From Bajor to the Bronx we're joined by State Senator Gustavo Rivera, a tried and true Trekkie. Serving in the New York Senate since 2010, Gustavo has beaten the odds, facing down real world Kai Winns, negotiating soil reclamator disputes and championing New York's Medicare for All bill.

We talk about communities, real and fictional alike, pulling through the wreckage of colonialsm. Especially Puerto Rico and Bajor.
