Guest host Cortney Downs is joined by state Representative Nick Wilson, Amanda Hall of Dream.org, and Sarah Durand of KYFREE for a discussion on House Bill 291, known as the Family Preservation and Accountability Act. They dive into the impact of parental incarceration on children, communities, and the state economy. HB 291 is a Blueprint for Kentucky's Children priority bill that would require the courts to consider alternative sentencing options -- such as vocational training, mental health services, or outpatient substance use treatment -- for those who have committed a non-violent offense and are the primary caregiver to a dependent child; it is currently awaiting action by the Kentucky Senate.

What do you do when you have no political platform to stand on? If you are a Democrat, you naturally prop yourself up on the dead bodies of black people. That's what Kentucky Senate hopeful Charles Booker was hoping to accomplish when he channeled his inner Jussie Smollett, placing a noose around his neck to ask for your vote to stop Rand Paul's reign of terror over black people. “What has become prevalent in recent years is leftist public figures and political activists using relics of America's racist past and dead black criminal suspects to advance their careers,” Jason says. Today's DNC should change its name to the Dead Negro Confederacy, because it shares the same battle cry as the KKK: "Vote Democrat or die!" Another young black U.S. congressional candidate and “Fearless” contributor Royce White joins Jason to cut through the doublespeak of Booker's campaign and the Left's rhetoric. Then we get real with Shemeka Michelle, who uses the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard drama as an opportunity to speak frankly to black women and their behavior. Finally, we head to D.C. to get Delano Squires' insight on the Charles Booker campaign spot and the connection between the trans movement and Disney's "The Lion King." ​​Today's Sponsors: Two FREE 18-ounce Prime, center cut Ribeyes?!

This episode explores the legacy of Georgia Davis Powers, a native of Springfield and Louisville, Kentucky, who in 1967 became the first woman and first African-American elected in a general election to the Kentucky Senate. She was known for introducing legislation that advocated for Blacks, women, children, the poor, and the handicapped. Despite her election, Powers also had to fight for her own rights; for example, even as a Senator, Powers was unable to find a hotel room in segregated Frankfort and faced racism on a daily basis. Joining us to talk about Powers is Dr. Onyekwuluje, a Professor of Sociology at Western Kentucky University, where she balances teaching, research and service in the creation of a live conversation about equality. Her courses include topics such as race, class, and gender; race and ethnic relations; and stratification and mobility. She is the author of Historical Influence: Reading Georgia Powers as a Grassroots Civil Rights Leader in the Rough Business of Kentucky Politics, which examines the specific context of Powers' life and its connections to the fight for equal justice and women's rights around the world. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dimestories/message

