    Author Harriet Washington on the Illusion of Medical Consent Feb 24, 2021
    Show notes

    Harriet Washington is an award-winning author and bioethicist, and in her new book (out now), “Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent,” she takes on the assumption that we can’t and won’t be involved in medical research without our consent. The most current and well-known example is the story of Elijah McClain, who, after being wrongfully detained by police, was given ketamine as part of a non-consensual research study and it resulted in his death. Harriet digs into that research, the legislation that upholds these unethical practices, and why healthcare lobbyists need to go if we want to confront the problem.

    Dreisen Heath of Human Rights Watch on Reparations and H.R. 40 Feb 23, 2021
    Show notes

    Dreisen Heath, a Researcher with Human Rights Watch, gave a memorable testimony at last week’s hearing on H.R. 40, which would create a commission on slavery reparations. In today’s episode she talks with Mark about her hopes for the future of H.R. 40 and seeing it leave the House for the first time in history (it’s been languishing there for decades). She also explains how the old arguments against reparations are now serving as a necessary reminder of why they are needed more than ever, and what the remaining threats against the bill are. And if we need help, is there international support?

    HBCUs Part Three: Howard U Basketball Coach Kenneth Blakeney Feb 19, 2021
    Show notes

    Athletics are an integral part of HBCU life, and today Mark is joined by Howard University men’s basketball coach Kenneth Blakeney, who knows the challenges and the rewards all too well. He reflects on the importance of sustaining HBCU athletic programs and why Howard is looking for someone who brings more than athletic ability to the table. Coach Blakeney successfully recruited a 5-star center in Makur Maker to Howard over the Power 5 Conferences. The two discuss why African Americans often make up the majority of many athletic teams, but there are less than 5-percent of Black students at those same colleges and universities. They also share some memories of Coach John Thompson, and discuss the hard decisions a coach must make to protect and foster the growth of student athletes.

    Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos and Civiqs for #ThursdayKos Feb 18, 2021
    Show notes

    Following Rush Limbaugh's death, the news coverage seemed to forget his legacy of racism, lies, and hatred, and went ahead and called him "controversial" instead. But Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos, Civiqs, and podcast "The Brief" doesn't care to look back on anything but the facts of what Limbaugh left behind. Markos also talks the Trump/McConnell tangle, Tucker Carlson scraping the bottom of the barrel for Biden dirt, and why he's got his eye on Senator Joe Manchin.
