    I'm two episodes in and thoroughly engaged. This one's a winner right out the gate and desperately needed for those of us that need some clarity and nuance on perspectives regarding the American political landscape within this election year without the fear mongering, scapegoating, and gaslighting from both parties and their supporters. More importantly, these conversations are bound to be of great importance long after the votes are cast on Election Day and long after the next President of th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Supreme Court: Political Tool or Arbiter of Justice? Featuring Dr. Nicole Nguyen
Q: What could happen if the Supreme Court continues to function as it is?
We could see a regression in civil rights, potentially facing challenges to affirmative action, interracial marriage, and further cuts to social safety nets like health care and education.
The Supreme Court: Political Tool or Arbiter of Justice? Featuring Dr. Nicole Nguyen
Q: What do people mean when they talk about a Supreme Court legitimacy crisis?
The Supreme Court has become hyper politicized, which means its rulings reflect an exercise of political power rather than a rational interpretation of law, leading to a loss of public trust.
Fascism: Modern Threat or Facade? Featuring Alberto Toscano
Q: How can past movements, particularly Black radical traditions, teach us about confronting today's threat?
They emphasize understanding societal preconditions for fascism, enabling movements that envision a world built around autonomy and collective care rather than just reacting to fascism.
Fascism: Modern Threat or Facade? Featuring Alberto Toscano
Q: What does being anti-fascist look like, and what are the actual ways to resist fascism today?
Being anti-fascist involves engaging with abolitionist politics, focusing on grassroots activism, and addressing the societal conditions that give rise to fascism, rather than merely responding to the actions of the far-right.
The Third Way Forward. Featuring Rosa Clemente
Q: So what do you think it would take to rebuild that kind of movement?
I think we need local community organizing and focusing on grassroots efforts instead of over-reliance on electoral politics.
