In an unsurprising move, the 6-3 radicalized conservative Supreme Court, has decided to screw precedent and overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 law that legalized abortion in the United States. While the decision hasn't officially been made, a leaked document from the SCOTUS reveals in a lengthy 98-pages all the reasons nothing is off the table for Republicans moving forward. So, what will Democrats response be?!? Co-hosts Danielle and Wajahat discuss on this episode of #democracyish

The extremist GOP cult has a series of new fetishes that shouldn't be laughed off--why? Because they all stem from a place of white male fragility that often leads to expressions of masculinity through acts of violence. From Tucker Carlson's new "documentary" to the attacks by DeSantis on abortion--nothing that the GOP is doing is a laughing matter, so why aren't Democrats punching back? All this and more on this week's democracy-ish

For the last several weeks Republicans have ratcheted up their attacks against Democrats and their latest assault--referring to Democrats as pedophiles. Funny thing is the Republican Party protests a little much. From Roy Moore to Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump their party is filled with pedophiles and sexual abusers. So, why aren't Democrats fighting back?!? We discuss this and more on this week's #democracyish

In 1963 in a Letter from a Birmingham Jail Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. warned America about the biggest stumbling block to justice--not the KKK, but the white moderate who is more interested in "order" than in justice. 60 years later his warning couldn't ring more true as we watch the current administration's agenda be torpedoed not by Republicans but the supposed white moderates in the Senate. What will it take for Democrats to step up?!? Danielle and Wajahat discuss on this episode of #democracyish

Putin is waging war in Ukraine forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes as life as they know it--and yet some that are fleeing, namely African immigrants and immigrants of color are being traumatized TWICE--from

the horrors of war and the horrors of global anti-Blackness and discrimination. We discuss the responsibility of white mainstream journalism and whether their newsrooms are up to the task at hand--humanizing ALL fleeing war not just those with blonde hair and blue eyes.

With 8 months until midterm elections and active threats from the Republican Party for retaliation if former President Trump is indicted and clear indication that they have no desire to govern. Why can't Democrats put together a cohesive message about what is at stake in midterms? Why do we continue to cede ground to Republicans who haven't had an agenda or plan for America since 2016?!? Why is this so hard? Waj and Danielle bring in reinforcements for this much needed convo. Author of Don't Buy It: The Trouble with Talking Nonsense about the Economy and communications consultant Anat Shenker-Osorio joins #democracyish
