    Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for July 14, 2025.

    Over 130 have died from the flooding in central Texas with another 150 still missing.

    Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has repeatedly stated how she wants to end FEMA as we know it. And now, Texans are finding it difficult to get help.

    Even more, we've learned that Kerr County commissioners denied federal funds to upgrade their emergency systems for weather events because it was viewed as "Biden money."

    At a time when we're seeing 500 year storms happening every year, perhaps now is not the best time to gut FEMA funding, or clean energy funding?

    And maybe it's never a good time to let MAGA Republicans get power?

    Here's Episode 141 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!

    00:00-19:06: Epstein/Corporate Authoritarians/Nessel Goes After MEDC

    Pat Johnston opens by illustrating how Dear Leader Trump's decision to not release the Epstein Files shows how the elite, untouchable, oligarch class are always out to protect themselves. We saw that happen in real time when Dear Leader signed the MAGA Murder Budget into law. It's a major giveaway to the corporate class, such as providing tax write-offs for buying private planes. Very working class, indeed. Pat applauds Michigan AG Dana Nessel for going after corruption inside the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

    19:07-44:00: Ivan Diaz, Democratic Socialist Candidate For MI State Senate Seat 29

    Democratic Socialist Ivan Diaz, who's running for the Michigan Senate Seat in the 29th District, joins the show to talk about his campaign, and why he believes Now is the right time to represent a transformative working class agenda for his district. Pat and Mr. Diaz discuss his agenda, how to reverse MAGA Republicanism, how to reverse neoliberal policies, and how Democrats can best reach the working class. They also talk about where Democrats fell short in Michigan, and how he'll convince voters that Democratic Socialism serves all people.

    44:01-50:00: Last Call-Populism Wins

    The "Last Call" argues how Americans are in a populist move, but while MAGA Republicans offer fake-populism, Democratic Party leaders and consultants refuse to back populist economic policies.

    50:01-52:54: Ending/Tigers

  • 280: Monday Musing: Rise of ICE Arrests In Michigan Is Rise of 21st Century Fascism
    2025/07/07
    #podcast #politics #progressives #Democrats #Democracy #Immigration #WhiteChristianNationalist #Immigration #Trump #MAGA #StevenMiller #Michigan #WorkingClass #Fascism #LeftOfLansing

    Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for July 7, 2025.

    A new MLIVE story over the weekend detailed how ICE arrests of Michigan immigrants has increased by 154% in the last few months.

    Make no mistake: This was never about deporting criminals.

    It was always about kidnapping and humiliating immigrants due to the White Christian Nationalists inside The Trump Regime.

    It's not only a human rights crime, but it's also hurting the state's economy.

    It's 21st Century Fascism.
