    This week's episode looks at a common theme uniting the cruel policies of the second Trump administration: the concentration camp tendency, an attempt to remove whole groups of people from society. From the homeless to trans people and the mentally ill, from Black folks to immigrants, our current president is looking to erase people from daily life, or even to physically expel them from society altogether.

    Andrea Pitzer discusses this approach, in which groups not complying with an authoritarian's idealized society get excluded in a widening circle. As a country we've allowed a billionaire class to rise, one that preaches a gospel in which they should never be inconvenienced or interfered with, no matter what cost that has for others. Andrea looks back to a book on young children that explains this phenomenon and shows how even preschoolers can understand it. Yet we've let an exclusionary impulse capture the nation. It doesn't have to be that way, and we can stop it.

  • How Antisemitism Warps — History's Most Flexible Weapon

    How Antisemitism Warps — History's Most Flexible Weapon
    Apr 24 2025

    Hate cultivated over time becomes a tool to destroy everything, and it's happening in America today.

Andrea Pitzer describes how the political usefulness of hatred of Jews in Europe became an all-encompassing conspiracy theory, in which Jews were both superhuman and defective, Marxists and capitalists. She traces how that conspiracy theory spread around the world. While the United States as a nation is much younger than these hatreds, the country has its own bigotries and exclusions that have been with us for centuries. Andrea looks at full citizenship and who gets excluded from it as a way to understand who gets demonized in America today. The Trump administration is binding all our conspiracy theories into one vast one, openly stoking hatreds to gain more power. The episode closes with ways to talk to people in your life who may be susceptible to these hateful (but for some, powerful) false narratives.

    Trump's Intolerable Acts
    Apr 17 2025

    By sending immigrants to a gulag in El Salvador, Trump is trying to seize the power to silence any American he wants.

You might record it. You could even videotape yourself or your actions. ------ This week, Andrea Pitzer traces the arc of the kind of renditions the U.S. government is doing right now and looks at how a clean through-line exists from Nazi tactics to the methods used to disappear immigrants today. She explores why the U.S. is in such a dangerous moment, perhaps the most dangerous of the last half-century. The system of deportation and detention that Trump is trying to build parallels the use and structures of past concentration camps, and Andrea walks listeners through the similarities. Going back to the Declaration of Independence, a beautiful part of our flawed country has been the expansion of protection against arbitrary detention at the whim of a despot. It's worth standing up for. As always, at the end, Andrea includes suggestions about what actions to take, reminding everyone that there are many effective things they can do right now. Not being able to fix every crisis in a given moment doesn't mean you can't push back against the administration in countless concrete ways.

informative and actionable information

Andrea does a great job of delivering the information you need without fearmongering or rage-baiting. She gives it to you straight and then follows it up with what you can actively and realistically do about it. This is the independent journalism and coverage we need to see in America right now.
