● David Hearst, the Editor of Middle East Eye who formerly was The Guardian’s chief foreign leader, its former Associate Foreign Editor, European Editor, Moscow Bureau Chief, European Correspondent, and Ireland Correspondent. We discuss his article at Middle East Eye, “By allowing Israel to bomb Iran, Trump is pushing Tehran to go nuclear.”
● Marci Shore, a professor of history at Yale University who teaches the intellectual history of twentieth and twenty-first century Central and Eastern Europe. A refugee from Trump fascism, she is the author of Caviar and Ashes: A Warsaw Generation’s Life and Death in Marxism, 1918-1968, The Taste of Ashes: The Afterlife of Totalitarianism in Eastern Europe, and The Ukrainian Night: An Intimate History of Revolution. Her latest book is Eyeglasses Floating in Space: Central European Encounters That Came About While Searching for Truth. She was just profiled at The Guardian in an article “Why a professor of fascism left the US: ‘The lesson of 1933 is – you get out‘” and we explore the moral dilemma of fleeing Trump’s fascism or standing and fighting with the growing resistance.
