  • No He Can't with Prem Thakker & Caitlin Durante (Ep 238)

    No He Can't with Prem Thakker & Caitlin Durante (Ep 238)
    Jul 3 2024
    Democrats are scrambling after Biden's terrifyingly bad debate performance. And SCOTUS delivers for Donald, offering him and other presidents absolute immunity for crimes committed while acting "in official" capacity. Comedian Caitlin Durante of The Bechdel Cast and journalist with The Intercept Prem Thakker join Francesca to discuss. Plus, after months of promising investigations into Israeli war crimes, the Biden Administration has done little except running cover for them. Prem explains what it's like to try and hold the State Department accountable for just one of the many atrocities: the murder of 6-year-old Hind Rajab and her family. Finally, a necessary game of "What's Good" where we all decide to watch Paddington.

  • Losing Puerto Rico *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY JUNE 28TH*

    Losing Puerto Rico *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY JUNE 28TH*
    Jun 29 2024
    Puerto Rico is nearly unlivable for Puerto Ricans. After decades of exploitation and natural disasters, it seems like the U.S. territory (*cough colony!*) is now completely at the whim of crypto billionaires, money launderers and American tax evaders. Co-directors of forthcoming documentary Losing Puerto Rico, Nomiki Konst and Federico de Jesus break down how an unelected economic board and American tax policies have led to a massive housing crisis and skyrocketing prices. Puerto Rico is no longer for Puerto Ricans. Call or write your Congressperson about ending Article 22 and go to www.losingpuertorico.com to follow the film and the campaign. *** Watch more from the forthcoming documentary on YouTube: Losing Homeland - How a Speculators and Tax Cheats are Stealing Puerto Rico https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6K2SxZNxGQ Puerto Rico's Act 22 Tax Evaders: PROMISES NOT KEPT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dxCOj8BBGQ Stop Rich Outsiders & Crypto From Taking Over Puerto Rico!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5p9qSaLJS1g *** Frantastic Fridays on The Bitchuation Room are free to watch.

  • Union Power for Palestine with Linda Sarsour & Anny Viloria Winnett (Ep 237)

    Union Power for Palestine with Linda Sarsour & Anny Viloria Winnett (Ep 237)
    Jun 25 2024
    "We have a right to say Free Palestine," says Anny of UAW 4811, the labor union representing 48,000 grad students and researchers who are tired of their universities allowing Palestine encampments to be brutalized. She joins Francesca along with the always on point Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour. Linda has some hard truths for Joe Biden and about this election season as the cry for a ceasefire continues. Finally a fun look at all the ways Trump fundraising is sounding less like a campaign and more like a fuck boy whining for your wallet. ** Francesca and Matt Lieb Are In Chicago for the DNC!
