On today's jam packed episode of democracyish Wajahat and Danielle delve into the Michigan primaries and the 100K ballots cast for "uncommitted" by Muslim Americans angered by the Biden Administration's full throated support for Israel without showcasing the same empathy and compassion for Palestinians. We also discuss Aaron Bushnell's extreme act of protest against the war and the media blackout. Then to round out the show we chat with investigative reporter Mosi Secret about his new 8-episode podcast series on Imam Jamil Al-Amin, the FBI and cointelpro.

Committed to a Real Democracy

Democracy-ish is a podcast dedicated to fighting for democracy and preserving your sanity in a time when both are under active assault by forces committed to white supremacy and stupidity. For far too long our body politic has been viewed through an all white prism that does not represent the multiracial nation that is the United States of America. Hosts Danielle Moodie and Wajahat Ali always keep it real, blunt and entertaining as they discuss how we can achieve a multiracial democracy and cover all the ground left behind by mainstream media and seek to make sense out of the nonsense.

The Unearned Rage of the Alitos

"Model Minorities" for Genocide?

How many more red flags do Americans need to see before they realize this election isn't a game? Or one they can just sit out? This week Donald J. Trump reshared an ad that mentioned a "United Reich" that isn't a typo-- it's straight Hitler talk. Waj and Danielle discuss this and more on this week's democracyish!

A Democracy or a Reich!

It seems like the final stage of the Trump cult has been completed. This week members of the Republican Party showed up clad in their best Trump ensembles ready to do their master's bidding in front of the court house. Incredible where we are when members of congress leave their jobs to go defend their candidate who's caught up in an election interference case with a porn star! Wild times friends... and Waj and Danielle dig into all of this and more on the next democracyish!
