I spoke with some legal experts about Pirro’s reflecting pool case against the canoeist. It’s a really, really tough road for prosecutors. They need to prove not only malicious intent, but the value of a peeling pool slab. “I think a DC jury is going to be mad.” www.huffpost.com/entry/jeanin...

How do you catch a fascist? Well, anti-fascists like @montrealantifa.bsky.social keep telling us. We just need to listen. @letsgomathias.bsky.social wrote a book exploring these tactics and the way Antifa has continued to keep fascism at bay for generations. I spoke to him on today’s episode:
