    Tents with Blakeley, Paige Oamek & Rohan Montgomery (Ep 233)
    May 28 2024
    From Rafah to Oregon, people living in tents are being targeted. In Gaza it's missiles and in Grants Pass it's laws that criminalize the homeless. Francesca is joined by content creator and Michael Rappaport troller Blakeley to talk about Israel's mass murder of displaced families who were sleeping in so-called safe zone and Nikki Haley signing American-made IDF missiles because the bloodlust is real. Then, producer and journalist Paige Oamek and co-writer Rohan Montgomery join to talk about Kentucky allowing residents to shoot the unhoused, and what an upcoming Supreme Court case Grants Pass v. Johnson is telling us about how conservatives want to strip away rights from the homeless. Finally, we play a "game" where we try and guess which brands aren't owned by private equity firms. It's tricky!
