Law Enforcement in this country kills approximately 1,200 people every single year and yet the names of many are never said or known except to their families and friends. What’s more, law enforcement agencies and other state actors harm our community in a myriad of ways that also go unnoticed like profiling, sexually assaulting and wrongfully incarcerating our people. If we don’t know its happening – then we can’t fight back. We cant adequately organize a response. So, every week on Law & Disorder we do a round up of news related to state violence. We hope this segment will serve to expose, agitate and build. This is the State Terror Round Up for the week of June 3rd, 2024. —- This episode featured music by Kofy Brown.

Today is the 230th day of Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. Here on KPFA, we’ve been covering that violence itself as well as the US’s apparent unending blank check for Israel’s war machine that comes across in weapons transfers, cash, and political support. But even within the Biden Administration, distress in our country’s support for the genocide is growing. For the first time, last week, a Jewish person appointed by US President Joe Biden resigned from the administration in protest of the President’s support for Israel’s aggression in Gaza. Lily Greenberg Call is that former Biden appointee, and she joins us this morning to discuss her resignation as well as the reckoning she’s had to do as a Jewish person, with the violence of zionism. —- Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post Jewish Biden Appointee Lily Greenberg Call Resigns in Protest of US Support of Israel appeared first on KPFA.
