In Part 2, we pick up where we left off in Part 1. Nato details the three times he's left his hometown of San Francisco.   The first was when he went to college, which was at Reed in Portland, Oregon, in the mid-Nineties. To get us there, Nato rattles off all of the ways that he was a "comedy head" before that was even a thing. At Reed, he met a guy who's dad was the manager of the Comedy Underground in Seattle. Nato's first time doing stand-up on stage was at the Comedy Underground, in fact.   As he describes it, to say that he bombed that first time would be an understatement. "It's the closest I've ever come to literally shitting my pants." Nato then does a rendition of his first joke that night. Audible growls are heard in our recording.   Nevertheless, he did a few more open-mics at that spot in Seattle. He liked it enough. But after graduating from college and moving back to The City, he dedicated his life to being a union organizer.   As a history student at Reed, he'd written a thesis about the anti-Chinese movement in San Francisco in the 1870s. Nato then explains how the series Warrior is based on this time in SF. There's bits in the story about the incredibly racist and anti-union human for which Kearny Street is sometimes attributed to. That thesis is what got Nato interested in doing labor work.   He resumed going to comedy shows, but not getting up on stage. Around the time he turned 30, he found himself laboring over the jokes he'd tell at all the weddings he'd go to. He was also asked to give talks at labor conferences, which doubled as canvasses for Nato to deliver more of his own comedy material.   All of these comedic sprinklings led him back to the stage. His first regular spot back in SF was the BrainWash (RIP) on Folsom Street. Once again, the jokes bombed, though his pants fared better this go-round. He offers up another telling of a joke from that era of his. You've been warned. As he left the BrainWash one of those nights, local comedy legend Tony Sparks asked him to come back the next week, and he did. Eventually, Nato invited his friends to come see him perform.   He'd moved back to San Francisco in 1997 to do union organizing, as we've mentioned. Two years before that, John Sweeney had been elected president of the AFL-CIO. Sweeney pushed to "organize the unorganized" and bring young people into the labor movement. Nato was part of this wave. He got a job at Noah's Bagels and organized a union there.   He went to anything he heard about that interested him. He and his then-girlfriend/now wife would attend talks and rallies together. Nato would sometimes find himself that only ally at, say, LGBTQIA union meetings. This was well before we even used words like "ally."   Nato was approached to organize workers at the Real Foods on 24th Street. Then the International Longshore and Warehouse Union was beginning to organize bike and car messengers in San Francisco. Nato worked as a car messenger, which he did for three years, and helped organize his coworkers. We go on a short sidebar about bike messenger culture in The City in the late-Nineties. It was huge.   A few moves from union to union here and there, and Nato found himself raising money and helping to open a low-wage workers' center for young and immigrant folks in the service industry. That center is still around today.   The second time Nato left San Francisco was in 2012. This flight took him to New York City, where he relocated to write for his friend W. Kamau Bell's first TV show, Totally Biased. As Nato puts it, he "got the chance to be a Jewish comedy writer living in Brooklyn for six months." Then, in 2018, he and his family moved to Havana, Cuba, for six months while his wife worked on her PhD research.   Nato says that the only time he was tempted to relocate permanently was during his time in NYC. His kids liked it there. They looked at different neighborhoods and even schools. But Nato wasn't all that happy in New York. The experience took a toll on his friendship with Kamau (they've since moved on and are tight once again). And then the show got canceled. The universe had spoken.   That center he'd helped to found back in San Francisco had passed the nation's first minimum-wage municipal law. In 2006, they helped pass paid sick days here in The City. Nato had left the organization just before that to join the California Nurses' Association (CNA). Through that org, he was part of the ultimately successful effort to keep St. Luke's hospital open.   It was after his time with the CNA, 2011 or so, that Nato returned to doing stand-up.   He recorded his first comedy album and went on his first comedy tour (with Kamau). In 2014, he returned to organized labor, joining Service Employees International Union (SEIU) 1021. He works there today, as head of collective bargaining.   We return to comedy and Nato lists off some more folks doing open-mics with him a decade or so ago who've moved on to various levels of fame and recognition—Ali Wong, Chris Garcia, Shang Wang, Kevin Camia, Moshe Kasher, and Brent Weinbach, to name a few.   Nato takes us on yet another sidebar, but it's a good one. It's all about the "Punchline Pipeline," the system by which local comics can test their chops for a while until they're ready (or not) to move on to bigger and better things.   It took Nato three years to work up to the level of paid host at The Punchline. Around 2006, to go back, he and Kamau started doing political comedy shows together. This was during the George W. Bush years, when "leftist," "liberal" comedy was big. Then Obama got elected and that type of comedy cooled off considerably. Nato started to host shows at The Make-Out Room monthly. He credits that stint as the time that he "figured it out."   Nato still does stand-up, though not with the intensity with which he performed in his Thirties. Today, he contributes regularly to The Bugle Podcast. He works with Francesca Fiorintini and her Bitchuation Room show. He's also trying to find time to write a book—a funny take on union organizing. And he's kicking around the idea of another comedy album, which would be his third.   Follow Nato on Instagram and Blue Sky. His two albums are available to stream or buy on BandCamp.   We end the podcast with Nato's thoughts on our theme this season: Keep It Local.   We recorded this episode at Nato's home on Bernal Hill in January 2025.   Photography by Nate Oliveira

