A Tech Savvy Left with Taylor Lorenz & Mehdi Hasan (Ep 317)

While Lil' Bovino got the boot, right wing influencers are somehow still licking it. We discuss the regime and its minions’ reaction to the killing of Alex Pretti with Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo News. Plus, Trump has clearly proven himself to not be an anti-war president: from kidnapping Maduro to bombing Iran to threatening to invade Greenland. Now, his bogus “Gaza Peace Plan”--as laid out by son-in-law Jared Kushner--ensures he'll forever remain king of the waterfront property built on graves. Then, tech journalist Taylor Lorenz joins to talk about ICE hoovering up data, why protecting “children’s online safety” is often a guise for expanding surveillance, and how if we don’t act the internet as we know it will be over. Speaking of over, let’s check in with “good Zionist only” TikTok.  Featuring: Taylor Lorenz (54:39) https://www.youtube.com/taylorlorenz https://substack.com/@taylorlorenz  Take action for internet privacy: https://www.whatissection230.org/ https://www.badinternetbills.com/ Mehdi Hasan (5:26) https://www.youtube.com/@zeteo https://substack.com/@mehdirhasan *** See Francesca LIVE Saturday February 14th at 9:30pm Pasadena for New World Disorder: ⁠https://www.showclix.com/event/new-world-disorder-Valentines-Day-Edition-02-14-26-9-30-pm⁠ *** Support the show becoming a patron https://www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom and get exclusive perks.
