Podcasts about campaign trail

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum define our democracy (what’s left of it). Nowadays it’s popular to say that the USA is a “democracy in decline.” But what does that actually mean when for many of us the system has been failing! Our hosts identify specific areas where our democracy has crumbled and begin to answer the question: exactly HOW and WHY has our democracy failed? This will be an ongoing conversation, and we’d love your input, send us a video! Speaking of ongoing conversations, we hear your pushback to this idea that we ought to stand in solidarity with migrants. In a video we received, one of y’all was also questioning the idea that there could ever be self-sufficient communities for Black and Brown folks. We’ll play that video so the hosts can respond to your criticism. We love being in conversation with y’all, even when we disagree! We invite you to think radically, consult your local communities, and imagine how our democracy can be salvaged–or completely reconstructed??

Trump’s justice department has drastically scaled back its support for anti-crime initiatives. They’ve cut $500 million in grants from 200+ organizations focused on violence prevention. Angela Rye went LIVE to talk about the impact of these cuts on violence prevention in the Black community with two folks doing the work: Rev. Michael McBride (Pastor Mike) is the executive director for LIVE FREE USA, a national organizing and social change network committed to ending the criminalization of people of color, reducing gun violence and transforming the policing and the criminal justice system. He is a national leader in the movement to implement community violence intervention and he serves as the Lead Pastor of The Way Church in Berkeley, CA. Support Pastor Mike’s work at https://livefreeusa.org/ and follow him @impastormike_ Wesley Moore created the mentoring and youth leadership program, Our Brothers Keeper (OBK) in 2016. OBK has provided temporary housing, employment, and skill training workshops for youth and young adults ages 14-25. Before OBK, he started a construction company that focuses on providing temporary housing for youth transitioning out of foster care and families transitioning out of shelters.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum interview Atlanta’s former mayor–and now GA gubernatorial candidate–Keisha Lance Bottoms. And we’ll respond to some of your criticism… Last week we did an episode about migrant rights that some of y’all pushed back on in the comments. Some challenged the notion that we ought to stand alongside communities who, according to some, do not stand alongside the Black community. Moreover, we hear your criticism that y’all want to know what to do and not necessarily just a lecture. We’re here for this back-and-forth, let’s talk. Gubernatorial candidate Keisha Lance Bottoms tells us what she learned from Stacey Abrams near-miss in Georgia, offers a thought or two on the situation at FAMU, and opens up about her strategy to win rural voters. It’s not all about the ATL y’all! NLP will be joining the State of the People tour next Saturday 5/31 in Jackson Mississippi!

In Florida they’re calling her ‘MAGA Marva’ Johnson, the ally of Governor DeSantis who is very nearly the 13th president of the historically Black university, FAMU. How did we get here, where a nominee who is roundly rejected by the community is STILL being lifted to the highest office? And what happens next? To answer these questions, Andrew Gillum is joined by two guests. Dr. Keneshia Grant, PhD and professor of political science at Howard U, and Monica Williams Harris, an attorney who serves on FAMU Foundation’s board of directors.

Hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum are no strangers to Fox News telling lies. Recently, Fox misrepresented and subtly mocked Mayor Ras Baraka for comparing himself to the biblical figure David while on stage for Angela Rye’s State of the People tour. Angela’s not sure if she should be upset about it and is looking to her hosts for advice. Should we care about what the lying made-for-the-comfort-of-white-audiences news says? Or are we better off ignoring them? Here is the piece that Fox wrote up: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/watch-newark-mayor-compares-self-biblical-hero-wake-ice-protest-arrest-this-our-david-moment And the video clip that they pulled from: https://www.youtube.com/live/G6W67LIzAE4 Find out more about the State of the People tour: https://stateoftheppl.com/ If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ Welcome home y’all! —--------- We want to hear from you!

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum speak with the Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka. The Mayor made headlines last Friday after he was arrested by ICE while protesting a new ICE detention facility in his home city. Mayor Baraka’s arrest comes in the context of Trump’s sprawling campaign of retribution against his “political enemies.” From law firms, to judges, to universities and elected officials–Trump is weaponizing the federal government against anyone he perceives to have wronged him. The legal attacks are often effective even if his administration doesn’t win the case… Today our hosts discuss government retaliation. The chilling effect of these attacks could have long term impacts on free speech, the application of justice, and our ability to govern. Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Ras J. Baraka is a Newark native, poet, and educator. Under his leadership, Newark achieved a 60-year low in crime, replaced 23,000 lead service lines, and reduced homelessness by 57%. A member of Alpha Phi Alpha, Ras is a lifelong advocate for equity and opportunity. He’s now running a campaign for Governor of New Jersey.

