At the 2018 Motherfucker Awards, Abby Martin presented the Motherfucker award in the FIRE category to the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. PG&E equipment was responsible for at least 17 of 21 major fires in Northern California in the past year. Many of these fires were due to lack of powerline maintenance.
Robbie and Abby Martin talk about Stan Lee, antifa at Tucker Carlson’s house, Trump threatening fascist violence against protesters, the deadliest wildfires in California’s history, the midterms bringing in a blue trickle of corporate democrats and the need to mobilize people’s movements.
