TEASER: 164 - The slander of Skyler Henry by the coward Howard Chan

[To hear/view the full episode, become a patron today!]

Ah, what a lovely month of rest it's been. Did we miss anything?

Not much to report from the VOICES: crew, other than the fact that our cohost Skyler has a new job at city hall with Sacramento's socialist councilmember, Katie Valenzuela.

Fox News covered it. Then City Manager Howard Chan threw a fit. And City Attorney Susana Alcala Wood asked the city council to vote to file a restraining order against Skyler. They obliged, with an 8-1 vote. End of story?

Not even close.

A judge laughed the city out of the courtroom, denying them even a temporary restraining order.

Not to be pushed around, Skyler and a team of fierce labor and civil rights attorneys filed an anti-SLAPP lawsuit against the city for their attempt to infringe on his First Amendment rights. This will be addressed by a judge on July 12, but already things aren't looking good for Chan, Wood, and city council's eight members hellbent on silencing anyone who criticizes them.

In the meantime, Skyler is working at City Hall. And we assume the City Manager is holding Zoom meetings from his closet.

There is so, so much more to this ridiculous case. Allow us to fill you in on the details.