Florida A&M University is in search of a new president. Several finalists have been put forward, including Marva Johnson, who has strong ties to Governor DeSantis and his anti-DEI, anti-Black history stances. Members of the community spoke out against candidate Johnson, calling her a “political plant.” Will the board of trustees appoint a MAGA-like president or listen to the will of the community? Hosts Andrew Gillum, Tiffany Cross, and Angela Rye will discuss.

With the June primary about seven weeks away, the campaign trail in the race for mayor is heating up with new ads and policy proposals. Andrew Cuomo released his mental health plan and announced plans to run on a third-party ballot line this November, while Zohran Mamdani rallied with hundreds of supporters in Brooklyn and Brad Lander released his first campaign ad of the cycle. NY1 investigative reporter Courtney Gross and political reporters Bobby Cuza and Ayanna Harry break down the latest developments in the crowded race. After that, the “Off Topic” team continues its weekly series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. This week's installment finds them discussing the candidacy of City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, who promised to shake up the race when she announced her campaign in March.

On our last main episode, Angela Rye pointed out that “apathy” won the last election. Trump won the popular vote with 77+ million votes. However, nearly 90 million voting-age Americans did not vote at all. On today’s SoloPod, Angela speaks with one of those non-voters to talk through his decision. It turns out “apathetic” is the last word we’d use to describe him. Our guest, Reginald Henderson, is an entrepreneur, community advocate, and facilitator from Dayton, Ohio. He is captivated by design, loves to explore and experiment, and appreciates the intersection of beauty and function that is essentialism. Reginald currently manages his family-owned pest removal business: Ladybug Services. Want to ask Angela a question? Subscribe to our YouTube channel to participate in the chat.

Hosts Tiffany Cross and Andrew Gillum ask: what do you think white folks think the meaning of movies like Sinners and Get Out is? Beyond the box office smash hits, films made by Black and Brown creators have shaped the lives of our hosts–and countless folks across the globe.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum discuss one of the United States’ main exports: rightwing populism. While the U.S. is constricting imports from other countries (with serious shortages looming), we continue to be a major exporter of culture, including MAGA culture. We can trace rightwing populist ideology’s spread AND learn a thing or two for our own movements. We’ll revisit a question we posed on a past MiniPod: should our podcast feature conservative guests? Our hosts have thoughts on this one y’all. Tens of thousands of government employees are set to be re-classified as “schedule F” political appointees by the Trump administration. Glancing at Project 2025… This looks like preparation for mass layoffs at the Federal government. Finally, Angela gives us an update on the State of the People tour. She’s on a quest to find the apathetic voters!

In this week's episode, I take the mic solo to reflect on the passing of Pope Francis and what his legacy means for faith, culture, and the ever-present world of politics. Raised in a deeply Catholic family, my experience as both a political commentator and a lifelong Catholic gives me a unique lens on how Church leadership ripples into our communities and institutions. My journey through religion, personal loss, and public service shapes how I look at the Catholic Church’s pivotal moments—and what comes next. I share candid and personal thoughts on the influence of Pope Francis, from his humble roots as the first Latin American Pope to the bold, sometimes controversial stances he took on climate change, LGBTQ inclusion, and the evolving role of women in the Church. I question how politics weaves its way into religion—and vice versa—and explore what it means when Church leaders step into the political spotlight. I don’t hold back about my critiques, including my call for married and female priests, and my opinion on separating personal choice from public policy. I also take you inside the secretive papal conclave, share my vision for a younger, more progressive Pope, and reflect on a moving personal encounter with Pope Francis in Rome. “Politics is in every bit of life. There’s politics in your offices, there’s politics in your friend groups, there’s politics in your tennis team, there’s politics in your playgroup.” ~Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: My reflections on Pope Francis’ legacy and his passing Pope Francis’ historic firsts and progressive actions The impact of Church's stances on major social and political issues Why I believe we should welcome married and female priests My critiques of conservatism and calls for reforming the Church The secretive process behind the papal conclave The essential role of women in transmitting faith and values Why there's politics in every layer of life Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Three days out from the Australian election and the cost of living continues to be a key issue on the campaign trail. New figures released today show annual inflation is at 2.4 percent which is slightly higher than expected for the latest quarter. Australia's Treasurer said the figures are within the target range for inflation - but that has not stopped the coalition holding firm to its line that the Labor government has been disastrous for the Australian economy. Corin Dann spoke to Lisa Owen.

