What's In The News? Mini #400!

*Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of violence against Black women. Please listen with discretion. Can you BELIEVE there's been FOUR HUNDRED mini episodes of Your Angry Neighborhood Feminist?! Woah! This week, Madigan gives you the horrendous story of Tasia Fortune, a Black woman found hanging from a tree in Mississippi, and how recent studies on lynching reflect a more modern definition of these killings. Then, there's some Trump news, including his stealthy plane switch, leaving numerous members of staff potentially in harms way, and how press secretary Karoline Leavitt is leaving her position. Lastly, the news that Russian athletes have been allowed back into the International Olympic Committee, and the International Skating Union, really riled Madigan up.
