RSH 23 -- Ahmaud Arbery’s Death & America’s Racial Terrorism (May 8, 2020)

Recorded May 7, 2020. Adam and Peter discuss the cold-blooded racist murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia and what it reveals about the racist settler-colonial reality of America. They also talk about the gun-toting MAGA chuds protesting to re-open the country for business in the middle of a pandemic that's hurting the working-class.
