Healthcare CEO murdered, China hacks US phones, Trump DOJ overreach, Syria debrief. 

 

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum process the recent shooting of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The response to his death by the public has been callous, at times even celebratory. Our hosts dig into the reasons why. 

 

We’ve launched Stories from the Ground on nativelandpod.com, a place for you to share news and events with our NLP fam. Check it out! 

 

The Inspector General for the Department of Justice announced that Trump’s DOJ collected the phone records of members of Congress. We’ll get into what the report says and why it matters. 

 

More reasons to be careful around your phone: Federal Authorities have warned U.S. citizens about an ongoing Chinese hacking campaign. The hackers are harvesting metadata from major telecom providers (AT&T, Verizon, etc). What exactly are they collecting and what can we do? 

 

And finally, a debrief on the historic events unfolding in Syria. Syria’s 13-year civil war is over?? 

 

And of course we’ll hear from you! If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/
