Hello!

Today, we are back talking about Minneapolis and ICE with Will Stancil, an attorney from Minneapolis who has been posting about neighborhood rapid response in the Twin Cities. We talked to him about a whole range of topics — what it feels like in Minneapolis, how these neighborhood watches have been organized, the resilience of the city, and, at the end, even a moment of hope that Will has seen in all this.

Very periodically, we will ask you to head over to that subscribe button and please help keep the lights on. We do not paywall any episodes and never have and that’s because we do this almost entirely as a free project that is accessible to anyone who can’t afford it. But if you can, five dollars a month goes a long way so we can keep doing this and bringing you free shows.

Please enjoy!

Hello,

This week, we talk about ICE in Minneapolis, the killing of Renee Good, and the destruction of a whole lot of what we hold sacred in this country. Is there something to do about all this? And how much of the country do we really think is cheering on what amounts to an invasion of people’s neighborhoods?

Hello!

Today, we have Matt Duss on the show. Matt is an executive vice president at the Center for International Policy, co-host of the Un-Diplomatic podcast, and the former foreign policy advisor for Bernie Sanders. We talked about what the hell Trump is doing in Venezuela, what Rubio’s vision for the world might be, the dangers of a fully unrestrained Trump administration, what Democrats could be doing to provide an alternative vision of the world, and also what is going to happen with Greenland. It’s a great episode and very informative and we hope you both check out Matt’s pod and take a listen.

thanks!
