#BlackLivesMatter USA Protests - Interview w/ Whitney Kahn from DSA
There's no panel this week, instead we have a special bonus interview with Whitney Kahn from the Democratic Socialists of America about the #BlackLivesMatter demonstrations against police brutality. We also get to talk about Trump, Bernie, and the need for a democratic socialist party in America.
