Summary

Julio and guest co-host Jamilah King, deputy inequality editor at BuzzFeed News, discuss the Brooklyn subway shooting and the calls for more policing in response. They also get into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation’s purchase of a six million dollar mansion in California. And, they unpack the latest on COVID-19.

ITT Staff Picks:

Nick Pinto writes about the failure of aggressive policing to prevent potential tragedies like the Brooklyn subway shooting in this piece for The Intercept.
In this piece for NY Mag, journalist Sean Campbell dives deep into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation’s purchase of a $6 million mansion in California.
For The Atlantic, Ed Yong documents the prolonged grief of those who’ve lost loved ones to COVID-19: “Every news story twisted the knife. Every surge salted the wound. Two years later, she is still inundated by her grief. ‘And now people are saying we can get back to normal,’ she told me. ‘What’s normal?’”
