Turns out, our tin foil hats were not for nothing; four far right losers with millions of followers were spreading propaganda in the U.S for Kremlin coin and are now in the crosshairs of the DOJ. Add the tragedy of a school shooting, an essential update on Gaza, and the full scoop on a surprising and important turn in Canadian politics, with Janaya Future Khan.
Pull out the tin foil hat and pull the blinds because this one's a wild ride that addresses the Venezuelan Gangs in Colorado story, why Musk and Trump keep calling Kamala a Communist, and a weird story out of Tampa that includes Russian spies? That, and we're 61 days out from the election with Janaya Future Khan.
Astronauts hearing heartbeats in space, an update on Brazil, and what the U.K's changing position on Israel might signify as Netanyahu vows to continue his monstrous, one sided war. That, and jump into the much needed debate bw Stein and AOC, and what lessons the left can take from them, w/ Janaya Future Khan.
The Paralympic Games are for serious fans only, Brazil boots out Elon Musk, and we're finally getting in some data on what school admissions look like since the Supreme Court ended Affirmative Action. That, and the 6 Israeli hostages Bibi abandoned for his endless war. Jump in to get the week off right with ya boy, Janaya Future Khan.
Infected applesauce, salmonella cantaloupes, listeria lunchmeat, what the hell is going on and why are food recalls suddenly so normal, and so deadly? Also, Robin DiAngelo's in hot water for plagiarizing work from people of color, shocking considering her entire body of work goes against that. Is DiAngelo a dud (yes), or iis there something larger going on? (also yes). This one is an absolute banger, jump in with Janaya Future Khan.
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg sent a letter to a guy on the Right that betrayed the Left to appeal to random guys on the Right. Or did he? Is there something we're missing, and how does this relate to the recent arrest of Telegram CEO in Paris? Jump in to find out. That, and Oasis is back + a new spin on an old problem: loneliness, w/ Janaya Future Khan.
Both Harris and Trump are rolling out their economic platforms, and they couldn't be more different. Get the breakdown on the latest shakedowns from the presidential candidates, and tap into how we use what we know to our advantage. In the words of Finn from Adventure Time, mathematical! (for those not in the know, this means cool, and does not include the face melting abstract science of number, quantity and space) with Janaya Future Khan.
You know we had to close out the last two days of the DNC right quick, but more importantly, highlight the voices and actions of Palestinians and activists denied access to the biggest stage in politics yet continue undeterred; the struggle continues. That, and discover the unbelievable amount of cash paying for our elections cycle while many struggle to pay their rent w/ Janaya Future Khan.
What happens when you put a Bernie, two 'Bama's, lil Jon and an Emhoff together? DNC Day 2 baby, that's what. Get the rundown on the winners, the losers, the whiners and the shiners while we break down what matters most. Also,remember how there was supposed to be a massive protest outside? Why didn't it happen, and what does it mean? w/Janaya Future Khan.
Hilary Clintons bob, AOC's barn burner speech, Steve Kerr, chants of "lock him up," farewell Joe, the ever elusive ceasefire. Come through for the highs and lows, the annoying and random, and the absent and present as we deep dive into day one of the DNC. Oh, and don't forget Roe 2,0. Should we be fighting to restore the 1973 precedent, or something new entirely? w/ Janaya Future Khan.
The Democratic National Convention kicks off, taking a completely different turn than the one imagined at the start of summer. Joe Biden says biiii, and so begins the reign of King Kamala, to be confirmed later this week. But with thousands of protestors in front of the arena, can Kamala get the job done? More importantly, can we? How to hold contradiction, curiosity, and compassion all at once, and something about Blake Lively, with Janaya Future Khan.
ps, meant Justin* ifykyk
You ever hear the expression, people are who they are? Well, let's say that's true of Kamala Harris. And let's say that, even tho Kamala Harris may not be the radical lefty needed in these streets rn, there's a way forward that could end the funds being sent for Israel's one sided war on Gaza. Jump in to get the breakdown. That, and ok Black man! Never let them underestimate you as a voter base again w/ Janaya Future Khan.
You know we had to cap this week with the bizarre, the necessary and the followup. We hit Minneapolis to check on the Ilhan Omar campaign as AIPAC's weird cousin tries to fund the opposition, a death at a Disney resort and the weird streaming terms of service agreement that covers it, and how climate change could collapse bridges across America w/ Janaya Future Khan.
Trump went on X (formerly Twitter) and lied about climate change to the guy, Elon Musk, who owns the platform and became the richest man on the planet, in part, as a climate champion. I watched the live break down what happens when two climate denying dummies come together in dangerous times. That, and we tackle the other reason people use to justify the popularization of transphobia, shutting down the argument once and for all, w/ Janaya Future Khan.
An earthquake, Iran's promise of retaliatoin, and the dangers of group think...on both sides?! What happens when we start replicating the cultures corrosive to growth w/Janaya Future Khan.
Get the best round up of elections and Olympics from over the weekend, pull back the curtain on unchecked elections spending that cuts the voices and votes everyday people out, and challenging the binary of fight or flight w/ Janaya Future Khan.
Tune in for the latest elections round up, get the story of the multi - million dollar effort to oust Rep. Cori Bush from Congress by AIPAC, and the dangers of weaponizing identity w/ Janaya Future Khan,
*note* Most news outlets report that AIPAC spent $8 - 9 million to remove Bush, local organizers say it was closer to $20 million, I reference/source both in the episode but be mindful that only the former number is vetted.
This episode is about the everyman even the staunchest leftists applaud as choice for VP. Who is Tim Walz really, and what is his record as governor of Minnesota? Tune to learn Walz's stance on important matters like immigration, Gaza, abortion and guns, and what we can expect from a Harris/Walz ticket w/ Janaya Future Khan.
Sheikh Hasina resigned as PM of Bangladesh on Monday and fled the country following deadly state repression of student led uprisings. How did the widely celebrated Bangladeshi leader become dangerous to the very people she dedicated much of her life to? Startling racist and anti-immigrant violence reached a peak in the UK as hundreds of bigots targeted Muslims, Black people, and immigrants, learn just what the f is going on over there. That, and, are we in a damn recession on top of everything else we got going on? Get into all of the good, bad and ugly w/ Janaya Future Khan.
Algerian boxer Imane Khelif was just living her regular life as an elite athlete competing at the Paris Olympics when the likes of Elon Musk, J.K Rowling, and Logan Paul attacked Khelif for being a man, pejorative for transwoman, for competing in the women's devision. Only, Khelif is a woman. She's been female her whole life. Listen as we get into just what the hell happened, the mythological crisis of transwomen in sports, and the strays women everywhere catch as a result. Oh, and Israel's deep investment in an endless war with the entire Middle East, possible on America's dime, w/ Janaya Future Khan.
