Description

We discuss the president's choice to declare a national emergency and what that looks like in the context of past emergencies. During Compliment the Other Side, Beth praises Mama Bears who are welcoming LGBTQ children into their communities and cautions about discriminatory legislation cropping up in state legislatures; Sarah is excited to see Republican Bill Weld considering a primary challenge to President Trump.  In our main segment, we break down the proposed Green New Deal and our different perspectives on it. Outside of politics, we're talking The Umbrella Academy on Netflix, reusable paper towels, and makeup.  Recommended Resources: They Call Themselves Mama Bears. Churches that Mess with their LGBTQ Kids Should Listen Up. The Green New Deal Is a Bad Idea, Not Just a Botched Rollout Resusable Paper Towels We are so thankful to our wonderful patrons who support the show.
