After The Brew: Redistricting, Retaliation & A Question I'll Never Stop Asking

Darren forgot again — but he's here. He breaks down the redistricting fight happening across the country, what it means that Justin Jones, Justin J. Pearson, and Gloria Johnson were stripped of their committee assignments, and why Tennessee's new congressional map carving up a Black-majority district in Memphis is exactly what Jones was standing against when he burned that Confederate flag photo. Backed by PBS NewsHour's state-by-state breakdown, Darren also gets personal about the weight of covering these stories — and closes with the question he's been sitting with: how does white supremacy work to the point of hating people just for existing? He still doesn't have the answer. He never will.After The Brew, Darren Watts, Afternoon Coffee Break, redistricting, Justin Jones, Justin J.
