"On this episode: Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen, like a lot of people in America right now, are feeling stressed and overwhelmed over what is happening in Minneapolis and across the country. Recently, the situation in Minneapolis escalated even further when federal agents shot and killed ICU nurse Alex Jeffrey Pretti. This is just the latest in a massive upheaval in the city since thousands of armed and masked Department of Homeland Security agents were sent into the city in December."
"They start the show checking in with each other about how they're all doing right now and try to help each other process these times. Lucy opens up about being an immigrant in Miami during all this, Elizabeth shares the complicated situation on military bases, and more. Later in the show, they're joined by Slate writer Shirin Ali to talk through her latest piece, " Minneapolis Is Just the Beginning " and talk through ways families can prepare in case ICE comes to their city."
