CounterSpin
This week on CounterSpin: Media are focused on public protests in LA, but seem less interested in what’s making people angry.
If you don’t, and it worries you, you’re far from alone.
There’s an important legal development, but how meaningfully Khalil’s case ultimately translates—just like with ICE sweeps around the country—will have to do with us.
It’s cheaper than jailing people for being homeless, so if it’s those “taxpayer dollars” you care about, this would be plan A.
We hear from Farrah Hassen, policy analyst, writer and adjunct professor in the Department of Political Science at Cal Poly Pomona.
