Host Jared Holt interviews journalist and author Shane Burley, who has been covering protests in Portland, Oregon, on the ground. Demonstrations in the Rose City have taken place for 70 consecutive nights, drawing the attention of national press and the brutality of federal officers. Burley explains the scene at the protests, what some national media coverage is missing, and the problems with right-wing media spin about what has happened so far.

Burley is the author of Fascism Today: What It Is and How to End It and his work has appeared in publications including NBC News, Jacobin, The Daily Beast, Political Research Associates, and more.
