Andy Zee, “The Qualitative Leap to Fascism and the Urgency to Drive Trump Pence from Power.” Plus “How to struggle with people to get into the street to drive out Trump and Pence.” Eoin Higgins, staff writer and senior editor at Common Dreams. We talk about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on Native Peoples in the US.

The COVID-19 crisis threatens working people most, especially when the oligarchs throw the switch and try to drive wage-slaves back into dangerous conditions with no protection. All for lousy wages. Second, the US war machine continues its drive to divide the world at a time of pandemic. It targets the WHO and the UN. The fight for peace and ending imperialist sanctions is urgent.

The Republican habit of putting wolves in charge of our nation’s henhouses hits those who love the environment particularly hard. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with journalist Jeremy Miller about how the current EPA and Department of Interior are taking advantage of our current lockdown, working with big business and right-wing think tanks to rollback environmental protections. We discuss efforts to continue drilling on fragile lands despite plummeting oil prices, look at the uranium mining industry and its voracious thirst for water, and examine efforts by ranchers to deforest some of the West‘s hidden gems.

A fine talk by Progressive historian Howard Zinn (d. 2010), delivered in 2008. It deals with key themes in Zinn's writing (and social activism): social justice, war, economic power, the anti-democratic behavior of governments (including ours), propaganda, and the power of the people to organize and compel justice. Part 3 (this week) is (IMHO) the finest part of Zinn's long talk. . . . (Contined under "Credits")
