Like authoritarian regimes around the world, this regime is now arresting journalists like Don Lemon to arrest the truth, to arrest all journalists into submission, to turn them all into propagandists for the regime.

From Minnesota to Georgia, Trump’s plans to interfere in the midterms are becoming more dangerous
The seizure of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia follows the DOJ’s demands for voter data in Minnesota.

Everyday White men are being shown in real time that this regime’s talk about protecting their lives and livelihoods from the rest of us is just another lie. Everyday White men are being shown in real time that they actually need protection from this regime like the rest of us.

Words matter. Any media outlet describing ICE’s activities as “immigration enforcement” is circulating propaganda for Trump’s regime.

To boil resentment, racist propagandists exaggerate Black wealth with the force they exaggerate Black criminality. Black people are criminalized whether we are low income (poor people steal!), middle income (he stole that opportunity from me!), or upper income (no way she made all that legally!).

The descriptor I love to see in book reviews: “eye-opening.” Especially in this time as we are bombarded with propaganda that aims to close our eyes to reality. So feeling good about this new Booklist review on Chain of Ideas, which you can pre-order now.

An op-ed in the NYT by Zaid Jilani argues that the best way for Democrats to combat the “white identity movement that empowers the Stephen Millers of the world” is to pursue “a colorblind approach to politics.”

After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, marchers blared the best way we can honor him. The same could be said on this day. Let us end racism “through persistent revolt, through persistent agitation,” as King once said, “through persistently rising up against the system of evil.”

How are ICE agents kidnapping Native Americans? A persisting claim of great replacement theorists: White people are indigenous to the nation. These propagandists have articulated this idea (and religious and ethnic derivations) in the United States, Australia, Israel, South Africa, and elsewhere.

First it was ban books, like @ibramxk.bsky.social's 'How to be an Antiracist.
Then it was don't say Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
Now it's, 'you have an accent, show me your papers?'
When do we just call it what it is, Government sponsored racism?

Several people have asked: Will there be an audiobook for Chain of Ideas? Will I be narrating? Well, yes and yes.
Here’s the proof: in the studio, getting it done.
