Bruce Klopfleisch breaks down the powerful community strategies that helped scale back the presence of ICE in Minnesota, ranging from general strikes to neighborhood-level mutual aid. You’ll also hear about the Gophers women’s basketball team’s exciting Sweet 16 run and get a heads-up on Bruce’s upcoming guest hosting gig for Matt McNeil.
