Alicia Garza welcomes Trevor Aaronson,  investigative journalist and the creator, reporter, and host of the podcast Alphabet Boys. Aaronson lays out the case that the government secretly undermined the Black Lives Matter movement in the summer of 2020, and he has the receipts to prove it!

Alicia’s roundup focuses on the Tusla survivors' claims for reparations dismissed, and Ajike Owens killer undercharged in Florida. 

The week wasn’t all bad, with Keke Palmer’s roommate, who eff’d around and found out. Plus, social media gets a much needed upgrade with Threads and Spill.

Lady’s Love Notes is back with a topic that Lady promised you a little while back: What to do if and when an ex tries to come back into your life.