June 30, 2020: Russian Bounty Boogaloo

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: The Russian government allegedly placed bounties on American troops in Afghanistan, hoping to provoke the Taliban and other extremist fighters to further enflame the endless conflict there. New reports show that Trump was briefed months ago about this, and did, well, nothing. Remind me why we’re even in Afghanistan anymore? Meanwhile, the Supreme Court struck down a Lousiana law that could have decimated the state’s remaining abortion clinics, thanks to Chief Justice John Robert’s switch to side with the liberals. He’s still a conservative, so don’t take this as any more than a lucky break. And lastly, the Kentucky Senate primary between progressive Charlie Booker and establishment darling Amy McGrath in Kentucky is still too close to call, but should be resolved later today when the last of the state’s absentee ballots are counted up. THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: Russian Bounty Boogaloo A new story involving the Russians and America’s neverending war in Afghanistan is sweeping through the media. Here are the broad strokes: multiple outlets have now reported that starting as early as 2019, the Russian military was offering bounties to the Taliban and other extremist groups in Afghanistan for successfully killing U.S. troops. The U.S., of course, has been half-heartedly trying to negotiate and uphold a peace deal with the Taliban, but it makes sense that Russia would want to throw a wrench in that process by any means necessary. But the scandal now has become when, exactly, the Trump administration was aware of the fact that a foreign power was putting out hits on its troops. The Trump administration has stressed that the president wasn’t briefed on the issue, but several reports say that’s B.S. The Associated Press reports that quote “top officials” in the White House were aware of the intelligence report way back in 2019. The New York Times, meanwhile, reports that our spies gave Trump himself a written briefing on the matter in February. Russia, of course, denies putting out the bounties. Sure. If Trump knew about it month or even a year ago, many Republicans and Democrats in Congress are understandably pissed off that he didn’t do anything or respond in any way. The problem is there’s no real winner here: if Trump knew about it and did nothing, that sucks, but at the same time, Trump’s response to Russia’s action could have been disastrous. He can’t exactly be trusted to put out a logical, measured response, let alone a decent one, like, say, just getting all of our troops out of Afghanistan in the first place. Warhawks will want to weaponize this story to goad the U.S. to further conflict with Russia, or Afghanistan, or whoever else gets in the way, which we should have learned by now is a bad idea. Whichever way you look at it, it’s a mess, but it’s almost certainly going to dominate headlines for the next few days, so keep an eye out for updates. John Roberts Temporarily Rescues Abortion Rights The Supreme Court delivered its second shock ruling in as many weeks on Monday, as Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the Court’s four liberal justices to strike down an abortion law in Louisiana. If upheld, the law could have reduced the state to a single solitary abortion clinic, and obvious massive barrier to a woman’s right to choose in the state. Roberts’ decision to side with the liberals enraged conservatives: Ted Cruz, for instance, ranted about Roberts’ quote “political gamesmanship,” endquote. But before we get too hopeful, it’s useful to look at why Roberts made the decision he did. Sure, he sided with the liberals on this one case, but not really for altruistic reasons. The law in question was almost identical to a Texas law the Supreme Court rejected in 2016. Roberts only voted against the Louisiana law because of stare decisis -- the theory that courts should be bound by their past decisions. But what he also did was point the way that conservatives could write a more legally sound law that would get through the court, and crush abortion rights that way. This is similar to Robert’s ruling on the DACA program, which he upheld last week. He sided with the liberals, but only because the conservative case was so legally sloppy he didn’t want to rubber stamp it. In other words, Roberts is just telling the conservatives who want to do more fascism toward immigrants and women that they need to do their homework and get back to him. For now, abortion clinics in Louisiana are safe, relatively speaking. But if the courts stay in Roberts’ hands, it’s only a matter of time before the conservatives come for them again. Kentucky Primary Too Close to Call Elections aren’t one-night affairs anymore, and Kentucky’s Democratic Senate Primary has lasted a whole week. The race, between progressive Charles Booker and the former fighter-pilot, Democratic establishment darling Amy McGrath, is way, way closer than anyone thought it would be. A few months ago, it looked like McGrath had the whole thing locked up, with a massive campaign warchest and the endorsement of pretty much everyone who’s anyone in the Democratic old guard. But with just weeks to go before the election, Booker started surging, as people realized there wasn’t much to Amy besides a fat wallet of DNC cash. Booker, meanwhile, stepped up during the nationwide protests against police brutality and continued to push his progressive, medicare-for-all and universal basic income platform. Now, the two are neck and neck. As of early Tuesday morning, McGrath is up by under 3,000 votes, and there’s still a ton of absentee ballots to count. Booker has been crushing it in in-person voting, but the worry is that some of the mail-in ballots were cast before he got his big surge in momentum. Most of the absentees that are still out are from Fayette and Jefferson Counties, the state’s most populous areas. The county election boards are expected to convene early Tuesday morning to tally up final results, which should be announced sometime in the late morning today, but could very well get pushed to the afternoon. You know how these things go. I’m sure we’ll be discussing it on the full show this afternoon. AND NOW FOR SOME QUICKER QUICKIES: China passed a sweeping, controversial new law that gave the mainland government a massive amount of power to crack down on dissent in Hong Kong, a move which is almost certain to enflame the massive protest movement there. This would be a huge change for Hong Kong, which until now has largely existed with civil liberties the heavily repressive Chinese government denies the rest of its people. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city council appear to have agreed on a budget that sort-of-not-really cuts $1 billion from the NYPD’s budget. Activists warn though that the bill is mostly a load of B.S. aimed at shuffling money around, and not actually defunding the department. Elsewhere in out-of-control police, Aurora, Colorado’s local CBS outlet reports that at least three Aurora Police officers are under investigation for taking inappropriate, disrespectful photos after violently breaking up a peaceful vigil for Elijay McClain, a young man who was killed by the same department last year. Officers reportedly re-enacted the chokehold that killed him. And lastly, big pharma continues to take lives for money, as Gilead Sciences announced an absurd price of around $520 per dose of a new coronavirus treatment drug. Advocates claim the drug could be produced for as little as $1 a dose, but you can’t tell that to the capitalists in charge of healthcare in this country.

