Filibusted Without A Cause: Rage, Hope, and Dreams of Class Consciousness
Emma Godel moderates a conversation with students Jenna Greene, Sebastian Canales, Jayme Beasley, Jashaun Hyde, and Raymond Barber. They discuss President Biden's recent speech on ending the filibuster, Democratic and Republican strategy in messaging, where power rests in the halls of governance, racism masquerading as classism, and related topics. Things get spicy in this episode, so we'd advise discretion.
