This week on CounterSpin: the big story continues to be the historic public demonstrations against police racism and violence. There is a lot of learning going on. Hopefully some of what's being learned is how much overpolicing and violent policing have to do with the so-called war on drugs, which serves as a pretext for much of the harassment of individuals and entire communities of black and brown people. We talked about that piece of it with Maritza Perez, Director of the Office of National Affairs at Drug Policy Alliance.

Also on the show: As the federal and many state governments push to force a reopening of the economy—despite the fact that the coronavirus pandemic is far from under control—corporations and Senate Republicans are pushing to ensure that if anyone forced to work or live in conditions made unsafe gets sick, they have no recourse for accountability. It's just as outrageous as it sounds, and we talk about it with Remington Gregg, counsel for civil justice and consumer rights at Public Citizen.
