Trigger warning, this episode contains violent content.
Fredo and Minerva discuss the circumstances surrounding Adam Toledo's murder. Minerva tells us the story of the murder of Santos Rodriguez, a 12-year-old boy murdered by a police officer in 1973. Please listen at your discretion. Our hearts go out to the families of Adam Toledo and Santos Rodriguez and to the families of the countless black and brown people who have died at the hands of police violence. We would also like to acknowledge the pain that black and brown people relive when we discuss police violence. Sending love, peace, and healing energy to all.
