Interview w/ Diop Harris, Cuba, and More

We spend most of today's show putting Diop Harris in the hot seat. He's running to replace Bill Huizenga here in CD4. We talk to him about the issues and his political strategy.

U of M postdoc researchers are organizing a union and we talk about Hasan Piker and CODEPINK being subpoenaed over their involvement in the aid flotilla to Cuba.

We then look at the mass shooting at a mosque in San Diego and how the type of Islamophobia pushed in right-wing media spaces fuels these kinds of tragedies.
