ep. 227 - Terrorist Watchlist Nominations

In order to be put on a government terrorist watchlist you have to be “nominated.” At the beginning of Trump’s second term in office, there were 6,000 names on that list. Most of them were Muslim. Now, according to today’s guest Daniel Boguslaw, there are more than two million. There are only about 4.5 million Muslims in all of America. I do not think they put half of American’s Muslim population the last (as much as they would like to). No, now we are on the list. And it doesn’t take much to get on there anymore. Dan will tell you how speaking negatively about technology might get you nominated. We also do some shit talking about other journalists. Support Dan’s good work here. And if you’d like to join the upcoming book club for Jasper Craven’s God Forgives, Brothers Don’t, to yell at him about Graham Platner, send me an email.
