Summary

I’m on the road, the connection isn’t great, but I couldn’t stay quiet after what happened in Minneapolis, because an innocent American was killed and our government’s response should scare the hell out of all of us. This episode is about why I believe fascism is no longer a warning but a reality, why ICE must be abolished, and why the only way out of this moment is resistance and real, face-to-face conversations across our divides.
