Friend,
Episode 218 uploaded September 22: Sam recaps recent developments including the escalating impact on the community of Springfield, Ohio from JD Vance’s Hitlerian lies about immigrants there; the Republican Party that is made up of “Black Nazis” like Mark Robinson, the fascist organizing at the level of the Georgia state election board to find ways to throw the election to Trump in November, plus the heartbreaking stories that are starting to come out as maternal mortality review committees uncover cases of women who did not need to die but were denied life-saving abortion care because of bans in their states post-Dobbs.
She speaks with Dr. Josh Cowen, author of The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers, about the anti-public school movement which is a key plank of Project 2025 and Agenda 47; who is behind this movement and what their true aims and the actual outcomes are.

Dr. Josh Cowen: The vouchers began as an idea right before the civil rights movement, in an era of mandatory racial integration, and have expanded over the last few years despite horrific academic impacts on kids. The Trump campaign platform is basically just a Cliff's Notes version of project 2025. Same idea, eliminate the key anti-discrimination watchdog in the US Department of Education; then universal school vouchers: and then attacks on what they call gender ideology, woke public schools and so on. It's nestled next to these awful attacks on gender, on race. It's nestled next to whole sections of writing and screed about rolling back reproductive freedom, about contraception, some really, truly radical, infringed things driven by a very specific Christian nationalist vision.
