Ready for A Night In? Join Tabby and Kate as they take a break from discussing history and instead engage in a discourse about the difficulties of participating in local politics. A key focus of the episode is the importance of voting at the community level while acknowledging some of the barriers voters face while trying to navigate local politics. 

Episode Guide:

00:00-04:59 Commentary on what is happening. 

05:00 We get to the point of the show. Voting gives you the ability to enact change, but turnout for local elections is small. Why is this? What can we do to change this issue? 

08:00 Omari Hardy stands up for the people of Lake Worth 

10:00 Killer Mike says vote out politicians you don't like, but this can be very difficult. Many local politicians run unopposed. This is why it is important to always pay attention and when your window of opportunity arises, take it! 

13:00 How do you know if judges are working in the interest of the community? In PBC the bar association holds a judicial review that evaluates the performance of judges. 

17:00 Local Newspapers do a lot of heavy lifting for you when you are trying to navigate your local politics. 

20:00 Don't forget: Mayors and County Execs work a lot with local police (appoint police chiefs; negotiate police unions; enact police review boards) 

22:00 State Attorney are elected into office. Are they holding police and city officials to account?

Ready for A Night In? Grab a beverage and join Tabby and Kate as they talk about current and historical power consolidation.

02:20 Freedom of speech is at risk all over the world 

03:15 The Trump Administration does not like the freedom of information act 

03:55 Ways leaders consolidate power: loyal base of follower, payment and favors to followers, limit freedom of speech and silence those who oppose you…

07:00 Western democracy, an intellectual contagion… Thanks Napoleon

11:00 The monarchy collapses and the Duma declares a provisional government, which unfortunately was committed to a vastly unpopular war… guess its time for a revolution! 

13:00 Stalin builds a web on influence throughout Eastern Europe and slowly replaces politicians in those counties with soviet leaders and before anyone knows it, BAM communism. 

14:00 So you should be afraid of Russia. Why? Misinformation campaigns.

03:00 Who, After all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians? Who said it? Why?

Ready for A Night In? Join Tabby and Kate as they talk about why the Census is important. 

00:45 May you live in interesting times… and an explanation   

02:25 Every vote counts and every count votes… by extension of their votes in the electoral college, which is dictated by census results

03:55 In 2010, over 1 million children under the age of 5 were not counted in the census

05:45 You cannot be deported for filling out the census. Census data cannot be used against you. Ever. 

06:20 Fighting rumors about how your census data can be used 

08:00 The cost analysis of a population miscount 

09:00 History of the census 

10:55 US census of 1790: each state can have representatives, but Native Americans cannot count as people… and enslaved peoples only count as 3/5th of a person… 

11:50 Abolitionists use census data to prove that the populations of enslaved peoples was on the rise, thus furthering arguments against slavery. 

12:40 Imperial England attempts to administer a census in India 

14:30 England influences the Indian caste system 

17:30 Census information helps health providers predict the spread of diseases through communities with children or elderly people. And when disasters hit, the census tells rescuers how many people will need their help.
