On this edition of Your Call's Authoritarian Playbook series, The Nation’s Sasha Abramsky joins us to examine how Trump’s policies are rapidly reshaping the country and the globe — from its war on Iran and destabilizing Cuba to placing ICE agents in airports and further suppressing the right to vote.
We'll also discuss the human toll of his policies and this Saturday's No Kings nationwide protests.
Guest:
Sasha Abramsky, western correspondent and Authoritarian Watch columnist for The Nation, and author of eleven books, including American Carnage: How Trump, Musk, and DOGE Butchered the US Government
