Thanks for listening and sharing Our Body Politic. As we grow and evolve our show, we need lots of input from listeners like you. So I want to ask you a small favor. After you listen today, please head over to Apple Podcast on your phone, tablet, laptop, or anywhere you listen, and leave us a review. Thanks to you, Our Body Politics broke the top 100 podcast on Apple for news commentary this week.

We could not do any of this without you.

So again, thank you. This is our body politic. I'm the creator and host, Farai Chidea. This week we're talking about what it takes to expose structural racism with a historian, an artist, and a member

of the Biden-Harris administration. I want to get us started with our weekly roundtable,

sip in the political tea. Joining me this week is Jenny Monet. She's a journalist and media

critic reporting on Indigenous affairs and founder of the amazing weekly newsletter

indigenously decolonizing your news feed.

Welcome to the roundtable, Jenny.

Oh, those are kind words, FRI.

Great to be back on your show.

And our body politic contributor, Aaron Haynes, editor at large at the 19th.

Hey, Erin.

Hey, Farrai.

We love a good newsletter.

Subscribe.

That's right. So what have we got percolating on the political teapot this week, Aaron? Oh, Farai. What haven't we got? I mean,

since we've got an Indigenous Affairs reporter with us today, I think we should probably start with the

Keystone XL and the company's decision to abandon the pipeline project. And, you know, a lot of our

listeners probably know what this is, the decade-long battle fought by indigenous leaders and environmentalists

in Canada in the U.S. So, Jenny, I want to start with you. Please explain to us the impact of this win

in the community and what kind of precedent sets for other pipeline projects. Well, on one hand,

it's a huge victory, right?
