Today we’re joined by a modern-day political hero: Justin J. Pearson. An elected state representative from Tennessee, Justin has taken on the state’s MAGA political leadership and Elon Musk’s data centers, and is now wading into the fight against Trump’s national gerrymandering by running for Congress to represent Memphis. Ezra and Leah give an update on the crypto corruption crisis in Congress, and take questions on trustworthy news sources in today’s fractured media environment, depriving the trolls of our attention, and planning for this weekend’s nationwide actions in solidarity with immigrant communities under threat.
