Summary
I'm a little early with this week's episode because I'm getting ready to hit the road again. This time I'm following story developing in Gulfport, MS were police shot and killed 15 year-old Jaheim McMillan. More details in today's episode.
We travel from the local level to the national level and cover the ongoing coup happening in our nation. Michael Flynn and Tulsi Gabbard provide us with the best examples of how the theocratic coup happening in the United States is tied to the pan-reactionary movement that seeks to end progress and democracy globally.
We begin today's episode discussing the need for us to process the news on three levels of analysis as provided by international relations scholar Kenneth Waltz. To that end, we discuss the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

| 1:07.0 | is having an effective lens, a framework that we can categorize and structure our minds to be able to understand. |
