An activist was murdered outside of Atlanta trying to protect the Weelaunee Forest from the development of a police training ground. Why aren't we hearing more about it? Fellow organizer Micah Herskind joins Francesca to explain what Cop City is and the depths of the corruption surrounding its construction. And Akela Lacy, politics reporter for The Intercept, joins to talk about the double-speaking Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Ilhan Omar being kicked off the House Foreign Affairs Committee. She might've been booted by Republicans, but not before Democrats had previously undermined her. Finally, the beautiful big Chinese spy balloon has been shot down. Was it the right move and how have we been forever changed.

Killer Cop City with Akela Lacy & Micah Herskind (Ep 168)

A weekly caucus of progressive comics, activists and thinkers hosted by Francesca Fiorentini

Comedy

News

Government

News Commentary

Remember when Republicans were going to "IMEACH BIDEN"? Whatever 
happened to that? Sam Seder of The Majority Report joins to explain the 
indicted informant, the 1023, and the absence of evidence not being 
evidence of absence or whatever Rumsfeld used to say. Then, Iran's 
strike on Israel has us all wondering if we're on the brink of WW3 and 
whether Biden has finally reached his limit with genocide. Then, Javier 
Milei and Elon Musk have a meeting of minds and dicks in Austin and we 
try and imagine "a worse duo."

RO KHANNA HAD TO DIP TO VOTE, HE WILL BE ON FRIDAY'S 4/19 SHOW!

Impeachment Interrupted with Sam Seder (Ep 227)

The rich coalesce around their bronzed boy in November, out of fear they would pay a cent more in taxes, despite having more money than God. Francesca breaks down just how and why the tax code is so skewed in billionaires' favor in an edition of "Class War." And comedian DeAnne Smith joins to talk about AI genocide and the attacks on DEI. Then journalist Arun Gupta breaks down the Israeli first responder/propagandists The Zaka Group, and why the story of "mass rapes" have been debunked but never retracted. Fun!

Israel's war crimes threaten to drag the U.S. into a hot wars in the Middle East, while a TikTok ban sparks a tech Cold War with China. Journalist and author Jacob Silverman joins Francesca to explain why a TikTok forced sale misses the mark on data safety while putting us on a path to a hostile future with China. Add to that the fact that a right-wing billionaire might be a buyer and the whole thing is a mess for average people. Then comedian Gianmarco Soresi on the blacklisting in entertainment over criticizing Israel, and why far right podcasters who've dabbled in anti-semitic conspiracy theories are now calling Israel's actions a genocide. Speaking of conspiracy theories, how bout that solar eclipse? What will happen...?
