Today is a bit of a bummer if equality is a thing that you’re into (and hopefully you are), but the recent decisions by the supreme court might have you questioning if equality is a thing that America is actually into. 

So we talk with Haydenville’s proverbial canary in our democracy coalmine, author and former editor at Slate Magazine, David Daley, who has now written two books outlining the possibility of what just happened with the recent Callais decision, to dig into the far reaching effects of the ruling both for right now, and beyond the current redistricting. 

But we have hopeful things as well. Rachel’s Table is a local organization that has made headway in local hunger for over three decades. This weekend they’re encouraging the community to come together for their Outrun Hunger 5K event in Forest Park raising funds for their many programs and services, about which we’ll chat with ex. dir Jodi Falk. 

And Mr. Universe, Kainaat Studios’ Salman Hameed, takes a careful scientific comb to the many click-bait prone findings of recently released documents on UAPs, and how that sensationalism can affect later discoveries and more.
