Mass. Pirate News: What did Trump give to get his TikTok deal?

Steve and James discuss The Black Response’s excellent Abolition and Alternatives Conference this weekend and Trump’s TikTok deal and what it could mean. We also discussed ICE and other TLAs attacking an apartment building in Chicago in the middle of the night where they seized and abused the people who lived in it. Finally, we followed up on HorizonMass/BINJ’s reporting on the Boston Police Department’s use of drones at two public events. Join us at the Boston Anarchist Bookfair Nov. 1-2.
