In the wake of the mass
shooting in suburban Virginia earlier this month that left House majority whip
Steve Scalise (R-LA) and three others wounded, conservatives have been
furiously ranting about ‘LEFT-WING HATE’.
However, according to Joshua Holland of The Nation, studies
have consistently shown that it is fact the Far Right who hold a near-monopolyon political violence. Joshua joins me
on the show today to talk all about what the history and use of violence to
support a political agenda in the United States and which end of the political
spectrum tends to rely on it.
Since we last spoke
with Mark Joseph Stern of Slate last week a lot has happened, from
the Supreme Court allowing part of Trump’s Muslim Ban to take effect to an
Appeals Court lifting the block on Mississippi’s malicious Anti-LGBTQ
“Religious Freedom” Law. Mark returns to
the show today to talk all about these issues and so much more.
It’s been five months
since the inauguration and while the resistance has been beating back against
Trump’s agenda, forces are still finding ways to discriminate. Today 5pm
ET, join Michelangelo as he hosts “Queer In Trump’s America”, where
he’ll speak with Danielle Moodie-Mills,
Xorje Olivares, and Alex Berg as they discuss the
intersections of being queer while fighting on other fronts for women, African
American’s, and immigrants in this struggle to preserve civil rights. Today at
5pm ET here on SiriusXM Progress – Home of the resistance.
