THE POD JIHAD HAS GATHERED. Coming in hot in advance of their Bollywood debut, we have sex educator and abortion access activist Anqa Khan . Along with the classic Moji-Marie ensemble, they take on Florida’s TRAP law bullshit going after minors, the performative joke that was the State of the Union, and the outright lies abortion reversal spokespeople push. Spoiler alert: abortion is still legal. 

GATHERED IN THE SLEEPER CELL
