Protest and the Press (Hour 2)

Harvey Kaye, Professor Emeritus of Democracy and Justice Studies at UWGB, and our favorite Delano Democrat joins us for the hour. We begin with Harvey's reaction and take on the potential looming Trumpcession. Then, we shift to what We the People can do about the oligarchization (Harvey's word) of our government, press, and world. Well, we can protest. We can protest in our actions and in what we buy- as we are seeing with mass rejections of Tesla. And we can protest with how we choose to spend our time and to whom we give our labor. On that note, yet another Washington Post columnist and editor- Ruth Marcus- leaves, citing conscience and journalistic principles. In an age of decreasing diversity of major news outlets, Harvey sings praise of our own humble project here at Civic Media.

We conclude news coverage two itmes. First, the platform formerly known as Twitter suffered multiple outages today, apparently due to cyberattacks from a group called Dark Storm. Second, our President cheered the arrest of a permanent resident immigrant on... well no charges at all. Mahmoud Khalil, a green-card carrying resident, was arrested by ICE following President Trump's executive order relating to campus protests. This is distressing, and a call to action for us all.

Still, we end the day with something good. Because it matters. And because there is good to be celebrated, cherished, and protected in this crazy world.
