Summary

Just months into Trump’s second term, we’re already witnessing the rapid erosion of fundamental American rights. Legal residents are being detained and deported simply for expressing support for Palestinians. Political expression in the U.S. hasn’t felt this dangerous since the Red Scare—and all signs point to things getting even worse. To help make sense of this chilling moment, Adam speaks with Corey Robin, political theorist and professor of political science at Brooklyn College.
