We begin our show with an interview with Pinehurst Tenants Union organizer April Ailes. We discuss the challenges around organizing a tenants union, setbacks, victories, and how public pressure gets the goods.
Speaking of public pressure small communities all over Michigan are standing against the construction of AI Data Centers in their backyard- protecting their environment and their wallets.
Lawrence joins us and we talk about a recent march of bigots in the mostly Arab- American community of Dearborn, the particularly egregious "both sides" coverage by MSM, and the emotional projection implied in white Christian nationalists protesting "Sharia Law."
Everyone has a take about Mamdani meeting Trump and we didn't want to be left out. Congress also wants the left out, signing on to a resolution denouncing socialism.
