The Professional Left Podcast with Driftglass and Blue Gal
Driftglass and Blue Gal
"Fiercely and unapologetically progressive, and definitely NSFW. 'The Professional Left' features award-winning bloggers Driftglass and Blue Gal as they skewer right-wing absurdities and dismantle mainstream media mealy-mouths with razor-sharp wit and zero filter. From mercilessly mocking partisan hacks to elevating stories the media ignores, it's the profane, unflinching political commentary you didn't know you needed. More at http://ProLeftPod.com."

Ep 549: Black Lives Matter Isn't Just a Square in Washington DC
Black Lives Matter Square is named in Washington. We protest in Springfield IL, wonder if Facebook is okay if you're connecting with activists, and roll our eyes at Nextdoor's passive racists. The New York Times can't get their messaging right - is it Bret Stephen's fault? And every Never Trumper thinks their party wasn't racist when THEY were around.

Ep 548: George Floyd Is a Better Man Than The Coward in Chief
We recommend listening to podcasters of color this weekend. Why Joe Biden's "woman vice president announcement" really matters. DG is having trouble writing, and BG writes down why. Also, We’ll get back to doing a more detailed news breakdown when the news is something other than the GOP on an unfettered lying and homicide spree. We said what we said.
