We start the show with an update on a court case involving anti-genocide protestors from the University of Michigan.

An article from Michigan Advance lays out the consequences of the Big BS Bill on SNAP recipients here in the state.

We spend the rest of the hour breaking down the issues dozens of Kalamazoo residents brought to the city commission last night. From the eviction of unhoused residents on Edwards St, to the AI moratorium, to the demand for Kalamazoo to take down Flock cameras.*

Some chaos in Comstock politics has lead to the appointment of progressive Bill Korb to the township board.

We spend time discussing the dire conditions aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and do a post-mortem on the Wisconsin gubernatorial primary and talk about some important races today in Florida.

*CORRECTION: The Flock Amendment passed by the Kzoo City Commission DOES apply to existing cameras and infrastructure- there will be public vote when it comes time for the city to RENEW the Flock contract.
