Like Ukraine can't defeat fascism alone, neither can America. We need the world to stand up to MAGA's lawlessness. Making the case on Gaslit Nation is Elie Mystal, Justice Correspondent for The Nation and author of Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America.
If Democrats win back power, they must use it maximally. Mystal, a prophetic voice in the fight for democracy, breaks down how, including by showing what Biden and the Democrats should have done to curb Trump and MAGA extremism when they had the chance. (We'll be shouting we told you so all the way to the gulag!) He explains why Merrick Garland was – as we warned here on Gaslit Nation – a threat to democracy, what actions Democrats and the people must take now in the limited time we have left, and why New York State Attorney General Tish James serves as a vital reminder of the importance of local resistance. (Remember her iconic video calling out Elon Musk?) Most importantly, Mystal calls on world leaders to divest from America, an urgent strategy that helped bring down apartheid.
This week's bonus show, out Thursday, available in full for our communities on Patreon.com/Gaslit and GaslitNation.Substack.com that keep our show going, looks at America as a corporation, sharing important insights into how the sausage gets made, and shares resources on fighting Flock cameras.
