No Justice, No Peace: Mistrials, MOVE Bombing Anniversary, and More

We start our show by reading Mahmoud Kahlil's letter to his newborn son written from an ICE detention center in Louisiana. Columbia University, where Mahmoud had been organizing, is seeing a resurgence in anti-genocide student resistance.

 

We talk about the arrest of Newark mayor Ras Baraka outside an ICE detention center and how popular online left commentator Hasan Piker was questioned recently by Customs and Border Patrol.

 

We look at the dynamics of the new pope, and spend the rest of our show discussing police brutality and violence- from the Patrick Lyoya mistrial in Grand Rapids, the situation with Rodney Hinton, to the 40th anniversary of the MOVE bombing in Philadelphia.
