For this episode I sit down with Kim Hunt, return guest and political commentator on her accounts @slaythegop.Kim and I discuss the ongoing escalation of violence from ICE in Minneapolis and around the country, the connections between ICE and the IDF, how liberal commentators and Democrats are failing to meet the moment while grifting people's funds, and how to tell if a creator you follow online has values, or is an opportunist.follow Kim:instagram.com/slaythegoptiktok.com/@slaythegopthreads.com/slaythegopFollow the podcast:thepowerlesspod.cominstagram.com/thepowerlesspodtiktok.com/@thepowerlesspod

Rob Rousseau is a political commentator and podcaster, cohost of The Insurgents podcast as well as host of the daily live show, TRRS.Rob and I discuss the recent extrajudicial murder of Renee Good, a legal observer of ICE, mother, and wife who was gunned down in the morning on January 7th. Rob and I discuss how the reflexive justification of violence has become common whenever ICE or other federal agencies are involved. Empathy is replaced with suspicion, and the victim is posthumously transformed into a threat and labelled a domestic terrorist in order to shield institutions from criticism.In conjunction with this, we discuss the recent kidnapping and abduction of Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro as well as his wife, Cilia Flores, amidst a bombing campaign in Caracas, which has resulted in more than 80 people killed, including civilians; how this imperialist violence has been set up for numerous years and multiple US presidential administrations, culminating in the escalation of the Trump administration both domestically and internationally.Follow Rob:twitter.com/robrousseauinstagram.com/robrousseauinsurgentspod.comtwitch.tv/robrousseauFollow and support the podcast:thepowerlesspod.comlinktr.ee/thepowerlesspod
