RSH 91 -- Rhodesian Vibes Intensify (5.27.2021)

Recorded May 26, 2021. It's been on year since the police murder of George Floyd. Adam and Peter discuss how there has been no substantive police reform in Ferguson (where the first BLM uprising started in 2014) and how activists and changing their approach, rising crime in the United States and it's caused by the economic fallout of the pandemic but mainstream media, politicians, and the police want to use crime as a wedge against the demands of BLM, the Palestine ceasefire and how Biden is falsely claiming credit for it, and how the AP fired a young journalist, Emily Wilder, for her pro-Palestine activism and how they caved to a right-wing smear campaign against her.
