In ep52, Ahki and Sunny revisit the issue of Black gun ownership in the wake of recent marches of Black self-defense groups throughout the south--an important act of resistance and organization at a time where Black liberals offer no solutions for how we protect our communities.

In episode 47, Ahki & Sunny react to the BLM Brunch video which was filmed on the year anniversary of George Floyd's murder. Absurdly, three BLM leaders made this video outside of a luxury home while the Black grassroots decry the lack of transparency for the hundreds of millions of funding dollars they have received. In this video, the duo discuss the lack of accountability for BLM's national leadership, movement branding, and the failures of the past decade of Black resistance.
