Happy White Cis Het Capitalist Patriarchy Month? by Laura Flanders

Laura goes back to where the International Women's Day began: in the dire straights of striking women, demanding autonomy and a right to the way they lived.

Laura describes how the history of Irish immigration to the United States shows the way lines drawn for deciding immigrants "merit" are blurry.

Laura's F-Word this week on how the Trump administration has launched a Soviety era, McCarthyist witch hunt to catch "illegal" immigrants, that's not really about immigrants at all.

It's not too far out to think that Trump and co.'s first target might be the judiciary courts themselves. Laura takes a look.

An F-Word from Laura on taking a breath in the midst of panic, to recollect, and then, organize.

Who governs is important, but what we really need to be talking about is government itself. Let's remember that least discussed statistic, 49% of eligible voters, some 117 million Americans, didn't even cast a vote in a country where registering is pretty darn difficult. That level of non-participation reflects an alienation that should be setting off alarm bells.

In the days since the election, the Trump team have stated their intention to 'open up' (nonexistent) libel laws and sue the elect's accusers. But it's not just about protecting old bastions of media, it's about transforming the very way we think about media and its role in directing our behavior.
