Maria and Julio are joined by two In The Thick All Star guests, Wajahat Ali, TV host and contributor to The New York Times, and Christina Greer, professor at Fordham University and fellow at NYU's McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research. They catch up on the weekend's news: the power of youth at the March For Our Lives demonstrations and the Stormy Daniels 60 Minutes interview. The convo also digs into the recent package bombings in Austin and how race is framed in the national conversation about ideological violence. How do the media and authorities approach an act of violence when a suspect or victim is white, as opposed to when the suspect or victim is a person of color and/or Muslim?

Winter is ending... we think. Julio and Maria do a little spring cleaning and dig into some of the latest news with Terrell Jermaine Starr, senior reporter at The Root, and Justine Calma, fellow at Grist and The Investigative Fund with The Nation Institute. It's been six months since Hurricane Maria struck Puerto Rico, so we discuss where the recovery stands, the federal response (or lack of) and the badass Boricua women helping to rebuild the island. We also talk about what to make of the latest Trump saga, including the Russia investigation and of course, Stormy Daniels. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Julio and Maria kick back this Friday and catch up on the week's news—from the Pennsylvania special election in a disappearing congressional district to the power of youth walking out of school to protest gun violence. They also chat about courageous women of color, like undocumented immigration activist Maru Mora-Villalpando, who filed a complaint against ICE and Lizbeth Mateo, an attorney and Dream 9 OG who became the first undocumented immigrant appointed to a statewide post in California. And they discuss the tragic assassination of Marielle Franco, a Rio de Janeiro councilwoman.

Boston is known as a progressive city, but it's also notorious for being one of the most racist cities in the United States. Julio, who's lived in Boston for over 30 years, breaks it down with former mayoral candidate Tito Jackson, Boston Globe reporter Nicole Dungca and artist/activist Eroc Arroyo-Montano. How has Boston's racism impacted the city's POC community—from healthcare to the Red Sox? But before we get into that conversation, Maria and Julio discuss the latest news: Rex Tillerson getting fired by President Trump and Russia, Russia, Russia.

It's our 100th episode (thank you!) and Maria is reporting around the country for the next few weeks so we ask, "Where is Maria?" before we finally discuss topics you have told us to do for a while now: gerrymandering and other forms of limiting the power to vote. Julio talks with David Daley, senior fellow for FairVote and the author of "Ratfucked: The True Story Behind the Secret Plan to Steal America's Democracy" and Desmond Meade, executive director of the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition and chair of Floridians for a Fair Democracy, about how communities of color can be better represented electorally.
