On this edition of Prison Pipeline: Resisting the Empire.

Cities across the United States are under siege by an out-of-control autocratic federal government and its gun-toting goons. So far in the month of January, a federal agent named Jonathan Ross murdered Renee Nicole Good in the city of Minneapolis, and in the city of Portland unnamed federal agents shot and wounded two innocent people whose only offense seems to be that they came here originally from Venezuela.

Public officials and community leaders around the country are speaking out strongly against the Trump regime, urging resistance. On this edition of Prison Pipeline we hear some of those voices including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minneapolis City Council Member Jason Chavez, and City of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner.
