California recently allocated $12 million for reparations for the state's Black residents as a way to compensate them for the harm caused by the legacy of slavery and current discrimination.
Although it's not clear what the money will be spent on, it is clear it won't be directed toward cash payments at the moment, which many in the reparations movement say is the best way to atone for the legacy and harm of slavery.
NPR's Adrian Florido speaks with NPR race and identity correspondent Sandhya Dirks about the latest on California's attempts to lead the way on reparations.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The Horrible Voyage of the 1905 Russian Baltic Fleet (Encore)
In February 1904, the Russian Empire found itself at war with the Empire of Japan over what was territory in the current nation of China.
The problem for Russia was that a big chunk of its navy was located in the Baltic Sea, and the war was in Asia.
The Baltic fleet was sent on an incredibly long and interesting voyage to get the ships into battle.
Learn more about the disastrous voyage of the Imperial Russian Baltic Fleet and how it helped change the course of Russian history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Pod Save America - Why No One’s Winning Young Voters (Ep. 5)
Jon is joined by youth polling experts John Della Volpe and Kristen Soltis Anderson to talk about apathy among young voters this election cycle. Why are they so disengaged? Are some truly defecting to Trump? And what message, if any, can get them out for the polls? Jon, John, and Kristen dive into the focus group tape to unpack Gen Z’s opinions of our octogenarian presidential candidates, their top economic issues, and the war in Gaza. And Anderson Clayton, the 26-year-old Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, joins to talk about Gen Z’s faith in their own ability to improve democracy.

Up First from NPR - The Sunday Story: Is this what democracy looks like?
This week on The Sunday Story, a new series from NPR's Embedded podcast that explores what happens when one political party has near-complete control. Supermajority, hosted by WPLN reporter Meribah Knight, follows three conservative moms in Tennessee over the course of a year as they learn to navigate their Republican-controlled state legislature.
Reeling from a mass shooting at their kids' school, the three moms become advocates for gun control. But this isn't a story about gun control. It's about what they find when they step inside their state capitol for the first time in their adult lives. These political newcomers confront powerful lawmakers, a dizzying legislative process and most importantly – their own long-held beliefs. What can the women accomplish? How will the work change them? And what might it all reveal about democracy?

Everything Everywhere Daily - How to Lie With Statistics
Mark Twain once said, 'There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.'
The reason why he placed statistics into its own category is because it is possible to use numbers to misrepresent the truth, distort reality, or outright lie.
However, if you know what to look for, you can catch misuses of statistics, and if really pay attention, you can find these misuses almost everywhere.
Learn more about how you can lie with statistics on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
