[<em>Audio link to the full show is below.<\/em>]\n<p>I read an article at <em><a href=\"http:\/\/vox.com\">Vox<\/a><\/em> titled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/22286213\/supreme-court-voting-rights-act-arizona-brnovich-democratic-national-committee-republican-party\">Two Supreme Court cases could destroy what remains of the Voting Rights Act<\/a><\/a>&#8220;. It so thoroughly freaked me out that I immediately reached out to its author, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/imillhiser\">IAN MILLHISER<\/strong><\/a>, and invited him to join me on <em>The BradCast<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>The fact is, Trump stacked the courts with right wingers who&#8217;ll stop at nothing to get and retain power. And it&#8217;s not only that. We&#8217;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&#8217;s not quite right. Look closely and you&#8217;ll figure it out. There&#8217;s no question that it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kanew\/status\/1365424819412606977\/photo\/1\">in the shape of the Odal Rune<\/a>, a decidedly fascist symbol that was worn as a badge by the SS during WWII.<\/p>\n<p>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!&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\".\/Images\/Speaker_Icon_24.png\" style=\"width: 24px; float: none; vertical-align: middle;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px; line-height: 18px;\"> <b><i><a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/audio\/ BradCast_NicoleSandler_IanMillhauser_VRAindanger_022621.mp3\">CLICK TO LISTEN OR DOWNLOAD SHOW!&#8230;<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><center><b>* * *<\/b><\/center><i>While we post <a href=\"https:\/\/BradBlog.com\/BradCast\"><\/i>The BradCast<i><\/a> here every day, and you can hear it across all of our great affiliate stations and websites, to automagically get new episodes as soon as they&#8217;re available sent right to your computer or personal device, subscribe for free at <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/id803467610\">iTunes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pandora.com\/podcast\/the-bradcast-w-brad-friedman\/PC:1000025838\">Pandora<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/tunein.com\/radio\/The-BradCast-with-Brad-Friedman-p477565\/\">TuneIn<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.google.com\/feed\/aHR0cHM6Ly9icmFkYmxvZy5jb20vcG9kY2FzdGdlbi9icmFkY2FzdC9mZWVkLnhtbA\">Google<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-BradCast-w-Brad-Friedman\/dp\/B08JJRN86R\/ref=sr_1_1\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/bradblog.com\/podcastgen\/bradcast\/feed.xml\">our native RSS feed<\/a>!<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sorry to end the week on such a scary note, but I don&#8217;t make the news, I just report it.
