We are joined by Candice Bernd of Truthout to discuss the Permian Highway Pipeline, resistance in the state of Texas, and Texas HB3557, which largely criminalizes protests at the site of oil pipelines.Austin has officially decriminalized several activities related to homelessness, but faced heavy resistance from reactionary groups connected to real estate and corporate interests. What did the city win, and what are the next steps in the struggle? Later, we hear from Maddie Detelich and Marina Roberts of Austin DSA on the #HomesNotHandcuffs campaign.
