I’m sorry to end the week on such a scary note, but I don’t make the news, I just report it. It’s NICOLE SANDLER again, guest hosting another edition of the The BradCast today. [Audio link to the full show is below.]
I read an article at Vox titled “Two Supreme Court cases could destroy what remains of the Voting Rights Act“. It so thoroughly freaked me out that I immediately reached out to its author, IAN MILLHISER, and invited him to join me on The BradCast.
The fact is, Trump stacked the courts with right wingers who’ll stop at nothing to get and retain power. And it’s not only that. We’re headed down a really ugly road, as is evidenced by watching the wingnut travesty that began today in Orlando known as CPAC. One look at the stage and you realize something’s not quite right. Look closely and you’ll figure it out. There’s no question that it’s in the shape of the Odal Rune, a decidedly fascist symbol that was worn as a badge by the SS during WWII.
I started the show with the latest news. And ended it with some lighter fare because after all of this depressing stuff, we needed something to laugh about. I hope it worked!…
