Summary

Today on the Sup podcast, Kaitlin and Amanda follow up on the ongoing efforts to #DefundTheFireworks. Then they explain shocking new details about Breonna Taylor’s death revealed after an officer involved was finally fired, including information about a previous offense that should have taken him off the job a year earlier. Then they debrief on primary day in Kentucky, where concerns about voter suppression arose after the state slashed 95% of polling sites. Looks like one polling place for an entire county was definitely not enough! Finally, they discuss the broader context of voter suppression and the history of disenfranchising Black voters.
