A Democrat’s Guide to Challenging Trump on Iran, ICE, and Dollars (w/ Rep Ansari)

A Democrat’s Guide to Challenging Trump on Iran, ICE, and Dollars (w/ Rep Ansari)

What can international pro-democracy activists teach us about taking on authoritarianism here in the US? Stacey opens the show with reflections from the Salzburg Global Forum Democracy Resilience Conference featuring reformers from Bolivia, to Hungary, to Nepal. Then she’s joined by Representative Yassamin Ansari, a freshman from Arizona and the only Iranian-American in Congress. She tells Stacey about her opposition to Trump’s war with Iran, the horrific conditions she’s seen firsthand when visiting ICE detention centers, and how we demand a practical response to the competing harms coming out of Washington.
