Do You Want Genocide to Win? We're Speaking on Harris/ Walz, Gaza, Policing, and More

Me and Lawrence break down Kamala Harris' condescension to anti-genocide protestors at a recent rally and expand outward into some deeper analysis about the state of play in today's Democratic Party. In particular- the relationship currently and historically between working class militancy and progressive policy, the highs and lows of Tim Walz's record, and what this might all mean for the genocide in Gaza.

 

We then update you on a situation out of Wayne, MI where a young black man was murdered by police during a mental health episode. At a recent public meeting the Wayne City Council refused to make the body cam footage public.

 

Black farmers are getting their due after historic discrimination, and workers in Detroit walked out after their bagel shop was bought up by a local gentrifier and Zionist.

 

We close by looking at the inaugural inclusion of breakdancing at the Olympics, and the possibility that it will be a one-and-done.
