In this week's episode, Seli doesn't know how to pronounce anything and Merry was really excited about knowing the WRONG dates of World War 1, but even so, we hope we explained the Israel and Palestine conflict well. Donate here and here if you can and follow us on Instagram and Twitter and on our website, if you're trying to stay educated. 

In this solo episode, Merry takes on unpacking the history of Oromo people in Ethiopia and why it's okay to have a different opinion than your parents. Follow our Instagram and Twitter to stay informed and see you next week!  

Not going to lie, we went off on this one-- literally. This week's episode borders a rant but it's totally worth the listen to understand why Trump lying or the presidency even matters at all, the Trump administration's quiet dismantling and overlooking of so many social issues and most importantly, how the 2020 election directly impacts you as a student. We mentioned the Green New Deal sponsored by AOC and Hasan Minhaj's Patriot Act episode on Civil Rights (Season 2, Episode 4). Oh and follow our Insta and Twitter to keep up with election news until November. 

Trigger warning: this episode focuses on sexual assault on college campuses, rape culture and why Title IX doesn't actually protect victims. Check out our Instagram and Twitter for more updates and resources. Stay safe. 

Another week, another podcast episode and this week, we covered police training and qualifications, what defunding the police really means, how education is the key to solving institutionalized racism and voter suppression. We know. It's a lot, but its worth the listen! Follow us @fckthepress on Instagram and Twitter for more content this week and visit our website for our weekly articles.
