In Outlaw Podcast's first feature on ICHH, Olive talks with people detained and prosecuted for responding to ICE in Minneapolis during Operation Metro Surge. Clem and Ray describe being dragged from their car and taken into ICE detention, and Isavela Lopez and Lucy talk about catching charges and navigating ongoing cases. These conversations offer concrete insight into how federal agencies are responding to anti-ICE activity in the Twin Cities, and the impact that has on people's lives.

In this episode, Rivers and Carter are hanging out at Disgraceland Studios with comedian and professional wrestling commentator Erik Barnes! Things kick off with a discussion about some peculiar personalities Rivers recently discovered on Instagram and Carter's awkward experiences dining at restaurants with "Daddy" in their name. Then, they chug an energy drink called "Gorilla Mind" made by the steroid enthusiast who brought down the "Liver King". Rivers shares the story of Edgar Laplante, the conman who spent the Jazz Age posing as "Chief White Elk," a decorated Indigenous war hero who was actually just a two-bit white criminal from Rhode Island. Zac Brown Band's "Toes" is our JAM OF THE WEEK! Tune in now, folks. Follow Erik on social media @ErikWBarnes Follow the show on social media @TheGoodsPod.

We discuss the breathless article in Jeff Bezo’s Washington Post about how Claude’s integration into the Palantir Maven Smart System has been used for rapid target generation and prioritization for missile strikes in Iran. Then we go deeper into the fraying relationship between the Gulf states and the tech industry and the highly concentrated forms of financial investment and physical infrastructure in the UAE and Saudi Arabia that are load-bearing pillars of the global economy. Pillars that are now, very surprisingly for folks living in the Dubai Geopolitics Slow Zone, suddenly at risk from the consequences of geopolitics. ••• TMK live show in San Francisco, 7pm on Thursday, March 19th, with our friends at Bay Area Current and DSA SF.
