Fool Me Once: The FBI's White Supremacy Problem & Big Tech OpSec / Akin Olla

Political strategist and organizer Akin Olla joins me to discuss the history of the FBI’s assault on left-wing activists over the decades and the absolute necessity for organizers to have operational security in today’s political climate as Big Tech companies “depoliticize” their platforms in the wake of the Capitol siege last month. We address several of his recent articles published at The Guardian, including The FBI can't investigate white extremism until it first investigates itself, Facebook is banning leftwing users like me – and it's going largely unnoticed, and The US Capitol riot risks supercharging a new age of political repression.
