the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida. Nothing a gender non-binary fox can’t solve.
