Here's the Left of Lansing "Friday Short" for August 22, 2025.

Today, The Trump Regime's FBI raided the home of The Regime's former national security advisor John Bolton over classified documents, or something like that. 

While no fan of Mr. Bolton's, Pat Johnston explains how this move is another authoritarian step by the Trump Regime, and it shows why we need strong political leaders to combat this kind of corporate authoritarianism combined with White Christian Nationalism from gaining more of a grip on the country. 

Sadly, in Michigan, Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is running a pro-corporatist campaign to become Michigan's next governor, and is signaling how much he'd like to work with Trump.

When you've got a choice to fight-back against authoritarianism, or to join it, Mike Duggan's choosing to join it.
