6.28.2024 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Right wing SCOTUS rulings, Dems fret over Biden, Kamala Harris hits Trump HARD The Supreme Court released several decisions today, from criminalizing the unhoused to limiting the power of prosecutors to pursuing obstruction charges against Jan. 6th rioters to making it more difficult for federal agencies to issue rules.  We'll break down the implications of each of these rulings.  Two former Texas jailers are indicted for murdering Anthony Johnson Jr.  We'll talk to the Johnson family attorney about the latest developments in this case.  It's the tale of two Joes. Biden was in North Carolina today, and he was more fiery than he was at Thursday night's debate.  And we'll find out about Biden's economic plan for the rest of 2024 from Hillary Holley, the Executive Director of Care in Action, who was in a meeting on Capitol Hill today.  #BlackStarNetwork partners:Fanbase

Holder, the Supreme Court decision that significantly weakened the 1965 Voting Rights Act. We'll look at what lawmakers had to say and talk to Melanie Campbell, the President and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, about the holdup in passing the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. The Supreme Court says it's not a crime for state and local offices to take gifts valued at more than $5,000 from donors who benefitted from an official's efforts.  New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman loses his re-election bid. A Georiga judge gets removed from the bench after alleged assaulting a police officer.  Louisville, Kentucky's first black female police chief resigns after mishandling a sexual harassment claim.  NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith says Reggie Jackson's recent comments are proof that DEI programs are needed.

The Poor People's Campaign is demanding that the 140 million poor and low-income people in our nation " from every race, creed, color, sexuality and place " are no longer ignored, dismissed or pushed to the margins of this country's political and social agenda. The economic and social costs of poverty and the injustices of systemic racism, militarism and ecological devastation are unsustainable. The United States has the wealth to end these interlocking injustices, so why isn't ending poverty a priority for policy makers? Why can millions be found for war and occupation but not extend a program that lifted millions of children out of poverty? The welfare rights movement encouraged Dr. Martin Luther King to focus on poverty and months before his assassination Dr. King called for the first Poor People's Campaign. By the time he called for the Poor People's Campaign Dr. King had evolved far beyond focusing solely on civil rights, to campaigning against the inter-locking injustices of racism, poverty and war. Four years ago, growing out of the Moral Mondays Movement that took hold in the South of the US, Rev William Barber the II and Rev Liz Theoharis, a multiracial team restarted the Poor Peoples' Campaign. Their focus is what is referred to by the PPC as the pillars of evil, the interlocking injustices: racism, poverty, the war economy, ecological devastation and the nations twisted moral narrative. Since then they have grown into a massive movement with bases in 43 states across the U.S. In 2022 that movement came together in Washington DC for a Poor People's & Low-Wage Workers' Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls.

We focus on the militant, rank-and-file wing of the labor movement which gathered in Chicago this weekend for the annual “Troublemakers” conference sponsored by Labor Notes Magazine. The conference was packed with 4,000 attendees the largest ever in the history of the event. What new plans were hatched, strategies debated and discussed and relationships formed that could blossom into future organizing efforts? New York-based union organizers Wen Zhuang and Eric Dirnbach of the Emergency Workers Organizing Committee, who were both present, give us a feel for the energizing weekend. The 53rd annual NYC Pride March will be held this Sunday starting at 12 Noon. Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to line the parade Route which begins at 25th Street and 5th Avenue next and makes its way to 16th Street and 5th Avenue. It will be the first full-scale Pride March held since the Pandemic began. Also on Sunday will be the 4th annual Queer Liberation March which promotes itself as a “cop and corporate free” alternative to the traditional Pride March that honors the radical spirit of the 1969 Stonewall Stonewall Uprising, which pride commemorates. Jay Walker, a founding member of the Reclaim Pride Coalition which organizes the Queer Liberation March, joins us on the air. Indypendent Editor in Chief John Tarleton has been closely following some of the latest developments in the first round of Democratic primaries, which will be held on June 28 for all statewide offices and state assembly seats. Early voting is already underway. Tarleton speaks about progressive and socialist candidates that are challenging machine Democrats in a number of key races.
