The big question we ask today, on the anniversary of George Floyd’s death, is whether or not movements can actually move policy. Nomiki explores this question in her opening monologue, reflecting on how not enough has changed from a year ago to today. Then, Akela Lacy joins the show to discuss her recent article in The Intercept about how Democrats have missed a symbolic deadline for police reform. On today’s Tuesday panel, we have Benjamin Dixon and Simon Narode. The panel reacts to Gov. Greg Abbott prohibiting the defunding of police departments in Texas, Marjorie Taylor Greene comparing anti-maskers to Jews in the Holocaust, Netanyahu thanking Joe Biden, and former governor Chris Christie hinting that he might run for President again.