Hosts Angela Rye and Tiffany Cross look at how wealth corrupts (or not) members of the Black community. Tiffany kicks off the episode with storytime and Angela brings up examples of how wealth can make a person out of touch (looking at you Gayle King).

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are TOGETHER IN MIAMI!! This week’s convo kicks off with a listener question: why not move to Africa? But for real, it’s cheaper to live there or open a business–plus there’s a tradition of Black Americans moving to Africa. However, we DON’T want to be moving like white colonizers. The Trump administration has threatened to pull funding from Universities that teach subjects they don’t approve of, like Critical Race Theory and LGBTQ+ studies (so much for the party of free speech). How do we protect freedom of thought in our schools and institutions from a repressive authoritarian government? Reverend Al Sharpton has had talks with Target’s CEO about DEI after a boycott of the company initiated by Pastor Jamal Bryant. Not everyone approves of the Reverend inserting himself into the situation, which begs the question: who gets to call themselves a leader of the Black community? Are we a leaderless movement?? A shout-out to the State of the People Tour which kicks off in Atlanta this week! A special thanks to Angela Rye for showing up to work at NLP today despite being DEEP in organizing mode.

Gen Z is “locking in”—cutting out booze, social media, and nights out to hyperfocus on goals and mental health. Is it the secret to success, or just another online trend?

Ling has thoughts on Mark Carney's strategy, Pierre Poilievre's performance, and what the entire spectacle tells us about voter sentiment heading into the final stretch. The two also explore Canadian housing policy, debate stage dynamics, and the often awkward role of the Debate Commission in the new media age.This episode is also brought to you by the Métis Nation of Ontario. It's 1833 in Penetanguishene, five years since the Métis were forced to relocate from their home on Drummond Island. Métis families had petitioned for a church. They wanted ceremony and community. With their own hands, they raised St. Ann's — a cedar log church where baptisms, marriages, and kinship ties would bind the Métis community across the generations. But they had no priest. So, they began to write letter after letter, advocating for the Métis community. Eventually, a priest arrived, beginning to formally record long-existing relationships within the Métis community, and generations of Métis families' stories to come. Two hundred years later, St. Ann's Church is now built of stone, but the Métis community in Penetanguishene will never forget its humble origins, which rallied their community in the wake of their 1828 relocation.Historic Métis communities in Ontario are real. They are resilient. And they played an important part in building Canada.

Mike looks into Ipsos's archive of data and gives Jen (and the listeners) a read on what the numbers are showing — and why tone, not just policy, might decide this election.As always, like and subscribe at ReadTheLine.ca.

This week, mayoral candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo had some highs — and some lows. He was once again confirmed to be a frontrunner in a new Siena College poll, but he was also denied millions of dollars in public matching funds because of a so-called technical glitch. Meanwhile, Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is the first mayoral candidate to max out on public matching funds. Mamdani, along with some of the other candidates, spent the week going after President Donald Trump. NY1 political director Bob Hardt, investigative reporter Courtney Gross and statehouse reporter Bernadette Hogan break down a busy week in the race for mayor. After that, the “Off Topic” team continues its series of profiles on Democratic mayoral primary candidates. This week's installment finds them discussing Jessica Ramos, the Queens state senator running to the left of most of the other candidates.

Gen Z Responds to Roland’s Black Bank of Justice Pt. 1 This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum host a cross-generational discussion with three politically active youths.

