New York Governor Andrew Cuomo concealing the death’s in New York’s nursing homes... President Donald Trump inciting an attack on the capitol in which a police officer and four attackers died. These are the results of governance by magical thinking. Everything in politics right now is asking the question: Are we ready to reinvent our politics so we tell each other the truth?

Also on today's show; Lisha Brooks joins Nomiki to discuss the legacy project she’s working on to celebrate her brother Michael Brooks' memory. And later, our panel with Natalie Shure and Esperanza Fonseca take a closer look at the Amazon workers in Alabama who are fighting to form a union.
