San Francisco's decarceral DA Chesa Boudin cut the jail population in
half and crime didn't go up. Boudin also talks to me about how visiting
his parents in jail as a child influenced his politics, why he wants to
be out of a job, debating Angela Davis, his new podcast and the
difference between abolition and decarceration. Then Asad Haider gives
us a reading assignment. City Council primary winner Richie Torres
weaponizes identity politics, rinses and repeats Israel's pink washing
talking points in a video describing himself as an AfroLatino LGBTQ man
who supports Israel because, not despite, his progressive politics.
