What does martial law really mean—and why does it keep popping up in moments of protest? In this episode, we break down the truth behind military crackdowns in America, from the Pullman Strike to Lafayette Square, and why the federal response to recent protests in L.A. should have everybody on alert. Spoiler: This isn’t new. And it’s not about “keeping you safe.”

If you’re riding with me on this journey to break down authoritarian creep, stop right now and leave a review for the show. It’s the best way to help this work grow and to keep these conversations front and center where they belong.

I’m bringing receipts, I’m bringing history, and I’m bringing solutions. Let’s go.
