Argentina First And The Hope of Zohran w/ Sam Seder & Chris Robbins (Ep 303)
 Food seems important. Whether eating it or growing it. But in between the government shutdown and the tariff trade wars, Trump and the GOP have endangered both farmers and 40 million Americans who rely on supplemental nutrition programs or SNAP. In Aransas, soybean farmers are taking their own lives in places, while cattle ranchers are wondering why the U.S. is vowing to buy Argentine beef.  
Sam Seder of The Majority Report joins to talk about the moral cruelty and political stupidity of this moment and the fallout of Graham Platner’s tattoo.
Then Chris Robbins of the blog Hell Gate NYC joins to discuss how far mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani has come, the growing influence of DSA and how Mamdani is handling the blatant xenophobia.

Don't Poop on My Parade with Rep. Summer Lee & Miles Gray (Ep 302)
 How can the No Kings energy translate into real legislative and political wins? It's not like people haven't shown up in the millions before. Miles Gray of The Daily Zeitgeist joins to talk about Trump taking an AI dump on protesters, while MAGA searches for who is behind the protesters since nothing they do isn't subsidized by a billionaire. Then, rich New Yorkers are terrified of Zohran Mamdani even though they admit they're not going to move if he wins. Then Rep. Summer Lee is BACK talking Mike Johnson's Epstein-deluded government shutdown, justice for Palestinian Americans killed by Israel, AIPAC, crypto, and why we should abolish Superpacs.

Yes They're Nazis with Van Lathan Jr. & Wajahat Ali (Ep 301)
 The Young Republicans group chats have leaked and it’s even worse than you might imagine.  Wajahat Ali and Van Lathan Jr. join Francesca to talk about the white nationalist elephant in the room, and the mainstreaming of hate even in just the past four years. 
Then, establishment Democrats are striking out on progressive podcasts over the issue of AIPAC and Israel. Van Lathan explains his recent interview with Bruce Wayne–er Governor Gavin Newsom–and why his non-response to pointed questions about Israel are very INTERESTING INDEED.

Most Brain Rotted Presidency Ever
 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. 
In this deep dive Francesca explores how Trump’s propaganda derives from the very bowels of the internet that Trump’s victories have pulled from: the gamers, the incels, the 4chan and 8chan white nationalists. These are the online communities with big mass shooter energy who hate women, people of color, and living in a society? 
And actual mass shooters exhibit the same kinds of posting behavior as whoever is behind these unhinged DHS and White House posts. 
So it’s no accident that Trump’s propaganda pulls from these same places in order to recruit sad dads to work for ICE. In order to do racist violence you should probably be a violent racist. You want armies of Nick Fuentes’. 
And it’s extra funny that while being tough online, DHS claims *they* are the ones being targeted. It’s extra rich that FBI director Kash Patel claims he’s ‘going after nihilistic extremists who were radicalized online’. He should start by looking in the mirror.

A Two Year Sea Change On Zionism with Lana Salah & Matt Lieb (Ep 300)
 For the 300th episode of The Bitchuation Room and the two-year anniversary of the genocide, Francesca is joined by comedians Matt Lieb and Lana Salah for the latest updates on breaking the siege and Trump and Bibi's plans for Gaza.
Trump is desperate for the Nobel Peace Price and wants a ceasefire to get it, while Bibi is “always so f*cking negative!”. Meanwhile, the FBI cuts ties with the ADL after Charlie Kirk's death despite the organization going to bat for Elon’s nazi salute. 
Plus, flotilla activists including Greta Thunberg prove Israel is not impenetrable, and Italy’s general strike is lit.
Meanwhile, ICE’s latest crackdown in Chicago leaves over a thousand people detained. As blackhawk helicopters descend and babies are teargassed, Fox News trots out a Michael Rapaport look alike to tell us about the dangers of Antifa.

Anti-Capitalism Is Now a Crime and RFK Jr.'s Tylenol Crusade feat. Derek Beres (Ep 299)
 Trump escalates his crackdown: unveiling a new directive on so-called "left-wing terrorism," to put puts thousands of FBI and other agents to work to domestic terrorism watchlist. Chuck Schumer says Democrats need Republicans to help to stop it... which sounds like a terrible plan! And ICE’s reign of terror in Portland ramps up as Ta-Nehisi Coates takes on the NYT’s #1 white boy.
Then, Derek Beres of the Conspirituality podcast joins to dive into the latest chaos in RFK Jr. world from conspiracy theories on autism to vaccine rollbacks as a massive COVID wave surges. 
We also  break down the politics of TrumpRX, Trump’s latest plan to let Americans buy drugs directly from the government -- whatever happened to taking on Big Pharma RFK?!

The Creeps Of The Pronatalist Movement
 We’ve been promised a new American Baby Boom by a man who wears diapers and calls himself president, but the plan isn’t going well. Trump has surrounded himself with yet another cluster of weirdos: the pronatalists. Pronatalists claim they are concerned with population decline despite no evidence of population decline. They claim their movement isn’t racist despite openly talking about ‘white genocide’ and the ‘Great Replacement Theory.’
In this deep dive, Francesca explores the characters who lead this eugenic-adjacent movement– from the Collinses who like to hit their 3-year-old in public, to the founder of the annual conference NatalCon Kevin Dolan, who is an extremist Mormon– and their close ties to the U.S. government via Elon Musk, Peter Theil and JD Vance.
What’s the real reason people aren’t having kids, and how are pronatalists and their friends in high places, totally unserious about changing that. Don’t worry, it’s not your genes they want, it’s their own. Their very very weird genes.

Kirk's Creepy Memorial and Democrats Demanding Better w/ Akela Lacy and Mohanad Elsheiky (Ep 298)
 Funerals usually have waterworks but pyrotechnics, antisemitism AND Goebbel’s plagiarism? Sign me up! Francesca and comedian Mohanad Elsheiky discuss the unsettling Charlie Kirk memorial, and the looming takeover of TikTok from a man named Lachlan and the Ellison family. Wither Palestine speech. 
Plus Kimmel is back on the air, kind of… Then journalist Akela Lacy joins to talk about Rep. Ilhan Omar’s path of truth telling and bold proposals, and Kamala Harris. Womp. Harris barely endorses Zohran and tries to pass every buck for her failure as a presidential candidate. What’s next for the rift in the Big Tent party and why is “good enough” not enough.

Black-Pilled Billionaires and Shooters w/ Jacob Silverman & Blakeley (Ep 297)
 Jacob Silverman, journalist and author of 'Gilded Rage: Elon Musk and the Radicalization of Silicon Valley,' joins the conversation to explore how tech billionaires have shifted from liberal ideals to reactionary politics. He discusses the impact of AI narratives on authoritarianism and the influence of foreign investments in Silicon Valley. Blakeley, a musician and content creator, adds insight into the dangers of censorship and doxxing in today’s political climate, examining the implications for free speech and local governance.
