Current Events #34: ZAPATISTAS VS THE STATE, MORE BORDER VIOLENCE, 4 YEARS AFTER MARIA

Machete y Mate

Welcome back for a Current Events at 2/3 strength physically, but 100% spiritually. We start off by discussing the State violence against the Zapatistas in Chiapas and their strongly worded diplomatic response. If one thing is constant in the US it's the maintenance of a militarized Southern border and we talk about agents of violence playing out their slave patrol cowboy fantasies against Haitian asylum seekers. We finish off by reflecting on Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricanness 4 years on from Hurricane Maria. If you support what we do and want access to our After Dark episodes, the Book Club, and the Discord community consider showing us your solidarity on our Patreon @ patreon.com/macheteymate.
