Ep. 13: Graphic Packaging Offers Crumbs, Patrick Lyoya and American Imperialism, Michigan GOP Picks Far-Right Statewide Candidates, and More

We talk about a recent happening at the Kalamazoo City Commission where a community benefits agreement was shot down with Graphic Packaging Inc. We look at how most of what GPI had on offer were very cosmetic, public-relations focused assets for the community like food trucks and job fairs that left the key problem they are creating unaddressed (pollution in the Northside neighborhood).

 

We talk about the police murder of Patrick Lyoya, our reactions to the video and events, and dig a little deeper into just why families like Patrick Lyoya's had to flee the Democratic Republic of Congo- a depressingly familiar series of events involving CIA backed assassinations and dictators.

 

Later in the program we look at how the Michigan GOP has picked its far-right, Trump endorsed candidates for secretary of state and attorney general- with goals like prosecuting Gretchen Whitmer and Jocelyn Benson for (completely made-up) election malfeasance and making critical race theory unconstitutional.
