Episode 1025 Today we take on two law stories the media have been getting wrong recently. 1) Did the Supreme Court just "end the right to protest in three states"? We go beyond the headlines to better understand Justice Sonia Sotomayor's denial of certiorari in a negligence suit brought against Black Lives Matter organizer Deray McKesson by a police officer injured during a BLM protest in Baton Rouge. 2) Biden's border. The impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ended last week in the Senate before it ever began, but the lies, misinformation, and terrible reporting which fueled it are only getting worse. Matt breaks down what people who complain about Joe Biden's "open-border policies" are actually saying before getting into the facts. How do Trump's enforcement metrics compare to Biden's? How has a commitment to actually abiding by basic due process and our international and domestic obligations to people seeking protection for persecution been spun into "lawlessness at the border"? And what even are Biden's border policies anyway? 1) Justice Sonia Sotomayor's order denying certiorari in McKesson Doe (4/15/24) 2) Articles of impeachment passed by the House against DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas (Dismissed by the Senate on 4/16/2024) 3) Data Show Trump Would Have Released as Many Border Crossers as Biden, David Bier, Cato Institute (1/5/2024) 4) The Biden Administration's Humanitarian Parole Program for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans: An Overview, American Immigration Council (10/21/2023) 5) 126 Parole Orders over 7 Decades: A Historical Review of Immigration Parole Orders, David Bier, Cato Institute (7/17/2023) If you'd like to support the show (and lose the ads!), please pledge at patreon.com/law!

This week, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear McKesson v. Doe. The case involves a police officer injured during a Black Lives Matter protest after the police murder of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La in 2016. The injured police officer sued the organizer DeRay McKesson for damages. Last year, the US Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit sided with the officer. The Supreme Court, for a second time, declined to hear the case. The impact of the Supreme Court's decision to decline to hear the case is potentially devastating for organizers of mass protests. In our latest, Scott talks with movement lawyer Maggie Ellinger-Locke about the case and the precedent it may be setting up. Bio// Maggie Ellinger-Locke, she/her, is a movement lawyer based in the Washington DC area, living on the stolen land of the Anacostan and Piscataway peoples. She works for the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center at Howard University School of Law, where she helps train the next generation of movement lawyers. Previously she worked as a staff attorney at Greenpeace USA, and has also worked in public policy and private practice.

on todyas show James, Victoria And Glenn discuss the case of McKesson v. Doe, which arose from protests in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 2016 following the police shooting of Alton Sterling. DeRay Mckesson, a civil rights activist, organized the protests, and during one of them, an unknown person threw a rock and injured a police officer named John Doe. Doe sued Mckesson, claiming he was negligent in organizing the protest that led to violence. The case has been heard in various courts, with the key issue being whether the First Amendment protects Mckesson from this lawsuit. The transcript provides a detailed account of the procedural history and arguments presented at each court level. It also examines the legal implications of organizing a protest that turns violent and critiques the flawed legal reasoning in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals' opinions. The case is now before the Supreme Court, which will decide if the First Amendment shields Mckesson from liability for injuries caused by others at the protest. Very Interesting how the South handled BLM protest don't miss it!
When dealing with progressive policies that not everyone who votes blue can agree with, it can feel like a huge mountain to overcome. When dealing with one of the most protected groups in the entire country, that mountain just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Documentation of police brutality and the need for change is higher than ever, yet the leap of progress we were expecting never came. Organizing with conditions like these can seem like an intimidating jump to make with the issues that concern you the most, but our guest has a secret for you. It's not a short battle, we're in it for the long haul! For anyone starting their journey into organizing, our guest has you covered! We're joined by DeRay McKesson from Campaign Zero to talk safety beyond policing, policing policies, and their story with approaching organizing.Our guests today:DeRay McKessonMentioned on the air: Campaign Zero Eight Can't Wait Text “RESIST” to 50409!

