This is a big week, so on this show, we talk about a range of hot topic issues, and connect them to broader systemic problems. Nomiki Konst opens by discussing Joe Biden’s new infrastructure bill, which is receiving some bad-faith pushback. We can and we must invest in public infrastructure.

Then, Jim Freeman, author of Rich Thanks to Racism: How the Ultra-Wealthy Profit from Racial Injustice, joins to explain how rich people are getting away with profiting from the violent structure of white supremacy. For today’s panel, Jordan Zakarin and Simon Narode discuss the accusations against Matt Gaetz, and response from politicians and the mainstream media. The Derek Chauvin trial is also underway. Our panel discusses whether it could lead to meaningful police reform. Finally, we discuss the legalization of marijuana in New York, and the importance of building federal legislation that remedies the harm caused by the war on drugs.
