Ian Millhiser on Supreme Court Trump Protection / Alfredo Lopez on Radical Elders
Manage episode 405748405 series 1191824
This week on CounterSpin:
Donald Trump, if he should become president again, could order the Department of Justice to drop any charges against him stemming from his fomenting of an insurrection aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 election. That’s just been enabled by the Supreme Court, which put off until April the legal case wherein Trump declares himself immune to criminal prosecution. We speak with Vox Court-watcher Ian Millhiser, who says he tries to reserve his “this is an exceptionally alarming decision” voice, but this occasion calls for it.
Then, we look at the anti-elder narrative promulgated by corporate news which says, “Keep up or you’re in the way,” and, “if you aren’t working 40 to 60 hours a week, you’re a societal drain.” Alfredo Lopez is a longtime organizer and activist, and a founder of the new group Radical Elders. We talk with him about the space the group seeks to fill.
