Outside Agitators
1w ago00:52:06Tap to summarizeIn 1967, segregationist lawyer Jack Kershaw swore out a warrant against George Ware, an organizer with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. By the end of the week, a congressman was denouncing Ware on the house floor as an outside agitator. But what is an outside agitator? What do we mean when we blame unrest on these untrustworthy outsiders? Where does that idea come from? And is it even true?Sources & Further Reading:https://belonging.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/ARCHIVE/kerner_commission_full_report.pdf https://www.africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/Letter_Birmingham.html https://www.crmvet.org/docs/sv/670400_sncc_nyc-newsletter.pdf https://www.christcathedral.org/phase-to-history/st-anselms-liberation-school-and-the-long-hot-summer-of-1967/ https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/district-courts/FSupp/274/538/1574803/ https://www.phillytrib.com/obituaries/george-w-ware-jr-72-educator/article_0e1a1218-3c2b-51fa-b960-61094a1f6d98.html https://digitalcollections.library.gsu.edu/digital/collection/GSB/id/10262/ https://library.cqpress.com/cqalmanac/document.php?id=cqal67-1311343 https://www.nytimes.com/1967/08/05/archives/us-aides-in-visit-to-negro-school-view-a-drama-at-institution-cited.html https://www.nytimes.com/1967/08/12/archives/nashville-panel-suspends-school-liberation-classroom-also-ousted.html https://www.nytimes.com/1967/08/09/archives/official-changes-testimony-on-antiwhite-school.html https://www.nytimes.com/1967/08/30/archives/sedition-charges-dropped.html https://www.wsmv.com/2025/02/25/former-nashville-assistant-police-chief-dies-while-custody-wifes-death/ https://www.wkrn.com/news/local-news/wife-former-mnpd-assistant-police-chief-found-shot-to-death-rutherford-county/ https://www.usnews.com/news/national-news/articles/2017-07-12/race-troubles-109-us-cities-faced-violence-in-1967 https://www.nybooks.com/online/2020/07/27/a-brief-history-of-dangerous-others/ https://dailynorthwestern.com/2020/11/12/audio/defining-safe-defining-the-outside-agitator/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2w ago00:46:13Tap to summarizeWrapping up the discussion of the MAGA narrative surrounding the SPLC indictment, Molly addresses the question of money. If the administration is implying the SPLC fully funded the 2017 Unite the Right rally, what would that mean? How much does something like that cost?

Transcribe →Nazis React to the President Saying They Aren't Real
3w ago00:44:25Tap to summarizeThe MAGA media is running with the President's theory that the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 wasn't real. That's offensive to anyone with a solid relationship with reality, but it's especially hurtful for the guys who worked very hard to plan that nazi rally.

Transcribe →The Southern Poverty Law Center Did Not Plan Unite the Right
May 1400:49:25Tap to summarizeThe President of the United States went on 60 Minutes last month and claimed that the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017 was fake, a hoax perpetrated by the Southern Poverty Law Center. He's referring to allegations made in the recent indictment against the SPLC that one of their paid informants was a member of the planning chat for the rally. But what does the indictment actually say? And what kind of person snitches for money?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
