Exploring Political Dissent, Somber Reflections, and Symbolism for Endurance

Just Aaron and Chris this week discussing some of the news that's been circulating, some major stuff and some stuff you might not have heard about.

Aaron opens the episode gushing about Carl Sagan, one of many figures and influences that led him away from liberalism and toward an internationalist perspective of the world. We then read a letter from NY mag about liberals getting their feelings hurt when called names for raising money for the genocidal Democratic party. Israel bombed some workers for the crime of feeding hungry Palestinians. We go on to discuss ExxonMobil stifling shareholders expressing concern over the environment, and Arizona using an archaic law to ban abortion.
