Summary

Friend of the show Molly Crabapple (@mollycrabapple) joins us to talk about getting arrested with a bunch of her fellow Jews at last week's Amazon/ICE protest, the Punisher logo, and the importance of antifascism. She then gives us an overview of the protests in Puerto Rico that exploded when now-former governor Ricardo Rosselló's ghoulish frat boy chat logs were leaked to the press. Asambleas! Flags! The nationalism of the colonial subject! Ricky Martin!
