Newly Elected Maryland Dems Won’t Address Baltimore’s Problems
In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Ari Paul, Contributing Writer to Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting to discuss how Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter threatens to continue the trend of consolidation and watering down of media, how the consolidation of media has historically led to censorship contrary to Musk's claims about free speech on Twitter, and the danger posed by billionaires controlling more and more of the media and how that will squash dissent.
In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by technologist Chris Garaffa, co-host of the CovertAction Bulletin podcast to discuss the use of remote-controlled guns in the West Bank and how Israel uses technology to occupy Palestine, a facial recognition database that can search the internet for pictures of anyone and the privacy issues that are raised by the process to remove yourself from the database, and how the profit motive makes broadband internet service worse for consumers.
Later in the show, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Kim Bown, veteran broadcaster and host of Burn It Down with Kim Brown on YouTube to discuss the case of squeegee workers in Baltimore and why a new plan to ban them from certain intersections won't do anything to solve the issue, how issues of poverty and disinvestment in the city have contributed to the impoverishment of children in Baltimore, and the legal and ethical issues facing State's Attorney Marilyn Moseby and Baltimore City Council President Nick Moseby.