In this week’s episode, Jennifer is joined by Morgan Vina, Principal at Invariant, a bipartisan government relations and communications firm based in Washington, DC. With extensive experience providing strategic counsel to companies, trade associations, nonprofits, and individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of Washington, Morgan is recognized for her expertise in global economic policy, national security, and defense technology. Before joining Invariant, Morgan served in high-level roles, including working with Ambassador Nikki Haley and advising on U.S. manufacturing and tech policy. This episode dives into some of the nation’s most pressing and controversial issues, beginning with the volatile response of financial markets to tariff escalations and America’s pivotal position in the global economic order. Jennifer and Morgan dissect the immediate impact of global tariffs, Trump’s negotiation tactics, and the strategic repercussions with countries such as China and Vietnam. The conversation shifts to the internal intrigue of “Signal Gate,” security breaches within the National Security Council, and the influence of polarizing figures like Laura Loomer. Morgan and Jennifer examine how these issues connect to broader questions of foreign policy, U.S. manufacturing revival, and the complex dynamics inside the Trump administration, particularly between “restrainers” and national security professionals. The episode wraps with a focus on Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, U.S.-Israel relations, and the unexpected headline of America’s interest in Greenland. "There are some people within his orbit that are very smart....there are other people who are just complete dilettantes." ~Morgan Vina This week on Political Contessa: The dramatic impact of tariffs on U.S. and global markets Trump’s negotiation style and global economic strategy The strategic risk posed by China’s influence in Southeast Asia The revival of U.S. manufacturing and the importance of modern tech industries The national security breach known as “Signal Gate” and its ramifications Political infighting within the Trump administration between “restrainers” and security professionals Netanyahu’s White House visit and critical U.S.–Israel discussions The geopolitical significance of Greenland and U.S. strategic interests Connect with Morgan Vina: Invariant: https://invariantgr.com/ Resources Mentioned: Book: Freedom’s Forge by Arthur Herman Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

Governor Whitmer on Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist AND her visit with Trump. This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are joined by the Governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. Governor Whitmer’s term is almost over and the race to succeed her is on. Notably, she has not endorsed her Lieutenant Governor Garlin Gilchrist (nor anyone else). Lt. Gov Gilchrist is a friend of the show and the Black community, and so the hosts must ask: what gives? PLUS Governor Whitmer has said she’s open to working with Trump and she was even spotted recently at the White House in a somewhat embarrassing photo. We’ll get to the bottom of her controversial decision to meet with the president; was the meeting productive or was she just used as a photo-op prop? And of course we’ll hear from you!

Angela Rye went LIVE to breakdown the new deportation regime under our facist-in-chief, President Trump. The Trump administration has issued a deportation notice to an immigration attorney who is a full U.S. citizen. They said it was an accident but Trump is openly saying he’d like to deport U.S. citizens to El Salavadorean concentration camps with no due process. Want to ask Angela a question?

Andrew Gillum goes LIVE with Gen Z organizer Deyona Burton who shares her insight into how self-care and activism go hand in hand. Burton first made waves in 2020 when she led the effort to change the name of her Florida highschool from “Robert E. Lee” to “Riverside” High. Then, while attending FSU, Deyona Burton rose to national prominence as the Director of Programs for College Democrats of America. Her accolades include being honored at the White House, an impactful TEDx talk, earning the President’s Volunteer Service Award, and being named the 2024 National Action Network’s MLK Youth Honoree. Having contributed to campaigns and worked within offices at local, state, and national levels, Deyona now continues her mission to drive change from Washington, D.C.

Hosts Angela Rye and Tiffany Cross LET IT ALL OUT in this week’s MiniPod. They’ll critique certain Dems (cough cough Senator Booker cough cough), fret over the CRAZINESS of everything, and contemplate the viability of “the system” that is America.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross and Angela Rye are joined by special guest-host: Roland S Martin (of Roland Martin Unfiltered). Roland is one of the most vital sources of independent news for the Black community; his YouTube channel @rolandsmartin has 1.8 million subscribers and counting. Today’s show kicks off with Trump’s attacks on the Blacksonian (National Museum of African American History) and the massive protests against him over the weekend. A lot of folks are complaining about the Trump administration but we don’t see enough doing; Roland says younger generations are “withdrawing from the bank of justice” without making any deposits. How do we help Black folks battle the apathy and feel their agency? Tariffs–tariffs for everyone! Or not? Let’s be 100% clear y’all: tariffs are a tax that WE will pay. Our hosts explain how tariffs work, why they were put in place, and who benefits (SPOILER ALERT: it’s not us). Male enrollment at HBCUs is hitting historical lows, mirroring attendance at colleges nationwide. This represents a failure to engage men in the educational process that starts well before college. The hosts discuss causes, impacts, and potential solutions. Host Andrew Gillum is out this week. He’s on a field trip with the kids to NASA. Have fun Andrew! And of course we’ll hear from you!

