Yesterday, the Supreme Court blocked the Trump
administration’s attempt to rescind DACA, the program protecting hundreds of
thousands of Dreamers from deportation, but the President continues to push for
anti-immigrant policies. DACA recipient and Digital Campaigns Manager at
FWD.us, Juan Escalante, joins me on the show today to talk
about the impact of the decision and the ongoing fight for immigrant rights.
Today is Juneteenth, a moment to celebrate the end of
slavery in America, but at this moment we are also living with a racist
president, a pandemic and economic crisis, and police violence that have all
disproportionately harmed minority communities. Award-winning blogger and trans
human rights advocate, Monica Roberts (AKA TransGriot), joins me on the show today to
talk about the significance of the day, visibility for the trans community and
more.
This sure has been another crazy week in politics what with Trump’s
Tulsa rally tomorrow, major Supreme Court rulings and more environmental
rollbacks from the Trump administration.
Joining me today to help us wrap up the week in politics is Eleanor Clift the Washington
correspondent for The Daily Beast,
where she covers the White House and writes about politics and culture.
