Summary
The country is reeling from yet another mass shooting. A gunman stormed an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, yesterday, killing 19 children and two adults. We’re shifting from our usual Wednesday show because all we can ask is: “How are we here again?” The answers are not satisfying.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “The Supreme Court Just Gutted Another Constitutional Right” from Slate
- “Supreme court guts lifeline for prisoners who claim wrongful convictions” from The Guardian
- Sixth Amendment text from Cornell Law School
- Second Amendment text from Cornell Law School
- “His Name Is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice” book excerpt from The Washington Post
- “Ten days after Tops mass shooting, Buffalo reacts to Texas school shooting” from WBKW Buffalo
- “Hundreds seek mental health counseling after Buffalo mass shooting” from Spectrum News 1
- “Anger, anguish among Parkland and Newtown families after Texas shooting” from The Washington Post
