In this episode of UnWrapped, I sit down to talk plainly about the cruelty and chaos unfolding under this administration—from the deadly flash floods in Texas, to the Epstein investigation’s quiet closure, to the inhumane migrant camp in the Everglades they're calling "Alligator Alcatraz." This isn’t conspiracy—it’s policy. And it’s costing lives.

We’ve seen this before. And for those just waking up to the weight of it all—I say welcome. Now let’s rise together.

Trump just launched airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear sites—and Congress didn’t approve any of it. In this episode, I break down exactly how we got here, starting with Israel’s attack on Iran, why the U.S. had no business getting involved, and how Trump is following the authoritarian playbook step by step.

We’ll talk about Tulsi Gabbard’s sworn testimony that Iran wasn’t building nuclear weapons, how Netanyahu likely played Trump like a fiddle, and what this escalating conflict could mean for democracy here at home.

This isn’t just foreign policy—it’s a setup. And it’s one we need to stop before it’s too late.

→ Call your representatives. → Share this episode. → Stay in this fight.

Democracy won’t defend itself—we have to.

What does martial law really mean—and why does it keep popping up in moments of protest? In this episode, we break down the truth behind military crackdowns in America, from the Pullman Strike to Lafayette Square, and why the federal response to recent protests in L.A. should have everybody on alert. Spoiler: This isn’t new. And it’s not about “keeping you safe.”

If you’re riding with me on this journey to break down authoritarian creep, stop right now and leave a review for the show. It’s the best way to help this work grow and to keep these conversations front and center where they belong.

I’m bringing receipts, I’m bringing history, and I’m bringing solutions. Let’s go.

In this episode of UnWrapped, your host Tasha Pierce is cracking open the real story behind a recent headline that should have us all concerned — the U.S. Naval Academy quietly removing nearly 400 books from its library shelves because they were labeled “divisive.” Tasha dives into what this really means, why it matters, and how censorship disguised as “protection” is shaping a dangerous narrative.

From Maya Angelou to civil rights history, these banned books tell stories that reflect the full scope of our shared experience. And when those stories get silenced, we all lose. Tasha takes you on a powerful ride through pop culture parallels like Fahrenheit 451 and The Handmaid’s Tale, then brings it home with real-world action steps you can take to push back.

If you care about freedom, education, and the right to know, this is your episode.

👊🏽 Let's talk truth. Let’s talk resistance. Let’s get UnWrapped.

Unwrapped with Latasha Pierce delivers a no-holds-barred analysis of the week's most controversial topics in politics, technology, and social justice. In this fiery episode, Tasha dives into Elon Musk's manipulation of his AI chatbot Grok, exposing how it was programmed to spread white genocide conspiracy theories about South Africa. She connects this to Trump's controversial acceptance of South African "refugees" while deporting brown immigrants, highlighting the administration's glaring hypocrisies. Tasha also discusses the disturbing reality of Kristi Noem pitching immigrant citizenship as a reality TV competition and the heartbreaking case of Adriana Smith—a brain-dead pregnant woman whose family cannot remove life support due to abortion restrictions. With her signature blend of sharp analysis and passionate commentary, Tasha Pierce breaks down how these seemingly separate issues reveal the disturbing racist and sexist underpinnings of the current political landscape.

In this episode of UnWrapped, we’re breaking down the concept of Inalienable Rights — what they are, where they come from, and why they matter now more than ever. We take a quick trip through Revolutionary history to understand why the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were written in the first place, and how those foundational documents promised freedom and protections that have since evolved to include all people.

But we’re also talking about the present, and why it’s dangerous when leaders — like Donald Trump — casually question whether they need to follow the Constitution. That mindset is more than just reckless; it’s a threat to democracy and to the rights we’ve fought for over generations.

From tariffs to executive orders, and cruelty to marginalized communities, we connect the dots between authoritarian actions and the erosion of rights — and we end by sharing real, actionable ways that YOU can help protect our democracy.

🛑 Just because someone is elected doesn't mean they get to rule unchecked. We didn’t come this far to bow to a wannabe king.

🔥 It’s time to remember why we fight — and how we win.

What if I told you that real power isn’t in the hands of politicians—it’s in ours?

In this special episode of Democracy on the Brink: A Revolution in Real Time, we’re breaking down the true power of the general strike—how everyday people have used it to challenge injustice, topple regimes, and reclaim their futures.

We dive into the history of general strikes, the science behind why they work, and how you can be part of this movement even if you can’t march in the streets.

From Wakanda’s rally cries to Star Wars rebellions, we’re pulling wisdom from the worlds we love—and applying it to the fight we're facing right now.

Because here’s the truth:

The attack on democracy isn’t coming.

It’s already here.

And the window to push back is closing fast.

Whether you’re a frontline protester, a digital warrior, or just figuring out where you fit in—you’re part of this.

Let’s talk about how we shut it down, lift each other up, and build the future they don’t want us to believe is possible.

🔹 Stay ready. Stay dangerous. Stay connected.

🔹 Share this episode with your crew—because movements grow when conversations start.

🔹 Subscribe for more real-time resistance, history lessons, and pop culture revolutions.

It’s Resurrection Sunday, and in this episode of Unwrapped, Tasha Pierce brings the heat to the pulpit. With Easter in full swing, she asks a pointed question to MAGA-aligned Christians: Would Jesus co-sign the cruelty we’re seeing today? From immigration policies to the treatment of federal workers, Tasha takes a look at the actions of the current administration through a biblical lens. Spoiler alert: it’s giving more “Pharisee” than “Prince of Peace.” Buckle up for a no-holds-barred sermon at the intersection of pop culture, politics, and common sense.

In this raw and unapologetic episode of Tasha Pierce: UnWrapped, Tasha breaks down the terrifying pattern playing out in real time: Donald Trump checking off the dictator to-do list like it’s a damn grocery run. From weaponizing the economy and flouting Supreme Court rulings to building a cult of personality and silencing opposition—this ain't conspiracy, it's the playbook.

Tasha connects the dots between Trump's latest trade war theatrics, insider stock market manipulation, and the dismantling of democratic norms—showing how all of it points to a creeping authoritarian takeover. This isn’t just political theater; it’s a real-time civics lesson in what happens when power goes unchecked.

With clarity and conviction, Tasha challenges listeners to stop sleepwalking through history. Now’s the time to wake up, speak out, and push back—before the final box on the dictatorship checklist is ticked.
