Activists visited by the FBI at their homes, racial justice movement leaders subpoenaed, Palestine protesters detained. With chilling new directives like the NSPM-7 has everyone who is left of Mike Pence in the crosshairs of the regime. Independent journalist Ken Klippenstein talks about what the memorandum actually says, and who the FBI have begun to threaten.

Then, law professor and co-founder of CLEAR (which provides legal defense to movement organizers including people like Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk) joins to discuss how to beat back the crackdown on free speech. From Palestine to “antifa” to BLM to ICE protesters, and the non-profits and foundations that might support them, Kassem explains the state of government repression and the important fight against fatalism.
