Episode 114 - Part 2: Two Trees

<p>Hello again! This is the second half of episode #114, though it functions just fine as a standalone episode.</p> <p>Jesse covers a handful of local stories, beginning with the overturning and rewdrawing of Boston City Council&#39;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.</p> <p>Joe dives into the state&#39;s food insecurity crisis, which is hitting people of color and LGBTQ+ residents hardest, and from which children are by no means exempt.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Thanks for listening.
