Summary

In this special collaborative episode with Thinking Cap, the podcast from the Center for American Progress, we ask progressives, "What have you done for us lately?" Should progressives be doing more to reach out and specifically appeal to communities of color? Plus, a conversation on the recent shooting in Texas and the connection between domestic assault and toxic masculinity. In The Thick hosts Maria Hinojosa and Julio Ricardo Varela lead a conversation on this and more with Michele Jawando and Igor Volsky, hosts of Thinking Cap.
