THE QUESTION

  • Are you for protesting? Looting/vandalism?
  • Allyship: White privilege. What can white people do to support people of color fight for justice and equal treatment?
  • How can police do their jobs and when is aggressive behavior warranted vs. not warranted?
  • What can we do as a collective to initiate and implement real change to our radicalized justice system and police training?

POLITRICKS

  • Anonymous returns.
  • Trump vetos bill that would forgive student loans of those who enrolled in fraudulent universities.
