So great to be back on Death Panel, to talk the new red scare, the threats both empty and dangerous from the Trump administration, and how they are trying to build a fascist repression international!

We’re back! In our latest, we speak with Vicky Osterweil @vickyacab.bsky.social about the Trump administration’s declaration of a renewed red scare, painting the left as “deformed,” a “fatal cancer to civilization,” and a threat to “normal, healthy, ordered living.” www.patreon.com/deathpanelpo...
