Howling for Justice - #RelistWolves

While driving through the beautiful Pacific Northwest last month, my family and I saw numerous billboards reading #RelistWolves. Little did I know that there existed a local movement that has the potential to change the course of America’s environmental and social landscape. If you’re ready to dive straight into the wilderness and revisit the girl groups of the early 2000s, you’re in the right place. This week’s episode covers the case Defenders of Wildlife vs US Department of the Interior.  In order to help save the wolves, please sign the petition at ⁠www.relistwolves.org⁠ [http://www.relistwolves.org].

You may have recently heard on the news about the recent Supreme Court case, Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. vs President and Fellows of Harvard College, banning the use of affirmative action in the college admissions process.

Listen to the full podcast for an in-depth dissection of both sides of the argument.

Hint: It’s related to Tetris. This week’s episode discusses the case Allen vs Milligan.
