1 Listener
The rage is real because the video of Ahmaud Arbery’s murder is traumatizing. The rage is real because that video is just one of many we all can see on our mind’s screen at any time because they’re burned into our memory banks from Tamir Rice to Sandra Bland to Philando Castile to Eric Garner. And they all tap into the pain of seeing the horrifying final photo of Emmet Till. And the lynching photos. And on and on. Why do we watch these videos? And what’s it doing to us to have them inside us? Danielle and Toure dig in today on Democracyish.

Repubs Don’t Care About Black People
Trump and the right decided it was time to go back to work—who cares how many die—as soon as they realized that many of those dying from Coronavirus are Black and brown. This is no coincidence. This is part of the racial contract that has been a part of America since the beginning. To explore the racial aspect of the back to work movement, Danielle and Toure are joined by Adam Serwer from the Atlantic.