While Democrats are looking for scapegoats to blame for their losses on election day, Donald Trump is busy making cabinet and administration appointments. When it comes to US policy on issues ranging from the climate crisis to Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, from public health policy to reproductive rights and labor rights and civil rights, from trade wars to mass deportations, one thing is clear: a lot is about to change. But between Trump's own contradictory statements and a corporate, independent, and social media ecosystem overflowing with conjecture, misinformation, propaganda, and partisan hackery, it is difficult to know what exactly is coming, how we should be preparing for it, and how we can fight it.So what are we facing, really? How do we get ready for the fight ahead? What tools do we need to parse fact from fiction in this critical moment, when talk is everywhere but truth is in short supply? What lessons from the last Trump administration can we use to effectively navigate the very different political terrain we're on and media ecosystem we're in today? In this livestream, we dug into these questions (and answered yours!) with independent media makers Abby Martin of Empire Files, Francesca Fiorentini of “The Bitchuation Room” podcast, and Kat Abughazaleh of Mother Jones.Studio: David Hebden, Cameron Granadino, Adam ColeyProduction: Maximillian AlvarezHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast

We are in the last 48 hours before the polls open in the US and the American people will decide their president; and tangentially, the political trajectory of the entire world. While Trump has enjoyed favourable odds and predictions up until this point, the most recent polls have Kamala Harris crawling back to make this race neck and neck. With so little between the candidates' polling numbers, and so much to analyse, Piers Morgan is going to need some help.For this special US election panel, Piers is joined by editor of TownHall.com and Fox News contributor Katie Pavlich, host of the Bitchuation Room podcast Francesca Fiorentini, political commentator and author of “Elephants are not Birds” Ashley St Clair and host of the Democracy-Ish podcast Wajahat Ali. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Dave Weigel, politics writer at Semafor, author of the "Americana" newsletter, to discuss the biggest headlines of the week. Then, she speaks with comedian Francesca Fiorentini, host of the Bitchuation Room! First, Emma runs through updates on Israel's bombing of dense residential areas of Beirut and continuing war crimes at home and in Gaza, Harris' attempt to court Latino voters, Obama's attempt to court young black men, Trump's legal woes, Florida's power issues, voter registration in Florida and Georgia, Boeing's anti-labor action, and TD Bank's record-breaking money laundering fine, before parsing a little deeper into Trump decision to shit on the biggest city in a major swing state over… NATO tax rates? Dave Weigel then joins, diving right into the state of the US presidential race in major swing states like Arizona, highlighting Harris' recent pivot away from emphasizing a populist agenda towards vague bipartisan grandstanding with the few anti-Trump Republicans left while unpacking the positives (and negatives) of this approach electorally. Expanding on this, Dave and Emma parse through the polling numbers on high- and low-/mid-propensity voters – touching on Trump's particular ability to turn out that ladder group – and why Harris' strong numbers with newly registered voters is a major plus, before turning to the comparisons between the Dem's 2024 campaign and those in 2012 and 2016, and why the former – thankfully – might be the more accurate one. After touching on the evolution of Harris' messaging game post-convention, Weigel dives deep into the GOP's own insane choices for their messaging campaign – including a reliance on the ever-inconsistent Elon Musk and Turning Points – and what to make of their ongoing push for an anti-trans agenda despite its lack of electoral salience in the past, wrapping up the interview by assessing the dearth of a direct response to Republican narratives on crime, immigration, and trans rights, and what that vacuum in the Democratic messaging campaign might mean come November. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Bradley watch Jesse Watters put on an enchanting display of toxic masculinity with Stephen Miller, dive a little deeper into the absurdity of the Trump messaging campaign (with some help from JD Vance), and highlight the continued strength of Greta Thunberg's unapologetic anti-colonial activism.

