Feds Terrorize LA and Did School Integration Fail? with Tadhg Hickey & Prof. Noliwe Rooks (Ep 285)

State repression is operating on all cylinders whether in Los Angeles or Gaza. Trump salivates at the chance to deploy the military to a blue city by painting anti-ICE protesters as violent rioters, while the Israeli military captures 12 activists aboard the humanitarian flotilla. Francesca breaks it all down with Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey, who’s dedicated his content liberation for Palestine despite the de-platforming. Then, chair of Africana studies at Brown, Noliwe Rooks joins to talk about anti-DEI backlash and her new book “Integrated: How American Schools Failed Black Children.”  Featuring: Tadhg Hickey, comedian https://www.patreon.com/tadhghickey Noliwe Rooks, author and professor https://www.noliwerooks.org/  *** PASADENA JULY 5TH -New World Disorder Comedy with Francesca & Friends.
