Friend,
Episode 104 Uploaded March 27 We share the presentation from a recent webinar held with historian and
writer Paul Street, member of the Refuse Fascism Editorial Board. Paul’s
most recent book is This Happened Here: Amerikaners, Neo-liberals, and
the Trumping of America. Follow his work at paulstreet.org and @Streetwriter17. Read his recent article On Putin, the Ukraine War, the United States and Fascism on Counterpunch.
This week Sam Goldman speaks about Ginny Thomas and Trump's *continuing* efforts to subvert the last election as well as the Supreme Court confirmation hearings and the fast-developing abortion emergency.

Paul Street: Beware the fog of war. Every side in a war creates narratives. They construct storylines that fit their agenda. US policy isn't about helping Ukraine. It's about US Imperial strategic aims. Right now what's shaping up appears to be a campaign to bleed Russia in a prolonged war. It will kill thousands, if not tens of thousands more Ukrainians.
Sam Goldman: This podcast was born out of very acute struggle with a singular unifying demand to drive out a sitting regime consolidating fascism. The situation has not been resolved, but has changed. We think that our exposure of the fascist threat we face, our analysis of what that threat is based in, where it came from, and the trajectory it is on, and the system it is, can provide vital elements to the kind of resistance and rising up that is needed now and in the coming period.
We will continue to point people to ways to act, including and especially at this moment, joining with RiseUp4AbortionRights.org, but we want to hear your thoughts. How are you refusing fascism? What does it mean to you? And how does this show support the work that needs to be done? Let us know.