It's hard to tell if the nation is making progress on police reform when another high profile killing like that of Tyre Nichols hits the news. Have body cameras helped? How about diversifying staff? Or doing away with no knock warrants? Andy poses those questions to activist DeRay Mckesson, who began Campaign Zero after Michael Brown was killed in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014. DeRay explains why police violence persists, outlines the positive steps made in the last decade, and shares how you can continue the work at the local level.

Rikers is a pretrial detention center and while people await their day in court, the conditions at the island are simply inhumane due to violence, overcrowding and inadequate medical care. Rikers is scheduled to close in 2027 but at the rate we're going, eighty more people might die on the island before the jail is shut down. How do we untangle this culture of perpetual violence at Rikers? And could an intervention called a federal receivership make conditions more humane for the people who live there? Host Travon Free uncovers why a receivership might be the only solution that could actually make things better for people right now.

In this episode, host Travon Free uncovers the racist roots of the debunked medical term “excited delirium.” A study from Maryland in 2017 found that excited delirium was referenced in 11 percent of cases where someone died in police custody. And when these cases go to court, the concept of excited delirium can be used to argue that the police did nothing wrong. How did TASER, a couple of doctors and a handful of so-called experts take a meaningless psychiatric term and get it picked up by police departments, medical professionals and courtrooms all over the country?

Can you hear the difference between a firework and a gunshot? ShotSpotter says it can. It's a private sector company that uses microphones to detect gunfire and alert police to the scene. The company says it's a powerful tool to stop gun violence, but critics say it's an excuse to overpolice some of our most vulnerable communities. How did this technology with questionable accuracy lead to million-dollar contracts with police departments across the country? Travon walks us through the case of Silvon Simmons, a man falsely accused of shooting a cop, all because of an eight-second audio file from ShotSpotter. Plus, conversations with a former 911 operator and a city councilmember in Durham, NC, about the fight against ShotSpotter.

Sammy's sister, Joanne, and brother, Jean, join us to describe how a 911 call for medical transport to psychiatric treatment was answered by police brutality and death. Why weren't the police ever held accountable for causing Sammy's death? Would Sammy have been treated differently if he was not a Black man?We'll also speak with DeRay McKesson, a civil rights activist, author, podcaster, and educator who is often associated with the Ferguson protests and Black Lives Matter movement. He co-founded Campaign Zero, a campaign to reduce police violence through policy reform that is helping to bring attention to the Samuel Celestin case.

We are excited to welcome you back with a brief update on our time off between seasons. We then launch into a fun gay reimagining of the government for and by Black people.

This week we welcome Executive Director and Co-Founder of Campaign Zero, DeRay McKesson to our Surface Level Family. DeRay adds a point of view from an individual who has been doing the work as a former teacher and dedicated activist. We weave through topics related to gun violence, “Don't Say Gay” bills, and trans identity. He poignantly said during the episode that, “the culture wars are here”, and we discuss what we're going to do about it. We know a lot but we don't know it all, so join the conversation on social and let us know your thoughts.
We used to be ashamed of being wrong, now some build careers on lies. The CPI is a lie that's going to destroy personal wealth, especially the "gee, I've got $50 in savings" type Americans. ("We're all in this together" was already used by the Fauci-virus people.) Deray is tonight's contestant on "Where's that a**hole now?" There's NO WAY liberals believe the distraction lies like men having periods and giving birth. They just like hating others, and they know the mentally challenged think the fight is real. The FBI knows how to stir the pot (and smoke it). Seriously, they need to stop assisting violent rioters like Antifa and BLM. They had one job.

