Texas: Just Grab Your Racial Sharpie and Redraw Your OWN Color Lines

Texas: Just Grab Your Racial Sharpie and Redraw Your OWN Color Lines

John discusses Trump telling Texas Republicans to redraw their state congressional districts and make it so 5 Democratic seats vanish into a gerrymandered abyss. He also talks about House Republicans continuing to block efforts by democrats to force the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Then, he speaks with Professor Corey Brettschneider and they analyze the Trump administration’s latest alarming moves, including mass firings at critical federal agencies like Education and State, and Trump's controversial threats to remove the Federal Reserve Chair. And finally, he interviews Cristina Jiménez. She's an award-winning community organizer and a leading voice in movements for social justice. She is Co-Founder and former Executive Director of United We Dream, the largest immigrant youth-led organization in the country. She came to the U.S from Ecuador in 1998 and grew up undocumented in Queens, N.Y. Cristina is a veteran organizer who helped lead the fight for DACA and resist family separation. Her new book, Dreaming of Home, was called “part memoir, part guide for community organizing” by The Washington Post.
