This week’s Resistance in Residence artist is Bay Area Nicaraguan emcee, and the frontman of the hip hop Cumbia group Bang Data,

2024/07/12

A recent Federal Appeals Court ruling allows students to sue the U.S. government for luring them to Farmington University, a fake institution that Immigration and Customs Enforcement incorporated in 2016, apparently to entrap international students who arrived legally in the U.S. on F-1 visas in an illegal “pay-to-stay” scheme. In the process, after collecting around six million dollars of student tuition, federal agents arrested at least 250 of the students who had enrolled at the fake university,

Over the past two months, the city of Vallejo has paid out $672,000 in settlements to victims of excessive force lawsuits filed against Vallejo police Officer Robert DeMarco. According to the Vallejo Sun, the lawsuits stem from two incidents in 2017 and 2018 where Officer DeMarco struck two men with his baton while they were lying on the ground. Journalist Scott Morris joins us to describe these events. Morris covers policing, protest, civil rights, and far-right extremism for the Vallejo Sun.Read

2024/07/11

Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder we do a

The International Solidarity Movement or ISM, which was an active protective presence in Palestine for many years in the earlier 2000s has returned. The perhaps-best known activist from that earlier round of International Solidarity Movement protective work was Rachel Corrie, a name many of our listeners are familiar with, because while putting her body in between an Israeli bulldozer at the home of a Palestinian family she was staying with in Rafah, the bulldozer drove over her, crushing her to

As Israel continues into its now more than 9 month violent onslaught on Gaza, some of the Palestinians who’ve been displaced from their homes are seeking refuge elsewhere, but leaving Gaza is no simple or cheap task, and fundraising is particularly hard when your access to electricity, internet, and ultimately, community, is not reliable. Our guest today previously worked as a journalist in Ramallah in the West Bank, reporting on life under occupation. Since her time there, she has visited Palestine

As the summer continues to heat up, legislators in Sacramento are finally moving forward with protections for workers who work in overheated indoor conditions across the state. The rules have been caught up in limbo following the state prison system’s concern that it would simply be too expensive to renovate their facilities to make it cool enough for safe working conditions. The rules have now moved forward through the State’s Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board for all hot indoor
