Then, how the right baited Joe Biden into removing pipes from harm reduction kits for addicts. Is he now growing a backbone after pardoning everyone with federal marijuana convictions? Let’s hope! Francesca breaks it down solo. Enjoy this special episode from the BONUS BISH archives and become a patron to support Francesca while she’s on maternity leave! www.patreon.com/bitchuationroom to always get an extra story in your special Frantifa feed.  Hosted on Acast.

Where Are Your Eyes? with Megan Gailey & Robin DG Kelley (Ep 232)

In the 'greatest democracy on Earth', the right to protest is being deeply criminalized. Journalist Adam Federman joins Francesca to explain the repressive collusion between private industry, the FBI and local law enforcement and the through-line from Keystone XL to Palestine movements. Then, comedian Kate Willet discusses some bad polling for Biden despite more reasons that a second Trump term would be absolutely unhinged. And finally, AI dating concierges? Are we just reinventing the human experience?

The State of Protest with Adam Federman & Kate Willet (Ep 231)

Barron is barely legal and the RNC has already decided to use him as a delegate.* That's more attention than his father has paid to him in months! Then, TikTok users outdo themselves with a new "Digital Guillotine" or Digitine that blocks celebrities who have not spoken out against genocide. God I love Gen Z. Then GOP representatives have the funniest new legislation to try and punish the pro-Palestine student protesters.
*Barron has since decided not to be a delegate. Attaboy.

Barron Rises & Blocking Celebrities Over Gaza?! *FRANTASTIC FRIDAY* 5/10

Forget the genocide itself and focus on the genocide's public image. Was its Met Gala outfit a bit over the top or was it just right? Cody Johnston of Some More News joins Francesca to talk about Anthony Blinken and Mitt Romney's wartime consensus, the ceasefire that will never be, the mainstream media's spinning itself into irrelevance, and Stormy Daniels being the best part of America. Finally, a game of "Comedy Cringeys" in which Jerry Seinfeld joins the anti-woke panic and Bill Maher finally admits his elitism.

Bad PR with Cody Johnston (Ep 230)

How do the student protest movements against US-sponsored genocide in Gaza mirror the anti-Vietnam war movement? How have things changed in 50 years and how has the empire gotten more fragile and more violent? Max Elbaum, lifelong radical and author joins Francesca for an hour-long discussion.
