In The Thick

ITT Sound Off: Pandemic and the Patriarchy


Listen Later

Maria and Julio break down the pandemic, specifically the white male leadership that has dominated news cycles. They also talk about the tug-of-war between state governors and the Trump administration on when states will reopen. Finally, this week saw a cascade of high-profile endorsements for the presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, including from former competitors Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.  As schools shut and services become difficult to access, this is an especially tough time for our LGBTQ youth of color. If you’re a part of this community, and have been struggling with the idea of home or finding a safe place to shelter, we would love to hear from you. Call us to leave a voicemail on the In The Thick hotline at (505) 226-8973 or send us a voice memo via email to [email protected]. ITT Staff Picks:  - Rebecca Traister writes about how power plays between male leaders in this country have resulted in policy confusion and delayed action during the pandemic. And she’s sick of it via The Cut. - Ed Yong writes about how the fight against the coronavirus won’t end when the nation reopens via The Atlantic.  - Behind every data point and number is a name and story of the earliest victims. The Washington Post tells the stories of the people we've lost to the first wave of the pandemic in the United States.
