In the first half hour, we discuss the uses and usefulness of prisoner hunger strikes, from Palestine to California, with Sahar Francis, director of Addameer, Palestinian Human Rights Association. In the second half, Erica Bridgeman talks with Ian Waynsler and Stella Lawson, organizers of the first ever queer astrology conference, coming up next weekend in San Francisco. Plus reflections on the implications of the fact that all the jurors as well as the judge in the Zimmerman case were women.
