Deep & Heavy episode of #Amicus #podcast #DahliaLithwick @Dahlialith

“In the first of Amicus’ summer series of conversations about books and podcasts that have helped us look at the Supreme Court from a different angle, Dahlia Lithwick is joined by #JoelAnderson, host of Season 8 of Slate’s #SlowBurn podcast: #BecomingJusticeThomas. They talk about the experiences and people who helped shape Justice Thomas’ worldview and how deeply his jurisprudence is rooted in a kind of “cruel to be kind” ethos from his childhood. And why he was so blind to the challenges and suffering of so many Black women in his life. 
Next, Dahlia talks to #HeatherMcGhee, Author #TheSumofUs: WHAT RACISM COSTS EVERYONE AND HOW WE CAN PROSPER TOGETHER, about her books and podcast, and what they can teach us about a Supreme Court that is inclined to frame the world as zero-sum.”

Another great discussion, this time about solutions to the problem of violent police interactions.

It's absurd how much money we spend on police and not on other ways to enforce the laws that would be CHEAPER, too!

Cops don't want to enforce traffic laws. They don't want to be mental health professionals. They don't want to punish people for being poor. Most want to help people. But 911 only has one resource for non medical issues: cops.
