It's Wednesday, May 18th. I'm getting a lesson.

And I'm Priyanka Arabandi and this is what a day.

We're reminding anyone who bought NFTs of our old episodes to sell them as quickly as humanly possible.

That's right. We may have hyped it as a great investment back in March 2021,

but we take it back and advise you to get out.

Yeah, one a day. Not a licensed financial advisor.

Not in any state or jurisdiction. On today's show, a Michigan judge ruled that the state's unenforced abortion ban cannot go into effect if Roas overturned plus we'll have updates on recent mass shootings in Texas and Southern California.

But first, we focus on Saturday's shooting in Buffalo, New York. President Biden traveled to Buffalo yesterday to speak with the families of victims of the white supremacist mass shooting and other community members.

In a speech, he strongly condemned white supremacy and referred repeatedly to the shooting as an act of domestic terrorism.

White supremacy is a poison. It's a poison running through it. It really is.

Running through our body politic. And it's been allowed to fester and grow right in front of our eyes.

No more. I mean, no more. We need to say as clearly enforced as we can that the ideology of white supremacy has no place in America.

None.

And look, failure is saying that is going to be complicity. Silence is complicity. It's complicity. We cannot remain silent.

I don't actually know if previous presidents have ever talked about white supremacy before. It kind of feels like it's a big deal for him to be calling it out in this way and good on him for doing that.

But Gideon, what else do President Biden have to say during his visit?

Yes, so he also paid tributes to the victims in sometimes emotional moments. And without invoking any particular names, Biden also referenced political and media figures who have attempted to gain politically or financially from spreading the racist lie of the so-called replacement theory.

I call all Americans to reject the lie. And I can them those who spread the lie for power, political gain and for profit.

Yeah, so this is not entirely new territory for Biden. He has condemned white supremacy strongly in the past as recently as the 2017 Charlottesville rally that compelled him. He said to actually run for president.

But some people are now asking, you know, what the actual plan is to try and prevent attacks like this in the future.

And the ACP president Derek Johnson told the Associated Press that it was important for Biden to show up in Buffalo, but quote, we're more concerned with preventing this from happening in the future. And Tony Aarrington, a hair stylist in Buffalo told the New York Times, quote, I could care less about what Biden said. I want to see action.

Yeah, that response does make a lot of sense. I think a lot of us really do feel fed up at this point. But one thing that we talk about a lot after these horrific mass shootings is federal gun control legislation.
