Trump's No Longer the Joke, He's the Status Quo w/ journalist Will Potter (G&R 355)
from Green & Red: Podcasts for Scrappy Radicals · host Green and Red
In our latest, we talk with author and journalist Will Potter about the new status quo that will be the second Trump administration. We discuss the threats to immigrant communities and the First Amendment that protects journalists and activists. We discuss the fracturing of society, and the fracturing of left movements. We also discuss the impact of Trump on the far right, and, of course, Luigi Mangione. It's about to be a dark bumpy ride. Buckle up and we'll all do the best we can. Bio// Will Potter (@willpotter) is a thought leader and award-winning investigative journalist and author whose work has focused on social justice movements and attacks on civil rights post-9/11. He has been invited to speak about human rights and political repression before governmental bodies including the U.S. Congress, the Australian Parliament, and the Council of Europe. He was the first investigative journalist to be named a TED Senior Fellow, and his TED talks on anti-protest laws and secret prisons have been viewed nearly 10 million times. His book, Green Is the New Red: An Insider's Account of a Social Movement Under Siege, exposed the targeting of nonviolent protest groups by the FBI and was awarded a Kirkus Star for "remarkable merit." Will was awarded the prestigious Knight-Wallace Fellowship in Law Reporting, and is the inaugural civil rights fellow and distinguished journalist-in-residence at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law. His new book, Little Red Barns: Hiding the Truth, from Farm to Fable, is now available for pre-order from City Lights. --------------------------------- Outro- "Funhouse" by the Stooges Links// + Will's website: https://www.willpotter.com/ + Little Red Barns: Hiding the Truth, from Farm to Fable (https://bit.ly/40HiYRq) Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast +Our rad website: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ + Join our Discord community (https://discord.gg/uvrdubcM) +NEW: Follow us on Substack (https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com) +NEW: Follow us on Bluesky (https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social) Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR Our Networks// +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org/ +We're part of the Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork +Listen to us on WAMF (90.3 FM) in New Orleans (https://wamf.org/) This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.
