BONUS EPISODE 🚨 In this raw and urgent drop, we break format to talk about what's really going down in LA — and across the country. From ICE raids and media spin to the fear of speaking out, we're confronting the uncomfortable truths behind today’s protests, immigration policies, and our own responsibilities.

This isn’t just about politics — it’s about power, purpose, and protecting our communities. Layla shares how mutual aid is her quiet act of rebellion, while Brian unpacks why being angry might be exactly what’s needed. We don’t have all the answers, but we’re damn sure not staying silent.

šŸ‘Š Feeling helpless? You’re not. Let’s talk about what we can do — right now.
