Summary
Our president endorsed the extra-judicial killing of a left wing murder suspect- is this practice for authoritarianism?; some say oppression is always tried first on outsiders and the vulnerable.
Author Jean Reith Schroedel brings Thom a look at the ongoing history of voter suppression of Native Americans. And then her fellow author Harley L. Zephier adds his fascinating perspective- is this present moment an opportunity to begin to deeply heal the circle of all life that has been broken?
We also hear from Garland Gilchrist, the Lieutenant governor of Michigan, on the right wing militia members who had plans to kidnap the governor.

| 0:53.9 | and start imprisoning and killing people because of their politics and treating people |
| 1:01.4 | in the legal system differently because of their politics, when that happens, it always |
| 1:07.0 | happens first with people who are considered criminals, where there's a broad consensus |
| 1:12.4 | across society that they're not good people. |
| 1:15.0 | That's who they go after first. |

| 1:25.8 | thousands of people died there from overwork, from typhoid fever, from regular epidemics, |
| 1:31.6 | from malnutrition. |
| 1:33.8 | But the actual march you in to the showers and then spray you as icon gas, that was all |
