Description

Democrats concede nothing without a demand. Political strategist Alicia Garza joins Francesca to discuss how social movements need to rethink their relationship to the Democratic Party. Plus one year after the Capitol riots, what’s been done to root out white supremacist extremism? Can it actually be done by the likes of the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security? And comedian and labor organizer Nato Green on how soothing it is to imagine Trump no longer alive, and Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot making teachers unions the enemy. Plus, the podcast’s first edition of The Cringey Awards. This week’s nominees: Nancy Pelosi for asking the cast of Hamilton to perform in honor of January 6th, Candace Owens calling herself an elite who can skirt vaccine requirements, and Ted Cruz for handing his nuts gift wrapped to Tucker Carlson. Finally a *BONUS BISH* for Patrons of the podcast all about Liz and Dick Cheney, who're trying to save the GOP from Trump. Is their cause valiant or should the war crimes boss family sit down and be humble?
