In this edition of The Humanist Report, we take a moment to throw a bucket of cold water on politicians and pundits who are going bonkers over Robert Mueller’s indictments. This is fueling even more McCarthyism, and is even driving suspicion and paranoia about progressive politicians like Bernie Sanders and Jill Stein. We’ll also talk about the Parkland, Florida tragedy and share stories from students, along with ways they’ve turned tragedy into activism. Also in this episode we’ll discuss both left-wing and right-wing SJWs, Mitt Romney’s senate campaign, Dennis Kucinich’s gubernatorial campaign, net neutrality, the FCC’s investigation into Ajit Pai, and more! Enjoy the show, folks!
