Description

In a historic election on Tuesday, Lori Lightfoot became Chicago’s first black woman and openly gay person elected mayor, but not everyone in the community is celebrating. Julio and guest co-host All-Star Jamilah King discuss this, plus the media rhetoric around Puerto Rico and how Nipsey Hussle’s murder marked a tragic moment in hip-hop.

  ITT Staff Picks:
- This in-depth look at Lori Lightfoot’s life and career, from the Chicago Tribune.
- Watch our very own Julio Ricardo Varela on Cheddar talking about colonialism and Trump's anti-Puerto Rico comments.
- Fans created stunning artwork to honor Nipsey Hussle’s impact and legacy after his murder, via BuzzFeed.
