Description

An activist was murdered outside of Atlanta trying to protect the Weelaunee Forest from the development of a police training ground. Why aren't we hearing more about it? Fellow organizer Micah Herskind joins Francesca to explain what Cop City is and the depths of the corruption surrounding its construction. And Akela Lacy, politics reporter for The Intercept, joins to talk about the double-speaking Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Ilhan Omar being kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee. She might've been booted by Republicans, but not before Democrats had previously undermined her. Finally, the beautiful big Chinese spy balloon has been shot down. Was it the right move and how have we been forever changed.Featuring: Akela Lacy, https://twitter.com/akela_lacyMicah Herskind, https://twitter.com/micahinATLThe Bitchuation Room Streams LIVE every TUESDAY at 1/4pmEST on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/franifio and Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/franifioFollow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPodGet your TBR merch: www.bitchuationroom.comSupport The Bitchuation Room by becoming a Patron: www.patreon.com/bitchationroom or via Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVEMusic by DJ Real   Hosted on Acast.
