Woke AF Daily

Have you ever been given a second chance, or even a third? What about a TENTH? That's what Donald Trump is currently being given by the American "justice" system. Skye Perryman, President & CEO of Democracy Forward, returns to discuss recent Supreme Court cases and what's on the horizon in the current session.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2020, up against Donald Trump, Joe Biden was already a tough pill to swallow. Now in 2024, even against the same threat of Trumpism, it's even harder to accept the decision facing Americans at the polls in November.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's exactly what Joe Biden is doing, with his weak and misguided response to student protests across the country for justice in Gaza. Mark Thompson returns to Woke AF Daily for a special conversation with Danielle Moodie about this crucial moment, with perspective from the ground floor at Columbia. This conversation was recorded prior to NYPD incursions on the Columbia campus and others across America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joe Biden is currently the "Sophie's Choice" candidate and Danielle is starting to waver in her public support for this administration. Dr. Jonathan Metzl joins to give his perspective as both a sociologist and a Jewish American, recorded BEFORE the violent police incursions on college campuses.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Danielle continues to shine a light on the most important story in America: the violent crackdown on student protests on college campuses across the country. This is actually not a "complex" issue, and we as a people need to think about the work that is required to put into creating the world we desire.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The philosophy of this Supreme Court and the entire right-wing movement that has led to this moment is one of depravity. Law professor Jennifer Taub returns to Woke AF Daily to discuss this critical moment and why President Biden, if elected to a second term, needs to expand the Supreme Court.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You asked and Woke AF delivered! Elie Mystal, Justice Correspondent for The Nation, returns to Woke AF Daily to share his legal perspective on our unaccountable Supreme Court, as well as his personal response to mainstream media scrutiny of campus protests.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is a dark time in America, and as always the cruelty is the point. Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, new and renewed draconian laws have sprung up which all have the same goal: controlling and punishing women. IF he wins a second term, Joe Biden needs to have the political courage to expand the Supreme Court.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr Suzanne Lachmann returns to Woke AF Daily to share a perspective echoed by other experts: Donald Trump is exhibiting signs of dementia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For more and more of us, especially young people, the "American dream" is no longer a pacifier. As for Danielle, this election she is voting to bide time, not for Biden.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
