Welcome to the Terrordome- Trump Returns, Nothing Will Fundamentally Change- The Biden Years, and More

We look at an article from TruthOut that examines the auspicious timing of Trump being inaugurated on MLK Day- and what lessons we can take from the later King, the democratic socialist spiritual leader engaged in class struggle, in the dark days ahead.

 

We look at an article from LeftVoice laying out the internal contradictions of the incoming administration and the potential for organizers to take those weaknesses to their advantage.

 

An article from The Nation lays out how mainstream media is bending the knee to Trump, and we're then joined by our co-host Lawrence to discuss the inauguration, Day One of his presidency, and the legacy of the Biden administration.
