Act Out! [147] - No Sanctuary: From Mothers to Mayors, Rules for Radicals & Under the Influence w/ Tarbell
Wed, 2/7/2018

This week on Act Out!, elected officials could be the next group of people rounded up and thrown in a cell. While that might sound appealing depending on the official, the reasoning behind it is nothing short of an authoritarian nightmare. Meanwhile, U.S. residents who have lived here longer than I've been alive find themselves targeted for deportation.

Next up, if you want to organize in the face of rising fascism, some rules for radicals could aid you in your work. And finally, Wendell Potter, a former health industry big-wig, unveils his project to expose and deconstruct the corporatocracy.

If the Democrats’ theme of 2017 was Resistance, the theme for Democrats in 2025 needs to instead be Opposition — and these two GOP senators may be the models to emulate.
