    Here's Episode 141 of Michigan's Premier Progressive Podcast!

    00:00-19:06: Epstein/Corporate Authoritarians/Nessel Goes After MEDC

    Pat Johnston opens by illustrating how Dear Leader Trump's decision to not release the Epstein Files shows how the elite, untouchable, oligarch class are always out to protect themselves. We saw that happen in real time when Dear Leader signed the MAGA Murder Budget into law. It's a major giveaway to the corporate class, such as providing tax write-offs for buying private planes. Very working class, indeed. Pat applauds Michigan AG Dana Nessel for going after corruption inside the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.

    19:07-44:00: Ivan Diaz, Democratic Socialist Candidate For MI State Senate Seat 29

    Democratic Socialist Ivan Diaz, who's running for the Michigan Senate Seat in the 29th District, joins the show to talk about his campaign, and why he believes Now is the right time to represent a transformative working class agenda for his district. Pat and Mr. Diaz discuss his agenda, how to reverse MAGA Republicanism, how to reverse neoliberal policies, and how Democrats can best reach the working class. They also talk about where Democrats fell short in Michigan, and how he'll convince voters that Democratic Socialism serves all people.

    44:01-50:00: Last Call-Populism Wins

    The "Last Call" argues how Americans are in a populist move, but while MAGA Republicans offer fake-populism, Democratic Party leaders and consultants refuse to back populist economic policies.

    50:01-52:54: Ending/Tigers

  • 280: Monday Musing: Rise of ICE Arrests In Michigan Is Rise of 21st Century Fascism

    #podcast #politics #progressives #Democrats #Democracy #Immigration #WhiteChristianNationalist #Immigration #Trump #MAGA #StevenMiller #Michigan #WorkingClass #Fascism #LeftOfLansing

    Here's the Left of Lansing "Monday Musing" for July 7, 2025.

    A new MLIVE story over the weekend detailed how ICE arrests of Michigan immigrants has increased by 154% in the last few months.

    Make no mistake: This was never about deporting criminals.

    It was always about kidnapping and humiliating immigrants due to the White Christian Nationalists inside The Trump Regime.

    It's not only a human rights crime, but it's also hurting the state's economy.

    It's 21st Century Fascism.

  • 279: Friday Short: MAGA Won't Take Away My Patriotism Or Country

    Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for July 4, 2025.

    A new Gallup Poll on this Independence Day holiday reveals that American Pride is at an all-time low. That's not surprising with everything that's happened in the first half of this year, and with the passage of the MAGA Murder Budget which steals from the working class safety net and further enriches Old Money.

    Yet, despite feeling dispirited, millions of Americans oppose this fascist takeover, and are demanding for real, economically progressive change. And a majority of Americans refuse to give-up, and to allow MAGA Republicans to own the American flag and define what real patriotism is.
