Episode notes

I hope that it gets people to think a little more about what's going on, to think past the initial indignance and anger. We're all one humanity.

This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Efim Shapiro, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Noel King.
