Summary

A 'humanitarian pause' comes to Gaza, and it's late, toothless, but something? Comedian Gareth Reynolds joins to talk about the hostage exchange and the shooting of three young Palestinian-Americans in Vermont. Then Stop Cop City organizer Kamau Franklin joins to talk about the wildly racist RICO charges in Georgia against nonviolent demonstrators, and how both Republican and Democratic leaders are in lock step when it comes to police militarism. Finally, New Hampshire is miffed that the DNC tapped South Carolina to vote in presidential primaries first and goes full Karen by scheduling their vote beforehand anyway. We decide which state should really be voting first. Featuring: Kamau Franklin, Community Movement Builders & Stop Cop City https://communitymovementbuilders.org/ Gareth Reynolds, comedian https://twitter.com/reynoldsgareth THE BITCHUATION ROOM IS BACK AT SF SKETCHFEST on Sunday January 28th at 7pm with Miles Gray of The Daily Zeitgeist, Emma Vigeland of The Majority Report and Nato Green.
