Show up at the Council meeting on 2.23, to hear the latest information on the cause of this tragic spill and the incompetence of Chevron. https://www.theguardian.com//richmond-california-chevron-o

Nazi's in our midst! Every police department should be required to routinely photograph and document police tattoos and inspect their social media postings. The Boogaloo Boys shooter in Oakland, Steve Carrillo, was an active duty Travis Air Force Base special police. Brutal police is the price we pay for having the base so close to us because of the dehumanization training given to military personnel so they can kill others. Look at all of the military, ex-military and police whackos at the January 6, Capitol Insurrection if you need more proof. Starve the beast - defund the police, demilitarize the police, no former military hires until the have completed a psychological deprogramming.

Today El Show is going international! Our guests today are in Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. They have produced a new film titled, Romantic Chorus: which explores romance and relationships in an open way that would give voice to a wide range of people. Jeff had the brilliant idea to have the film animated, both for the anonymity of the 21 interviewees and for the chance to collaborate with a gaggle of artists. They reached out into the murky world of social media to find these wo...nderful creators and have managed to assemble a squad of 17 remarkable folks from around the world. Since then, they have added to their mighty force a web designer extraordinaire, and a sound engineer with ears of gold. Beyond the process of creation, which Jeff and Aaron both love dearly, they see the film as both a fun movie-watching experience and an educational tool. Whether you end up seeing Romantic Chorus on your computer for an online screening, or at a local film festival, or (gasp!) on a first date, they feel that you’ll get lots out of it. Everyone will connect to at least one member of the chorus, and maybe, just maybe, you’ll learn something too. And, whilst you have this listening encounter, you can feast your eyes on the diverse drawings, paintings, stop-motionings, and rotoscopings of truly talented artists. We will have both Lucia Gonzalez-Ramirez and Aaron Gwynn live from Merida! All of this and some very cool music. This is El Show de Andres Soto on KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkeley. Si Se Puede!!! All Power to the People!!! The Play list: Anmor, Amor, Amor - Trio Los Panchos That's Amore - Dean Martin Ik Hou Van Jou - Dan Winner
