Sophia, Davin, and V embark on the first episode of a two part
interview with Aly Wane, an immigrants' rights activist, about his history
with the work, his thoughts about our current moment, how we got
there, and where we can go next. The "post-truth" moment is
discussed, and how that informs the specific atrocities that we're all
seeing laid out before us right now, in May
