Summary

Co-hosts Jared Yates Sexton and Nick Hauselman cover the chilling detention of Khalil Mahmoud, a Columbia grad student who simply participated in campus protests and is now facing the full weight of the corrupt Department of Justice under the command of Donald Trump. There is some encouraging pushback in protests at Tesla dealerships and unruly GOP Town Halls, and they encourage progressives to fight back now before the authoritarianism hardens. Support the show and gain access to the Weekender episodes on Friday by going to our Patreon and becoming a patron.
