We then look at two distinct examples of this framework in practice: the sweeping Prairieland prosecutions in Texas, where defendants received extraordinarily severe terrorism-related sentences, and the separate crackdown in Minnesota following anti-ICE mobilizations and political unrest. From there, we analyze Marco Rubio and Stephen Miller\u2019s international counterterrorism summit, the effort to redirect the machinery of the War on Terror toward the radical left, and the State Department\u2019s Cuba document, which portrays socialism, anti-imperialism, Palestine solidarity, and antifascism as parts of a foreign-influenced revolutionary network. Finally, we ask whether the United States has entered a new Red Scare, what may come next, and how left-wing individuals, media outlets, and organizations can protect themselves without abandoning their political work.   Check out our new merch designs and support the show HERE Learn more here: https:\/\/revleftradio.com\/ Check out Unlearning Capitalism for more political educational resources ","author_name":"Red Menace","author_url":"http:\/\/redmenace.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
