Responding to the barrage of rumors and lies Trump has been circulating about voter fraud and mail-in-voting, Mirena and Briana discuss the truth about voter fraud, the potential for a democracy doomsday, and the hope they are holding on to in these dark times.

Over 100 straight days of protests have taken place in Portland. Do you know what's really been happening? Mirena and Briana welcome Katie, who has been actively protesting in Portland, Oregon. They discuss the reason for the continuing protests, the federal occupation of the city, "militia" activity, and the things about the protests that give Katie hope.

In an attempt to scare people into supporting him, Trump is using the "defund the police" rallying cry of this summer's BLM protests to paint a vivid picture of lawlessness and chaos. Mirena and Briana discuss what it would actually mean to defund the police and why we would all (even police themselves) actually be safer if we did it.

Mirena and Briana touch on white supremacy, patriarchy, sex and some other fun stuff in this episode about Cardi B's new song WAP--which is making quite a splash (pun intended) among lots of loud mouthed men who can't handle women owning their own sexuality.
