Trade What's Next _ Washington, D.C., is experiencing a "summer surge" of National Guard and federal law enforcement in preparation for the nation's 250th Independence Day celebrations. We'll speak with an activist who argues that these aggressive enforcement efforts are causing more harm than good. A new report from the ACLU reveals that law enforcement agencies in areas that were previously under Justice Department oversight continue to engage in the same problematic behaviors that led to federal scrutiny in the first place. The lead author of the report will join us to discuss these findings. The economy added far fewer jobs than expected last month, while unemployment rates among Black men and women showed a slight decline. Economist Morgan Harper will explain whether this trend is a positive development. Poor white MAGA supporters are realizing that the Trump Administration has misled them. Antiracism educator Tim Wise will break down why they continue to support a regime that does not have their best interests at heart. And a white Republican Pennsylvania State Representative claims that the Black House Speaker ejected him from the chamber. Joanna McClinton will be here to share her perspective on the situation.

This brother Tim wise is absolutely spot on! It was never about the price of eggs, economy, or any kind of policy. It’s all about whiteness point blank.

The Harlem Hell fighters, Chicago Black Devils (370th, with all Black Officiers my Grandfather's unit) and Blue Helmets. Only the Hell Fighter's have recently been recognized in the US.

Preach Roland and panelists....PLEASE keep speaking for those who don't hear us. That is not our flag. That flag is the symbol of Black oppression. My father was a Korean War Veteran who came home with a photo album of pictures of Korean men, women and children that they, Black and white American men, had food with, drank beer with and danced with. He had pictures of them with their children and older parents. When my father passed away, I sent a beautiful shadow box to my youngest sister who received his American flag from the funeral home. The goal was for his flag to be placed in the shadowbox and each of his children would get a chance to display it in our homes, there were six of us. That never happened because my sister said, "Daddy would not care about that flag. He often spoke of the shame of America towards Black people after they came home from wars." I am relieved that we will not parade that flag from house to house. It represents the crimes against Black Americans, it represents the inhumanity of whiteness in America, it represents blood of millions of bodies of Black Americans who built this country, it represents the fight for this country that we embodied, it represents the marches for the freedoms in this country for OTHERS to bask in while Black Americans are still waiting. Thank You Derrick. Rest in Peace Baby Kohen! EXCELLENT Show Roland and friends!!❤🖤💚

Why would deadly force be employed for suspected shoplifting?
