There's so much going on that Katie and Jesse are back again, already. In this episode they discuss the protests and riots popping off all over the country in response to George Floyd's horrific death, the media's predictably sloppy handling of some of the complexities of police reform, and the difference between meaningful and performative activism. Should they appoint themselves leaders of the nationwide movement for criminal justice reform? Hard to say. -"The Case for Black Optimism" (Quillette) -"Police Are Killing Fewer People In Big Cities, But More In Suburban And Rural America" (FiveThirtyEight) -Samuel Sinyangwe on legislation that might help (Twitter)
