#1766 The Fragility of State Violence: The ICE Occupation, Renee Good, and the Minneapolis Uprising - Best of the Left
#1766 The Fragility of State Violence: The ICE Occupation, Renee Good, and the Minneapolis Uprising - Best of the Left
Today we look at ICE's reign of terror as a paramilitary occupation force and the communities pushing back. We'll hear about Renee Goode, an unarmed woman shot dead by federal agents, and Keith Porter, killed by an off-duty agent on New Year's Eve, in addition to historical parallels from Civil-Rights Era Selma, Alabama and the Boston Massacre. The signs of hope here are that the oppressed won those fights and the oppressors were forced to retreat - there's every reason to believe that the same pattern can repeat today.

*NEW* Best of the Left Presents: SOLVED! Life, Politics & Everything (on YouTube!)
Best of the Left presents SOLVED!, animated progressive commentary on life, politics, and everything from people whose job it is to pay way too much attention to what happens in this absurd timeline. ⭐ SOLVED! ⭐ Because if we don't tell you how to think, someone dumber on the internet will. 🤷🏻 *NEW EPISODES EVERY FRIDAY* SOLVED! is a new show from the producer of the award-winning Best of the Left podcast. Each week, the Best of the Left team, Jay!, Amanda, Deon, and Erin, "get animated" (literally) and have a roundtable discussion based on carefully curated articles related to politics, news, culture, tech, philosophy, sociology, and more. We laugh, we get (very) serious, and we try to make sense of this crazy world with insights as political media analysts with decades of experience. Oh, and we solve some things! We’ve been doing this show in audio form since the dark days of 2021 for BOTL members, and now we’re sharing it with the world.
