Almost as soon as the new Dave Chappelle comedy specials hit Netflix, we could tell there were problems. Our twitter timelines lit up with people talking about homophobia, transphobia, and jokes about sexual assault. We watched, and we agreed. Whatever Dave's been doing for the last twelve years, it didn't involve evolving along with the rest of us. Also this week, RuPaul spoke about something that's been a scourge of gay bars ever since straight people found out about them: bachelorette parties. And Bill O'Reilly had the nerve to come for America's favorite Auntie, Congresswoman Maxine Waters - not by challenging her policies or political positions, but by saying she wore a "James Brown wig." The clap back could be heard from outer space, and continues to reverberate through every dusty corner of the internet and cable TV. Finally, closer to home, the Kentucky General Assembly wrapped up its session this week. One bill that made it through the session was SB 120, which seeks to address some of the challenges faced by incarcerated and formerly-incarcerated people. We learn more this week from Holly Harris, Executive Director of the U.S. Justice Action Network.
