justUS
The only thing Republicans fear more than women, are women who wish to make their own choices about their bodies & reproductive health: in this episode, Margo & Tashira join us to discuss the many attacks Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance has been making towards Democrats, and Democrat women in particular (especially those who wish to make their own choices about their reproductive health.) How do we weather these attacks on our well-being, and protect ourselves during these campaigns given the constant onslaught and doubling-down on all things misogynistic that the right wing...

Kamala Harris May not Be "The Perfect Candidate" but she May be Perfect to Beat Fascism
justUS
In this episode, Margo & Tashira further discuss the new developments which have led to Kamala Harris being the new nominee for President for the Democratic Party. While Kamala may not be "The Perfect Candidate" for all aspects of the party, she may still be the perfect candidate to defeat Donald Trump. Given the stakes of this election, it has given us pause about using the system as it is currently in place, with all its flaws, to create change...when we know that historically, this tends not to work, particularly for marginalized voices. *Pleaes note that this episode was recorded...
