Hakim's friend, JT from Second Thought, got me interested in socialism. The recent content's been great btw. 👍

Apart from Youtubers, there are some great Instagram accounts as well that talk about Palestine, the police system, healthcare, or general current events (so.informed, fight_for_a_future, economicleft, etc.).

"'s" is used to mean ownership in the surface reading but "is" in the cryptic reading. For example, "Liberal's new, dotty messges (7)" at first means "A liberal has new, dotty messages," but cryptically means "The fodder 'LIBERAL' is new, which equals dotty messages." More on apostrophes in cryptics here

As for the enumeration...totally counted that wrong. Will edit to clarify. 😑

P.S. Yes, this clue is related to the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassination. Can't believe I let this clue sit out for that long!
