We arrive on Narkina 5 and see the THX 1138-inspired Imperial prison facility in it's full, sci-fi, terrifying glory. We give our thoughts on this episode, how it connects to the U.S. carceral system, and request that Dedra step on us both.
To begin our episode, we talk about the injustice currently being perpetrated by the U.S. Government against Mahmoud Khalil, a student activist and permanent resident, who's currently seeing his 1st Amendment and human rights violated. More information on this situation and how you can take action is below.
