Nonviolent Social Revolution - 6/11/2024

Our word of the week is a big one, Nonviolent Social Revolution. We rebroadcast the Evolutionary Activist podcast of February 26, 2020 by Patricia Pearce called Nonviolence and Possibilities in Times of Polarization – an interview with George Lakey. We then deconstruct the myth of the so-called massacre in Beijing’s Tienanmen Square on June 4th, 1989. Following that we look at President Biden’s authorizing Ukraine to use US weapons to attack Russia, and how Israel is using bots and fake social media accounts to influence Congress. Then we look at updates for local stories that include: the outcome of the Montanans for Palestine “No Preference” campaign in Montana’s Democratic Presidential Primary race, the Eagle Watch Estates Tenants struggle, and the latest effort by the Missoula City Council to address the issue of the unhoused.
