Really loved the show. I’m sorry you’re taking a break, but I completely understand why. Thank you for all your work!!
Another fabulous interview with Ruth, on 8/24. I subscribe to her Substack “Lucid” and try to catch her every chance I can, as she has invaluable insights into these turbulent times of trump and trumpism. Her info never gets old or repetitive, and indeed we need continual reminders as well as the latest information she offers in tracking authoritarianism around the world.
THANK YOU!
Smart guy who likes baseball and thinks the GOP is ridiculous. What’s not to like?
Great interview with Brian Klaas
