Over Token Majority™

Your Rights, Your Legal Resource. The law is complicated and messy—often unnecessarily so. And yet, laws impact our everyday lives in profound ways. The word “person” in our Constitution does not and historically has not included every human being in our country and, yet, it is a central underpinning of our society. Similarly, a variety of other laws affecting our rights have not been designed to protect everyone equally. In fact, our systems—shaped by white supremacy, patriarchy, and other structural forms of oppression—have often worked against the welfare and safety of the people in our communities. As a diverse group of attorneys practicing personal injury and civil rights law, we created this podcast as a resource to help us all better understand the law and how to use it to protect our rights. We hope to share our insights from a place of compassion, understanding, and a little humor.

The text message that took LinkedIn by storm

In this episode, Melanie and Ruby cover the text message taking LinkedIn by storm and ask should the partner have been fired for accusing an associate returning from maternity leave of collecting “a salary from the firm while sitting on your ass?” Does switching jobs after maternity leave make a person “soul-less and morally bankrupt”?

Jeffrey Dahmer's Untold Civil Lawsuits - Part One

In this episode of the Token Majority, Melanie and Ruby take on True Crime and Netflix’s new series Dahmer – Monster: the Jeffrey Dahmer Story. After 14-year-old Konerak Sinthasomphone escaped from Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment on May 27, 1991, the police received multiple phone calls from concerned neighbors who believed he was a minor (true) who was being abused (true). The police escorted the boy back to Dahmer’s apartment, where he was killed 30 minutes later. Dahmer went on to kill four more men before being caught on July 22, 1991. Several families, including Sinthasomphone’s, filed claims against the responding police officers and the City of Milwaukee for wrongful death. All were dismissed by the trial court, but one settled for $850,000.00. Melanie and Ruby discuss why the cases shook out the way they did and share other details about the untold civil lawsuits filed by Jeffrey Dahmer’s victims and their families. This is part one of a two-part series about Jeffrey Dahmer.
