About this episode

Sam and Jamie discuss the Prairieland trial and the implications of the Trump administration's actions on dissent and trans rights with guests Alex and Blue.

In the wake of the Prairieland verdict, Sam and Jamie speak with Alex and Blue, two comrades engaged in support work for the defendants. How did this ridiculous show trial, in which evidence included possession of a feminist essay on the movies of Ari Aster (yes, you read that right) result in convictions for the defendants on almost all counts? The invention of "Antifa" as a domestic terrorist group. The various ways the Trump administration put its thumb on the scale for the prosecution and the implications for dissent in the Trump 2.0 era. How this case dovetails with Trump's persecution of trans people. Plus, we read the names of the people who snitched.
