S3 Ep215: Weekly Skews - 4/09/24 – ‘Zona of Interest Apr 10, 2024

Show notes

Tonight we talk about the new abortion ban just approved by Arizona’s Supreme Court…and by “new” we mean “from the Civil War Era”. The draconian law allows no exceptions for rape or incest and is, generally speaking, really bad and dumb. Also: how the media is helping Trump appear to be more moderate than he is, and much much more. Join us.

Show notes

On tonight’s episode we discuss, among many other hilariously stupid things, the right’s wholly manufactured panic about a supposed War on Easter being launched by the Biden Administration. Why? Well, a couple of different years-old policies pre-dating and having less than nothing to do with the Biden Administration, of course. Join us.