In this week's episode of Political Contessa, Jennifer examines the significant yet often overlooked role of women in the Republican Party's history. Bringing her expertise and passion to the forefront, Jennifer explores women's impactful contributions to the GOP from its inception to the present day. Jennifer sheds light on the long-standing involvement of women in the GOP, challenging the narrative that the Democratic Party is the sole champion of women's issues. She highlights key milestones, from women attending the first Republican meeting in 1854, the introduction of the 19th amendment, and the endorsement of an Equal Rights Amendment in 1940. This episode delves into the accomplishments of notable women in the party's history and emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and supporting women in politics. Jennifer calls on women to be proud of their political engagement and urges them to continue breaking barriers and making history within the GOP. "Yep, I said it. I said it right here. 1940, the Republican Party, first major political party to endorse an equal rights amendment for women in its platform." - Jennifer Nassour This week on Political Contessa: Women's historical involvement in the Republican Party The GOP's foundation with women's participation A Republican senator introduced 19th Amendment The GOP's 1940 endorsement of the Equal Rights Amendment Women serving as officials and appointees in the GOP Republican women's milestones in elected offices Encouragement for GOP women to financially support political causes Importance of women recognizing and embracing their political power Awaken Your Inner Political Contessa Thanks for tuning into this week’s episode of Political Contessa.

The Trump administration has issued an executive order to remove Black history from the Smithsonian. It targets “woke ideology,” the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and anything else that might make white folks uncomfortable. Yes, we know that LOTS of TRUE history makes white folks uncomfortable.

Donald Trump issued a new ultimatum to China on tariffs as the stock market backlash to the president's trade action continued. Monday trading kicked off with a rollercoaster ride on worldwide markets and the day ended with further losses across the board, including the price of crude oil which hit a new low. Federal party leaders all addressed the economic uncertainty on the campaign trail, with Liberal Leader Mark Carney saying the risk of recession in the United States has gone up “significantly” and it will have an impact on the Canadian economy. And this is a special edition of Your World Tonight. We are in Alberta, exploring the issues that matter to Albertans in this federal election campaign and how those feelings could shape the national conversation.

Hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany Cross, along with guest-host Elie Mystal, respond to a provocative listener question submitted by Dr. B.J. Brunious. Dr. Brunious saw last week’s episode and, as a Black gay man, was TRIGGERED. He doesn’t know anyone who identifies as “gay” before “Black” (as was discussed last week). He asks how it came to be that some Black folk think that one group’s gains (hispanics, LGBTQ, etc.) mean the Black community’s loss? Isn’t this the same logic used by white people AGAINST the Black community all the time?

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, AND guest-host Elie Mystal celebrate Senator Cory Booker for his 25-hour (!) protest speech. Booker set the record for the longest speech in Congress EVER. Our guest-host Elie Mystal is the justice correspondent for The Nation, where he writes radical truths about our flawed justice system. This former attorney turned thought leader is one of the most hilarious, well-spoken, and pointed progressive voices out there–if you don’t know him, get to! He’s just released a new book, Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is having a temper tantrum; he has cancelled ALL votes on the House floor after he failed to quash a bipartisan bill that would allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. GOD FORBID Congress make allowances for new mothers. Was the Supreme Court decision that mandated integration a mistake?? Our hosts take a fresh look at Brown v. Board of Education with Elie Mystal and discuss movement building in the Democratic party. Elie explains how a shared history of racist laws and practices shapes this moment, how the left can (and should) adopt certain strategies from the right, and how to find hope even in the darkest times.

Elon Musk was the largest donor in the 2024 presidential election–and now he’s setting himself up to be the main financier of MAGA candidates. Host Angela Rye takes us to a race in Wisconsin for a Supreme Court seat, where Musk is bribing voters and handing out million-dollar checks in unhinged (and possibly illegal) publicity stunts. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, Curtis James Jackson (AKA 50 Cent) dropped a video where he endorsed an amendment to the state’s constitution that would have significantly lowered the income tax for the wealthiest people in the state (such as himself). Despite the deceptive nature of some of these amendments and their deliberately misleading names, voters showed up to hand MAGA the L. Want to ask Angela a question?

