Why, America? with Leeja Miller

Democrats this week piled on Michigan senate candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed more urgently than they responded to any of the other horrors happening in government. Why? Because he dared to stump with leftist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. Today we're discussing what the Democratic establishment's backlash against Hasan Piker tells us about Israel, AIPAC, and the state of democracy in the United States.

Last week in Villarreal v. Alaniz, the Supreme Court declined to uphold a journalist's free speech rights after she was arrested for asking questions of local officials. Yesterday, Trump threatened to put a journalist in jail who had published information about a US airman in Iran.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention issued its third red flag alert for anti-trans genocide in the US last month. With each passing week, new ever-more draconian legislation is introduced in states across the country as the federal government attempts to scapegoat the trans community for all the ills of society. And we can't look away from the injustice. Huge shout out to Aleksandra Vaca over at Transitics for their great reporting.
