Redditors may have won the battle but they’ll never win the war, since entire battlefield is controlled by fat cats on Wall Street. Former finance professional turned advocate for financial reform, Alexis Goldstein stopped by The Bitchuation Room to drop knowledge on what Gamestonks means for regulating Wall St. moving forward. Also what does “shorting stock” mean and what should progressives be demanding in the short and long term when it comes to democratizing the economy?

Moving day has arrived for Don. After the failed coup, being impeached (again) and with donors jumping the GOP ship, this is perhaps the most predictable end to a trash presidency. Now comes Biden, with some bad ideas and some good ones, and a lot of work ahead. Miles Gray (The Daily Zeitgeist) joins Francesca to talk impeachment, Rudy, the NRA, and MyPillow guy. Then Alexandra Rojas, Executive Director of Justice Democrats talks about how to grow the power of the progressive Squad and the importance of having both movement and electoral strategy. Finally, just how much sage is it going to take to clear out the ghost of Jeffery Epstein from the West Wing?  Featuring:Miles Gray (Comedian, The Daily Zeitgeist - @milesofgrayhttps://twitter.com/milesofgray) Alexandra Rojas (Executive Director, Justice Democrats - @alexandrasiera )  Francesca Fiorentini, host Support The Bitchuation Room podcast by joining the Frantifa and becoming a patron!

It’s global hegemony not Adam and Steve! From very real US wars abroad to the imagined “war on Christmas”, Francesca digs deep with comedian Brent Terhune and historian Juan Cole.
