Rambles.

Hello and welcome to the tripod.

Today this is not a comedy podcast.

We are recording this on Wednesday, June 3rd, eight days of protests have followed the

death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.

The latest in an unfortunately packed history of police brutality and police killing of an

unarmed black man.

And now we've seen protests in all 50 states, though I don't think that quite captures

the full picture of what's happening right now over a hundred cities across the country

and global participation from places from France all the way to New Zealand.

So today we want to take a moment to talk about the Black Lives Matter movement.

What we think this moment means for whatever our perspective is worth, our own history of

racism and anti-racism as it's impacted our lives.

As well as firsthand accounts from being at the protests this week.

This is something that I think you are already thinking about.

I hope you're already thinking about it.

This has touched your life in one way or another.

The let's let's dive in guys.

You know L.A. has been a big place where there's been a lot of protests, a lot of police

presence at those protests.

We have the National Guard here.

We've had curfews every day, since Saturday with two days ago a curfew beginning at 1pm
