56 - Notorious
from Ironweeds Hosted by ironweeds
David tells us about some tenant organizing in Troy, and the gang discusses the possibilities of collectively owned housing projects and the virtues of adverse possession, or squatting. The Sinclair Broadcasting Group, which owns many local news stations in the US, is planning on pushing a piece of conspiratorial disinformation propaganda blaming Dr. Anthony Fauci for creating COVID-19. We discuss the life and legacy of Civil Rights legend John Lewis, the modern voting rights struggle, and the politics of memorialization. For our wildflower this week, new rapid transit bus lines are coming soon to the capital region!
