November 03, 2023 Democracy-ish (trailer)
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.

November 02, 2023 Where is Our Humanity?
We have entered week 3 of the war in Israel. Thousands have been killed. 1400 Israelis and by the time of this recording 9K+ Palestinians and counting--thousands of them children. This world can't bomb its way or kidnap its way to peace. The polls are showing that more Americans are on the side of saving humanity than extinguishing it--and Biden's recent numbers show that his decision to ignore these deaths and continue to send billions in bombs to Israel is falling flat--across America. So, where do we go from here? Oh, and did we mention we have a new evil Speaker of the House?!? Danielle and Waj discuss this and more on this week's democracyish!

October 12, 2023 Holding Tight to OUR Humanity.
This week has weighed heavy on the spirit and soul of the world. To watch death, destruction and devastation reign down on our screens is soul crushing. There are no two sides to humanity. Humanity has no religion, no gender, no sexual orientation, no "both sides"; but propaganda does. Danielle and Waj discuss what is weighing heavy on our spirits in this week's democracyish.
