The Pinedale neighborhood of Fresno, California was once the location of a facility used to stage Japanese-Americans on their way to the WWII-era internment camps. In this episode, Matt talks about how history can be stored but also warped in ghost stories and how some aspects of our past hold lessons for the present. Also, there’s an old Spanish lady who throws sand in people’s eyes.
Chris and Kaylia talk about the slow burn of progressive resistance that is finally starting to pick up steam, from Corey Booker’s record-breaking Senate speech to an interview with Feleipe Sousa-Lazaballet from Florida’s District 42, who is running to be the first Dreamer ever elected to the State House in that state. We also talk about some good news, the importance of protest, the inherent risks of free speech when you work for a corporation (or a university), and a few ways you can get involved in local lgbtq activism.
On this episode we talk to Amanda from the Women’s March and Daney from 5051 and the San Joaquin Valley Resistance about how we protest the current administration and how we move forward.
We have all heard it – some locations are haunted because they were “built on an Indian burial ground.” What is the truth to such claims?

Oh, and we can’t talk enough about…balls.
