How America's Workers Win! Sep 01, 2022

Show notes

Our nation's middle class was built by workers' ability to unionize and gain better pay and treatment for themselves through collective bargaining. Yet, throughout the decades we have allowed Republicans to demonize our unions and take up instead for CEOs and shareholders. What they didn't bargain on however is that workers--thanks to compounded crises have had enough and see their value outside of how much they can produce. On this episode of democracyish, Wajahat and Danielle are joined by Kim Kelly, author of the book Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor.

A Coup in Black Robes Aug 25, 2022

Show notes

America wanted to believe that once the Capitol Building was pieced back together following Trump's insurrection that the coup to overthrow our democracy was over. What we didn't anticipate as a nation is that what we saw on January 6th was just the dress rehearsal for the right-wing extremist SCOTUS. They have picked up where Trump's foot soldiers left off. From state courts to the SCOTUS, Badass author, writer and podcaster Dahlia Lithwick breaks down what Democrats should have seen coming decades ago but chose to ignore. Everything and we mean everything rests on the courts. This and much more on the next democracyish with Danielle and Wajahat!

If Only America Listened to Women Aug 18, 2022

Show notes

Before Donald Trump became president writer Julia Ioffe wrote a piece about Melania Trump that Melania didn't like and for that crime she received unprecedented amounts of anti- Semitic hate, death threats and more. She tried to warn America and the media about what was to come but no one listened. Danielle and Wajahat go behind the curtain of media and politics to ask: Has anyone in media learned their lesson?!?