We’re back in record territory when it comes to new COVID-19 cases. New cases are rising in 27 states with Texas, California, Arizona, and Florida showing some the most alarming increases. The enormous Texas Medical Center in Houston reached 100% capacity yesterday. The CDC now says that more than 20 million Americans could have contracted the virus - 10 times more than the official counts.  Unlike the initial explosion of COVID-19 cases that saw older Americans accounting for most cases, younger people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s The Voice of America is now Trump Radio.  Jamaal Bowman ousts Warhawk, Eliot Engle, in the Democratic Party Primary in New York’s 16th district which spans parts of the Bronx and Westchester County. Bowman won the nomination by 25 points.  In another huge exclamation point in growing progressive power in the Democratic Party, AOC blew out her corporate-backed challenger in New York’s 14th district by 51 points. 70% v. Michelle Caruso-Cabrera’s 19%. AOC took to Twitter following her victory to say: “Wall Street CEOs, from Goldman Sachs to Blackstone, poured in millions to defeat our grassroots campaign tonight. But their money couldn’t buy a movement. Thank you #NY14, and every person who pitched in for tonight’s victory. Here’s to speaking truth to power.” Charles Booker pulls ahead of Amy McGrath in the fight for the Democratic Party nomination to challenge Mitch McConnell in the Kentucky Senate race.  In New York’s 17th district, Mondaire Jones looks to be heading to Washington after blowing out a three-way race for the Democratic Party nomination. If his twenty-point lead holds, he’ll be one of the first openly gay black men in Congress.  Tik Tok and KPop help sink Trump’s great hope of sell-out crowds in Tulsa.  Bad news for Devin Nunes. A judge rules that he can’t sue Twitter because fake cow hurt his fufus on the platform. That’s a win for Devin Nunes’s Cow and Devin Nunes’s Mom.  There’s a giant dust cloud racing across the Atlantic.  I bet none of you had that on your 2020 bingo card? And...here we go...My Little Pony fans are kicking out the white supremacists from their fan pages. Yes. That My Little Pony.  New York Times releases a damning video that reconstructs the I-676 tear gassing and toruture the Philadelphia Police unleashed on protesters on June 1st.  The Philadelphia Police Department and the City of Philadelphia’s statements on the incident were discredited the day following the event, but the city and the police department drug their feet for 24 days before apologizing and banning the use of tear gas.  Mayor Kenney and Commissioner Outlaw were hoping that an internal investigation would have kept this in the dark.   Move over Bill De Blasio, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney still thinks his political career has any relevance.  He launched a statewide PAC that are leading many to believe that he’s gearing up for a 2022 run at the Governor’s seat.  Christopher Columbus statue in Marconi Plaza in Philly is coming down because the people defending the statue caused so much bullshit attacking black lives matter protesters that the city is removing it.  In a PA Grand Jury report released yesterday slams the PA Department of Environmental Protection for failing to protect people from the effects of fracking. The grand jury said the natural gas industry should bear the expense and risk of fracking, but the DEP “did not take sufficient action in response to the fracking boom.”  PA Stands Up held its 5th The Crisis and The Opportunity Virtual Forum last night featuring Shanna Danielson, Nikil Saval, Summer Lee, Elizabeth Fiedler, and Sara Innamorato. I got to listen in to most of the discussion. It was a great space and you can watch the recording at PA Stands Up Facebook page.   The State Senate passed on Wednesday a major plan that clears the way for the restructuring of the PA State System of Higher Education. The plan will give more power to the Board of Governors and the Chancellor to consolidate schools, eliminate programs, turn existing schools into branch campuses, create new schools, and share administrative services. And speaking of PASSHE, the state-owned universities are rolling out their “return-to-campus plans” this week. Kutztown University’s COVID-19 Public Relations campaign - I mean “Fall 2020 Planning COVID-19 Response” plan - is just loaded with goodies. Students will be required to come up with their own “Safety Plan;” students working in dorms as Community Assistants will now be responsible for the “emotional wellbeing, physical health, and social support,” of students living in their newly establish “KU Family Pod Area” (can’t make this shit up); students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to report suspicious COVID-like behavior to the administration; and, the university will use the pandemic as cover to increase the use of online teaching “even after the current COVID-19 crisis has abated.”  NASA names its headquarters after Mary Jackson, the first black woman engineer. You might remember her as one the three leads in the film Hidden Figures.  I’m on to the second book in Octavia Butler’s Earthseed series: The Parable of the Talents, published in 1998. It was more than freaky that Parable of the Talents takes place during the rise of a right-wing zealot - Senator Jarret from Texas - who whips up racism and promise to “make America great again.” I mean...those exact words.  It was Father’s Day this past weekend which means I got a chance to sample some awesome beer. The highlights from Free Will included the AMAZING Wild Blueberry Cobbler Mash and of course one of my favorites, Safeword.  Free Will also came out with a new release this week: Walk Awhile With Me - English style Pub Ale brewed with a base of Maris Otter and a bit of Crystal malt, hopped with Golding and Chinook. Notes of crispy toffee, biscuit, and herbs of the earth. 4.2% ABV I was also gifted two crowler’s from McAllister Brewing Company based in North Wales - Mandated Introvert, an “IPA Sour” and Shovel Buddy, a really nice New England IPA.

