Democracy-ish is a podcast dedicated to fighting for democracy and preserving your sanity in a time when both are under active assault by forces committed to white supremacy and stupidity. For far too long our body politic has been viewed through an all white prism that does not represent the multiracial nation that is the United States of America. Hosts Danielle Moodie and Wajahat Ali always keep it real, blunt and entertaining as they discuss how we can achieve a multiracial democracy and cover all the ground left behind by mainstream media and seek to make sense out of the nonsense.

The Black Republican Grift

This week 7 amazing humanitarians from the World Central Kitchen were killed by Israeli forces. They shared their location and coordinated with the IDF and still that didn't matter. Netanyahu's response "well, that happens in war"--no actually it doesn't! Wajahat and Danielle unpack the latest on the Israeli war and ask when will we see a breaking point?!?
