On today’s episode, hosts Rachel Vindman, Jasmine Clark, and Amanda Weinstein discuss the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. When George cried out for his mother, moms across America felt that cry in their hearts and began working for justice. But despite a year of protests and conversations, it still seems impossible to gain any traction on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. Jasmine mentions a fellow legislator in Georgia who would rather talk about “Black on Black violence” than take any action to protect Black lives.And speaking of laws that have failed to pass, our hosts then discuss the recent Senate vote to block a commission that would investigate the attempted insurrection on January 6. From there, they discuss QAnon and right-wing misinformation more generally... what exactly is QAnon? And how do we deal with loved ones who have been sucked into Q or other conspiracies? To learn more, they chat with Lisa Reese, who lost her relationship with her sister over QAnon.After that, Rachel gets the opportunity to chat with Connie Schultz. Connie is a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, columnist for USA TODAY, an author, and the wife of Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown. She and Rachel discuss the events of January 6th, how Connie deals with trolls on social media, what makes her laugh, and how she ended up with a trash bag full of boxes of hair dye. Finally, our hosts celebrate the supportive women in their life in this week’s “Toast To Joy.”Suburban women helped decide the 2020 election. But we’re just getting started.
