Brian talks with Eugene Puryear about how the Trump White House is criminalizing left and liberal organizations as part of Project 2025’s effort to impose a new right-wing political system in the United States. Puryear argues that Trump’s economic and social policies are broadly unpopular and that the Trump Administration is using law enforcement to target and silence dissent in an illegal, unconstitutional effort to eliminate basic democratic rights.
Brian Becker is joined by Eugene Puryear, an author and political activist, and co-host of The Freedom Side LIVE, a live video show every Thursday on BreakThrough News.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
