Everybody Wants to Rule the World Ft. Mia Wong
Mia from the It Could Happen Here podcast joins us to talk about how billionaires are trying to control information to such a degree that they own the very concept of truth itself, from paying more to rig elections than they'd be taxed by their political adversaries, to buying out legacy news outlets, to Elon's new abomination "Grokipedia".

NSPM-7: An Authoritarian Nightmare Ft. Ken Klippenstein
NSPM-7 labels the beliefs millions of Americans hold as ideas related to domestic terrorism. It gives the Federal Government sweeping authority to impose huge sentences for minor offenses, reappropriates funding towards joint task forces for hunting down "domestic terrorists" and also allows the government to strip the non-profit status of organizations the administration deems hostile. For now, it seems like Ken is one of the few journalists taking it seriously, so we brought him on to talk.
