The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 263: Death — The Final Misdirection
The Boredwalk Podcast
Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez from the Boredwalk content team recap recent events in U.S. politics and policy and discuss the novel methods the regime is using to evade calls to release the Epstein Files, as well as JD Vance's pathetic obsequiousness as he licks his chops at the prospect of assuming the presidential mantle. It's truly impressive that he's able to walk upright with so little spine. Our hosts move on to less consequential examples of misdirection and distraction, like relocating the headquarters of the U.S. "Space Force" (insert eye roll here), various legal...

The Boredwalk Podcast
The Boredwalk content team of Ansley Hutchinson, Tess Menzies, and Gabe Sanchez is back to discuss the so-called "soft secession" that is allegedly being discussed privately among the Democratic governors of certain majority-Democrat (aka "blue") states in response to the Trump regime's increasingly divisive and authoritarian policies and how that potential fracturing of the Union may take shape. We also revisit the topic of gerrymandering, the chaotic and economically damaging tariff policies and their contribution to the growing isolationist stance of the U.S. in relation to long-standing...

The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 260: Marriage Equality AND Democracy At Risk!?!
The Boredwalk Podcast
Ansley is back in the driver's seat of the Boredwalk Podcast, and she is FIRED UP about MAGA's latest assaults on civil liberties — particularly long-forgotten serially divorced sister-wife Kim Davis's return to the national spotlight to resume her bigoted crusade to overturn the U.S. Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that legalized same-sex marriage at the federal level. Ugh, give it up, you pathetic hose beast! Take your deviled eggs of hate back to your tacky double-wide hovel, stop being so obsessed with what other people do in their private lives, and do something...

The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 259: Gerrymandering Mania!
The Boredwalk Podcast
This week Boredwalk co-founders Matt & Meredith fill in for Ansley & Gabe and join Tess to discuss Texas's gerrymandering shenanigans and the countermeasures that California and other majority Democrat states are proposing to neutralize this grotesque power grab. This leads into a conversation about the much-needed shift in attitude and tactics by Democratic leadership away from adhering to institutional norms in order to "take the high road" and instead meet Republican legislators at their own level (i.e., the gutter). We also check in on the continued very illegal and morally...

The Boredwalk Podcast Episode 254: Big Beautiful Boondoggle
The Boredwalk Podcast
This week on the Boredwalk Podcast Tess Menzies, Gabe Sanchez, and Boredwalk co-founder Meredith Erin discuss the GOP's reckless "Big Beautiful Bill" (AKA "Big Bloated Bill"). MAGA Republicans are adding to the federal deficit at unprecedented scale to fund their racist attacks on immigrants and Latinos while simultaneously actively harming U.S. citizens more broadly via Medicaid cuts that have already led to hospital & clinic closures in rural areas. We talk about the obscene spending on Trump's "Alligator Alcatraz" concentration camp (AKA Alligator Auschwitz) and the human rights...
info_outlineWe're back with another mini-episode! Tess Menzies & Ansley Hutchinson from Boredwalk's content team share some actionable ways that U.S. citizens who are unhappy with the way the new regime is operating can stand up against encroaching fascism. These include:
• Voting! Not just every four years during presidential elections, but in local and midterm elections whenever they pop up! None of this "mY vOtE dOeSn'T mAtTeR" nonsense.
Live in a deep blue area and think your vote isn't "needed"? WRONG! Run up the score! Make it crystal clear to supporters of "the other candidate(s)" that their ideas and priorities are unpopular.
Live in a deep red area and think there's no way your vote can sway things? WRONG! Make the elected officials who win aware that their constituency isn't monolithic and that you and your likeminded voters expect a seat at the table, regardless of the electoral outcome!
• Coalition building! Stop in-fighting and purity testing! Find common ground with the folks you disagree with least and form a coalition with them to tackle the biggest problems that you DO agree on!
• Be media literate! Don't get sucked into arguments with bots and human trolls. It saps your energy and makes you feel like the other side is bigger than it is. Every social platform has mute, block, or restrict features. Use them to your advantage.
• Talk openly and proudly about your values and how bad policies are directly impacting you and the people you care about. This helps turn the tide as far as approval ratings and gets other people fired up and engaged.
Our co-hosts then read and respond to some recent social media comments on Boredwalk's posts, as well as a recent product review from a customer.
Things wrap up with Tess, Ansley, and Meredith trading personal anecdotes sparked by questions from our Delve Deck conversation card sets! They share which habits other people have that are annoying from the Venting Edition, and their favorite things on the internet from the Joy Edition.
We're so pleased to be spending time in your ear balls. Come commiserate & laugh at the hellscape with us!
