Vaya Con Muñoz 1.2.21
This week our panel welcomes in the new year with our regulars, Kate Albright-Hanna, Tanisha Arena, Matt Szafranski, Dan Torres, and Nathaniel Waring. We discuss how things may or may not be different in 2021 than they were in 2020, and what our expectations are for the new year; how the pandemic will likely unfold over the coming year, and what part the government’s lack of action to support its citizens has led to the state we find ourselves in; how other countries are handling the pandemic and what we can learn from them, and how a $2000 stimulus plays into our country taking the pandemic seriously; the ROE act in Massachusetts’s passing, being vetoed, and that veto being overridden, and how the no votes may have been more complicated than simply a vote against abortion; and how the federal justice department’s handling of the tamir rice case – and other cases of police brutality against black people – has failed to bring justice to the families of the victims.
