On this Cinco de Mayo, Nicole gathers together some of the fiercest women on the net! Heather "Digby" Parton joins in to talk about how little has changed in the 23 years since the LA/Rodney King riots in relation to Baltimore today.

After charges against six Baltimore cops in the death of Freddie Gray, protests quiet. Joel Silberman joins in with his own indictment - of the media! With Bernie Sanders in the race, People for Bernie gets going. Plus the latest news, info and commentary. 

Nicole discusses her disappointment with the media's reaction to Bernie Sanders candidacy for president, including that of Jon Stewart.

And we end the week with our Flashback Fri musical blast from the past- Nicole's 1994 interview with Barenaked Ladies

Today, Bernie Sanders officially announces his run for the presidency! Nicole discusses that bit of good news along with the rest of the news of the day. The Guardian's Steven Thrasher went from the steps of the Supreme Court to the streets of Baltimore on Tuesday, and tells us about that day.
