This episode of The Dig is brought to you by our listeners who support us at patreon.com

and by Haymarket Books, which has loads of great left-wing titles, perfect for dig listeners

like you. One that you might like is Blood Red Lines, How Nativeism Fuels the Right

by Brendan O'Connor, now available in paperback. In Blood Red Lines, journalist Brendan O'Connor

investigates the recent history and politics of US Nativeism, from the dark money-funded

think tanks to the militant reactionaries battling antifascists in the streets. As O'Connor

argues, a new ideology is emerging, border fascism, one that any movement for working class liberation

will need to reckon with in the struggles to come. Greg Grandin says of the book, Blood Red Lines

connects the dots, providing a vivid account of the rise of a unique kind of US fascism,

born on the border, but now nationalized. O'Connor simultaneously produces empathy and outrage,

in the exact proportions we need to fight back, indispensable. Find Blood Red Lines at Haymarketbooks.org

where readers in the US and UK receive free shipping on orders over $25 and 20 pounds respectively.

but rather expensive episodes of The Dig Presents. This is a listener-supported operation,

and the place where listener support us is at patreon.com slash The Dig. If you're listening now,
