This week on The Audaci-Tea Podcast, your hosts Lisa, Sovereign, and Gwen take an extended Tea Time to unpack the increasingly volatile political climate in the United States. From ICE raids and the militarization of Los Angeles to the targeting of marginalized communities and protesters, we’re breaking down the signs of authoritarianism and reminding our listeners why No Kings means no man rules over a free people.
Later, we dig into the importance of intersectionality in modern feminism, discuss how assimilation and white feminism leave too many women behind, and spotlight how real solidarity across marginalized groups is the key to survival in a patriarchal society. Finally, we review the Anna Kendrick-directed thriller Woman of the Hour and explore how it both reflects and details the real-life dangers of male privilege and violence against women.
🎧 This episode is your reminder: We don't do kings in America. No one is above the law, no group is disposable, and your voice matters. If you’re waiting for someone else to act, you’re already too late.
🎙️ Topics Discussed:
* The rise of fascism and the myth of American exceptionalism
* ICE raids, immigrant scapegoating, and due process
* Why intersectionality matters in modern feminism
* Political violence against marginalized communities
* Film review: Woman of the Hour and male entitlement
