Summary

What's up hello everyone the police are still are a white supremacist death cult so here we are yet again, to discuss what they've been up to lately, which mostly consists of blowing themselves up, committing murder, and defending your community's "free stuff" box from itself. This week we focus on the ongoing struggle in Minneapolis, which has been consistent since last year and has galvanized recently in the wake of the police and state orchestrated murder of Winston Smith and the seemingly white supremacist driven murder of Deona Marie. We talk with three different organizers who've spent time on the ground in various capacities about the ongoing fight and how we can help their mutual aid efforts.
