Maria and Julio are joined by Akela Lacy, who is a politics reporter at The Intercept and returning ITT guest Mike German, who is a fellow with the Brennan Center for Justice’s Liberty and National Security Program and author of the book, "Disrupt, Discredit, and Divide: How the New FBI Damages Democracy."

In unpacking the attack at the Capitol, they discuss the way anti-protest and counter-terrorism laws do not address violence from far-right extremist groups, and instead are used to criminalize Black and brown communities.
