The city council of Seattle just voted through an municipal income tax for its wealthiest residents, and the vote was unanimous. Host Brian Edwards-Tiekert talks to socialist city councilmember Kshama Sawant about how that happened, then takes a look at the push to do something similar in San Francisco. Plus: Cat Brooks talks to filmmaker Jon Else about the history of the civil rights movement, and the struggle to tell its story.
