Genocide Halftime with Gareth Reynolds & Kamau Franklin (Ep 209)

A 'humanitarian pause' comes to Gaza, and it's late, toothless, but something? Comedian Gareth Reynolds joins to talk about the hostage exchange and the shooting of three young Palestinian-Americans in Vermont. Then Stop Cop City organizer Kamau Franklin joins to talk about the wildly racist RICO charges in Georgia against nonviolent demonstrators, and how both Republican and Democratic leaders are in lock step when it comes to police militarism. Finally, New Hampshire is miffed that the DNC tapped South Carolina to vote in presidential primaries first and goes full Karen by scheduling their vote beforehand anyway. We decide which state should really be voting first.