Part 2 looks at the Black community's approval of Trump and the Democratic party. New data (brought to us by our guest and President of HIT Strategies Terrance Woodbury) shows the Democratic party losing support from what has historically been its most reliable voting base: Black folks. Meanwhile, Trump’s approval has doubled since 2017. What gives? And where do we go from here? Civil rights advocate Gary Chambers has some answers, as do our hosts Angela Rye, Tiffany Cross, and Andrew Gillum.

The results are in: do Black men & women see politics the same way? This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum just have one thing to say: the numbers don’t lie–we finally got a poll of Black People y’all!! With guests Terrance Woodbury, Democratic pollster, and Gary Chambers, civil rights advocate and perennial candidate (you might remember his blunt-smoking campaign ad). One thing the data makes plain: there is a significant difference of values between many Black men and Black women. In a conversation that at times becomes heated, the hosts discuss those differences with their guests. How many Black folks voted this last election? What motivates people to go to vote OR not? How can Democrats adjust their strategy and messaging to appeal to the (often disillusioned) Black community? President of HIT Strategies Terrance Woodbury has been conducting the polls and has some crucial answers. AND we have to cover Trump’s recent executive order that gives the federal government more control over voting registration. If it clears legal challenges, the changes will make it more difficult to register to vote, a classic GOP voter suppression strategy. And of course we’ll hear from you!

GOP wants to secure America but can’t even secure the group chat. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is in HOT water after accidentally texting war plans to a journalist from The Atlantic. Two other high level Trump appointees, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, were on the same text thread and just got GRILLED by Congress for their involvement. In the upside-down world of rightwing media they’re pretending like the highest ranking military leader (besides the president himself) accidentally sending war plans to members of the public is no big deal.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum talk about the single most powerful force in Washington DC: the special interests. Why is it that our political leaders so often act in opposition to the will of the voters? There is an industry of lobbyists and special interest groups that donate unlimited amounts of money (thanks Citizens United) to fund our politicians' campaigns, gain access to their offices, and influence their decision making. On today’s episode our hosts de-mystify the D.C. machine–who do our politicians REALLY work for? We’re looking at you, BlackRock. Check out who donates to YOUR representatives at www.opensecrets.org/ Speaking of the influence of special interests, Palestinian Mahmoud Khalil has been separated from his family and jailed for protesting the war in Gaza while he was a graduate student at Columbia University. His fight is not over and he has a message for all of us, read his open letter here: inthesetimes.com/article/mahmoud-khalil-letter-from-a-palestinian-political-prisoner-in-louisiana TELL US which special interest groups concern (or excite) you!

Racism, Race-baiting, and Why Is It All About Race Anyway? Our hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Tiffany cross weigh the age-old question: can Black people be racist? Well first it depends what we mean when we say “racism.” Moreover, why is it that every time someone tries to point out structural racism online, some troll just has to accuse them of “race-baiting”? Let’s talk about it. If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ Welcome home y’all! —--------- We want to hear from you!

Shutdown or Shut Up: Why Won’t Dems Fall in Line? Reflecting on Bloody Sunday This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum have a call to action: fast from Target. Pastor Jamal Bryant has called for a fast of Target stores, a 40 day boycott that started on March 6th. The company has rolled back DEI initiatives despite being one of the largest employers of Black Americans. Our hosts check on the progress of the fast and discuss how to minimize harm. A government shutdown is looming, funding runs out at midnight this Friday unless Congress can pass a new budget. Republicans want to pass a stop-gap measure called a “continuing resolution,” a slimmed down version of the current budget that would put off decisions on a new budget until the Fall. They need Democratic votes to get it through the Senate. Is there any reason Democrats should comply? While the new Education Secretary Linda McMahon lays off 50% of the Department of Education’s workforce, Trump sends threatening letters to universities. Citing civil rights laws, the Trump admin says it will pull federal funding from schools that allow pro-Palestinian protests. We’ve just passed the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when civil rights marchers fighting for the right to vote were attacked by police while peacefully marching across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama. How far have we come since then? And of course we’ll hear from you!
