"As someone who has written about and celebrated Alexei Navalny, I don’t use the word 'gulag' lightly.

Tim Miller talks with Mehdi Hasan about his brave decision to face the spittle-spewing screaming meemies of the fascist right in a Jubilee debate — and about how racist hostility to black and brown immigrants (like Hasan himself) is the energizing center of the fascist right.