Today on Midday, we are going to talk about the case of Keith Davis, Jr., who is accused by the Baltimore State's Attorney of murdering Kevin Jones in 2015. Mr. Davis has already been tried four times for this murder. Two of those trials ended in hung juries. The other two, including the most recent one, ended in guilty verdicts that were overturned. Mr. Davis remains in jail while awaiting his fifth trial, which is currently scheduled for May, although it could be delayed. This case has garnered a lot of public attention, largely due to the efforts of Mr. Davis' wife, Kelly, and a passionate and vocal group of advocates who for years have been critical of State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby and the prosecutors in her office. These advocates have been working to bring the details of the case to wide attention. One of those advocates is DeRay Mckesson, who joins us today. DeRay is an activist and co-founder of Campaign Zero, an organization founded to combat police violence. Campaign Zero has taken-up the cause of Mr. Davis, claiming that Ms. Mosby's prosecution is due to what the group calls “vindictiveness and personal and political animus.” That was the language used in a motion to dismiss the case filed on March 8 by Deborah Katz Levi, the Director of Special Litigation at the MD office of the Public Defender. We made the State's Attorney's Office aware of the fact that we would be talking about this case today on Midday. Citing that it is an on-going legal matter, they declined to participate in the conversation. Here's what's happened in the case so far: Kevin Jones was shot to death in June of 2015, as he walked to work at Pimlico Race Course in Northwest Baltimore. In 2016, Keith Davis was tried on charges of armed robbery of a cab driver, a charge for which he was acquitted. He was, however, convicted of illegal possession of a firearm and sentenced to five years in prison. In 2017, he was charged in the murder of Kevin Jones. Davis' trial in May of that year ended in a hung jury. He was re-tried in that case several months later. In that trial, he was found not guilty of first-degree murder, but guilty of second-degree murder. That verdict was overturned because the court found that the prosecution had not informed the defense and the jury of the background of one of the witnesses, a jailhouse informant. A third trial, in June of 2018, also ended with a hung jury. A fourth trial, in February of 2020 ended in a guilty verdict. Mr. Davis, who maintained his innocence, was sentenced to 50 years in prison. That guilty verdict was overturned because of problems with questions that were posed to potential jurors. Each of these trials were presided over by different judges, and prosecuted by different lawyers from the State's Attorney's office. Last December, Mr. Davis turned down a plea bargain that would have reduced his sentence to 15 years. As mentioned earlier, Mr. Davis remains in jail, awaiting a fifth trial. We do not know whether or not Keith Davis killed Kevin Jones. There is certainly ample evidence that he did not, but two juries have been convinced by evidence at trial that he is responsible for Mr. Jones' death. Ms. Mosby has said that prosecutors are pursuing this case to bring justice to Mr. Jones' family. Mr. Davis' supporters are seeking justice for him, as well. (In an unrelated case, Mr. Davis has been charged with attempted murder for an alleged fight he had in jail with another inmate. That fight took allegedly place in June 2020. Mr. Davis wasn't charged until May, 2021. The delay is cited by Mr. Davis' lawyer as proof that Baltimore State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby waited until Mr. Davis was granted another trial in the other murder case before charging him with something else. Again, this is according to a motion to dismiss his case filed on his behalf.) Host Tom Hall notes that he has not attended the trials, and does not claim to know every detail of this complicated case. Tom has, however, read recent motions filed to the court by the State's Attorney's office and the public defender, Deborah Katz Levi, on behalf of Mr. Davis. DeRay Mckesson is here to explain why he and his organization, Campaign Zero, think the case against Mr. Davis should be dismissed. DeRay is the host of the Pod Save the People Podcast and the author of On the Other Side of Freedom: The Case for Hope. In 2016, he was a candidate in the Democratic primary for Baltimore Mayor. Tom Hall has known DeRay for several years, and believes him to be a thoughtful advocate for whatever causes he champions. He is happy to give him the opportunity to share his perspective and to respond to some of the points the State's Attorneys have made in the motions they filed in this case a couple of weeks ago. DeRay Mckesson joins us now on our digital line. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
THE BLACK CATALYST SHOWSEASON 1 EPISODE 1: CHICAGO'S DARLINGSIn this episode, we visit Chicago's inspiring Black Queers. From LGBTQ+ news headlines to the narrative feature that takes a closer look at what makes Nobody's Darling a unique experience as the second Black Queer, woman-owned bar in the United States including an interview with Black lesbian pioneers and Chicago LGBT Hall of Famers, Pat McCombs and Vera Washington who are critical to lesbian bar history in Chicago and fought racist carding in the 1970s. They also created Executive Sweet which began as a Lesbian-only “traveling club” (bar takeover/pop-up bar event).Host/Audio Editor: Jameela HammondVideographer/Video Editor: Brooke ColemanVideo: Youtube.com/JampackedFollow @theblackcatalyst for more information.ABOUT:THE BLACK CATALYST SHOW is an audio/video podcast show focusing on inspiring Black Queer stories discussing identity, coming out, navigating through microaggressions/discrimination, LGBTQ+ community, safe space, and more.Black Queer folx have been the changemakers, but their stories don't always receive front-page coverage. George Floyd's death united people to stand for racial justice and LGBTQ rights throughout the world. Chanting — Black Lives Matter led to the rallying cry that— All Black Lives Matter. It was important for the Black community to reconcile – at long last – the way it has ignored the three layers of marginalization that its Queer folx experience because anti-Black racism couldn't be dismantled without also dismantling homophobia, transphobia, etc. Black LGBTQ leaders have been at the forefront of change, including Alicia Garza and DeRay Mckesson. The Gay Liberation Day march that turned into the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York was spearheaded by Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, Queer people of color and trans activists. Bayard Rustin, was a Black gay civil rights activist and mastermind of the Civil Rights Movement's major campaigns, such as the March on Washington. Rustin was also an advisor to Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1950s and ‘60s. As the documentary The Same Difference shows, BIPOC LGBTQ+ in relation to White LGBTQ+ are very different in representation and their cultural differences. Now, the first Black (Queer) woman to win an Emmy for comedy writing, Lena Waithe, has been instrumental in pushing Hollywood for more Black Queer representation.
DeRay Mckesson, Co-Founder of Campaign Zero, and Katie Ryan, Campaign Zero's Chief of Staff, joined us on The ProGov Podcast to discuss no-knock raids and their new campaign, #EndAllNoKnocks.

