Human advocacy in LA’s Echo Park is growing and the cops are cracking down. We’re joined by journalist Richard Medhurst to talk American authoritarianism. Ever wondered how the US would respond to its own actions if they were committed by a foreign government? Would it impose sanctions on itself? Launch a coup? Plus, we get into Biden’s strike on Syria, his unreasonable Iran policy, and his sadistic sanctions. What message do his actions in Syria send to Iran? And how likely is an Iran Nuclear Deal 2.0 two months into his term? Finally, what is Bellingcat, who funds it, and why did its founder come after Left Bitches last week?

The Left Bitches are Anissa Naouai, Erica Marable, Amanda Getty, and Ryan Wentz. Produced by Gregory Haddock with music by Jonathan Hurley. Visit patreon.com/leftbitches for same-day release, bonus episodes, and more.