The polls were shifting in Donald Trump's favour before Tuesday night's debate.For all the relentless talk of “joy” and “change”, voters felt that Harris had failed to define herself and her platform. They needed to know more.Most viewers think she won the debate comfortably. But did she move the dial?Was this simply a missed opportunity for Trump to land a killer blow?Or was it the turning point that Vice President Harris has been searching for?My next guest cannot be accused of failing to give straight answers to the big questions. Host of No Spin News, and author of the new book “Confronting the Presidents”, Bill O'Reilly joins Piers to discuss.Followed by a debate involving TikTok influencer, Harry Sisson ,Host of the Bitchuation Room, Francesca Fiorentini, Podcast and radio host, Ben Ferguson & Brandon Tatum, host of The Officer Tatum Show Hosted on Acast.

On this very Frantastic Friday, Francesca plucks a few choice moments from Kamala Harris and Tim Walz's interview with CNN to dissect. Specifically her thoughts on immigration, Gaza, and whether she is flip flopping now that she is running in a general election. Short answer: yes. The overall takeaway is, who is Kamala Harris really? What kind of administration will she run? We simply do not know but we sure as hell know it won't be Trumpian chaos.

It's Casual Friday! Sam speaks with Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. Then, the MR Crew is joined by Francesca Fiorentini, host of the Bitchuation Room! First, Emma runs through updates on a major prisoner swap with Russia, the Harris campaign's hot start, questions on Harris' Israel stance, slowing job growth, the slaughter of medical workers in Gaza, Bob Good, Nigeria's mass protests, and the passing of James Baldwin, also parsing through the particular role Kamala Harris played in the recent prisoner swap with Russia, and what that tells us about Biden's presidency. Sam and Digby then parse through the major pivots in the US presidential race from the last months, including Trump and the GOP completely botching the potential bump from the failed assassination attempt with the devastatingly bad choice of JD Vance for VP, Biden's choice to drop out AFTER the Republican Convention, and Kamala Harris likely nomination. They also tackle the GOP's embarrassing inability to stay away from overt bigotry when discussing Harris' candidacy, before wrapping up the interview with a brief assessment of Harris' likely choices for VP and her administration, and whether or not her platform will pivot back to Obama-era neoliberalism. Francesca Fiorentini and Emma then reminisce on the comedy of our (their) youth, watch some highlights from the JD Vance creep compilation, and tackle the devastating relationship between motherhood and poverty. They also unpack the West's relationship with Israel, Elon Musk's recent AI Harris campaign ad, and Harris' concerning pivot right on immigration. And in the Fun Half: Emma discusses land back politics in the US and tackles the absurd controversy around boxer Imane Khelif's victory in the Olympics, with right-wing leaders like JD Vance and Jesse Watters calling on Kamala Harris for a response, plus, your IMs!

Will the media be talking about the environmental impacts of mass military onslaught this year or the corporate polluters that will dodge taxes this season? In this installment of Meet the BIPOC Press, our monthly media roundtable featuring journalists of color, hear how the idea of the environment has been siloed and why it's up to the media to undo that. Our guests are Olúfẹ́mi O.

Kamala meets with Netanyahu and things are icy, especially after delivering the strongest public remarks against the assault on Gaza we have heard from any American official. Francesca gives her take on how we must divide the elites over Palestine, starting with Harris. Then JD Vance's "childless cat ladies" remarks ricochet around the country, souring voters from every stripe. Maybe his couch-f*cking will win them back?

Puerto Rico is nearly unlivable for Puerto Ricans. After decades of exploitation and natural disasters, it seems like the U.S. territory (*cough colony!*) is now completely at the whim of crypto billionaires, money launderers and American tax evaders. Co-directors of forthcoming documentary Losing Puerto Rico, Nomiki Konst and Federico de Jesus break down how an unelected economic board and American tax policies have led to a massive housing crisis and skyrocketing prices. Puerto Rico is no longer for Puerto Ricans.

