Many weeks ago I gave an interview on the radio program Equal Time for Free Thought. We discussed the history of the police, militarization, social and economic inequality, and (briefly) the role of reason in politics.

It’s about a very early Green Scare case in which a Long Island radical was brought up on terrorism charges — and ultimately acquitted! Kevin worked on the defense committee, and talks about what they did, why, and how.
Worth a listen!
