In this week's segment we hear about the state of Black politics in Newark and across the country. We also analyze a court case in Alabama, where federal judges have ordered the creation of a new majority Black congressional district. 
But first we hear about the people of Gaza, who suffer war crimes at the hands of Israel and the United States.

Kate Clover is a songwriter and musician from Los Angeles, California. From the local lineage of bands like X, Germs, and The Gun Club, to the glamorous destitution of the downtown streets, Clover is inspired by the city that raised her, exploring the intricacies of self-discovery, self-creation, and self-preservation in the place where dreams are born to die. With the live-wire energy and crackling force of defiant fists raised in the air, Clover’s music is the rallying cry of a natural born killer. Clover cuts an electric figure--a next-gen underground hero for the would-be believers.
