Summary
DeRay, De’Ara, Kaya, and Myles cover the underreported news of the week — including hyper-relaxed police hiring practices, a 2023 ruling based on a 19th century law governing the treatment of enslaved people, federal efforts to bypass local governance, and transphobia within the queer community. DeRay interviews award-winning author and reporter Chip Jones about his new book The Organ Thieves: The Shocking Story of the First Heart Transplant in the Segregated South.
