The Gist - The Legacy of John Lewis
On the Gist, Rep. John Lewis and his legacy.
In the interview, Mike checks in with Oregon Public Broadcasting’s Jonathan Levinson. As a multimedia reporter and producer, Levinson has been on the ground nightly in Portland following the protests, getting tear gassed in the process. Levinson says that it’s more than just support for the BLM movement, its boiling frustration around governmental systemic failure.
In the spiel, because of John Lewis, we have Barack Obama.

Village SquareCast - Equality in Life, part 1: Justice and Law Enforcement
Our Local Color Project 2019-20 season is made possible by the generous support of Bank of America.
As our beloved community joins others around the nation in the important unfinished work to make the promise of equality a reality, constructive conversation helps to illuminate the path to progress and meaningful change.

As Americans unite in a shared mission about the civil rights issues of our time in the aftermath of the tragic killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, former Tallahassee Democrat publisher Skip Foster moderates a dialogue and takes questions from the public for the first program “Equality in Life: Justice and Law Enforcement.” Subsequent topics include “Equality in Life: Business and Growth,” facilitated by Heidi Otway, President of SalterMitchell PR; and “Equality in Life: The Role of Government,” facilitated by Lila Jaber, President of the Jaber Group.
Joining the conversation: Reverend R.B. Holmes, Bethel Missionary Baptist Church Attorney Ben Crump, Attorney for the family of George Floyd U.S. Attorney Larry Keefe, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Florida Rachel Rojas, Special Agent in Charge, FBI State Attorney Jack Campbell, 2nd Judicial Circuit Sheriff Walt McNeill, Leon County Chief Lawrence Revell, Tallahassee Police Department Adner Marcelin, President, Tallahassee NAACP Talethia Edwards, Founder & President, Greater Bond Community Neighborhood Association
Mentioned in this program: You can view the results of the Sachs Media Group Survey on equality in our hometown here.

On the Gist, gambling the nation’s health on professional sports.
In the interview, Mike talks with Capt. Lawrence Hunter, a retired commanding officer from the Waterbury Police Department in Connecticut, about policing in America. Hunter spent the majority of his career in law enforcement as a high-ranking officer, and as an educator and instructor. In his retirement, he has launched his own series, Captain Hunter’s Podcast, which seeks to “bridge the gap between police and the communities they serve,” expanding his emphasis on education and encouraging a reckoning with racism.
In the spiel, Bill Barr just lets the Democrats rant.

Time To Say Goodbye - Food and Gender on Asian American TikTok, Portland’s White Protests, and Good Identity Politics
你好 from cyberspace!
This week, Jay scuba dived the depths of Asian American TikTok to engage Andy and Tammy in a critique of gendered home-cooking videos. How far have we really come? We then get a bit more serious, with a discussion of the continuing Black Lives Matter protests in downtown Portland and lessons in coalition-building from the 1970s Combahee River Collective.
4:10 – TikTok Cooking
Jay plays several TikTok videos of young Asian Americans cooking their favorite dishes. The men seem to adopt a “Black” style of talking, while the women take on a more childlike “kawaii かわいい” tone. What does this say about the personae available to Asian Americans? Is there such a thing as “pan-Asian”—or even Korean, etc.—English? Also, a “Waysian” TikTok blows Andy’s mind.
TikTok Highlights:
Miyeok Guk 미역국 (K seaweed soup)
34:50 – Portland Protests
The feds are still rioting in Portland, Oregon, spurring thousands of locals to fill the streets. The novelist Mitchell S. Jackson, a native of the city, recently described his skepticism about white anarchists in these protests. Contrast this with the big-tent perspective of Kent Ford, founder of Portland’s Black Panthers chapter. What makes a protester, or a protest, really about Black Lives Matter?
47:40 – Good Identity Politics
We’re all big fans of How We Get Free and other writing by and about the Combahee River Collective. How does this model of Black, queer, socialist feminism apply to our present movement moment? Can we forego an “oppression olympics” for more productive solidarity? Can “identity politics” be redeemed? Also, Tammy’s landline rings.
Please send us comments, questions, corrections!

Chapo Trap House - 440 – Arm the Emus (7/27/20)
We start off this week looking at the roll of bullying in Massachusetts politics & the inauspicious beginning of the MLB season. From there we kind of transition into the ongoing normalization of COVID and Trump’s federal police goon squad in America. Then, after TTRPG’ing contested 2020 election scenarios, we kind of take a left turn towards Brazil’s Looney Tunes fascism, and stick the landing by reflecting on Mormons as the Perfect Americans.
