Leader of French Far Right political party National Rally, Marine Le Pen has become Pres. Macron's biggest threat, and is part of the dangerous wave of Far Right extremism across the West. Why is the West going gay for fascism? Are things ever going to feel ok again? A story of hope from Thomasville, Alabama, talking elephants, and a quick note on Le Guin w/ Janaya Future Khan

Project 2025 is so Far Right and far reaching it sounds cartoonishly evil. Eliminate all access to abortion AND birth control? Destroy public education, go on a capital punishment murder spree, deport every immigrant and Muslim, ban all access to trans care and ppl? Etcetera. No way, right? But we thought the same of Trump. Now we understand the threat he represents, and billionaire extremists see the opportunity in it. UGH. Learn about Project 2025, be annoyed that we're here, and get the playbook we need to win w/ Janaya Future Khan.

Should students be punished for protesting on school campus? Jk. We all know tuition fees and being alive in this timeline is punishment enough.

Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's next president and its first woman leader (very cool) in more than 200 years of independence, became a beacon of hope almost overnight, but will it hold up in the areas that need it most (maybe less cool)? Mexico and the US work side by side, how will this impact the Dems + the border? And here's to you, the originals, the Penguins, the Sunday Sermon homies, a shout out, and the story of how we got here - w/ Janaya Future Khan

It might be funny as hell (or maybe funny and hell?), but does Trump's guilty verdict actually make a difference for the fight ahead? And why is everyone talking about Caitlin Clark getting beat up more than her balling? We talk democracy, the WNBA, and take a question from our listeners.
