The Police State is Here with Jenn Budd & Brandie Posey (Ep 291)

What does a former Customs and Border Patrol agent think about ICE’s new tactics? That they’ve been around for a long time. Jenn Budd joins Francesca to talk ICE’s recruitment problems, the pervasive violence in border enforcement, and why the police state is here. And comedian Brandie Posey joins to talk about the no good very bad U.S. economy and Texas Republicans trying to gerrymander the GOP’s way into never facing consequences for their rank policies. Who cares if people don’t have healthcare if their vote doesn’t matter?  Featuring: Jenn Budd https://jennbudd.substack.com/ Buy her book, Against the Wall https://heliotropebooks.com/books/against-the-wall-my-journey-from-border-patrol-agent-to-immigration-rights-activist/ Brandie Posey, comedian Lady2Lady Podcast, Burn This Records *** Thanks Factor!
