This week on CounterSpin: Police attacks on journalists covering historic, nationwide anti-police brutality protests are shocking and appalling. Will they lead reporters to back off, covering racial injustice from a safe distance? Or will they encourage them to work more deeply and consistently to amplify precisely those voices that the "forces of order," as CNN called them, so vehemently want to silence? A lot depends on which course they take, both for racial justice and for journalism. We talk with Alicia Bell, organizing manager with the group Free Press ([link removed]) .

Also on the show: It's hard not to fixate on the end of the nightmare that is the Donald Trump presidency. But we do need to remember that just as there was a lead-up to Trump, there will be a legacy—one powerful part of which will be the judicial appointments, nearly 200 so far, he has made to federal courts around the country. People For the American Way has been tracking Trump appointees and the impact they're having on issues from abortion rights to, well, police accountability. We talk about the project, Confirmed Judges, Confirmed Fears ([link removed]) , with Elliot Mincberg, senior fellow at People For the American Way.
