Mike and Jared discuss how the Trump Administration and its allies have escalated their efforts to censor and criminalize their opponents in wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They also talk about the ways leaders in business and media – even “anti-hate” nonprofits – have been spooked into self-censorship.

Then, Jared shares an interview he did with Kelly Jensen. She’s a former librarian and writer celebrated for her coverage of movements to ban books from libraries. Their conversation expands beyond books to cover the Right’s attacks on public institutions overall and what normal people can do about it. As you’d expect from a former librarian, Kelly put together an incredibly thorough reading list for listeners to check out.
