What happens when two people “turn” South Asian overnight to discuss the desperate machinations of a criminal vulgarian who is trying to become President to escape accountability? Well, you get an Avengers teammup with myself and superstar Asha Rangappa, who is currently a legal contributor for ABC News, editor of Just Security, and host of the excellent and informative The Freedom Academy Substack.
In this conversation, we discuss how Donald Trump has deliberately weaponized Kamala Harris’s racial identity as a potential wedge issue between people of colo, JD Vance’s shameless sycophancy, and how the DOJ and Democrats must prepare for MAGA’s attempts to steal the upcoming election. We also discuss what Attorney General Merrick Garland must do in the next five months to enforce accountability, and how joy and laughter have become the most powerful antidoates to authoritarianism. The “late, great” Hannibal Lecter also makes a cameo.
Grab a chai or a glass of wine and give us a listen!
