Black Lives Matter protest This week on CounterSpin: It's not hard to see—indeed, it's hard not to see—how the initial Minneapolis police department account ([link removed]) of George Floyd's death, “Man Dies After Medical Incident During Police Interaction,” would have been the last word were it not for intervening factors: One was the witnessing of teenager Darnella Frazier ([link removed]) —whose historical act deserves a serious responsive effort to protect and respect citizen reporters ([link removed]) , and to fight racist policing—more so than pats on the head
([link removed]) like that from the Washington Post's Margaret Sullivan about her "pure...motivations" and "moral core."

And another being the unprecedented multi-racial protests Floyd's murder kicked off. If the verdict is testament to the power of protest, so too are the vigorous efforts to squelch that power. We'll talk about that with Elly Page, legal advisor at the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law ([link removed]) and founder of their US Protest Law Tracker ([link removed]) .

Trans & GNC Youth: We Stand With You Also on the show: After the Supreme Court ruled last summer that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects workers from discrimination based on sexual orientation or transgender status, the Washington Post's Jennifer Rubin wrote ([link removed]) , "While we might be slow in getting there and are diverted time and again, Americans can eventually be prevailed upon to come down on the side of fairness, equality, inclusion and simple human decency." The notion that civil rights just expand naturally without struggle—and that justice delayed is, you know, fine—isn't serving trans kids as right-wing legislators target them at the state level. We'll hear from Christy Mallory, legal director at the Williams Institute ([link removed]) , based at UCLA School of Law.
