09. KEEP, KILL, NEGOTIATE with The Black Joys
Elections, insurrections and impeachments, oh my! This wasn’t supposed to happen. 2021 was supposed to end 2020. Flipping the senate was supposed to fix it. January 6th was supposed to be purely ceremonial. And this podcast wasn’t supposed to be back until next week. And yet here we are. And yes, it’s a long episode, but our celebration time was cut short, so you will deal. Happy New Year?
