Hey everyone, this Sunday at 8pm eastern Ruth Ben-Ghiat, expert on authoritarianism and author of STRONGMEN: MUSSOLINI TO THE PRESENT, and I will be doing a subscriber-exclusive livestream. We’ll discuss our current crisis, the growing international authoritarian movement, my new book
1. Ruth and Jared, what are your thoughts on Cop City? Clearly this is an indication of a preparation for a larger struggle between one side that is working to build solidarity and environmental care, while the other side is trying to build a world that jails or kills anyone who interferes with private profit.
2. Jared, I'm digging the new book. Do you have a favorite chapter that you are especially proud of?
Thank you and I'm grateful for the work from both of you.

Will this be available to watch or listen to afterwards if we can't make it? Maybe in the subscriber podcast feed?
