Local Parallels: Oakland & San Francisco Politics

Welcome to our combat liberalism series! On this episode Silvia and Geraldo introduce what liberalism is and how we can analyze the current conditions by highlighting the liberalisms that we see. We discuss unionism, settler colonialism, anti-intellectualism, the election of Zohran Mamdani, and the passing of Assata Shakur and Jamil Al Amin.
