Black Post-Grad NOW WHAT?

We discuss and scream about the continued inaction of elected officials on gun violence in the wake of the mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo. We tried to burn somethings but ended up having a discussion on the Depp vs. Heard case and verdict.

We chat about the growing number of laws passed in GOP run states that target women, LGBTQ+ folks and to be fair anyone who is not white, straight and cis. It is concerning how quickly civil rights that were fought for are being wrestled away. What can be done about it and why are Dems not pushing back?

We discuss the SCOTUS confirmation hearings and what Judge Jackson's historic nomination means for the country and for us. We also touch on how Judge Jackson was harangued by the GOP while showing pose and despite their best efforts it appears that Judge Jackson will be a supreme court justice by Easter.  Maybe we do get to have nice things! 

Well... We had to discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we try to not be alarmist but it was late and restraint was lacking.  Putin's war is vicious and a threat us all. How can the "West" respond without escalating the conflict? Is there an off ramp for Putin? Listen to us lamant the current state of affairs and look for a grain of hope.

We are BACK, HAPPY NEW YEAR & HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH! We discuss the 2021 attemped coup and one year on Biden. We laugh and rage and that's what you came for?
