In the last episode of the year, we're thinking BIG about real political revolution with mentor of the show Max Elbaum. We discuss grassroots electoral work, the limitations and gains of the progressives Squad, and the lasting Bernie effect. All of it discussed in Max's new book Power Concedes Nothing: How Grassroots Organizing Wins Elections. But before that, Gareth and Francesca take stock of what's in the the approved big spending bill and Ukrainian president Zelenksy's address to Congress. Finally look who's teaching a Master Class now, Master Ass George W. Bush. PLUS for the patreon members, an F-35 jet has an embarrassing crash landing and Russia has a new gimmick to boost morale among their war-weary troops.

Rich idiots are getting caught this week. First Elon's Twitter policy-by-polling spins out of control and then the January 6th House committee concludes that yes indeed Trump (and others) should be criminally charged for the insurrection. John Iadarola of The Damage Report joins Francesca to bitch about it all and how sad it is that nobody reads anymore. And comedian Sara Schaefer joins to to talk about making it in Hollywood and which "nepo baby" to save from the fictional guillotine. Finally Francesca's solo stream about whether Avatar 2 is appropriation or appreciation. I see you, James Cameron.

If only Hunter Biden's laptop held the key to how to break up Big Tech and wrest it from the clutches of billionaires. Paris Marx, host of the podcast Tech Won't Save Us, joins Francesca to explain the importance of Twitter and what happens now that Elon Musk has put his grubby rich paws all over it. He also helps us envision a future where communication platforms aren't boosting the most heinous content and don't sell our data and market us poorly made leggings and coffee made of mud? Plus, comedian Trae Crowder joins to talk about the rail strike that wasn't and how Biden sold workers down the river. And Matt Taibbi's sad descent into right wing grifterdom is complete as he does the bidding of Elon Musk/the right through the Hunter Biden Laptop 'Twitter Files' release. What was revealed? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Stupid. Plus a Bonus Bish about bigots in North Carolina taking out the electricity to an entire town to prevent a drag show.

Not all progressives agree on police or prison abolition, but the conversation is breaking through to the mainstream. Movement lawyer Olayemi Olurin joins Francesca to discuss the overblown crime narrative and how to begin thinking about both defunding and divesting from the prison industrial complex, and also imagining something different. Also in the room is comedian Jena Friedman, whose new true crime show Indefensible breaks through sensationalized murder stories and with a bit of necessary comedic relief to boot. And Francesca gives her take on the Qatar World Cup in all of its problematic contradictions, plus a BONUS BISH about unprecedented protests in China.

If only we could pummel the Christian nationalist agenda with heels like the heroes of Club Q. Comedian Nato Green joins Francesca to break down yet another hate-fueled mass shooting in America, and both bitch about respective health insurance problems. Then David Dayen of the American Prospect explains what the GOP will do with a majority in the house. Spoiler: rob from the poor and give to the rich. Finally, with Elon at the helm everyone is saying goodbye to Twitter. What would your final sayonara tweet be?

The GOP's midterm performance is surely like their performance in bed: overpromising and underwhelming. Dark Brandon's will has been done and Democrats hold onto the Senate. Nelini Stamp of Working Families Party joins Francesca and comedian Kurt Braunholer to discuss. How did progressives, young people and women show up the party establishment? Plus, Trump announces he's running again! After all it's the only way he can stay out of jail. We think of new slogans.But will the energy to elect Ron DeSantis steal Trump's thunder? 

FINALLY: A patron only bonus bish about Elon's No Good Very Bad Week of Owning Twitter.

If there's one person who's rejoicing Musk's Twitter takeover it's self-proclaimed philosopher and pure carnivore Jordan Peterson. You know him, he's like the Lorax only instead of the trees he speaks for the incels. Francesca and Matt Lieb react to Peterson's Pride Month freak out, smack dab in the middle of a banner Twitter year for him, where he was banned for harassing of trans actor Elliot Paige and plus-sized swimsuit models. Of course now with Lonnie at the helm, Jordan will soon be back on and speaking his hateful truth. 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.
