Death Penalty for Birth Control? Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

A deadly serious group of powerful men are fighting to make birth control a death penalty offense.

Are GOP Governors Killing Their Citizens to Protect Billionaires? Jul 23, 2023

Show notes

Rightwing billionaires (who pay an average income tax of 3.4 percent) think the world is made up of “makers” and “takers." They see us voters as an impediment to their oligarchic plans, so every Red state in the country is working today to make it harder to vote and, since five Republicans on the Supreme Court legalized it in 2018, they’re also working to throw people in largely Democratic precincts off the voter rolls in massive purges.

Are “Election Police” & Black People in Shackles Coming to All Red States Everywhere? Jul 22, 2023

Show notes

Without free and fair elections and widespread voter participation, you can’t have a functioning democratic republic. Republicans know this: that’s why they’re trying to end free and fair elections. Also a black man was elected mayor in rural Alabama, but the white town leaders REFUSE to let him serve…WTF??

Can America be Both Democratic & Fully Integrated? Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

The GOP is exploiting the structures in our brains that are rooted deep in our DNA, the wiring that says, “I must protect 'us' from 'them,'” the wiring that kept humans tribal for 300 millennia. So how can Progressives bring America together instead?
