GENERATION INVINCIBLE – Public Health ✓ Healthcare Policy ✓ Social Justice ✓

Donald Trump has said some pretty horrific things about women during the course of his campaign. But it all came to a head when a 2005 recording of Trump and Billy Bush was released. On the audio clip, Trump discusses sexually assaulting women in part due to his celebrity status, all the while with Bush egging him on. Today's episode, "No, I'm A Gentleman," explores the implications of this kind of behavior from a presidential candidate, and the dangers today surrounding sexual assault and gender inequality in the United States.

As of the day this podcast was first posted, Judge Merrick Garland will have been waiting 194 days since his nomination to the Supreme Court. Judicial nominations and appointments - or lack thereof - is a huge problem, especially now. And who do we have to blame? The Senate, who has time and time again decided not to do their job. Join Generation Invincible today as we discuss why we need to tell the Senate to #DoYourJob, the merits of Merrick, and why a 9th member of the Supreme Court is essential.

This week, in the environment of animosity and violence towards African Americans from police in the United States, Generation Invincible is taking on... INSTITUTIONALIZED RACISM!

In this episode, I face the truth (get it?) and criminalizing the hustle and informal employment, police shootings of blacks vs whites, the history of institutionalized racism and segregation, how both of those things still exist, and broken window policing. Most importantly, today's episode honors the memory of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling, and the many more that have been killed as a result of police brutality towards African Americans.
