Is Taylor Swift political? Some say no — but her lyrics tell a different story. In this episode, we’re taking a deep dive into Taylor Swift’s most political songs — 16 tracks that span themes of feminism, power, religion, LGBTQ+ rights, and resistance. From gaslighting and double standards to purity culture, political despair, and queer visibility — Taylor’s songs are more than breakups and fairytales. They’re cultural critiques, whispered protests, and sometimes, battle cries. If you’ve ever been told Taylor’s music “isn’t that deep,” this is the episode to send them. 

RFK Jr. is back with another dangerous claim — this time saying that Tylenol causes autism. Not acetaminophen, not evidence-based science — but Tylenol, the brand name. And here’s why that matters: Tylenol is the only safe, widely recommended pain reliever for pregnant women. Which means this misinformation isn’t just sloppy — it’s cruel. It’s another attack on women’s health.

At the end of the day, this isn’t just about Tylenol. It’s about power, autonomy, and whether women’s suffering is treated as inevitable — or as something worth taking seriously.

What if I told you states are using maps like power plays—drawing lines not for fairness, but for political survival? That’s gerrymandering. In this episode of For Love & Justice, I break down what gerrymandering is, why it matters, and how California and Texas are battling it out over redistricting. From Texas Republicans aiming for five extra House seats to Gavin Newsom going full Trump on Twitter, these fights will shape U.S. politics for the next decade.

In this episode of For Love & Justice, I’m unpacking not just the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, but the explosive reactions that followed. Why did this one act dominate the feeds while other tragedies barely registered? What does the rush to blame reveal about the culture we’ve built—where outrage is currency and projection replaces truth?

I talk about:

-The immediate politicization of Kirk’s death

-Why selective empathy fuels division

-How projection drives false narratives

-The role of social media and echo chambers in radicalization

-What it takes to resist outrage culture and build something better

I’m not here to dissect the crime itself—I’m here to look at what our reactions say about us right now, and why it matters for the future of our democracy.

Gerrymandering vs. Voter Suppression: what’s the difference? And why do they matter for our democracy?

This week’s episode breaks down how maps are manipulated, how access to the ballot is restricted, and why both strategies tilt elections. Plus—what we can do to fight back.

From rescue stories to black cat myths to why adoption matters — join me (and my furbabies!) for a cozy, heartfelt dive into animal advocacy. Today’s episode is a little different — and a lot furrier. I’m joined by my very special co-hosts: my rescue cat Lazarus, my gentle pup Ginger, and my chaos-loving ferret Mochi. Together, we’re diving into the messy, magical, and meaningful world of animal advocacy and adoption.

✨ What we cover in this episode:

The origin stories of Laz, Ginger, and Mochi (and the life lessons they’ve taught me 🐕🐈🦦)

Why adopt don’t shop matters — and how adoption saves lives

The tough stuff: vet bills, underfunded shelters, and misinformation about “difficult” animals (pit bulls, ferrets, black cats & more)

The JOY animals bring: from emotional support to the literal healing power of a cat’s purr

How loving animals is also an act of justice, compassion, and everyday care

📊 Quick stats: In 2024, 5.8 million cats and dogs entered U.S. shelters. 4.2 million were adopted, but over 600,000 were euthanized due to lack of space and resources. Adoption, fostering, and advocacy truly make a difference.

🐾 How you can help: Adopt or foster from a shelter near you

Donate or volunteer at local rescues (many have Amazon wishlists!)

Support community spaces like cat cafés that partner with shelters (shoutout Gibson’s Cat Café in Conway, AR!)

In this episode, we’re recapping the stories you might’ve missed in July — the ones that slipped through the cracks of your algorithm but still matter. From Harry Styles selling out vibrators and Travis Kelce feeding the Swifties, to WNBA players demanding equal pay and Ms. Rachel shutting down billionaire worship, the “love” portion of this roundup is just the beginning.

We’re also getting into the thick of it: Donald Trump’s bizarre war on late-night television, his bragging about getting Colbert fired, and his sudden boost in net worth thanks to selling everything from dogecoin to Bibles. Meanwhile, twelve states are pushing for Congressional term limits, a judge just made it easier for medical debt to tank your credit score, and rural Arkansas is in crisis — with hospitals at risk of closing, health insurance rates spiking, education funding delayed, and even the National Weather Service cutting back.

We talk Trump, Epstein, and the far-right group trying to establish a whites-only community in Arkansas — while the state’s attorney general scrambles to clean up the mess. Also: Hailee Shoffner is running against Tom Cotton for Senate in 2026, and we are absolutely here for it.

Washington State just passed a law requiring clergy to report suspected child abuse—even if it’s revealed in confession. The Catholic Church calls it a violation of religious freedom, and Trump labeled it “anti-Catholic.” Is it a necessary safeguard or an unconstitutional overreach?

I’m joined by my friend and devout Catholic, Chris Eden, to break it all down—from legal implications to faith-based tensions. We also dive into Trump’s rhetoric, Catholic voter misconceptions, and how the Church can balance confession with child protection.

Today we’re talking billion-dollar jets, billion-page bills, and about a billion bad decisions — with a dash of June Gemini chaos and cucumber safety, of course.

In this episode, I break down the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” — a 1,000-page disaster passed by the House that basically takes from the poor to give to the rich. Even Elon Musk called it an abomination, and Marjorie Taylor Greene regrets voting for it (which should tell you everything). From permanent tax cuts for the wealthy to bans on gender-affirming care and Medicaid work requirements, it’s Robin Hood in reverse.

We also cover some wins — including a judge blocking Trump’s order to abolish the Department of Education and Oklahoma stopping the country’s first religious charter school — and some deeply dystopian updates, like a braindead woman in Georgia being kept alive to carry a pregnancy to term.

Oh, and Trump just accepted a $400 million jet from Qatar. Casual. We’re talking corruption, capitalism, food safety (don’t eat the cucumbers), and why it makes perfect astrological sense that the man is a Gemini.

It’s a chaotic week. But not a hopeless one.
