This week we learn about an effort in Mississippi to undo Black political power, and we’ll hear some of my commentary on the U.S. role in the Ukraine conflict, and support for Mumia Abu Jamal among South African metal workers. But first we have analysis of the role that the extraction of the mineral cobalt has on the people of the Congo, even as that resource is said to be a green energy solution.
