This week, we're joined by journalist Adan Plascencia, who covered the Honduras caravan for Liberation News, about the U.S. firing of tear gas on asylum seekers at border. We talk about the roots of the violence in Honduras, U.S. taking a page from Israel in border militarization, and the role of grassroots organizations such as the Party for Socialism and Liberation in mobilizing for refugees.
Then-Dallas police officer Amber Guyger was just indicted for murder after shooting Botham Jean in his own home. What does this mean for local organizers, who have worked hard to bring justice for Botham Jean? We talk with John Fullinwider, the co-founder of Mothers Against Police Brutality and a veteran organizer in Dallas, about the history of police brutality and grassroots resistance in Dallas.
