Inventing Terrorism with Leena Al-Arian & Trae Crowder (EP 130)

<p>Take it from Muslim Americans: America’s counter-terrorism has done little more than criminalize innocent people. And now those same bogus tactics are being used to root out far right extremists, like the news that the plot to kidnap Michigan’s governor was an FBI sting operation. Is this the best way? Leena Al-Arian, director of Coalition for Civil Freedoms joins the podcast to explain. Plus, the sweet-taking “liberal redneck” comedian Trae Crowder on America running out of Covid money and abortion rights being trampled in states across the country. Finally, an all con-artists edition of Sext Elect Overthrow with the Tinder Swindler, Anna Delvey and Elizabeth Holmes. It’s way harder than it sounds. As always, join the Patreon for this week’s bonus story: the latest drama between Disney and Desantis over the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida. Nothing a gender non-binary fox can’t solve.</p><br><p>The Bitchuation Room Streams LIVE every Sunday at 5/8pmEST on YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/franifio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/franifio</a> and Twitch: <a href="https://www.twitch.tv/franifio" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitch.tv/franifio</a></p><p>Follow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/bitchuationpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BitchuationPod</a></p><p>Get your TBR merch: <a href="http://www.bitchuationroom.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.bitchuationroom.com</a></p><p>Thanks to Paige Oamek, Maximillien Inhoff, Alexandra Ornes</p><p>Music Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeod</p><p>Link: <a href="https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-cannery" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-cannery</a></p><p>License: <a href="https://filmmusic.io/standard-license" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://filmmusic.io/standard-license</a></p><p>Support The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE </p><br><p>Follow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/bitchuationpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@BitchuationPod</a></p><p>Get your TBR merch: <a href="http://www.bitchuationroom.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.bitchuationroom.com</a></p><p>Thanks to Paige Oamek, Maximillien Inhoff, Alexandra Ornes</p><p>Music Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeod</p><p>Link: <a href="https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-cannery" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-cannery</a></p><p>License: <a href="https://filmmusic.io/standard-license" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://filmmusic.io/standard-license</a></p><p>Support The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
