Description

Thousands of people held protests in at least a dozen American cities this weekend, days after the Trump administration announced it would send more federal agents to Chicago and Albuquerque in an extension of Operation Legend.
A month ago protests over the killing of George Floyd had begun to dwindle. Now, they’re back.

Plus, how the recession has made our economic divide even greater.

Also, Americans are increasingly forming social bubbles.

And, what one former marine is doing to prevent veteran suicides.
