PLR 37: Passing the Torch w/ AMOR

We are back after a hiatus! Crow and Buzzard talk about the homeless encampment that was at the state house, the administration lies about advocates wanting to keep people in camps meanwhile barely doing the bare minimum themselves.

Introducing another co-host! Emi of the Moonrakers joins in as we talk about police use of power, NSC-131 cowardly attempt at intimidation, John Depetro losing a fight to a lawnmower, and a negligent landlord using airBNB Timestamp for the DARE section of the episode is at 33:00 Behind The Walls reveals the disturbing conditions inmates are facing within the Maximum Security Prison from painted over black mold to a scam being played by corrections officers.

PVD World Music promotes traditional music and arts. Chance is an important staple of the Providence music scene, through PVD World Music he keeps traditional music alive by allowing the next generations to have indigenous knowledge that is within traditional music passed down to them. Providence needed more space to be made for this music to continue, so that's exactly what he did. Listen to know more about his experiences and motivations!

From a brawl at the state house to the continued terror police and white supremacists bring to our streets. Very interesting to see Jeann Lugo, a providence police officer, at a rally he is against then end up swinging on his senate rival Jennifer Rourke. We also bring to attention how embarrassing it is for supposed activists to collude with bigots just cause they're mad Tiara Mack did a twerk video. Featured music this week is 'This Machine Kills Gender Norms' - by Bubblegum Punk our very own co-host! Will this fairytale legislate your life? https://bubblegumpunk.bandcamp.com/releases

How was your experience at RI Pride this year? While Pride was filled with weapons manufacturers and Dorito trucks people decided to boycott and protest the rainbow capitalist event. Local politicians who wish to disarm the marginalized with legislation can be seen alongside Amazon and Raytheon, what's up with that? We introduce our new co-host Hols of Bubblegum Punk!

It's June again! Pride parade is coming up, but have RI organizers learned from their mistakes? Weed is legalized, giving police one less bogus reason to mess with civilians over it, bringing us one step closer to a better society. We also go over an incident where police arrested a 12 year old child and some talk about busking! Local music for this weekend is provided by Dirt Devil who will be releasing a new music video soon, like the song listen to their other ones! https://dirtdevil.bandcamp.com/album/dirt-devil-lp

With immense tragedies happening on an unfortunate regular basis, guns are a very focal topic where many have different ideas of what should be done about them. When talking about the idea of more laws against guns, we need to remember history and why many, especially marginalized groups, would still want to arms themselves. Joining us is a member of the Rhode Island John Brown Gun Club, a leftist working class community defense organization who provides mutual aid from firearm safety education to hot meals for the hungry. Help support the work they do! https://msha.ke/jbmutualaid/

In this episode, we say farewell to Alex, and with that, we totally pass the torch from the original keepers of PLR to a new generation. We are joined by Isaiah, a potential new co-host, to talk about RIPTA wanting to avoid beaches, abusive east providence cops, Elongated Muskrat, and the recent testimony given for medicare for all.  If you like what you hear consider supporting the show and becoming a patron ---> www.patreon.com/plrpodcast  Our guests in this episode are two wonderful people from AMOR.

Before he was on t shirts he was on a motorcycle, at least for a bit, traveling the countryside and becoming radicalized! Listen to Evan's brief, final episode about this origin story of a controversial person in history, and how frightfully little has changed since 1952.

In this week's full episode, we regrettably have no interview. However, we still talk about the womxn project action on Tuesday, the futility of 'get out the vote,' the sale of the sunflower garden, teachers calling the cops on children, we skim the gubernatorial debate, and more!  The musical guest this week is Bochek with a new song "Cheer up Cherub" ---> https://officialbochek.bandcamp.com/album/hear-now-deaf-later-2
