Abolish The FBI?

Alex Vitale, author of The End of Policing and professor of sociology at Brooklyn College, and Alex Karakatsanis, civil rights lawyer and co-founder of Equal Justice Under Law, join Briahna to discuss how the left should respond to the new conservative call to abolish the FBI. What could be done from a left perspective, and is it more important to potentially stick Trump with a crime than to take down an organization that has long targeted the left?

In case you missed, DeSantis arrested multiple people with his new police election force for voting cuz they had sex or murder charges. Apparently there are limits to redemption. No one stopped them from registering yet here he goes again. Are videos with people whom truly tried to sort there life & this will impact their jobs etc..Said it from beginning, he’s sneaky dangerous. Tour of duty Guantanamo….. On the plus side, I see continued grumbling about the growth here.

Why dont we talk about the fact that we will call MTG and the like extremists. But we give HRC Barack Obama And Joe Biden's extremism a pass. Because we ignorantly think unfettered greed and the enrichment of politicians and their family members through policy is less dangerous than ideologues pushing their ideals on people. We have all the counters for idealogues. But we seem to have none for Say a Nancy Pelosi voting in the interest of her husband's investments. We pretend like they are not connected when they have the results.

Anything which is more than our necessity is poison. It may be power, wealth, hunger, ego, greed, laziness, love, ambition, hate or anything.

Man so many people write books and articles nowadays! At this point everybody needs to stop writing and just do things. Save the trees for gods sake your alls books aren’t helping we have too many of them already about the same subjects told a million different ways hahaha 😂😂😂! Vitale has the stronger argument here for the most part. Leftists come up with legislation as to how the FBI should be used abolishing it doesn’t make sense. Pie in the sky ideas of Alex sub-stacks guy is not where we are. Right Wingers or Republicans don’t care about your Utopia at this point so let’s chill with the organizing coalition sentiments if you can’t protect the safety of those organizers who’ll definitely come under attack in their organizing.

If anyone is a high school teacher and wants to introduce the actual history of the FBI’s weaponization against political parties and minorities there’s a great book on this by Aaron Leonard and Conor Gallagher called A Threat of the First Magnitude.

Yeah, the FBI will probably start the groups for people to join, to entrap them into a one way trip of snitching or cases v. The United States.

A great discussion! The Left is not seizing the moment, as was expected. Time is of the essence and if nothing is done like writing a bill to curtail the FBI's abuses of power this storm will soon pass without any gain obtained for it. If as as result of the FBI's activities Donald Trump is indicted and put on trial and found guilty thereby being eliminated from 2024, Ron DeSantis will be the front-runner and would still have a strong chance of 'walking right into the White House'. To be frank, the Left does not have any credible 2024 candidates as of now. Pres Biden is not in great health. It is likely that one or both Houses of Congress will be flipped red in the midterms this November thereby making Biden a lame duck for the rest of his term. This will take a toll on him so he will likely take a bow from politics at the end. VP Kamala Harris, the heir-apparent, does not look like a serious democratic presidential candidate, unfortunately. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are too far left for the centrist democrat establishment, and Hillary Clinton has no interest. Michelle Obama vowed never to run for president. Stacy Abrams? Perhaps. Can Kamala Harris run with Stacy Abrams? Maybe.

Watching Brie keep bringing the discussion around the issue of tailing the right wing just adds to my belief she needs to have a conversation with Varn about the merits & history of this tactic. They have mutual ‘friends of the pod’ - it wouldn’t be difficult to set up. It’s really time for these two to get into the weeds on strategy

The right doesn't want to defund the FBI, they want to night-of-long-knives the FBI.

“…. People are buying into a faux-populism on the right because there is a no-populism on the left” points were made 💅🏽
