  • That voice

    Made it ~8 minutes in before the voice reached the equivalent of a spike driven into one eardrum, across the divide, through the other, then clanking into the depths of the earth, to ring forever. Will haunt dreams. Why, why, WHY could not I have smashed my phone into dust before clicking that play button — the play button that damned my soul.

  • Informative

    I first listened to Bad with $ several years ago probably when it began as mainly financial advise. I stopped listening in 2019/2020 just when politicals and culture became so volatile and woke. I was always conservative, but not politically aware or active until the Covid nonsense and BLM/Antifa riots radicalized me in summer of 2020! I only listen to these super "woke" liberal shows to stay informed and not be stuck in an echo chamber. I do want to hear the other side to see what they're sayin... more

The ICE Surge At Delaney Hall In Newark with Tom Hudson
Q: What was your experience arriving at Delaney Hall, and what did you observe on the first day?
The first day at Delaney Hall featured peaceful protesters, a prayer group, and signs; the New Jersey State Police later arrived, set up corrals labeled as the First Amendment zone, and then used riot gear, flash bangs, and tear gas as the night escalated.
The ICE Surge At Delaney Hall In Newark with Tom Hudson
Q: Where was the first place you began covering the surge events?
The first major coverage started in DC with the surge of federal agents and National Guard, then extended to Chicago, Minneapolis, and most recently Newark during the Delaney Hall coverage.
The ICE Surge At Delaney Hall In Newark with Tom Hudson
Q: Hello and welcome to the show. Tell my audience who you are and what you do.
I'm Tom Hudson, a freelance photojournalist and documentary photographer based in Richmond, Virginia, who has spent the last year and a half documenting ICE activity and resistance movements across the country.
True Progressive Policies with State Senate Candidate Maebe A. Girl
Q: Why now California State Senate, and what can you do differently there?
Maebe argues that the district is deeply progressive and needs representation that truly matches the community, emphasizing universal healthcare, housing for all, and anti-corporate influence; she believes local government experience should translate to meaningful state-level action and that public funding of campaigns could reduce corruption and increase authentic representation.
Brutalizing The Press with Photojournalist Nick Stern
Q: What do you make of how the press has been treated over the last year?
The press has been increasingly targeted and treated with hostility, but it's essential that journalists stay present to document, protect First Amendment rights, and push for accountability even if it means facing risk.
