Her bias with DSA and Jacobin speaks volumes

Seems she doesn't have Glen Greenwald on anymore, then again Greenwald has found greener pastures with fox along with Tulsi Gabbard

Amy goodman left me wondering whose side she is on. Defund no. Training and tighter oversight I believe is the answer

"Defund" is that latest spin machine word to grace the airwaves. It means nothing except what the listener wants to hear.

It is very good.

It discusses the history of the FBI and its clear focus on suppressing progressive ideas and social movements - additionally its heavy focus on policing the left and an anemic attempt on anything on the right.

The "Defund" is taken out of context. This is all about reigning in the FBI unrestricted practices. The quest is an excellent advocate for his position.

This is a really good segment. And I don't always watch everything from Amy Goodman.
