Episode description
Welcome to Workers' Lit, your favorite show about the battle for narrative.
Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?
Today we talk about our focus as a show before discussing the ongoing narrative war in our culture...on several fronts. First, we made Jen watch Hamilton, so we chat about that, which turns into a bit of a side conversation about right-wing films.
Then we get back into ICE and mass deportations. Is Trump on the back foot? Will the Democrats step up? Is the so-called "Joe Rogan Coalition" getting squeamish on MAGA? All that and more.
Finally, we acknowledge Holocaust Remembrance Day and read Bend the Arc's statement.
