This Is America #185: Bash Back Returns; Why Elites Like Trump Don’t Go to Jail

Listen Later

Welcome, to This Is America, April 10th, 2023.

On this episode, first we speak with someone involved in the upcoming Bash Back! convergence in Chicago, Illinois. We speak about the history of the group and why it is reforming after over 10 years on hiatus and then switch to our discussion, where we tackle why elites like Trump don’t go to jail and what that says about the “justice system” and abolition.
