Plugged In Pissed Off: New Year, New Midterms


Listen Later

In this episode, Joselle and Beatrice delve into the pressing issues of 2026, focusing on the aggressive tactics employed by ICE and federal agencies that target communities rooted in historical oppression. They discuss recent efforts aimed at disenfranchising youth voters, particularly on HBCU and college campuses across North Carolina, and highlight the importance of voter protection in the 2026 Midterms. They also discuss the potential impact of the "Make Elections Great Again" act and recent FBI raids on election offices.