Georgia Davis Powers learned early life that to make changes you must be empowered. Powers served for 21 years as a member of the state Senate in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. When elected in 1967, she became the first person of color and the first woman elected to the Kentucky State Senate. During her time in the Senate, Powers sponsored bills prohibiting employment discrimination, sex and age discrimination, in addition to introducing statewide fair housing legislation. Even as an elected official, she was not able to get a room in a hotel in segregated Frankfort. She also supported legislation to improve education for the physically and mentally disabled. Powers served as secretary of the Democratic caucus from 1968 to 1988. She chaired two legislative committees: Health and Welfare (1970–76) and Labor and Industry (1978–88). After she retired from her seat in the Kentucky Senate in 1988, she remained committed to the continuing fight for equal rights and human dignity. In 1990, Powers created the Friends of Nursing Home Residents (FONHRI) to organize faith-based volunteerism in the Louisville area to serve as visitors to the local nursing homes. She also incorporated in 1994 an organization called QUEST (Quality Education for All Students) to monitor the work of the Jefferson County school board to halt the return to segregated schools.

Cunningham went from helping with voter registration to taking part in the nonviolent direct action, picketing a Louisville theater on behalf of black students who wanted to see “Porgy & Bess.” He later recruited other young activists, and together they picketed local lunch counters where African-Americans weren’t served. His civil rights work continued as a student at Howard University. Cunningham served on U.S. Senator Walter Huddleston’s staff, working on issues that included civil rights legislation and the Martin Luther King Holiday Bill. Returning home to Louisville, Cunningham served as manager for Georgia Davis Power’s successful Kentucky Senate campaign. Cunningham is the winner of the 2006 Martin Luther King Freedom Award.

The full quote, as heard on the Chicago police radio, is "Black lives matter, my ass! Fucking Niggers!" Another unarmed black man, Peter Gaines, 28, was killed last Saturday. Why? Because black lives don't matter to the police. The Manhattan US Attorney's office says they won't bother to convene a grand jury to investigate the shooting death of Ramarley Graham. The cop's actions were "justifited". Why? Because black lives don't matter to the police. A pregnant Native woman, Jacqueline Salyers, a 33 yr old mother of four, was shot dead by police in Tacoma, WA on January 28. They didn't bother tell her family about the baby until after the burial. Why? Because Native lives don't matter to the police. A federal jury in San Francisco says that the officers did not use excessive force when they shot Alex Nieto 59 times while he walked in a park. Why? Because Latino lives don't matter to the police. At all of the Trump rallies, the police are being filmed arresting the black victims of crowd violence, throwing black protestors out of rallies, and refusing peaceful ticketholders from attending. In one widely publicized incident, a white man sucker-punched a black man in the face who was being escorted out of the arena by police. The officers arrested the black victim, and the white attacker wasn't charged until social media put up a stink about it. Why? Because black lives don't matter to the police. A Kentucky Senate committee has just passed a bill that allows discrimination against interracial couples, same sex couples, and couple of different faiths.
