Today on Boston Public Radio:
We began the show by asking listeners where the boundaries of protest lie, after activists followed Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema into the bathroom to protest her centrist policies.

He’s also a member of the National NAACP Board of Directors and chair of the board’s advocacy and policy committee.

John King updated listeners on all things politics, including Sinema’s centrist politics and the persisting gridlock in Congress. He also talked about Donald Trump’s political ambitions for the 2024 presidential election.

Then, we talked with listeners about whether they found meaning in postponed graduations and life-cycle events during the pandemic, or whether the moment had passed.