It's Casual Friday! Sam speaks with Ryan Grim, D.C. Bureau Chief at The Intercept and co-host of Counter Points, to round up the week in news. Then, he's joined by Francesca Fiorentini, host of the Bitchuation Room! First, Sam runs through updates on yesterday's State of the Union, Biden-Trump polling, US aid to Gaza, US arms to Israel, ceasefire talks, NATO, US jobs numbers, Iowan fascism, FEC policy, and Donald Trump's defamation debt, also parsing through the impact of yesterday's ceasefire protest outside of the SOTU, and Biden's supposed hot mic moment committing to his insistence that he'll definitely convince Netanyahu to let in aid sometime soon. Ryan Grim then joins, running through some updates on recent challenges to the Intercept and the mass layoff that hit the company's unionized staff, before stepping back to assess the absurdity of Biden's hot mic comments to Senator Bennett and the doubtfulness around Biden doing something new to stop this conflict. Expanding on this, Grim and Sam walk through Biden's role in pushing unconditional US support for the genocide in Gaza, the oddity of the leaks coming out of VP Harris' office, and Biden's history of being a centrist cipher on every issue OTHER than militant Zionism and US imperialism. Next, they parse through Biden's SOTU statements on immigration, completely turning the notion that “no human is illegal” and continuing to commit to the GOP's framing on the border, before wrapping up by assessing Biden's goal for the speech, and how well he accomplished it. Francesca Fiorini and Sam then address the question of who Biden's SOTU speech was for, explore the vague notions of liberal politics that he promoted with little to no agenda to back it up, and gauge the future of democratic leadership after this election cycle. After briefly touching on Biden's comments on the whole “gerontocracy” problem, Francesca and Sam wrap up the free half by parsing through GOP Senator Katie Britt's response to Biden's State of the Union, and the – ah – pointed reviews from the GOP establishment. And in the Fun Half: Sam watches Lara Trump extoll the public's general embarrassment around Trump as proof of his strong base, Candace Owens highlights the problem of those damn cultish Jews, and Sean Hannity accidentally paints Joe Biden as “having energy,” plus, your IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Emma speaks with Alex Pareene, contributing editor at The New Republic and co-host of The Politics of Everything podcast, to round up the week in news. Then, she is joined by Francesca Fiorentini, host of the Bitchuation Room! First, Emma runs through updates on Biden's war in the Middle East, the backlash to that policy, Netanyahu's “From the River to the Sea” proclamation, the growing Gaza death toll, Mexico and Chile's new request for an ICC probe into Israel, Biden's student loan relief, Congress' continuing resolution and CTC, and Washington state's take on Donald Trump's ballot access, before diving into the recent revelations around the deadly inaction from the Uvalde Police in the Robb Elementary mass shooting in 2022. Alex Pareene then joins, diving into Democrats' ongoing attempt to pin the accountability for Biden's war in the Middle East on Brett McGurk, Biden's NSC Coordinator for the Middle East, and touches on Biden's recent statements on his strikes on Yemen as a perfect encapsulation of US foreign policy. Alex and Emma also parse through Bibi Netanyahu's recent statements outrightly rejecting the idea of a Palestinian state, the growing violence in the Middle East, and the hollowness of many 2-state solution arguments. Wrapping up, Pareene touches on Biden's weak support as the 2024 election cycle begins, also exploring results coming out of the Iowa caucuses, and what the hell the non-Trump candidates are fighting for. Francesca Fiorentini also joins, as she discusses her upcoming shows on the West Coast (including an Emma Vigeland appearance), her Seinfeldian experiences doing stand-up, and grappling with the liberal zionist desire to have their genocide and perpetrate it too. Wrapping up, they watch Matt Lee school the US State Department Spokesperson on Israel's controlled demolition of Gaza University. And in the Fun Half: Emma watches Nikki Haley attempt to do a slavery revisionism revision only to be reminded of slavery by Jake Tapper, and Candace Owens inspires a grand debate on what category of killer Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) falls under. Donald Trump gets desperate on Hannity, and Goya's CEO and ND Governor Burgum remind the Fox audience of Trump's qualifications, plus, your IMs!

