Short episode this week. Apologies for being late, but being on the road don't lend well to uploading podcasts. This edition has some new stuff we tried out for a recurring news segment. Let us know what you think of it. This week we're talking to John the Lefty [https://twitter.com/Johnnthelefty], one of the most clued-in independent journalists in Portland about some recent stories. First we'll talk a new fascist group active in the area, then dive into the verdicts in the Joey Gibson/Patriot Prayer/Cider Riot trials. Then we're talking about the recent arrest made for the murder of antifascist activist Sean Kealiher. We recorded before the arraignment but the alleged killer, Christopher Knipe, will go to trial on the 26th of September. Knipe pleaded not guilty this week to 2nd Degree Homicide charges.
