Johnston wrote the international bestsellers The Making of Donald Trump (2016) and It’s Even Worse Than You Think (2018) and five other books.
At age 19 he became a front page staff writer at the San Jose Mercury and went on for 40 years to uncover scandals for the Detroit Free Press, Los Angeles Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times. He is now editor-in-chief of DCReport.org, a nonprofit news service

“The Continued Colonization of Puerto Rico”
with Jasmine Gomez
Jasmine will discuss the history of political inequality and corporate dominance in Puerto Rico. Drawing from that history, Jasmine will show correlations that explain why the U.S.’s lack of response to Hurricane Maria and the financial crisis is unsurprising. Jasmine will then discuss how to currently support Puerto Rican people.
Jasmine Gomez is a queer, Puerto Rican attorney and organizer.
Music by Boston Music Award-winning Pan-Latin ensemble Sol y Canto
