This week, for the first time, I’m sitting down for an episode with a current student. I’ll call her “T” since, as we all know, people on the internet can be strange. T is a Palestinian-American senior, raised in Texas, who has spent the past three years in the Bowling Dojo, taking Global Studies, US Government and Politics, and Comparative Government and Politics.

Her entire political life has unfolded in the era of Trump-era politics, so I invited her on to share her perspective on the corporate media environment, American political institutions, meme culture, and what it feels like to be heading to college in what she described as an emerging fascist state.

She’s got a great future ahead of her and I think her perspective is worth sharing ad taking seriously. T is headed to a Big Ten university this fall to study business.
