Podcast: Posting Through ItPublished On: Mon Sep 29 2025
Description: Christopher Mathias, a longtime friend of the show and a journalist who has covered far-right movements in the United States, joins to talk about the origins of the right-wing panic surrounding antifascist activism in the United States. We also talked about the Trump's executive orders targeting "antifa," a questionable study claiming that left-wing terrorism is rising in the US, and why today's antifascist panic feels more alarming than its prior iterations.Patreon: https://patreon.com/PostingThroughItLinks for Chris:Preorder his book: "To Catch a Fascist: The Fight to Expose the Radical Right"Read his column in MSNBC: "Trump's new anti-antifa panic is the start of something much more dangerous"Follow him on Bluesky: @letsgomathias.bsky.socialTransition Music: "People Like You" by Trophy Eyes
