    Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos and Civiqs Jun 17, 2021
    Show notes

    It’s #ThursdayKos and Markos Moulitsas, Founder of DailyKos and Civiqs, is back with a discussion on the takeaways from Biden’s meeting with Putin. On the topic of Senator Joe Manchin, Mark shares some of what he learned on the ground from locals while attending the March on Manchin, and voting rights are on their minds. Markos fills us in on the key details from Manchin’s proposed legislation on voting rights--his alternative to the For the People Act--and he’d also like to know what Manchin intends to do when Republicans use the filibuster against him. And by the way...what’s up with Kyrsten Sinema? Turns out there are more questions than answers with the incomprehensible senator from the increasingly-blue Arizona.

    March on Manchin Jun 15, 2021
    Show notes

    Yesterday, Mark was on the ground in West Virginia, led by Rev. Dr. William Barber and Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis of the Poor People’s Campaign, to march on the office of Senator Joe Manchin following his hypocrisy and lack of support for voting rights and access. Mark speaks with his constituents who are angry with the man they elected for failing to follow through on promises and support their basic civil rights. Tension was in the air as Manchin’s staff attempted to placate the crowd with comment cards, but the people who showed up to march were not having it. Today you’ll hear Mark talking to the people as well as march leaders Rev. Barber and Rev. Liz Theoharris, and tomorrow we have exclusive interviews to expand on the discussion of Senator Joe Manchin’s obstruction to voting rights.

    Eric Boehlert of Pressrun.media Jun 14, 2021
    Show notes

    The press coverage of Vice President Kamala Harris’s first trip overseas has been largely negative, which comes as no surprise to Eric Boehlert, Writer and Publisher of Pressrun.media. Not surprising but no less disappointing that they’re framing it as a failure without considering the larger picture, which he explains in today’s episode, and notes that it’s largely based on racism and sexism. This is all part of the press trying to drum up drama within the Biden administration, after they were spoiled for years with the chaos of Donald Trump’s tumult and intrigue.

    DeRay McKesson of Black Lives Matter Jun 11, 2021
    Show notes

    DeRay McKesson is an activist, organizer, former teacher, podcast host (Pod Save the People) and leading voice in the Black Lives Matter movement. In today’s episode, DeRay hits us with the data on police murdering civilians, and helps us understand what is actually collected and tracked--and, perhaps more importantly, what isn’t. DeRay also draws an undeniable connection between police and prison reform, explaining how it’s a disservice to discuss the former without the latter. *Producer's Note: this conversation was recorded in March 2020 Photo Credit: www.deray.com Executive Producer: Adell Coleman Producer: Brittany Temple Distributor: DCP Entertainment For additional content: makeitplain.com

    Markos Moulitsas of DailyKos and Civiqs Jun 10, 2021
    Show notes

    Senator Joe Manchin met with civil rights leaders to discuss the voting rights bill, but he remains opposed (despite the fact that he initially co-signed it). Markos Moulitsas, Founder of DailyKos and Civiqs and host of podcast “The Brief,” attempts to unpack Manchin’s recent hypocrisies. Markos also gets into the Wuhan lab leak and Biden’s call for an investigation, but ultimately points out how the virus’s origin doesn’t mean anything in the context of how Trump mishandled its outbreak in the U.S. and failed to protect Americans. And we finish off with some thoughts on Rep. Val Demings running against Marco Rubio for a Florida senate seat.
