The Bitchuation Room

Faith in Biden is slipping. Faith in even progressive representatives is slipping. Whether it’s ending climate change, passing an infrastructure bill or rooting out white supremacy, Democrats too often end up going home when they could go big. On the eve of a bad night for many Democrats (with some silver linings in local elections), Adam Johnson of Citations Needed joins to talk about the failure of the party to think outside the box and their pocketbooks. And comedian Steve Hernandez discusses how unsurprised he is by the details of one Jan 6th insurrectionists’ prison stay. We’ve all eaten those bologna sandwiches. Finally, what thing in your life can you blame on the illustrious “supply chain.” PLUS a *PATREON ONLY* bonus bish on the hundreds of QAnon supporters wait on the grassy knoll in Dallas for JFK Jr. to return from the dead.

The tables are turning in America's one-sided class war that working people tend to lose. Strikes are cropping up nationwide, and workers are no longer settling for underpaid jobs, and everyone is sharing HBOMax passwords! #Solidarity. Stimulus checks have meant there’s a bit more more ‘fuck you money’ as economist Doug Henwood observes, leading to what some are calling The Great Resignation. Henwood joins to discuss how reckless the one percent has been and how much the pandemic has exposed that the ways we usually conceive of the economy are in and of themselves, bankrupt. Plus comedian Nato Green on Trump’s new social media fail and what Alec Baldwin’s accidental murder says about workers’ rights on film sets. AND a Patreon Only *Bonus Bish* about which supernatural creatures 53% of Trumpers believe in. Guests:  Doug Henwood, Economist and Journalist: https://twitter.com/DougHenwood Nato Green, Comedian and Union Organizer: https://twitter.com/natogreen  Join the Franifa and become a Patron today: www.patreon.com/bitchuationroomFollow The Bitchuation Room on Twitter @BitchuationPodGet your TBR merch: www.bitchuationroom.comThanks to Rebecca Rufer, Maximillien Inhoff, Ellie Hoffman, Alexandra OrnessMusic Credits: The Cannery by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4485-the-canneryLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseSupport The Bitchuation Room on: Venmo: @TBR-LIVE Cash-App: @TBRLIVE  Check Out The Bitchuation Room Podcast iTunes: http://bit.ly/iTunesbitchuationSpotify: http://bit.ly/spotifybitchuation Stitcher: http://bit.ly/stitcherbitchuation Find Francesca On: Twitter: https://twitter.com/franifio YouTube: The Bitchuation Room’s channel: https://www.youtube.com/franifio Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/franifioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FranifioInsta: https://www.instagram.com/franifio/ Hosted on Acast.

We now know that AT&T nearly fully funded OANN because they "needed another right-wing news channel."

It was anti-capitalist mass direct action. How did it even happen? Looking back at ten years since Occupy Wall Street, the lasting legacy of a “leaderless” movement with no central demands was actually far greater than anyone could have imagined. It was a moment of resistance, of saying enough is enough. Social justice educator Sonny Singh and comedian Nato Green join Francesca to discuss the lessons of Occupy Wall Street and the conditions that were ripe for such an unprecedented action. Plus the GOP-led Arizona election audit goes awry and AOC votes “present” on a billion dollars for Israel’s Iron Dome. Finally, imagining a world without Facebook. And a BONUS discussion for *PATRONS ONLY*, more discussion of Occupy: what were the internal struggles, how did the police ultimately win, and the openings for social movements when fascism is out of the way.
