We speak with Henry Giroux, a world-renowned educator, author and public intellectual whose latest book is The Public in Peril: Trump and the Menace of American Authoritarianism. He joins us to discuss his latest article at Truthout “Disposability in the Age of Disasters: From Dreamers and Puerto Rico to Violence in Las Vegas.” We assess how the Republican Party has been captured by the far right and will be a continuing problem for US democracy and society going forward unless a citizen’s movement can be built to counter a right-wing kleptocratic takeover of the US, as growing plutocratic power and the drift towards authoritarianism threatens our economic viability and democratic future.
Fundraising Deadline: Missed
Unfortunately, Truthout fell short of our fundraising goal. We still need $9,000 to stay out of the red.
Still, there’s a little time left to make up this difference. Help safeguard our nonprofit journalism: Please make a tax-deductible gift today.
