Recorded Sept 24th 2021. Learn more about Nick Kor's city council candidacy campaign here!

Definitely not Libra szn anymore. (Nick and I both have our Scorpio solar returns forthcoming, but as a Nov 22nd cusp I lean more into my strong Sag stellium.)

Plus: what will be the municipal election season outcomes for Minneapolis be?? (We don't know tbh; we kinda didn't talk about that part much lol.)

Nick and Tri talk about attending the same local Twin Cities alma mater 7 years apart from each other, learning Chinese through swiping on dating apps in the Sinosphere, rallying our communities to have a stake in political involvement, and the messy dilemma of defining ideological terms in our fear-mongering political eco(n)systems.

We talk the police apparatus in both the u.$ and Israeli-occupied Palestine, Robin's formative years in Chicago and at her undergrad that became the backbone of her pro-working class political commitments, and Tri and Adnan riff on the value of members of the labor aristocracy/petit bourgeois/professional and creative classes being principled in their commitment to class traitor-ship as necessary to formations of international working class struggle.

Adnan, here. Here are the citations, for what I was talking about when it comes to the Palestinian situation:

Material support, direct relief aid: Cam's Legal Defense Fund Media Toolkit + Cam's GoFundMe

"Cam Trần is a Vietnamese mother of two young children, who first immigrated to the U.S. in 2009. She was deported in 2019 for an act of self-defense against her abuser. Like over 90% of incarcerated women, Cam is a survivor of domestic and sexual violence and, like many Southeast Asian immigrants and refugees, her deportation was an act of anti-Asian violence.

Cam has an opportunity to return home, but we need to fundraise $10,000 by December 2021 ($1,250 each month) to pay for her legal representation for post-conviction relief. We hope your community support will bring her one step closer to reuniting with her children. 

Please donate, share this fundraiser and toolkit, and sign up for updates/more ways to be involved!"

Part 1 of a planned 2-part conversation.

Tri and Adnan speak to the murder of 20 year old son, father, and young adult Daunte Wright by firmly reinforcing the platform for why police reform is ruling class re-commodification of safety that sells itself as a universal good, yet persists in protecting only the quality of life of class-ascendant, exceedingly White-bodied peoples. In Minnesota, police reforms only spell the repackaged and prolonged dispossession of life and community-oriented protection and care of low-income, neocolonized peoples like Wright, Dolal Idd, Isak Aden, Fong Lee, Jamar Clark, Philando Castile, George Floyd, to only name a few of many people killed by the foot soldiers of MN state-sanctioned police violence.
