Synopsis:  What does this past Election Day signal for politician-activists running for office?This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to LauraFlanders.org/donateDescription:  What do the results of this past Election Day signal for politician-activists running for office and the future of the Democratic Party? “Politivists” Cori Bush and Kat Abughazaleh say the tides are changing. In what was widely viewed as a rebuke of the Trump administration's policies, Democrats won races at every level in blue and red states on November 4, including Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayor's race. Today's guests know firsthand how challenging and costly it can be to run for office as a progressive — especially when megadonors and backdoor deals are the name of the game in our political system. Cori Bush is fighting to retake the seat she won in 2021, Missouri's First District, which covers the city of St. Louis. She'll be up against incumbent Wesley Bell, whose successful campaign against her in 2024 was heavily funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, a zionist political action committee. Kat Abughazaleh is a 26-year old Palestinian-American, former journalist and political commentator who is currently facing a federal indictment related to her protests outside an ICE facility in Western Chicago. She's making waves in a crowded Democratic field to represent Illinois' Ninth District, covering the Chicago-area. How can modern progressives keep up this political momentum? And where does the Democratic Party go from here? Join us for that conversation, plus a commentary from Laura on making Congress less classist.“I've been in Congress and I know the change that can happen when someone not only works for their district, but fights for the district . . . I have heard from my community, their frustrations with the lack of leadership. I've heard their despair as it relates to what happens tomorrow, because this manufactured chaos coming down from the Trump administration is not being dealt with . . . We are saying, ‘Wait till 2026 because things will get better.' People are living it right now.” - Cori Bush“A lot of people have lost faith in our political system, from every political stripe, because politicians are about words and not actions. We are using our resources to not only reach voters, but materially improve their lives. We do backpack drives, food drives, our campaign office doubles as a mutual aid hub . . . We are genuinely making a change on the ground and win or lose, this campaign is a net benefit to this community.” - Kat AbughazalehGuests:• Kat Abughazaleh: Congressional Candidate (D-IL-09)• Cori Bush: Former Congresswoman (D-MO-01); Current Congressional Candidate (D-MO-01) Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

Before Marilyn Monroe or Cindy Crawford, there was Audrey Munson — the original American muse. In the early 1900s, her face and figure inspired hundreds of statues across New York City and beyond. She was celebrated as “Miss Manhattan,” immortalized in marble and bronze, and became the first woman to appear fully nude in an American film. But behind the fame was a haunting story of exploitation, scandal, and tragedy. In this episode, we uncover how the woman who embodied beauty and art became forgotten by history — living her final decades in an asylum, her legacy hidden in plain sight on city streets.

Sarah Gammon Bickford was the first Black woman in the United States to own a public utility. Born into slavery in Tennessee in 1852, Sarah's early life was marked by hardship, resilience, and a determination to carve out her own destiny. After emancipation, she moved west to Virginia City, Montana—where she reinvented herself in a place few African American women dared to go. Sarah's story is one of reinvention and quiet revolution. From running a boarding house and candy store to taking ownership of Virginia City's water company, she became a respected entrepreneur in a male-dominated frontier town. Along the way, she raised a family, overcame personal losses, and turned the hot springs and waterworks into symbols of both survival and success.
