In the Biden-Trump debates, no one wins. Dr. Jonathan Metzl joins to discuss and debate what Democrats need to be doing ahead of this year's historic election.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It has been nine years, nearly a full decade, since Donald Trump descended down that golden escalator with his message of American hate. Trump changed everything for the worse, and our country's progress is still regressing. If he wins in November, that regression will only move even faster. This is Danielle Moodie's warning on this Woke Wednesday.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Trump tumor is metastasizing, and Democrats seem unable to stop it. Something good that's unstoppable is the current union drive across America; currently Mercedes auto workers are unionizing in Alabama, and Kay Finklea joined Danielle to talk all about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are a lot of problems in the world, but we need to work to be part of the solution. One of those doing that important work is Yolanda Peoples, a Volkswagen worker who was part of a successful organizing drive at her plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee to join the UAW - United Auto Workers union. Danielle spoke with her about their efforts, why it took three tries to successfully unionize, and why unions are so important across various industries.
