This episode of Outlaw is about why the way we talk about political repression matters and how to avoid falling into anti-solidarity traps when we do. Dean Spade, Zohra Ahmed, and Jocelyn Simonson join the show to talk about the tool they created called "Five Questions for Cultivating Solidarity When Responding to Political Repression."