And scabs repenting in "real time" as both Drew Barrymore and Bill Maher reverse their decisions to bring back their talk shows in the midst of the actors and writers' strikes.

It's Casual Friday! Emma hosts Alex Pareene, Contributing Editor at the New Republic and co-host of the Politics of Everything podcast, to round up the week in news. Then, she's joined by Francesca Fiorentini, host of The Bitchuation Room podcast! Emma starts off with some more harrowing updates from the wildfires in Maui, where residents were advised by police to jump into the ocean to escape the blaze. Then, MR bestie Alex Pareene joins Emma and the crew to break down the big headlines, starting off with the big win for abortion rights and democracy in Ohio after Issue 1 was rejected by voters. Emma and Alex discuss, given the consistent success that left-leaning issues have had with ballot measures in purple-to-red states, sometimes even more success than actual Democratic politicians, what liberals and the national Democratic party can learn from this. They also wonder if, given the success on the ground in referenda like Issue 1, as well as voters, liberal and independent, now having seen the Republicans assault on democracy with their own eyes on January 6th, 2021, whether the "abortion & January 6th" political strategy is the most salient one going into 2024. They then touch upon the January 6th indictment brought down by Special Counsel Jack Smith on Trump, and how Emma was "libbing out" over the impressive and effective nature of how streamlined Smith made the indictment, seemingly intentionally so. Emma brings up Sam's contention about how Trump is running in the 2024 primary, and how it differs slightly from 2020 and 2016: that Trump, due to all of the legal arenas that he is exposed in going into 2024, is essentially fighting for his life, existentially and politically. News breaks as this discussion is going on, with the announcement from Attorney General Merrick Garland now announcing that he has, upon request, appointed David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware, regarding the investigation into Hunter Biden. This is SEPARATE from the Robert Hur special counsel into Biden's possession of classified documents, a trend that, Alex points out, has never worked to make Republicans trust that Democrats are being properly overseen and investigated. This leads to a very well-earned discussion on the unique uselessness of Garland as a Cabinet official, compared to someone like FTC chair Lina Khan.The topic turns to Ron DeSantis, whose presidential campaign has continued to crater, and how, in retrospect, it seems as if this implosion has been all but inevitable. Alex marvels at how, even after 7 years of Donald Trump, no one in the Republican Party seems to have any idea on how to actually "deal" with Trump, especially now that, as Matt points out, DeSantis's candidacy is essentially contingent upon an act-of-god taking Trump out of the primary. The MR Crew take a stroll down memory lane, exemplifying Trump's debate prowess in pantsing his fellow primary opponents when Ted Cruz tried to explain "New York values" to a debate audience, remarks that Trump proceeded to destroy him on. This is proof, for Alex, that it almost seems silly that Trump wouldn't want to participate in the first debate in a few weeks, because nothing endears him to voters more, because the talk radio and pro wrestling instincts are actually Trump's strongest (and not DeSantis's). Emma and Alex end their chat discussing yet another bombshell ProPublica report on Justice Clarence Thomas's seemingly endless benefits, trips, and gifts he received from a number of extremely rich benefactors, and what, if anything, congressional Democrats might do to try to rein in corruption on the Supreme Court. The lack of oversight on these unimpeachable justices, and the lack of coherence of any political message coming from the Democrats on what they plan to do to combat the undemocratic nature of the court, will inevitably lead to disillusionment in rank-and-file voters. One last appeal against blanket reverence for institutionalism is made, and then Emma lets bestie Alex go. Then, Francesca joins the MR Crew right before she was going to head out to walk the picket line in solidarity with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA. They react to CNBC's Jim Cramer's bone-deep fear of UAW President Shawn Fain, and how, per Cramer, the man is seemingly as charismatic as Malcolm X and as frightening as Freddy Krueger. They then take a look into the romance of Ron and Casey DeSantis and how, during an NBCNews interview, Casey outlines how, when she was undergoing treatment for cancer, Ron...picked up their kids from school. They get a few more laughs in at DeSantis's expense, revisiting some of his extremely unnatural retail politicking, before Francesca jumps off. And in the Fun Half, Emma takes a look at Al Gore's recent TED Talk where he eviscerates the idea of pushing more chips into the middle of the table and investing in carbon capture (something the Biden Administration is literally doing right now), as well as the pick-me girl musings of Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez on Barbenheimer. Plus, your IM's!
