This emergency episode was supposed to be scheduled and ready for Wednesday.
But then the news broke.
The so-called "border czar," Tom Homan, ordered the National Guard to Los Angeles — not to protect communities, but to target peaceful protesters standing against ICE raids and mass detentions.
So this episode became something else: a call to action.
In this special Wednesday drop, Luis breaks down the violent double standard in how protests are treated in America.
From Ferguson to Standing Rock, from MLK to Colin Kaepernick, from George Floyd to January 6th — the message has always been clear:
If you're Black, Brown, Indigenous, or undocumented — your protest is criminal.
But if you're white and conservative? It's patriotic.
We unpack the media spin, the violent history behind so-called "peaceful protest," and why the system never cared how we resist — only that we stay quiet.
And for those who voted for Trump and now want sympathy?
Save it.
You were warned.
