January 6: The New Normal Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

The attack on our democracy didn't end on 1/6/21 it was just the beginning.

Democracy In Name Only? Danielle Moodie and the newly minted co-host of Democracy-ish, Wajahat Ali, discuss.

The Empire Strikes Back! Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

It's hard to believe 2021 is almost a wrap and what a year it has been. We began with an insurrection, dealt with two new COVID-19 variants, high profile trials of white supremacists, mass shootings and more historic climate events than can be counted. What will 2022 have in store?!? Something good?! Or at least not so terrible?!? Inshallah! All this and more on the last episode of #democracyish for 2021. See y'all in 2022!

Text Mess! Dec 16, 2021

Show notes

The 1/6 Commission hit a mother load this week in the thousand page document dump by former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Inside this treasure trove were damning texts by Fox hosts, Republican Members of Congress and Trump's own son--begging for help on 1/6. The question remains though--with all this evidence within our grasps will those complicit in the attempt to overthrow our government continue to evade accountability or has their time finally come?

The Rise of White Extremism Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

The most recent school shooting in Michigan at the hands of Ethan Crumbly should be an alarm. His parents are Trumpers through and through who wrote the former disgraced president a letter honoring him and the 2nd amendment. Ethan also journaled his rage and no one paid attention. So, now we are here. Are we prepared for a society filled with armed, white, rage filled teens?!? This and more on the next democracyish with our guest host Wajahat Ali

Reclamation of Whiteness Dec 02, 2021

Show notes

Roe is dead, voting rights is on life support and we just experienced our 28th school shooting this school year and it's only December. 53% of white women voting for a misogynistic racist is how we got to our current moment of despair and the Republicans time of triumph.

America's Backslide Nov 25, 2021

Show notes

For the first time ever the United States has been listed among backsliding democracies. The organization IDEA is sounding the alarm on what they see as visible deterioration, but will Americans heed the warning or will our arrogance and apathy get the best of us?!?

America's on Trial Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

During the 2020 uprising many speculated that this was going to be the moment America's deeply entwined relationship to white supremacy would shift and yet a year later as we watch the trials of Kyle Rittenhouse and the McDaniels's unfold we are getting a front row seat to America's real addiction--holding space for white rage.
