This week, I'm pleased to be joined by the lovely Vicky Osterweil, author of the new book In Defense of Looting: A Riotous History of Uncivil Action. In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about the inextricable nature of class and race, the abolition of whiteness as a necessary step for police and prison abolition, the efficacy of riots, and why joy is what scares cops and politicians the most whenever the looting starts.
