Summary
With COVID-19 laying bare American society's many structural issues, we discuss the idea of a national labor or rent strike, including if it is even logistically possible to organize U.S. citizens and why a mass strike might be the only option for affecting real, transformative change in America. Ryan asks Shakesha for her take on whether Rashida Jones is "black enough" to be cast as the lead in BlackAF, a question that has set Black Twitter ablaze. And on WTF, we take a start-up executive to task for patting herself on the back when she invented the lunch break.
