Fox (not news) Kills Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

We have known that Fox (not news) lies to its tens of millions of viewers each and every day, but now Rupert Murdoch admitted as much under oath in the Dominion lawsuit. Recently, discovery was released and in it Murdoch readily admits that his hosts knew the 2020Election wasn't stolen but kept going with the big lie anyway. This week Waj and Danielle go in on Fox and whether this case will finally hold them accountable for their crimes against democracy and the country at large.

Banning Black History Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

Nothing says anti-Blackness like starting Black History month with the College Board bowing to the Governor of white supremacy Ron DeSantis and removing anything of merit including Black feminism, Black queer voices, Black Lives Matter etc from the curriculum. Adding insult to injury--while DeSantis's state recovers from yet another mass shooting the Florida GOP is offering up legislation that would let everyone of legal age conceal and carry without any training all while taking the real threat off the streets--books. On this episode of #democracyish, Waj and Danielle go OFF on American fascism and ask an important question: what is the Biden administration going to do about it?!?

Show notes

Professor Kevin Kruse, author of the new book Myth America: Historians Take on the Biggest Legends and Lies About Our Past, joins #democracyish to discuss how Florida's quest to rewrite and re-white history is nothing new--white supremacists have been doing it longer than we think and before the advent of "The Southern Strategy".

Media Terrorism Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

Taylor Lorenz, internet and technology reporter and author of the upcoming book,Extremely Online, had the audacity to investigate the right-wing's media terror machine and her life and livelihood have been threatened ever since. Mainstream media continues to cower to online white nationalist terrorism leaving those seeking to do real journalism left to fend for themselves or quit the profession altogether. We dive deep on this episode about what each of us can do in our own corners of the universe to fight back. Waj and Danielle discuss this and so much more on this episode of #democracy-ish

Insurrectionist Protection Committee Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

What happens when you don't hold insurrectionists accountable for their crimes against democracy? They run for office and win. What happens when you don't convict white collar criminals that defraud millions? They head to their new grift which is always bigger and badder than the last one. There is a pattern in America of protecting the worst among us so long as they have the complexion for the protection and the coins to match. On this episode of#democracyish Waj and Danielle have a lot to get off their chests. Buckle up friends we're in for a bumpy 2023!

MAGA Comes Home to Roost Jan 05, 2023

Show notes

Happy New Year! It's 2023 and the MAGA monster has been unleashed and is now eating its own. What can you expect when you invite a monster to dinner? For 7+ years Republicans have entertained the far right fringe and now they have been mainstreamed and are running the show--into the ground. Danielle and Wajahat discuss what's in store for our democracy as Republicans run amok.
