Episode: 3 - FUNDING THE POLICE IS NOT DEFUNDING THE POLICE

Throwing good money after bad never works. When you're up your nose in sh*t, the last thing you should do is open your mouth. Telling people that the way to better policing is to give them more money, more responsibility, more power, and that if we just give them "More Training" that will solve our problems is bass-akwards and ass backwards. In this weeks episode's MAIN TOPIC, we break down what the hell federal agents are doing in Portland and other cities and why they must leave. We also take ...

We use the people’s budget LA as our jumping off point and we break it all the way down. Enjoy. AGAIN, thanks so much for...

Episode: 1 - PERFORMATIVE ALLYSHIP

There are many (first) episodes of podcasts but this one is mine. Rather ours. Wilson and Megan are here to discuss the topics you really want to talk about. Since the tragic death of George Floyd, our media space has exploded with  corporations and IG "friends" falling over themselves to show how "down" with the cause of Black Lives Matter they really are. But where is the line between acts of goodwill and anti-racism and performative or fake? We tackle this huge topic and more in this wee...