This week, we've invited two inspiring activists on the forefront of the push for Police Reform, for a two-part special. In Part One, we'll talk with DeRay McKesson and then in Part Two, we'll sit down with Arthur Rizer. In this episode Deray McKesson explains and helps us understand what kinds of police reform are impactful and how the movement can gain momentum. Walker and I both learned a tremendous amount from this conversation, and that's why we are so excited to share it with our listeners. DeRay McKesson is a leader in the BlackLivesMatter movement, a co-founder of CampaignZero -- a leading police reform advocacy group, and a host of the podcast Pod Save the People. He helped organize the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, later winning recognition from Forbes Magazine as One of the World's Greatest Leaders in 2015 and from Time Magazine as One of the 30 Most Influential People on the Internet, in 2015. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In today's episode I chat with community organizer and civil rights activist, Deray McKesson. We chat about growing up in Baltimore, what it means to be a community organizer, life after policing as we know it, patriarchy, whiteness, antiblackness, and most importantly the power of people just showing up and standing up for what's right and our collective responsibility to build the kind of world that we all want to live in.

Senator Kamala Harris is named as the first Black female candidate for Vice President. It’s a historic choice for America, coming at a historic moment for the country. Christiane Amanpour is joined by Valerie Jarrett, former Senior Adviser to Barack Obama, to assess the presidential race, and the Biden-Harris ticket. Law enforcement issues have played a fundamental role in Harris’ career, and her presidential campaign. Civil Rights Activist DeRay Mckesson has previously challenged Harris on her record, and he discusses his take on Joe Biden’s new vice-presidential pick. Then, at this time of social upheaval and hyper partisan politics, perhaps it’s time for some lessons in “hopeful history”. Author Rutger Bregman joins Christiane to chat about his new book "Humankind:A Hopeful History”, and why believes that humans are innately good. And our Walter Isaacson speaks to journalist and author Kurt Andersen about the absence of fairness in America today. They talk about his new book "Evil Geniuses: The Unmaking of America: A Recent History” and the threat of hyper-capitalism in America.
