Show Notes
President Donald Trump deployed California National Guard troops to Los Angeles on Sunday, following demonstrations over the weekend protesting the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. The decision was made without California Governor Gavin Newsom’s approval, and the state is now suing the “illegal and immoral” move. We get into all the potential ramifications of the uptick in immigration raids. Then, we discuss how people in other countries have coped with anti-democratic forces in their own communities. Finally, we smile at the original cast of “Hamilton” reuniting for the musical’s 10-year anniversary.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “The Beautiful Danger of Normal Life During an Autocratic Rise” from The New York Times
- “The 78th Annual Tony Awards® | Hamilton 10 Year Anniversary Performance” from CBS
- “The original cast of ‘Hamilton’ reunites on the Tonys stage with rousing performance” from CNN
- “When to see June’s full strawberry moon on Tuesday night” from The Washington Post
