The world is about to end again so we discuss what got us into this predicament. We talk about the tension with North Korea and its latest hydrogen bomb test. This leads us to talking about the major political news, the Trump administration rescinding DACA. We talk about the racialization of immigration in the United States, the misinformation about immigrants, and the consequences of rescinding DACA. Finally we conclude with a discussion on Harry Potter in honor of its anniversary. We talk about the effect that the series has had on us as children, both the good and the bad. We discuss the nature of evil in Rowling’s world and some of the problematic elements while still recognizing the good.
