    It’s 2025 and Trump was just sworn in again. I am feeling despair and can’t find any podcasts about the black female experience and reaction to the political world. Come back!!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Unpacking Project 2025: For the People and the Planet
Q: What do you think the impact would be if the U.S. withdrew from international climate agreements?
Withdrawing would allow bad actors to take over the process and hinder cooperative efforts to tackle global climate issues, making it more challenging to achieve necessary emission reductions.
Unpacking Project 2025: For the People and the Planet
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about how things have evolved since you've left the White House and worked on climate issues?
Since leaving, the significant shift was the U.S. withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, which created space for other countries to step back from their commitments to decrease emissions. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. rejoined, creating a leadership role in climate action.
Unpacking Project 2025: For the People and the Planet
Q: What has been the U.S.'s attitude towards immigration and migration in recent years?
The U.S. has had a volatile issue with immigration, increasingly weaponized by political rhetoric and policies that create negative narratives and behaviors towards immigrants.
Unpacking Project 2025: Education is an Everyone Issue
Q: How do you see the landscape of education changing based on Project 2025?
Project 2025 aims to dismantle public education and concentrate funding in ways that could exacerbate inequity and segregation in schools.
Unpacking Project 2025: Education is an Everyone Issue
Q: What impacts have you seen from Project 2025 initiatives being implemented in Florida?
There is increasing apathy among the populace towards educational issues, and there are significant increases in bullying and mental health crises among students, partly due to the discriminatory policies targeting LGBTQ students.
