About this listen
In Episode 3, we get into the heart of a national flashpoint: the ongoing fallout in Minneapolis after the fatal shooting of Renee Good by a federal ICE agent — an incident that has sparked protests, federal-local tensions, and fierce debate over law enforcement use of force and accountability.
We then pivot to federal politics, discussing Donald Trump’s talk of invoking the Insurrection Act amid rising civil unrest and what that could mean for deployment of U.S. military forces domestically.
Next, we explain the class action lawsuit over the Angola prison “farm line,” where incarcerated individuals allege cruel and unusual labor conditions reminiscent of forced field work.
From law and policy, we swing into social media news with Kristy Scott’s divorce from Desmond Scott, unpacking how public relationships play out under the spotlight.
We close on comedy and culture with Druski’s sketch on the Black church and the prosperity gospel — a clip that’s gone viral and is now under fire for its portrayal of flashy pastors and social-media-ready gimmicks.
Tune in for insight, context, and conversation that goes beyond the headlines.
