It’s that time again! Our CA Prop Guide is here! It covers all seven state-wide props with our usual mix of panache and…mild irritation. Feel free to share this guide far and wide because, look, nobody has time to research all the motherf*ing props this state throws at us.
We've put together a handy cheat sheet for the California propositions on the ballot this November so you can earn that "I Voted" sticker!
A standalone version of the Jill Stein interview and rally segment from last week's podcast.
A list of websites that can help you identify downticket races to get involved in.
Green party candidate for president Jill Stein. Democrats believe she’s the Yoko Ono of the presidential race. Donald Trump believes she’s...yet another faceless disgusting woman who probably has periods. Both major parties would like you to think she’s some sort of dreadlock-y hippie that isn’t worth your time. If corporate shills and/or flat out insane people aren’t your cup of tea, join us as we meet our first of the two major third party candidates and dive a little deeper into this thing called democracy!
Kristin Urquiza from Marked By Covid joins us to talk about advocacy, public health policy, and the pandemic (surprise! It’s not over!) And, even by Florida’s own insane metrics, the FL legislature was up to some pretty horrible antics this week. Plus, is it the end of the Iowa Caucus? Is Brent still mad at Joe Bident about going back to the office? Is Donald Trump spinning all the gay anthems at Mar-a-Lago? Listen to find out!
Dakota Hall, Executive Director of Alliance for Youth Action, joins us to talk about the youth vote, the State of the Union address, and to inform us (much to our horror) that children born in the year of our lord 2010 are almost teenagers. So…that’s a lot to think about, friends. A LOT TO THINK ABOUT. It’s a great episode and we think you’re really going to love it!
Your favorite political podcast is back with all of the non-political, Olympic news you can handle! But just because we’re in the golden age of ice dancing doesn’t mean we don’t have time to remind you that the jobs numbers are fake, that Joe Biden is a nightmare, and that our new excuse for everything in life is that we are just ordinary citizens engaged in legitimate political discourse. Enjoy!
We took some time off for the holidays and to get Covid, but now we’re BACK for year 3 of 2020. And to help us celebrate our return, we have a very special guest, Carissa Byrne Hessick (@cbhessick), law professor at University of North Carolina. We’ll chat plea bargains, January 6th, and Elizabeth Holmes. Then, Lila and Brent take on the problem(s) with the administration’s covid response, and the insanity of making teacher’s unions the bad guys. Don’t miss this supersized episode!
What a blast we had chatting with healthcare activist and Executive Director of Health Care Voter, Laura Packard! We discuss what’s left in the Build Back Better bill, and what Democrats can do to move the ball forward on healthcare in the wake of this week’s election results in Virginia, and leading into next year’s midterms. It’s a fun and substantive conversation, so don’t miss it!
Well friends, it was DEFINITELY infrastructure week, but surprise…still no bills to show for it. However, what we do have to show for it is perhaps even more exciting: a cohesive Congressional Progressive Caucus that has finally realized that it has some power. We’ll take a deep dive into what happened this week, plus an overview of how we got here. It’s one you won’t want to miss!
First thing’s first: BUY LILA’S BOOK, ‘Some Kids Left Behind,’ anywhere you’re getting your books these days. Now that we’ve covered that…we’re back with a rant-filled, thrill-ride of an episode! First, we’ll tell you all of the reasons to vote “No” on the Newsom recall, and why not one of those reasons has anything to do with Dianne Feinstein. Plus, we’ll chat infrastructure (surprise!), Cuomo, exciting census data, Afghanistan and more! Don’t miss it.
