While Lil' Bovino got the boot, right wing influencers are somehow still licking it. We discuss the regime and its minions’ reaction to the killing of Alex Pretti with Mehdi Hasan of Zeteo News. Plus, Trump has clearly proven himself to not be an anti-war president: from kidnapping Maduro to bombing Iran to threatening to invade Greenland. Now, his bogus “Gaza Peace Plan”--as laid out by son-in-law Jared Kushner--ensures he'll forever remain king of the waterfront property built on graves. Then,...

New video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good from the perspective of her killer, Jonathan makes it even clearer how little of a threat she posed to agents.

Francesca takes stock of how the War on Terror and police brutality have fused into the most toxic and lethal mix. And as always Democrats are MIA. *** See Francesca LIVE Satu...

What if a mob boss had the power of the pardon? We’re finding out. It’s been quite the year to be a criminal. Not for the people labeled criminals like immigrants or trans people, but people who actually have charges, convictions even! In his first year in office of his second term, Trump has pardoned a whopping 2,000 criminals who have committed all kinds of horrible acts and are still menaces to society.

Is Glinda a centrist? Is Elphaba a revolutionary leader or did she fail? And how does the story of Elphaba and Glinda working together teach us some lessons for fighting fascism in a very unmagical place: present-day United States. Francesca unpacks the political allegories in Wicked, beyond Oz’s anti-animal fascism, to look at how the allyship between Glinda and Elphaba mirrors characters within the Democratic Party.

Only very very different. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Candace Owens, and Tucker Carlson are all openly speaking out against Israel much to the chagrin of conservative and Christian Zionists. Francesca explains the rift between neoconservatives and the growing chorus of “groypers” who are actually antise...

Is that hope we’re all feeling? After the absolute trouncing of Republicans on November 4th, people who believe in basic decency are feeling pretty damn good.

This administration is unwell. Their online posting habits are evidence enough. If they were a friend we’d probably recommend touching grass. Or therapy. But they are not our friends but rather wannabe fascists who are disappearing immigrants and demonizing anyone who disagrees with them.
