Poslechni si epizodu — 37 min

Shrnutí

This week, you will hear about an anti-Nazi picnic in Avalon, PA, some brief analysis about the Nazi mob in Chemnitz, Germany and about some folks pushing back against the Pope’s visit in Ireland]. We interview Michael Loadenthal, a social movement academic and former J20 defendant, about the riotization of protest and new strategies the state is using to criminalize dissent. We also continue to highlight the ways police and fascists are aligned. We give an extensive update about what we know so far about the 2018 Prison Strike and we interview two supporters who are championing the strike inside the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington. Finally, we wrap up the show with political prisoner birthdays and next week’s news. But, right before that-the Rebel Girl and the Riot Dog sing a duet, so seriously-listen until the end!!! Send us news, events, or ideas on how our show can better serve anarchist activity in your town by emailing us at podcast@crimethinc.com.
