It’s a new day from our last “Flying Fork” episode, and now Kamala Harris is essentially the Democratic nominee for President. In this episode, Ami Chen Mills hosts a dialogue with Joy Schendledecker, Meilin Obinata and “accidental activist” Christina Johnson, who as a Black, single mother, has been battling Christo-nationalists on her children’s school board in Temecula, CA. Johnson was once a “never-Harris-er” and she has now flipped.
As progressives, how happy and excited should we be that Kamala Harris is a woman and Black and Indian woman, at that? Does identity matter and does representation matter? We also look at the case of the killing of Sonja Massey, tech support for Trump and J.D. Vance and much more.
Our early Talk of the Bay show with Ali Collins, former SF school board trustee and Christina Johnson of this show.
