Hello again! This is the second half of episode #114, though it functions just fine as a standalone episode.
Jesse covers a handful of local stories, beginning with the overturning and rewdrawing of Boston City Council's district maps; continuing into the unethical conduct of Rachel Rollins (former DA / US Attorney for Massachusetts); onto the drunken antics of a Boston Police Lieutenant; and concluding with the train that fought back.
Joe dives into the state's food insecurity crisis, which is hitting people of color and LGBTQ+ residents hardest, and from which children are by no means exempt.
We then turn it over to Scott, who describes the uncomfortable (and radicalizing) experience of fighting for labor rights as a member of a burgeoning union.
